Mission: Impossible has become one of Hollywood's longest-running and most successful film franchises. 2023 saw the release of Dead Reckoning, the seventh installment in the series. Light The Fuse - The Official Mission: Impossible Podcast examines the film's making.

The hosts of the podcast are Charles Hood and Drew Taylor. Hood is an independent filmmaker and screenwriter. He has spent the last several years directing episodes of television as well. He is the director of two feature films, Freezer Burn and Night Owls.

Taylor is an entertainment journalist with over a decade of experience. For the last several years, he has been a reporter for The Wrap. That publication covers the Hollywood film industry, focusing on business-related stories.

A notable aspect of Light The Fuse is its creators. The podcast is an official production of Paramount Pictures. As the film's distributors, listeners will have premier access. The first episode of the podcast was at the film's premiere. It has interviews with star Tom Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie.

An episode that should be of particular note to fans of the series is a two-part interview with Henry Czerny. In the original film, Czerny played Eugene Kittridge, Ethan Hunt's superior officer. Dead Reckoning marks his return to the series after 25 years. Many longtime fans expressed excitement upon learning that Czerny was returning once again.

Light The Fuse contains interviews with several of the film's actors. These include mainstays like Simon Pegg as well as newcomers such as Haley Atwell. Composer Lorne Balfe is also a guest on the podcast.

New episodes of Light The Fuse - The Official Mission: Impossible Podcast air weekly. They are available to listeners each Tuesday. It is unknown how long the series will run for as of this time.
