In an accidentally topical turn of events this week the boys are covering Argo, based somewhat on a 2007 article from Wired titled "The Great Escape: How the CIA Used a Fake Sci-Fi Flick to Rescue Americans from Tehran" but mostly just a dramatic retelling of events that occurred during the 1979 Iranian Hostage Crisis. It may not really be a book that's being adapted but we manage to get into the weeds anyhow, mostly on the subject of whether the movie would have still been exciting if it was at all accurate. (NOTE: contrary to any claims made in this episode we know VERY LITTLE about Middle Eastern politics.)
