MY SPY: THE ETERNAL CITY is the much-anticipated follow-up to the 2020 action-comedy MY SPY. It reunites a wonderful cast led by Dave Bautista and Chloe Coleman. The movie takes us on a feel-good adventure set in some of Europe’s most storied destinations.

In this episode, Dan and Tom decode this movie, while not revealing any spoilers. The goal is to enhance your viewing experience when you watch this movie.

Good or bad or both? We think this is a good spy movie for some spy movie fans, while some spy movie fans won’t like the lighthearted, comedic feel of MY SPY: THE ETERNAL CITY.

One of our goals is to ensure the right people watch this movie.

Build-A-Bond Constructing the next James Bond

Build-A-Bond – What Does The Next Bond Need to Be?

Dan and Tom look at how to Build-a-Bond. In other words, what are the key elements of Bond over the decades that should go into the best Bond? We will help Eon Productions here as we Build-a-Bond!

What were the positive qualities of James Bond for each of the previous six actors that Eon Productions has cast for the role? What are the qualities that they each brought that we think must be included in the next hire?

James Bond has had a different personality with each actor to play him. Yes, we all know that Sean Connery, with Director Terence Young’s tutelage set the stage. George Lazenby brought a little more rough and tumble. Roger Moore brought more humor. Timothy Dalton turned out the lights and made Bond dark. Pierce Brosnan was cool. And Daniel Craig darkened things up again.

So, we know all that. But there’s much more to it. Dan and Tom dig deeper to find the personality traits that were common to all of the actor’s portrayals. Take a listen to find out what these are.

Finally, what actors do Tom and Dan think are in their Build-a-Bond box?

Tell us what you think

So, did we miss any personas for the next actor to play James Bond? What do you think of our list of persona needs? And, who do you want to see take up the role of Bond, James Bond?

THE HEROES OF TELEMARK – Decoded!

THE HEROES OF TELEMARK – Decoding a movie about real World War II heroes

In this episode, Dan and Tom decode a movie about some real World War II heroes, namely, the movie THE HEROES OF TELEMARK. This movie stars Kirk Douglas, Richard Harris, Ulla Jacobson, and Michael Redgrave. Plus, many supporting actors in this movie have appeared in other spy movies. We call some of those out for you

THE HEROES OF TELEMARK is a dramatization of some real operations from World War II. These operations were:

Operation Grouse
Operation Freshman
Operation Gunnerside
And the sinking of the Norwegian ferry Hydro.

These operations all focused on the Allies' attempts at keeping the Germans from getting “Heavy Water”. Heavy Water was used in the process of creating an atomic bomb. The Allies had to stop or slow down the Germans so that the Allies could create the bomb first.

We decode this movie against the backdrop of the real missions, while diving into what “Heavy Water” is and where it comes from.

Tell us what you think

Have you been involved in atomic bomb development? If so, we’d love to hear your thoughts on the accuracy of this movie’s scientific information.

Have you watched THE HEROES OF TELEMARK? What did you think? Was the romance a negative for your enjoyment of the movie?

So take a listen to hear what we think of THE HEROES OF TELEMARK.
