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!

We finally found it: a movie so horny that three trans people wasn't enough to properly discuss it. So we called in friend of the show and all three hosts of the show, Mattie Lubchansky! The film is Zorro, by the way. The 1998 antonio banderas one where a shirtless anthony hopkins whips out the flames of a candelabra and Devon has heart palpitations.

The Bourne Legacy is a perfect case study for what happens when a series is getting tired, so you bring in a new guy to breathe new life into it- and it really works! until the final half hour, where it's heroic attempt to reach out of the pile of slop, like Sandman in Spider Man 3 attempting to impose order on his constituent parts through sheer force of will, eventually fails and it collapses back into formless, meaningless Bourne-slop.

Alright look, I did an Abi on this one. I swear to god i remembered this one being okay. Instead, enjoy a slow descent into rat madness at the hands of Aardman's first (I havent checked if this is true) foray into a full CGI movie. It's about the great replacement.
