DESCRIPTION: This week we’re back with the conclusion of our chat with Kris Peck, prop master from “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.” This time we get into the nuclear football from the end of the movie, and go through an impressive book of sketches Kris brought along. Plus we hear stories about working with Gore Verbinski, Christopher Nolan, and Rian Johnson (on the “Knives Out” sequel!). Also, Kris gives us his hair and movie preferences. They might surprise you! Released November 26th, 2021.
