S3E5: The Great Spy Chase
Thursday Oct 26, 2023
Thursday Oct 26, 2023
When an eccentric European aristocrat dies, his wife stands to inherit his collection of weapons patents. All the great powers of the world send their finest James Bond to attempt to claim them. How could this be anything other than great?
This one is a hugely enjoyable movie thats inexplicably horribly racist right in the middle. Like a wonderful lindt chocolate liqueur filled with piss.

We told Devon to pick any movie in the world to watch, with the only requirement that it not be American. After only two real-time weeks of umming and ahhing they instantly picked Police Story 2!
Jackie Chan has been demoted to traffic cop following his successful completion of the plot of Police Story 1, until he successfully foils a bomb threat- and he's put in charge of the investigation![

S3E4:The Tiger Likes Fresh Blood
Thursday Oct 12, 2023
Thursday Oct 12, 2023
Look, I know what you're thinking, this is just another bad eurospy movie- but this movie was made by Claude Chabrol, one of the directors of the French New Wave, during his middle period. He may have made this movie entirely to keep the lights on, but he clearly used the opportunity to try some things out.
French secret Agent 'The Tiger' is tasked with bodyguarding a Turkish minister's wife and daughter during an arms trade.

This week, further to our Solidarity Position of resolutely pretending America has never made a film, we're checking out a New Zealand production! Will our hearts be warmed by this tale of two misfits on the run, or will Taika Waititi's complete inability to not cast his friends somewhat undercut the movie's condemnation of the racialised abuse endemic to the foster care system?
To help us get to the bottom of this question we've brought on friend of the show Ross Palethorpe, a youth worker and certified Kiwi!

THE MOVIES ARE ON STRIKE!
SAG-AFTRA is on strike for a number of reasons, from pay for streaming residuals, to the rights to own your own appearance, to the right to not have AIs trained off your work.
So if you've got a few spare pennies, why not chip in to help keep movies from becoming Shit Forever.

IATSE workers are struggling at the moment as well, as they can't work during the current strike actions but aren't themselves on strike- the Motion Picture Television Fund is a 501(c)3 charity that provides a range of assistance. https://mptf.com
Additionally, SAG and WGA members started another 501(c)3 charity called The Union Solidarity Coalition - https://tusctogether.com

This week, as if to karmically reward us for weathering Fx-18, the universe rewards us with a perfect Moore-era bond film- except it's french and released in 1964! Join OSS 117 as he travels to Thailand to investigate missing vaccines, and gets drawn into conflict with an evil magus named Dr Sin...

Since our main episodes are so rigidly structured this season, our only condition for bonus episodes is that the films aren't struck. Alice has grabbed the opportunity with both hands to make us watch a film about a lonely italian man who refuses to talk to women.

Alright look, I never said these movies would all be good. I just said it would be interesting. This one... this one wasn't either.
In this heap of hot trash, secret agent Francis Copland is assigned to infiltrate some kind of boat-based smuggling operation.

S3E1: OSS 117 se déchaîne (1963)
Thursday Aug 31, 2023
Thursday Aug 31, 2023
Let me set the scene: It's 1963, the movie 'From Russia With Love' has just released and pre-production on 'Goldfinger' is already taking place. The People are clamoring for international nonces of mystery, and the great film-mills of Europe are only too happy to hard shift from the declining 'sword and sandals' genre into something that will forever be known... as Eurospy.
It's episode one of season 3, the much anticipated 'Season of Solidarity', where we take a look at movies not currently struck by the WGA or SAG-AFTRA and get to get back to our roots of talking about a bad spy movie from the 60s.
On today's docket: OSS 117 is unleashed!

Its the final episode of Season 2, and we decided to watch one more Stallone movie just to say goodbye to the big fella himself- And what better than Demolition Man? We recorded this one at the end of four hours of continuous podcasting and we were all insane and variably inebriated. Enjoy!
