Midway (1976) guest starring ZJ

Oct 17 2024 82 mins  
The Spy-Fi Guys return to the world of military intelligence with "Midway," a movie appropriately enough about the Battle of Midway early in World War II. Charlton Heston is a fighter pilot/intelligence chief with a son who wants to marry a Japanese-American woman. Despite this interesting plot turn, the movie tends to focus on the battle itself and not so much the drama. Guest sta

Global James Bond Day Special: Moonraker guest starring Kan

Oct 05 2024 110 mins  
It's Global James Bond Day again, October 5th, and to celebrate Christian invites his best friend on to talk space shuttle engineering and NASA history, while Zach struggles to remember one of the goofier entries in the long running 007 franchise. This movie is notable for the return of Jaws, a classic Bond girl with a suggestive name, and a pigeon double taking. Guest starring Kan

The Rock guest starring Lance

Sep 19 2024 105 mins  
It's back to the 1990s this time with The Spy-Fi Guys. Although "The Rock" starring Nicolas Cage and Sean Connery as James Bond(?) and directed by Michael Bay is thought of as more an action movie rather than a spy movie, there is decidedly more spy fiction, if not spy fact, than one would expect. Guest starring Lance. You can find the Spy-Fi Guys at the following social media link

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

Aug 15 2024 55 mins  
It's a cult classic starring Sam Rockwell as Chuck Barris, the creator of other classic game shows like "The Dating Game," "The Newlywed Game," and "The Gong Show." George Clooney directed the biopic of his life in which he battles mental illness while creating hit TV programs and moonlighting as CIA assassin. Okay, that last part isn't actually true. But the movie, featuring an al

Spy Game

Jul 18 2024 67 mins  
It's a combination of two Hollywood pretty boys in 2001's "Spy Game," a movie that feels incredibly post-9/11 without actually being one. Robert Redford mentor's Brad Pitt while dodging CIA executives in a tense time traveling thriller that takes our heroes from 1960s Berlin to 1980s Beirut and beyond. There's even an international incident with China tacked on at the end. Not one

"The Molly Maguires"

Jun 20 2024 55 mins  
Things get weird on the Spy-Fi Guys this week with 1970's "The Molly Maguires" starring Richard Harris and (once again) Sean Connery. In 1876 Pennsylvania, hard working Irish immigrants are oppressed by discriminatory government officials and robber baron mineowners. When a member of the Pinkerton Agency is sent to infiltrate a secret society known as the Molly Maguires, will he fo

"Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" guest starring Lance

May 23 2024 82 mins  
Recurring guest star Lance is back with "Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit" starring Chris Pine as the beloved analyst and Keira Knightley as Cathy. This movie is the red headed stepchild of the Jack Ryan series, not nearly as beloved as the Harrison Ford movies or the new show on Amazon Prime. But how bad can it really be? Guest starring Lance.

DEAD DROP: "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare"

Apr 25 2024 36 mins  
Coming hot off the heels of their first live performance (of such), Zach and Christian talk "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare," a new World War II action movie starring Henry Cavill and directed by Guy Ritchie. Brand new in theaters, how does it stack up against other old school action movies of the past? Tune in to find out. You can find the Spy-Fi Guys at the following socia

"A Bridge Too Far" guest starring ZJ

Apr 18 2024 70 mins  
It's a Sean Connery double feature as the Spy-Fi Guys check out 1977's "A Bridge Too Far," also starring a bunch of famous actors like Gene Hackman, Anthony Hopkins, James Caan, and Biggs from Star Wars. The Allies perform a high risk operation to try and end World War II early, only to be both aided and hindered by spying and military intelligence shenanigans. Guest starring ZJ. Y

"From Russia With Love"

Mar 28 2024 77 mins  
The favorite of John F. Kennedy, Daniel Craig and many James Bond fans, 007 is back in his second film, "From Russia With Love" starring Sean Connery. Zach barely remembers seeing it for the first time and Christian is curious to see if it will hold up so many decades later. Christian also read the book, so be sure to stay tuned until the end to hear some of the differences between
