Minority Mindset

As a huge Mission: Impossible fan, I’m so excited to hear that some of the older films are coming to Prime Video! Starting January 1, 2026, I’ll be able to rewatch classics like M:I II, M:I III, and Ghost Protocol whenever I want. It’s awesome that Amazon is adding these to their streaming service, especially with the latest film, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, just recently in theaters. It’s a little disappointing that the movies directed by Christopher McQuarrie – M:I 5 through 8 – aren’t included in this deal, but thankfully they’ll still be available on Paramount+, so we won’t miss out on any of the action!

The upcoming movie Avengers: Secret Wars will conclude the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Multiverse Saga, the main storyline that began after Endgame. Although not every project in this saga has directly involved traveling to different universes, the idea of the multiverse has been a major focus in recent Marvel films and TV shows. While this approach has allowed for unexpected returns of characters, Secret Wars pushes the concept so far that it will be difficult to continue using it in the future.

In an interview with Variety, director Amy Zenovich shared that Chevy Chase immediately made it clear he wouldn’t be easy to work with. When she told him she was trying to understand him, the 82-year-old comedian reportedly said she wasn’t intelligent enough – though he did follow it up with a smile, which made it into the documentary. This initial exchange signaled to Zenovich that Chase would be her most challenging subject yet, considering her previous documentaries focused on figures like Roman Polanski, Robin Williams, and Lance Armstrong. Despite this difficult start, she eventually found a way to connect with him.
