Kill James Bond!

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).

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.

This is a bonus episode originally released on Sept. 12 2021, unlocked to kick off our Jack Ryan series! - - - Alright, you know it, we know it. We need to pay tribute to our dear Old Man Connery and see off the Cold War in the form of watching an actual good movie, the Hunt for Red October. Join us as we discuss Tim Curry's russian accent, a criminally young Alec Baldwin, and at the end, the reason the end of the cold war felt like the end of history at the time, and some musings on how modern wars never get movies where they are treated with the same reverence that the Cold War did. We got our wonderful producer Nate on this one, you can find him on twitter at https://www.twitter.com/inthesedeserts and follow his podcast Hell of a Way to Die, a leftist millitary podcast by and for veterans at https://www.twitter.com/hellofaway *WEB DESIGN ALERT* Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

What if you could defeat the CIA by carjacking a hot enough woman? What if you read enough books that you stumbled upon something important? Three Days of the Condor is a movie that asks and answers all of these questions, and we have brought on our producer and true 4th mic, Nate Bethea, to discuss it. I think it provides a really interesting counterexample to the Bourne Identity. This is on Netflix and I genuinely recommend you watch it for a taste of shitty 1970s New York and Robert Redford dressing like a fucking don in every scene.

Long-time listeners may recall that for S1E3.5 we talked about 'OSS 117: Cairo, nest of spies'. Well with Abigail jetting off to Vidcon we have taken the time to invite along dear friend of the show Mattie Lubchansky to talk about its' sequel!  This is a movie that comes SO fuckin close to being one we can unreservedly recommend, but sadly it fails Hebdo's Gambit a few too many times.

Further to the theme of last episode's taught depiction of actual spy work, today we're taking a look at the dramatisation of the true story of Robert Hanssen, an FBI agent who spent decades spying for the USSR, and later Russia.  This is a well-acted, high stakes retelling that somewhat unfortunately was unwatchable for Abi, due to the protagonist being the spitting image of her childhood friend 'Paedo John'.

Mark Strong, renowned for his versatile roles in film and television, joins the discussion to delve into 'Syriana.' The conversation highlights the film's authentic portrayal of spy work and its exploration of Western intervention. They dissect complex character dynamics, ethical dilemmas, and the intersection of family ties with geopolitical tensions. Strong's insights on identity and corruption bring depth to the analysis, as they humorously navigate the film's dark themes and cultural critiques. A thought-provoking start to a new season!
