Episode 178 - Mission Impossible 2 + Morbius + Terrornauts + The Midnight Man + Avengers Endgame + Way Bad Stone + Boiling Point + Virtuosity

On The Stacks this week, part one (0:00-1:58:54) we discuss the ultra-Y2K megahit Mission Impossible 2, directed by John Woo, in addition to "The Return of the Archons" - the 21st episode of Star Trek (TOS). In part two (1:58:55-3:10:51), we have shorter-form discussion of seven additional features: the disastrous 2022 Daniel Espinosa superhero picture Morbius, the 1966 British low budget Montgomery Tully sci-fi The Terrornauts, the oddly proto-Twin Peaks 1974 crime drama The Midnight Man, directed by Roland Kibbee (and co-directed by Burt Lancaster), Anthony & Joe Russo's massive 2019 MCU phase-capper Avengers: Endgame, the 1991 Archie Waugh SOV LARP spectacular Way Bad Stone, the hilarious 1990 Takeshi Kitano black comedy / yakuza film Boiling Point, and the overlooked 1994 Brett Leonard cyber-thriller Virtuosity. As usual, part three consists of brief capsule discussion of everything else we've watched since last time, and our picks for next week.
