Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more!
This week, Ryan and Chris dive into three action spy films that all deal with the remnants of the Cold War. We start with James Glickenhaus' kick-ass 1982 exploitation flick "The Soldier," which makes up for its small budget with impressive, wall-to-wall stunts and a scorching Tangerine Dream score. Then, we move into 2014's "The November Man," a disappointing return for Pierce Brosnan into the spy world and a disappointing reunion for him and his "Dante's Peak" director Roger Donaldson. Finally, we move into now two-time Oscar-winner Christopher Nolan's most polarizing film, the 2020 time-bending "Tenet."
