The film follows a woman trying to find meaning for herself after the death of her son, and the episode of KJB is of a distinctly Hedwig style.

It's the final 60s UNCLE, and it's a fitting send-off. Solo goes on a peyote vision quest, Ilya babysits a wannabe protagonist, and "Waverly is fucking dying. A rogue UNCLE agent has created a secret society based in the LAX Airport Terminal in a desert in the middle of the Himalayas, and he's planning to stop all wars by unleashing the most powerful gas we've ever faced... ------ Consider supporting us on our reasonably-priced patreon! https://www.patreon.com/killjamesbond ------ *WEB DESIGN ALERT*  Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

Abi's away on business (Dome), so it's up to just Alice and Devon to talk about the 2011 Indonesian action film 'The Raid'. A team of cops descend upon a tower block to kill the crime lord on the top floor. All that stands in their way? A million extremely damp guys who all know the martial art Pencak Silat. But we can't handle Dudes Rocking of this calibre alone, so we're joined by the wonderful Ben McLeay, host of the podcast Boonta Vista, Co-founder of the Two Bit Movie Club, and inventor of BORLFF! ------ THE WINTER OF CONTENT: THE FINAL MONTH If you do feel you have money to spare, please consider supporting your local food banks with money or time! donate to the Trussell Trust here: https://www.trusselltrust.org/make-a-donation/ or the Independent food aid network here: https://www.foodaidnetwork.org.uk/donate Additionally, please consider joining a renter's union like ACORN, as rising mortgage rates will surely result in rising rent, here: https://www.acorntheunion.org.uk/join ------ Consider supporting us on our reasonably-priced patreon! https://www.patreon.com/killjamesbond ------ *WEB DESIGN ALERT*  Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

As the Winter of Content comes to a close, we tackle the Wachowski Sisters' 2008 film adaptation of the 1960s anime Mach Gogogo! Recieved badly upon its' initial release, the film has since seen a renaissance and a critical reappraisal as a musing on art, artists, cycles of trauma, and what it truly means to create art under a capitalist system. It's also a movie about racing cars SO fast ------ THE WINTER OF CONTENT: THE FINAL MONTH If you do feel you have money to spare, please consider supporting your local food banks with money or time! donate to the Trussell Trust here: https://www.trusselltrust.org/make-a-donation/ or the Independent food aid network here: https://www.foodaidnetwork.org.uk/donate Additionally, please consider joining a renter's union like ACORN, as rising mortgage rates will surely result in rising rent, here: https://www.acorntheunion.org.uk/join ------ Consider supporting us on our reasonably-priced patreon! https://www.patreon.com/killjamesbond ------ *WEB DESIGN ALERT* Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

This week we're joined by Komodo Dad from War_Takes to discuss the classic 1992 Legal Thriller that features Jack Nicholson yelling 'YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!'.

It's time for yet more UNCLE! This week we meet not one, but TWO Bond Villains as they get their various pussy-getting problems solved by Ilya and Solo. Finding it difficult to describe this one, honestly. It's like three consecutive episodes of a Samurai show but where the only problem he solves is that someone isn't getting enough pussy. ------ THE WINTER OF CONTENT If you do feel you have money to spare, please consider supporting your local food banks with money or time! donate to the Trussell Trust here: https://www.trusselltrust.org/make-a-donation/ or the Independent food aid network here: https://www.foodaidnetwork.org.uk/donate Additionally, please consider joining a renter's union like ACORN, as rising mortgage rates will surely result in rising rent, here: https://www.acorntheunion.org.uk/join ------ Consider supporting us on our reasonably-priced patreon! https://www.patreon.com/killjamesbond ------ *WEB DESIGN ALERT*  Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

Gentlemen, Ladies, whatever else: It's time to finally return to Old Man Connery. This week, we're joined by Dr Arthur Asseraf, Lecturer in the history of France and the Francophone World at the University of Cambridge. Dr Asseraf is a historian of North Africa, France, and the Mediterranean, which makes him perfectly suited to explain to us the terrible movie 'The Wind and The Lion', a vaguely true story about the time a Moroccan Sharif kidnapped an American guy in 1904 (Except in this version the Sharif is Sean Connery doing absolutely zero accent work, and the American is a stacked 10/10 baddie instead) ------ THE WINTER OF CONTENT If you do feel you have money to spare, please consider supporting your local food banks with money or time! donate to the Trussell Trust here: https://www.trusselltrust.org/make-a-donation/ or the Independent food aid network here: https://www.foodaidnetwork.org.uk/donate Additionally, please consider joining a renter's union like ACORN, as rising mortgage rates will surely result in rising rent, here: https://www.acorntheunion.org.uk/join ------ Consider supporting us on our reasonably-priced patreon! https://www.patreon.com/killjamesbond ------ *WEB DESIGN ALERT*  Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).
