DESCRIPTION: This week we’re revisiting our very first conversation with writer/director (and franchise stalwart) Christopher McQuarrie. In this super-sized episode we’ll go into detail about his contributions to “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol,” learn about some hidden Easter eggs in “Rogue Nation,” of course talk about “Fallout” (which at the time was just-released) and, of course, discuss Tom Cruise’s hair. Released April 1st, 2022.

SHOW NOTES: Follow Christopher McQuarrie on Twitter.
