2:12 AM: going back for more US Military courtroom drama
A decorated Vietnam war veteran orders his squad to fire on an unarmed crowd of protestors outside the US embassy to Yemen. But what if it was cool and fine for him to do it? Tommy Lee Jones will stop at nothing to prove that the crowd had weapons also and that every arab is part of a vast anti-american conspiracy to make Our Boys f...

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 opinion...

Alright, thats quite enough vaguely muddling through the depths of Eurospy. Going forward, it's Bangers Only- and kicking that off is That Man in Istanbul, or as it will come to be known, the Ballad of Tony Mercedes.
But we simply couldn't do it alone. Joining us on this episode is A.J. from 2024-02-01 10:43:12 +0000 UTC View Post
This week, November brings us a movie that means an immense amount to her in another installment of the Cerebral Hour- Jean-Luc Godard's French New Wave masterpiece, Vivre sa vie! A young woman feels her life is not going in the direction she wishes, and tries to take control of it.

This week, we're joined by Alex Ptak from the podcast Quorators to discuss another German spy movie.
Remember a few episodes ago when we realised that the director was an architect of the french new wave? This is the same except we find out that the director invented a new kind of child pornography.

Thats's right, the strike's over. While we're not giving up on Eurospy just yet, this means we're no longer limited on bonus episodes. So what better a time than now to do a film Abi has been wanting to do since the very start of the show- The Edge! A brain god billionaire gets trapped in the alaskan wilderness with a man who wants to kill him. It's all very masculine.
But we couldn't do ...

This one is inexplicably a spy movie funded partially by the City of Vienna for tourism purposes. I say 'inexplicably' because Vienna looks like an absolute heap of shit for the entire movie and I can't imagine this made anyone want to visit.

The Strike may be over, but our commitment to Eurospy is ironclad.
This week, there's another dead Soviet defector, so there must be another microfilm with something important on it floating around europe. Fuck it, lets send our best spy to go have a general look about.

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.
