S4E20: Topkapi
🕑 Added 2025-08-08 07:56:06 +0000 UTCA round half a year ago, when our transition from Eurospy to Heist was written in stone, many of our beautiful listeners told us that a perfect film to smooth that boundary would be the 1964 euroheist caper Topkapi. And on this occasion we really need to hand it to you. You were spot on.
This has everything we love: montages of ordinary civilians who 100% did not consent to being filmed; a team with a profoundly polycular bent; and of course, guys we've seen before.

FREE PALESTINE
Hey, Devon here. In our home, we talk a lot about how insane everything feels, and agonise constantly over what can be done to best help the Palestinians trapped in Gaza facing the full brunt of genocidal violence. My partner Rebecca has put together a list of four fundraisers you can contribute to- all of them are at work on the ground doing what they can.
-Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine

-Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla
https://www.waterislifegaza.org/
-Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also

-Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches

God's own 140p and watching from the Lego Dimension are just delightful phrases and I loved hearing them

I do wanna point out that the actor playing Josef is in brown face, he is an American French actor and has no ancestry in or near Turkey

Happened to go on holiday to Bielefeld this year, where August Oetker founded the Dr Oetker factory. His grandson Rudolf-August Oetker was a buddy of Heinrich Himmler and joined the Waffen-SS voluntarily. After the war, he was put on trial but acquitted, and he used the profits from the Dr Oetker factory to found a concert hall named after himself and the now called Kunsthalle, which at the time he named after his stepfather - who was also an ex-nazi.

I'm having a moment at the 43' mark where they're talking about polyamory and I am doggedly convinced they had this identical conversation in a prior episode.

BTW have you ever considered doing Yentl?

I'm going to rent this from Scarecrow Video and rip it for you so people here can watch it with several more pixels

I rewatched Hudson Hawk recently and now desperately need to hear y’all’s opinion on that. Truly a baffling heist film

Guns and gas confiscated, they resorted to writing 'Armenia best country' on a brick and throwing it into a room full of soldiers like a flash bang

I was looking for a way to watch this and apparently I've had an .iso file of it sitting on my NAS device for 14 years; no Adverse Conditions Film Club for me.

I'd love to see yall go over Hudson Hawk (1991) at some point. Bruce Willis heist movie, stealing from a castle, bunch of ring-a-ding Ding ass music in the background, it's fun as hell

We really need to up your content acquisition game - there are much higher quality sources available than shady russian websites. Can I introduce you to our lord and saviour alt.binaries.movies on Usenet?

I'm in the US and the movie is free on youtube for me. A bit easier for me to get to than it was for the KJB crew. https://youtu.be/6OQ0h-ewzNY?si=xvXP0JpsWq_-M4d1

The p320 joke was great
