S3E5: The Great Spy Chase
🕑 Added 2023-10-26 11:32:10 +0000 UTCWhen an eccentric European aristocrat dies, his wife stands to inherit his collection of weapons patents. All the great powers of the world send their finest James Bond to attempt to claim them. How could this be anything other than great?
This one is a hugely enjoyable movie thats inexplicably horribly racist right in the middle. Like a wonderful lindt chocolate liqueur filled with piss.

URGENT APPEAL FOR AID FOR PALESTINE
SAG-AFTRA are still on strike and their donation links can be found in the description of the previous episode. However, right now there's only one link to provide. https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate
What needs to happen in occupied Palestine cannot be accomplished with donations alone. The UN and entire international community must step in and hold Israel accountable for its ongoing genocide and relentless war crimes against the Palestinian people. Join a solidarity protest as soon as you can

I love the idea that, similar to Netflix accidentally and briefly putting the Babadook in the LGBTQ+ section, some record shop in 1960s France accidentally put a funk album in the Soviet section (I assume that used to be a section that record shops had in the '60s) and so it became a meme that the USSR is a super funky place. Maybe that's why Boney M did Rasputin and that song was a call-back to a decade old French meme? lol

"He has the ability, as a cantrip, to summon infinity Asians" nearly had me bursting out laughing loudly at work with zero desire to explain why.

Listening to this in 2024 when it was revealed that Amouranth was being abused and forced to stream by her boyfriend/husband

O yeah the beard thing. I know this because it comes up in the first Asterix and Obelix comicbook. It is that you get a point for every beard you are the first of the competitors to see.

You must forgive this rather odd mixture of actors, but I refuse to cast entirely Japaneeeeeeese

The conformist is one of the greatest films ever made, so hyped for you all to watch it :)

The 15-30-40 for counting beards does seem to be a reference to the French system of counting points in tennis, based on the face of a clock. Quinze is the first point, trente is the second point, and quarante is the third point because saying quarante-cinq is too inconvenient

millennials are killing the castle industry

As for castles and their expensiveness; I believe Nic Cage bought a castle. It became a massive expense and made him bankrupt.
