S2E3.5: Three Days of the Condor
🕑 Added 2022-07-12 23:25:51 +0000 UTCThis week, what if there was a man who dressed so fly that the CIA wanted him dead? 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.
We got our wonderful producer Nate on this one, you can find him on twitter at

The sad part is that this film doesn’t even have the most bafflingly awful sex scene in the 70s paranoid thriller genre </3

I genuinely just want to say that I fully subscribed to your Patreon because I was going through your backlog in prep for a long plane ride and saw you did a bonus episode on this film <3
I fell asleep listening to this episode last night and dreamt that due to a logistical error I ended up sharing an Airbnb with the KJB team. We watched this movie together and they commented, and any time I tried to comment Ms Thorne reminded me that I was having a parasocial dream and we were not friends in real life 😂
how are you going to mention Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy like that without it on the docket
