We’re adding a low budget B-movie to our collection of spy stories this time. This made-for-tv production is admirable for how high it aims in terms of futurism, but falls flat in terms of tradecraft. Director Colin Budds explains how he tried to thread the needle between an ambitious script and a restrictive budget and time frame in a special Bonus interview HERE.
At the time of recording, the only place to watch the film Max Knight Ultra Spy is here.
Our next topic will be the TV series The Recruit, Season One. A semi-comedic look at the CIA as a nest of office intrigue where everyone’s #1 job is to cover their ass.Available to watch for free on YouTube here.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
