April 29, 2022 03:09 - 31 minutes - 28.4 MBOur first anime! It’s more proof (if you needed it) that we are dedicated to cover anything spy-related. This manga has been a big hit in Japan, and weebs like David have been eagerly anticipating the translation into television. More of a family sitcom than a pure spy thriller, but we will give it a look and discuss the tradecraft of the show. Next week we will start in on Slow Horses, a 6-episode AppleTV offering starring Gary Oldman and Jonathan Pryce. Our next spy MOVIE episod...
Bullet To Beijing (1995)
April 21, 2022 03:33 - 2 hours - 110 MBPalmerfest concludes with our analysis of the return of Michael Caine to the role of the iconic bespectacled secret agent in the 90’s.

Tod and David can only speculate on the reasons why, but speculate we will. Next week, a brief deviation into one of the stranger corners of spy entertainment, a look at the first few e...

Billion Dollar Brain (1967)
March 28, 2022 03:53 - 2 hours - 128 MBProducer Harry Saltzman takes newly-minted superstar Michael Caine back for a third dip into the Harry Palmer well, and the results are not great. In fact, the movie’s performance with audiences and critics are so bad that Caine convinces Saltzman to release him from the planned five movie contract. It’s the tradecraft that we are most interested in though, and Tod and Dave get into it like we always do. Please look forward to our continued week-by-week discussion of the new IPCRESS File...

March 17, 2022 18:51 - 48 minutes - 44.3 MBBritish ITV adaptation of the Len Deighton novel, also famously adapted for film in 1965. This version sticks firmly to its 1960’s roots but makes interesting update choices in other areas. We will continue to discuss each episode of the six-episode miniseries on a weekly basis.

March 10, 2022 12:00 - 42 minutes - 39.2 MBDiscussion of the first episode of this six-episode miniseries. Currently only available to ITV subscribers in Britain.

The IPCRESS File (1965)
February 24, 2022 12:00 - 2 hours - 111 MBIn the immediate frenzy of the James Bond-fueled 1960’s spy craze, it’s very interesting to note that Bond co-producer Harry Saltzman chooses this moment to produce a sort of ‘Anti-Bond’ spy film. Michael Caine brings a ‘working man’s’ subtlety to his portrayal of a spy character that will strongly influence the more realistic spy films that will follow in further decades. A new iteration of this seminal work of spy fiction is just around the corner. March 6th has just been announced as...
