Hey, Devon here. For the past few months I've been talking to a family trapped in Gaza, working to cover their daily living costs amidst repeated displacements in the Genocide. Their names are Ahmed and Layla, and their 4 kids are Jana, Malik, Lana and Amir. Anything you can contribute would mean the world to me. They deserve to live. They deserve to survive.https://www.gofundme.com/f/a8jzz-help-me-and-my-family-get-out-of-the-gaza-strip

This is the 1969 sequel to 1967's Deadlier Than The Male. Lloyds insurance agent Bulldog Drummond is pitted once again against Carl Peterson and his army of female agents- except this time, something is very, very wrong with the ladies...

Hey, Devon here. For the past few months I've been talking to a family trapped in Gaza, working to hit their gofundme for passage out of Rafah whenever the crossing reopens. Their names are Ahmed and Layla, and their 4 kids Jana, Malik, Lana and Amir. While the crossing might be closed, the situation is changing by the day and being able to afford passage out when a crossing reopens is an immense comfort. Please don't donate money as your sole intersection with palestine organising. You have to do other things now. https://www.gofundme.com/f/a8jzz-help-me-and-my-family-get-out-of-the-gaza-strip

Alright, after taking a brief vacation to the land of Lazenby, it's time to return to Jack Ryan. This one is a modern reboot from 2014 that is somehow equal parts James Bond, Jason Bourne, and Alex Rider Stormbreaker. A shady Russian capitalist plans to cause 9/11 2. Thats the plot of the movie. ------ THE WINTER OF CONTENT

Lets not beat around the bush here: Alice did not participate in bringing a movie that means a lot to her, instead opting to show us Winter Kills. After an internal disciplinary process, she performed malicious compliance and dropped a transgender emotional nuke on us. So, we watched Hedwig. And we had a lot of thoughts.

Woah, wait a minute- This isn't Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit starring Chris Pine! No. In the time between episodes, our beloved Queen Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II passed away. So, in loving tribute to the queen who birthed all english people like a queen ant does, we watched a movie about her life and times. George Lazenby and Jimmy Wang Yu lead a gang of elite criminals attempting to assassinate the Queen! Can they finish off Er Maj before their nemesis, the character legitimately named Police Inspector Karate Master, tracks them down?

We're just not quite ready to let Harrison Ford go yet, so we move seamlessly from Clear and Present Danger to Air Force One, a roughly contemporaneous movie that could fit very neatly into the Jack Ryan universe, as canonically Jack does become President of the United States, in part for his actions during Clear and Present Danger. I hate knowing so much about these fuckin films. A barely-concealed reaction to the Yugoslavian War, and in particular the Bosnian Genocide, this movie shows the president making a speech in which he promises the US will involve itself at the first sign of humanitarian crisis, rather than waiting for international consensus. This prompts a group of communist revanchists (Led by Gary Oldman) to invade and take control of Air Force One, the president's private plane.

Continuing the trend that Abi started by bringing us Totally Spies last time, we're taking a deep dive in to Alice's favourite childhood film, a movie that really meant a lot to her growing up. And even though it's kind of shit, (It's a 1970s 'comedy' with no discernable jokes, A fun premise that completely falls flat after a catestrophic mishandling, and to cap it all off, a trainwreck of a production process) we stuck with it because, having watched it, we now feel closer to our dear friend Alice.

 

Hold on a moment, I'm being handed a note,
