Jordan and Alex explore the surprisingly emotional backstory of the iconic ‘90s spy-spoof franchise and run down the extensive list of influences Mike Myers pulled from — ranging from Bond and the Beatles to astrophysicist Stephen Hawking. They’ll also describe how Dr. Evil caused a rift between Myers and his ‘Wayne’s World’ costar Dana Carvey, explain which beloved scenes were completely improvised, and outline how the series impacted the future of 007. The tragic story of Random Task actor Joe Son is (almost) offset by the touching fan letter Myers received from George Harrison — the last note the Beatle ever wrote before his death in 2001. Buckle up because these guys are going deep — it’s their favorite movie, baby!
