S2E9: Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

Alright, after taking a brief vacation to the land of Lazenby, it's time to return to Jack Ryan. This one is a modern reboot from 2014 that is somehow equal parts James Bond, Jason Bourne, and Alex Rider Stormbreaker. A shady Russian capitalist plans to cause 9/11 2. Thats the plot of the movie. ------ THE WINTER OF CONTENT Owing to the increasing cost of living and general misery of being alive in the UK right now, from next month the bonus episodes will be posted on the free feed until the spring solstice or the collapse of the British state, whichever is earlier.

S2E8.5: Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Find the full episode at our reasonably-priced patreon! https://www.patreon.com/killjamesbond ------ Lets not beat around the bush here: Alice did not participate in bringing a movie that means a lot to her, instead opting to show us Winter Kills. After an internal disciplinary process, she performed malicious compliance and dropped a transgender emotional nuke on us. So, we watched Hedwig. And we had a lot of thoughts. ------ *WEB DESIGN ALERT* Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

S2E8: A Queen’s Ransom

Woah, wait a minute- This isn't Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit starring Chris Pine! No. In the time between episodes, our beloved Queen Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II passed away. So, in loving tribute to the queen who birthed all english people like a queen ant does, we watched a movie about her life and times. George Lazenby and Jimmy Wang Yu lead a gang of elite criminals attempting to assassinate the Queen! Can they finish off Er Maj before their nemesis, the character legitimately named Police Inspector Karate Master, tracks them down?

S2E7: The Sum of All Fears

This movie boldly asks: What if a global neo-nazi cabal used a stolen israeli nuke to glass the city of Baltimore?  What if CIA Analyst Jack Ryan (Slightly too young Ben Affleck) was to try to stop it?    Find bonus episodes at 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).

S2E6: Air Force One

We're just not quite ready to let Harrison Ford go yet, so we move seamlessly from Clear and Present Danger to Air Force One, a roughly contemporaneous movie that could fit very neatly into the Jack Ryan universe, as canonically Jack does become President of the United States, in part for his actions during Clear and Present Danger. I hate knowing so much about these fuckin films. A barely-concealed reaction to the Yugoslavian War, and in particular the Bosnian Genocide, this movie shows the president making a speech in which he promises the US will involve itself at the first sign of humanitarian crisis, rather than waiting for international consensus. This prompts a group of communist revanchists (Led by Gary Oldman) to invade and take control of Air Force One, the president's private plane.

S2E5.5: Winter Kills [TEASER]

Find the full episode at our reasonably-priced patreon! https://www.patreon.com/killjamesbond Continuing the trend that Abi started by bringing us Totally Spies last time, we're taking a deep dive in to Alice's favourite childhood film, a movie that really meant a lot to her growing up. And even though it's kind of shit, (It's a 1970s 'comedy' with no discernable jokes, A fun premise that completely falls flat after a catestrophic mishandling, and to cap it all off, a trainwreck of a production process) we stuck with it because, having watched it, we now feel closer to our dear friend Alice.   Hold on a moment, I'm being handed a note,   *WEB DESIGN ALERT* Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

S2E5: Clear and Present Danger

It's time to keep up the heat on Jack Ryan, and this time Mr Constitution himself is off to Colombia to racistly get himself involved in a bunch of drug smuggling events. Hard to express the lack of respect this movie has to the nation of Colombia, and indeed to the viewer.  Jack Ryan is made Acting Deputy Director of the CIA when his mentor James Earl Jones, here playing the character of America, falls ill. Jack immediately is a naive dipshit and gets himself Embroiled. To discuss events past this point would be a disservice to letting us reveal them during the episode.  Find bonus episodes at 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).

S2E4: Patriot Games

Kill James Bond enters into another long-term beef with a named person, as we return.... to Jack Ryan. This time, retired CIA analyst Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford) faces off against a rogue element of the IRA, after getting himself embroiled in an assassination attempt against a royal when on holiday in London. Irish Sean Bean swears revenge against him for killing his little brother, and hunts him down across America. the American release for this nearly had the tagline 'there has never been a terrorist attack on American soil', which they got rid of because it seemed like too much of a challenge.
