Mission: Impossible is THE franchise

Ethan Hunt is a good spy because he thinks he can just bat his eyelashes at anyone and immediately get everything he wants. And he is completely right about it.

And with that, we're done.

Here we are, people, this is the big one. Arc and Punct present the Queer Reading of Mission Impossible 1. This one is JAMMED PACK and you should really watch the movie for yourself first before listening to this, as we basically give seven TED talks for the duration of the runtime with minimal pauses.

Topics include:

The power of the close perspective of MI (including the proper use of Dutch angles, DePalma's POV shots, and Ethan's hallucinations)

Ethan's long path to leadership, from MI1 to GP

Honeytrap vs honeytrap manipulation, Ethan vs Claire

The anatomy of a non-action hero and the female-coding of Ethan's homme fatale skillset

MI1 as a psychological thriller

Max and Ethan definitely fucked and other times Ethan employs his wiles

The extremely crunchy and uncomfortable dynamic of Ethan, Claire, and Phelps

okay but for real why did Gunther keep the fucking creepy mask all the way to Ghost Protocol?????

And at last, the victory lap. Our favorite movie, Rogue Nation, the final installment of our series.

Just so much stanning of Christopher McQuarrie, it's absurd

Yet another round of Ethan Hunt and Gender

Arc still hates Alec Baldwin unfortunately

Which is the best Hidden Gun of the Vienna Opera sequence? Vote now on your phones!

TC is correct about the symbolic power of shoes actually

Benji is literally 90% of Ethan's impulse control

Can you spot Ilsa's disappearing trick? Play along at home!

Punct drops the truly incredible wisdom: "Benji is the key to Ethan's lock. Ethan imprints on everyone, but Benji gets everyone to imprint on him."

The full playlist in the intended order is here. Enjoy.

not totally satisfied with my novel on MI1 Ethan and gender I want to put it a different way for a second. MI1 Ethan embodies the tropes of a noir detective, an ingenue, a femme fatale, and a final girl, among others. He’s his father’s son and his mother’s daughter—he’s also his mother’s husband and his father’s wife—his mother is seducing him on his father’s orders. He tracks down the woman who has all the power he doesn’t and offers her sex just so she’ll give him the chance to set a trap. I don’t know what kind of gender that is but fuck it sure is

~ ana tip ~

If you have been going strong but all of a suden you feel like youre about to eat something you know you dont have to, pause, and tell yourself that youre going to sit down and have a coffee first. take your time drinking it and try and focus on something else bseides food while you do. Remind yourself that the food will still be there later. After you finish your coffee you should have more control/your mind should be clearer. Also make sure you drink your coffee in a different room-- so either not the kitchen or wherever the food may be.

Im doing this rn and its working for me.

Stay safe and stay hydrated <3
