S3E12: That Man in Istanbul
🕑 Added 2024-02-01 10:43:12 +0000 UTCAlright, thats quite enough vaguely muddling through the depths of Eurospy. Going forward, it's Bangers Only- and kicking that off is That Man in Istanbul, or as it will come to be known, the Ballad of Tony Mercedes.
But we simply couldn't do it alone. Joining us on this episode is A.J. from The Worst of All Possible Worlds!

catching up slowly and inexorably, the running gag for this is great and the henchman who refuses to get casually executed! lmao. It's a shame that after the first few movies (not you fx-18) were pretty enjoyable/worth talking about, eurospy became a lot worse and less interesting! you've made a lot of gold thread out of the straw and found a few gems in it (the theme song for secret agent fireball, the homoerotic scene in passport to hell) but the idea of slogging out all of them, oof. There's too many for that! I do hope at some point you'll run down the list of names of Eurospy movies that didn't make the cut because plenty of them have fun titles at least! Mission Bloody Mary, The Spy In Your Eye, Secret Agent Super Dragon, Kiss Kiss Kill Kill (distinct from Kiss Kiss Bang Bang lol)...

Late to the party but Tony Minestrone was right there!

I will pay so much patreon/nebula money for y'all to actually make KJB's The Ballad of Tony Mnemonic! Like, for real after Dracula's Ex-Girlfriend, please?!?!

I'd love to read/watch Bond Without Bond. https://garfieldminusgarfield.net/

Y'all mentioned in passing the idea of a 007 musical and now I can't stop thinking of Q's doing an upbeat patter song as he shows off all the latest gizmos and gadgets

Really hoping “the Cunty Josh Award for Sartorial Excellence” becomes a thing! Ciao!

Came here straight after listening to The Worst Of All Possible Worlds but I guess AJ wasn't ready to leave my ears...

Fun fact, sour candies can help with panic attacks, or so I've been told after having more than a panic attack per day for two weeks. Just think that could make a fun detail for the stage musical adaptation I assume Nebula is willing to produce.
This is a bit of a strange recommendation, but I genuinely think y'all would get a kick out of watching Robin Hood (2018) for a bonus episode. The opening scene is maybe the most deranged and excellent thing I've ever seen in a movie, and the rest of the movie largely keeps in the same vein
