About
Spencer has given Van a mission that is difficult but possible, which is to cover the spy show Mission: Impossible. Today’s audiences likely know the M:I franchise better as a multi-decade film series starring the smallest and most daring scientologist in Hollywood, but the Boob Tubers want to talk about where it all began.
This week, Agent Cinnamon has been captured behind enemy lines, and it’s up to the IMF team to assemble a disgusting dummy that will trick an unnamed European nation into freeing her. Will Peter Graves be able to put one over on a beacon of evil named Colonel Strom? The Boob Tube Boys have a top secret good time talking about a show that manages to be smart and stupid at the same time.
Spencer wraps up the episode with an unforgettable tale of trunk time gone wrong.

About
More than just the life of one agent is at stake in this week’s Mission: Impossible. There’s a big villain meeting on a special island, and only the legendary agents of IMF can unravel its potential damage. Van runs down cast changes in the show before tackling an especially tangled plot that the whole crew enjoyed.
The Tube Group learns all about tram operation and the people behind it as the IMF team try to trick several lesser bad guys into distrusting the main bad guy. Peter Graves wears all sorts of neat costumes, while Brian appreciates this episode’s inclusion of the classic ” this message will self destruct” tape.
Van continues Boob Tube Hot Potato with a curious gift to Brian: a trip to 19th century Colorado!
