DESCRIPTION: Rarely are unmade versions of “Mission: Impossible” movies discussed, but that’s exactly what we’re doing with David Marconi, who wrote a version of “Mission: Impossible II” for Oliver Stone. His version involved a malevolent A.I.

Remember to delete your cookies beforehand. Released December 5th, 2023.
