July 19, 2022 S1E16.5: The Hunt for Red October [UNLOCKED]
This is a bonus episode originally released on Sept. 12 2021, unlocked to kick off our Jack Ryan series!
- - -
Alright, you know it, we know it. We need to pay tribute to our dear Old Man Connery and see off the Cold War in the form of watching an actual good movie, the Hunt for Red October.

Join us as we discuss Tim Curry's russian accent, a criminally young Alec Baldwin, and at the end, the reason the end of the cold war felt like the end of history at the time, and some musings on how modern wars never get movies where they are treated with the same reverence that the Cold War did.
We got our wonderful producer Nate on this one,

July 12, 2022 S2E3.5: Three Days of the Condor [TEASER]

This week, what if there was a man who dressed so fly that the CIA wanted him dead? What if you could defeat the CIA by carjacking a hot enough woman? What if you read enough books that you stumbled upon something important? Three Days of the Condor is a movie that asks and answers all of these questions, and we have brought on our producer and true 4th mic, Nate Bethea, to discuss it.

I think it provides a really interesting counterexample to the Bourne Identity. This is on Netflix and I genuinely recommend you watch it for a taste of shitty 1970s New York and Robert Redford dressing like a fucking don in every scene.

June 28, 2022 S2E2.5: OSS 117: Lost In Rio
Long-time listeners may recall that for S1E3.5 we talked about 'OSS 117: Cairo, nest of spies'. Well with Abigail jetting off to Vidcon we have taken the time to invite along dear friend of the show Mattie Lubchansky to talk about its' sequel!

This is a movie that comes SO fuckin close to being one we can unreservedly recommend, but sadly it fails Hebdo's Gambit a few too many times.

June 21, 2022 S2E2: Breach (2007)
Further to the theme of last episode's taught depiction of actual spy work, today we're taking a look at the dramatisation of the true story of Robert Hanssen, an FBI agent who spent decades spying for the USSR, and later Russia.

This is a well-acted, high stakes retelling that somewhat unfortunately was unwatchable for Abi, due to the protagonist being the spitting image of her childhood friend 'Paedo John'.

June 07, 2022 S2E1: Syriana
It's finally here, after much fanfare and buildup: Season 2 of KJB starts off not with a bang, but with a knowing hmm as we kick off the Cerebral Hour

Syriana is potentially the best depiction of spy work we have covered, and it's serious themes lead us to a very thoughtful and introspective discussion of western intervention- and also Mark Strong is here in what i can only describe as 'Arab Face'

May 18, 2022 Episode 32.5: The Mask of Zorro
We finally found it: a movie so horny that three trans people wasn't enough to properly discuss it. So we called in friend of the show and all three hosts of the show, Mattie Lubchansky!

The film is Zorro, by the way. The 1998 antonio banderas one where a shirtless anthony hopkins whips out the flames of a candelabra and Devon has heart palpitations. Can you tell I'm caring less and less about the copy on these as time goes by?
