Join us for part two of our chat with podcast host, comedian and producer Paul Scheer! On this week’s episode we talk about how much Paul loves “Rogue Nation,” what his favorite in the series is, and we get some delicious details about what it was like filming “Piranha 3D” (a Charles and Drew favorite). Plus we talk a lot about Tom Cruise’s hair (obviously).

This week we return to our Tom Cruise interview, which was previously heard in our 200th episode. If you’ve already heard it, this is a fun return, and if you never have welcome! We have many, many more episodes. In our chat TC talks about some of his less talked about work (including “Legend” and “The Color of Money”), how he started the “Mission: Impossible” film franchise, and more. It’s a really great chat and one we were glad to hit replay on.

Revisiting Our Tom Cruise Interview

This week we have a special episode, recorded live outside of a derelict motel near the Las Vegas Airport! Drew and Charles talk about the new trailer, 20 minutes of “Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, Part One” and the new movie’s amazing title sequence, all screened at this year’s CinemaCon.

232. CinemaCon Recap: 20 Minutes of 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1' Plus the New Trailer!

This episode we are joined by Clint Schultz, a graphic designer for “Top Gun: Maverick.” We talk about the helmets in "Maverick" and how they actually break the rules set forth by the Navy; the history of Hangman’s name (including a surprising connection to a heavy metal band) and what it is like working with Tom Cruise. And we’ll be back for more next week!

233. Clint Schultz, Part 1 (Graphic Designer for 'Top Gun: Maverick')

We are once again joined by Clint Schultz, graphic designer for “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Mission: Impossible 3” and this week we talk about the logo for the IMF that Schultz designed (and is barely seen in the movie), designing the four dots logo for “Ghost Protocol,” and he tells stories about “Zodiac,” “Tomorrowland,” “Star Trek” and much, much more!

234. Clint Schultz, Part 2 (Graphic Designer for 'Mission: Impossible 3')

It’s time for our forensic, shot-by-shot analysis of the new trailer for “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, Part One.” We get into the nitty gritty of the terrific new trailer, looking for clues, solving riddles and attempting to solve our own globetrotting mystery. If you’ve ever wanted two nerds to pick apart a trailer like it’s the Zapruder film, this is the episode for you!

235. Breakdown of the New 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1' Trailer!

This week we are joined by a truly amazing guest – Bryan Burk, who produced “Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol” and “Rogue Nation.” (He was also around for “3.”) On this episode, we talk about how Brad Bird was hired, the contributions on the “Ghost Protocol” script by Damon Lindelof and Christopher McQuarrie, and how Bird was like Stanley Kubrick. Plus so much more!

236. Bryan Burk, Part 1 (Producer of 'Ghost Protocol' and 'Rogue Nation')

&nbsp;Super-producer Bryan Burk, who produced “Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol” and “Rogue Nation,” returns! On this installment Burk talks to us about what he learned from Tom Cruise about producing, how close Gene Hackman came to being in “Ghost Protocol” (and Martin Landau in “Rogue Nation”), and we discuss his hair preferences. What more do you want?

237. Bryan Burk, Part 2 (Producer of 'Ghost Protocol' and 'Rogue Nation')
