Kill James Bond enters into another long-term beef with a named person, as we return.... to Jack Ryan.

This time, retired CIA analyst Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford) faces off against a rogue element of the IRA, after getting himself embroiled in an assassination attempt against a royal when on holiday in London. Irish Sean Bean swears revenge against him for killing his little brother, and hunts him down across America.

the American release for this nearly had the tagline 'there has never been a terrorist attack on American soil', which they got rid of because it seemed like too much of a challenge.

Righteous Lazarus (Four Days Dead)

im relistening and this just makes me think that you should watch the 2nd and 3rd indiana jones films on the bonus feed during S3 bc they're sort of heisty and the 3rd one has old man connery in it (i would also suggest Raiders but i know The Rules.)

Felicity Hall

I have just looked up the next bonus on Wikipedia I could not possibly be more hyped for this

I'm detecting "films that almost predicted 9/11" as a subtheme of this podcast.

"Harry, have you been checking my goblet of dumps?" Dumble O'Dore asked calmly.

Brian Taulbee

I’d propose the Order of the Condor, for characters who heroically refuse to explain anything to people they are ordering around.

Alice: “he (Alec Baldwin) really dodged a bullet on this movie” Unfortunately not everyone has dodged Alec Baldwin’s bullets on a movie. Sorry

James Taylor

Richard Harris do be Irish though

Brian Danger Hicks

This one merely predicted the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing the year after it came out.

Sean Bean can be Shawn Bawn or Sheen Been. He can't be both.

"Queer and Present Stranger"

Jacob Vardy

Not knowing London well I checked the book dealers train trip. Google has him doing multiple concentric circles around London for three hours.

Calvin H Frey

I think you meant him screaming at God in the 1981 Bo Derek/Miles O'Keefe Tarzan movie

Bulder

Legitimately excited for the bonus episode. The entire franchise is utterly and deeply Facinating™️

Slugnoid

um. it's called spycraft

Donald

Never before have the English inflicted such suffering on the Irish people

The Pod is Coming From Inside the Cast!

There's a podcast called Unclear and Present Danger which looks at movies set in the post-Cold War era where America is desperately looking for new boogeymen to put in their movies. They cover the Jack Ryan stuff and other movies from that time period so if you're enjoying this stuff you'd probably like that podcast also.

Thank you Dev, I am in fact Looking Forward To That and will be Tuning In after seething with rage on the first occasion Abi promised it and it was then waylaid.

L. A. Jensen

A few seconds in and CANCELED. CANCELLING YOU.

Ivy Nova

Can't wait for True Lies to finally cross the KJB desk

Devon: "American audiences are idiot dipshits who never understand anything". Me: "Hey, I resemble that remark!"

FBH

Why did Clancy want his name off of it?

Zimmerman

Richard Harris was not only Irish, he was a vocal supporter of the PIRA

Alfred Lang

Took me a while to realise that this is the same story that Bill Bailey mentioned when he did a stand-up bit about Tom Clancy and the "Completely bonkers, only two of them are left IRA" book. No Queen Mother with a bazooka in the adaptation unfortunately.

Ben Schwabe

Next bonus episode should be D.E.B.S.

Heads up, I don't think the RSS Link for the Patreon-exclusive podcast is updating properly, the last episode on there is Bourne from the 30th of March.

Hyosho

do this then the k-stew charlies angels

Bear

You’ve probably gotten this suggestion before, and I know you’re reluctant to watch good movies because they make for less interesting commentary, BUT: please consider watching Master and Commander for the pod
