Kill James Bond!

A few months ago we held a poll to decide on our 5mil celebration episode, and the winner was Master and Commander. A close runner up and fan favourite was this, a classic punchline movie. Lmao it's Sean Connery dressed wierd hahaha. But what if I told you, it fucking ruled actually. This episode was held behind the iron paywall for three months, until we needed it most. Until hoarse voices cried...

After watching Beowulf, we decided to take a look at another recent film about the Vikings. A film lauded as an extremely accurate depiction of a 80-IQ ripped guy eating shit constantly in service of righting a wrong that was already righted while he wasn't paying attention. Is it fascist? Maybe. Maybe it's good though, ever thought of that? ----- FREE PALESTINE Hey, Devon here. Give money to peop...

In a rare turn of events, we encounter an actually good movie—not just a good Eurospy movie, but just a flat-out banger of a movie—very late in the season and after we've become expert witnesses on just how bad and formulaic pretty much every Eurospy movie is. That's right, we're reviewing the 1966 film THE QUILLER MEMORANDUM featuring some cast you might have heard of, such as: Alec Guiness, Max...

This week: We're fucking back to fucking eurospy you mother fuckers. Our Duty is ironclad, our Will steadfast, our Vision clear... And we're using this to derive a perfect forumla for a Eurospy movie. The names change but the roles remain the same every time. 009? M? Bond? The 'our man in [location]', the local guide, The first woman, The second woman, SPECTRE, the Boat that gets blown up... All h...

Okay okay okay, how about a fun one. I know the Card Counter and To The Bone were heavy, and you've all been so good. With the state of the world as it is, maybe we just need to watch a 1997 comedy about two best friends who want to impress their small-town high school. ------ FREE PALESTINE Hey, Devon here.

They made a second one. I don't know how to tell you this, but they did a second Charlie's Angels in 2003. How will this series about fun and cool women spies who are friends and love each other deal with making a sequel in the aftermath of the terrorist attack that shook the west? How will the early 2000s make itself felt? This, recorded live at the  Streatham Space Project on International Women...

We've talked a lot about Men, in our time. But what if there were a fairer sex? What if the year was 2000, the cold war was won, history was over, 9/11 was never going to happen, and it was finally time to start thinking about whether Women could be in movies.

It's time for another Eurospy spoof. This movie, based on the 'Modesty Blaise' comics by Peter O'Donnell, was written and directed by Joseph Losey to be 'A pop-art inspired spoof, with over-the-top set design, """Avante-garde editing""", and deliberate continuity problems'. It was nominated for a Palme d'Or at Cannes. He made a bad movie on purpose, as a joke. We have differing opinions on if he m...
