This week on Operation Kino we're reviewing two of the year's very best action movies, as we tackle both Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol and The Adventures of Tintin. As a result there's no segment three, but we still kick things off with a lightning round dedicated to Chipwrecked's Jason Lee and all the paycheck-seeking actors we also wish would get it together. From there we move on to tidbits, where Da7e is questioning the whole system of putting together top 10 lists, David isn't so sure about the technique of switching between 35 mm and IMAX film in a movie like Mission: Impossible, Patches digs into the theory of the Spielberg Face, and Katey really wants to talk about We Need To Talk About Kevin. We end, as always, with your lightning round answers for dessert.

As you might remember, one of the very first Operation Kino episodes ever-- before we were even called Operation Kino!-- was our top ten movies of 2010, and don't worry, we'll have another Top 10 podcast this year. Next week will be a fairly regular episode, and in that slow week between Christmas and New Year's, we'll all be sleeping off our Christmas cookie comas but the top 10 episode will be going online, so stay tuned for that!
