The Watch · 2025-05-27

Chris and Andy talk about the ‘Last of Us’ Season 2 finale, why adapting the show from the video game caused more limitations and issues in this season than in the first one (08:24), and what’s on deck for Season 3 of the show. Then they talk about ‘Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning,’ the maybe-final installment of the ‘Mission: Impossible’ franchise, and why the stunning action set pieces could not make up for the incomprehensible plotlines (45:44).
