The Incomparable Mothership

650: The Sum of All Tildas

Listen Later

This week, we’re drafting some spies, secret agents, and con artists. Con artists? Why not?

They all use similar skills—sometimes, it’s impossible to tell the difference. From fiction to
spoof to inspired by real life, we’ve got it all. Also, is that Cate Blanchett or Tilda Swinton?
Good luck, Jim. This episode will self destruct in five seconds.
