Say what you want about Tom Cruise, but that man is determined to die on film for our entertainment. With each Mission: Impossible movie, the insanity of the stunts Tom Cruise performs only increases. Of course, a stunt crew is present, but that’s still really Tom Cruise hanging off the side of huge plane during takeoff. Or scaling the world’s tallest building. Or HALO jumping. Let’s put it this way, the guy who wrote Cruise’s life insurance policy was fired a long time ago. Regardless, as the videos below show, the man knows how to promote a movie. Take a look…
When it comes to pulling off insane stunts and action sequences, it certainly doesn’t hurt that Tom Cruise is batshit crazy. Not to mention the immortality and other abilities granted to him through Scientology. Mission: Impossible is one of the best action franchises of the 21st century, so needless to say Dead Reckoning is high on my list of most anticipated movies of 2023. Check out the trailer below.
A look back at some of the coolest stunts in the series…

The Boys on Amazon Prime is at the top of the heap when it comes to prestige, to of the line, TV storytelling. For me, the series stands alongside shows like The Mandalorian, Invincible, and Succession as the best of best on TV. One of the strengths of The Boys is how well it adapts the source material. While character beats and story elements may get changed around, they all still represent original ideas from The Boys graphic novels. The show seamlessly distills what makes the comic great and filters it in a way that works for a different medium. At long last, the series is returning with it’s highly anticipated Season 3 on June 3rd and now we have our first trailer! Check it out right here:
The show’s return alone would be awesome enough, but there are some really fun new elements at play in the upcoming season that have fans very excited. As the poster teased and the trailer confirmed, Kimiko will no longer be the only member of The Boys with superpowers. The team is starting to fight fire with fire, with at least Butcher and Hughie using Compound-V to kick in the heads of some Supes. It’s not clear if Frenchie and MM will be getting a power upgrade as well.
The gangs all here…
The new season is also reportedly tackling, “Herogasm”, one of the most insane and depraved storylines from the original comic book series. Most notably, Season 3 sees Supernatural’s Jensen Ackles joining the cast, making his debut as Soldier Boy. The character fought in WWII as Vought’s first super soldier and this universe’s demented version of Captain America. Jensen Ackles has a long history with The Boys showrunner, Erik Kripke. Kripke created Supernatural and served as the series showrunner for the first 5 seasons. After Supernatural wrapped up a beloved, record breaking 15 season run, Ackles immediately transitioned over to The Boys. So fans are understandably excited to see him play such a different character than his iconic role as Dean Winchester. Interestingly enough, Jensen Ackles was one of top contentders at Marvel Studios for the role of Captain America, way back in the day. He was officially offereed the role of Hawkeye, but passed to continue working on Supernatural. But Soldier Boy won’t be the only analog of one of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to appear in Season 3.
If The Seven are this universe’s The Justice League, then Payback is their version of The Avengers. The team is expected to feature heavily this season, with Season Premiere titled “Payback”. They have their own spin on characters like Iron Man with Tek Knight, Hawkeye with Eagle The Archer (who we already met in Season 2 as a member of The Scientology-esque cult that The Deep joins), and Scarlett Witch with The Crimson Countess, seen below played by Laurie Holden.
With Season 4 already confirmed, Karl Urban is reportedly already hard at work filming Season 4, with shooting taking place until the end of the year. Which means that we’ll likely have a much smaller wait between seasons. Anyway, it looks like we’re in for more mayhem, carnage, and insanity as only The Boys can deliver.
In addition to of all this crazy new shit, lets not forget everyone’s favorite psychopath with powers of Superma, Homelander, is an ever present threat to Butcher and The Boys.
The Boys premieres its first 3 episode on 6/3/22, with subsequent episodes released weekly on Amazon Prime.

On this episode of The World’s Best Podcast, Ryan and I review Last Night In Soho, the latest film from director Edgar Wright! A new Edgar Wright film is a big deal for all of us here at World’s Best Media. He’s best known for his iconic Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, Shaun of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World’s End.
Wright also directed the excellent Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World and Baby Driver. I love his entire filmography, but his last movie, Baby Driver, is one of the best movies of the last 20 years, in my opinion. Now, we have Last Night In Soho. So we were pretty damn excited going into this new film. As I said in our review for The Suicide Squad, like James Gunn, Edgar Wright easily makes it onto my list of The 10 Best Working Directors. So if Edgar Wright is writing/directing, you can bet your ass I’ll be watching.
Some thing Edgar Ray has in common with another one of my favorite filmmakers Quentin Tarantino is that the feature of fantastic music in all of their films. Wright and Tarantino are very close friends, and one night while discussing music Quentin brought up the band Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich. Their music was featured prominently in Tarantino’s movies, Death Proof. Quinton asked Edgar “Have you ever heard Last Night In Soho”? Edgar said he hadn’t, Quentin played the song (by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich), and said ‘This is the best title music for a film that’s never been made.’”. The original titles for the film didn’t work because there had already been obscure movies made with the titles Edgar Wright wanted to use. He remembered te conversation with his old friend Quentin Tarantino and decided to call the film Last Night In Soho, the rest is history…
If you actually plan on seeing Last Night In Soho, I definitely recommend going to watch the film for yourself and then come back and listen to this episode. Because one of the great delights of the movie is how unique and unexpected it is, and that’s very rare at the movies these days! FULL SPOILERS in this episode!!!

When I wrote an article about the 10 best TV shows of 2019, both The Boys and The Umbrella Academy were pretty damn high on the list. So, I’m very excited to see what each series has cooked up for Season 2. Their EXTREMELY different shows, but besides Watchmen, they are hands down the best superhero television series running right now. I’m psyched for both shows, but while I love the insanity of The Boys trailer, I think I like The Umbrella Academy trailer just a little bit more. Mostly because I have no fucking clue where The Umbrella Academy will take things in Season 2. Either way, I have a feeling that watching both of these new seasons is going to be a blast! Take a look at the trailers and some promo posters below…

Your mission, should you chose to accept it, is to listen to the latest episode of “The World’s Best Podcast”. In this episode I review Mission: Impossible Fallout, the latest entry in Tom Cruise’s longtime action/spy film series. I give my general thoughts in the beginning and then go into full spoilers on this one. The movie, much like this podcast, was AMAZING! Listen here or subscribe on Stitcher and iTunes:
Check out these cool videos below, the first is a great breakdown of the character of Ethan Hunt from the Patrick (H) Wilson YouTube channel and Insurance Impossible, a short film by Michael Cole about the poor bastard who handles the insurance on all the Mission: Impossible movies. Make sure you watch them both after listening to the podcast.
