This is it guys, with the conclusion of the Jason Bourne Miniseries we are truly at the end of KJB Season 1. It's been an incredible journey, from nothing to the apple podcasts #1 film review podcast in the UK, to over a million downloads within a year is an insane pace and we're so truly grateful for you for coming with us on this adventure.

Clipping Abi saying "That's not true, you've got gundams!" in that warm, encouraging voice to listen to whenever I'm feeling sad

I do, in fact, know his name (Jason Bourne)

You could just call it the SHCUM system to fit homophobia in, claim it’s a tribute to Sean Connery

DEFCON 20 in 2012. Only time I've been. Less than a year before Snowden confirmed the NSA deliberately backdoored Dual_EC_DRBG. Keynote by the director who oversaw that whole fiasco.

I need a tshirt that says "do not internalise the panopticon" so that I remember not to internalise the panopticon.

I'd absolutely love to see the Mission Impossible franchise sprinkled in to Season 2 - they might actually be a little too bland to be the main topic, but especially the newer ones have some phenomenal action scenes, and it's always fun to talk about Tom Cruise.

Have you seen the made for tv Bourne Identity starting Richard Chamberlain and Jaclyn Smith, late 80s early 90s I want to say
The CIA director/DEFCON thing may seem implausible, but defcon did at some point manage to have the NSA director give the keynote

For an interesting take on masculinity you could look at the Tora-san series of movies

The "it's Jason Bourne" line is still less annoying than every single British actor quizzically saying "Harry POTTER?!"

I've said it before but I think the Transformers franchise has a lot to say about the US military complex, masculinity, and ridiculous levels of cultural insensitivity all wrapped up in a very explodey package. And it brings the "why are these cars being sexual" themes back from Cars 2 and Planes 2.
