The Spy-Fi Guys
Meet The Spy-Fi Guys, Christian and Zach. Spy-Fi is short for Spy Fiction, but we cover spy fact, spy fiction, and everything in between. Join us every episode as we analyze our favorite moments and then take you behind the scenes for the stories behind the celluloid.
Episodes
A movie event 30 years in the making! Yes, it's the final (for now) Mission: Impossible movie starring Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, and Hayley Atwell among many other familiar faces. With the impossibly long running franchise coming to a conclusion, do they manage to stick the landing like Ethan Hunt does in all of his stunts?

...James Bond returns to the video game world after more than 10 years (not counting that Cyper 007 mobile game), and The Spy-Fi Guys are back to take a look at the first announcement trailer! The guys discuss the look of the game, the new Bond actor, and what they hope for from the game. Whether or not they will actually have the time or right game systems to play the game is another quest...
Ever wonder how the game "Tetris" came to be? Yes, the one with the falling blocks? Did you know it involved spying? Join the Spy-Fi Guys as they follow Henk Rogers (Taron Edgerton) and a band of misfits as they gallavant around the globe dodging the KGB and arguing over contracts in this Apple TV original.

It's the most divisive Spy-Fi Guys yet as both the characters and the hosts have very different perspectives on similar things. Yes, it's 2002's "I Spy," clearly a product of the early 21st century, starring Owen Wilson as a secret agent and Eddie Murphy as a boxer turned spy. Will they get along and save the day in the process? What do you think?

Never heard of 2012's "Shadow Dancer," starring Clive Owen and Gillian Anderson? Neither had the Spy-Fi Guys, but they found it still worth checking out. In Northern Ireland 1993, a single mother plays both sides of the IRA-British conflict in order to stay alive and protect her son. Currently streaming on Amazon Prime.

Coming straight from the world of "Star Trek: Discovery," it's the long awaited (or dreaded) Section 31 movie starring Michelle Yeoh. The entire Internet has been dunking on this movie for the past two weeks, and now it's the Spy-Fi Guys' turn! The movie is streaming on Paramount Plus.

It feels like a made for TV movie, but it isn't. It's the Fourth Protocol, starring Pierce Brosnan and Michael Caine as spy versus spy with a homemade atomic bomb up for grabs. Does Pierce expand his acting range? Not especially, but he's a great bad guy. Guest starring Chris aka British Bond Addict.

It's back to Midway Island with the remake of the World War II classic, or as Christian calls it "Pearl Harbor 2.5." With this new installment, audiences can thrill to the Pearl Harbor attack (again) and the Doolitte Raid (again) the Battle of Midway (again). The CGI is as rough as the Pacific Ocean, but the characters have heart. Guest starring ZJ.

Possibly the greatest, most iconic James Bond movie of all time, it's Goldfinger starring Sean Connery, Gert Frobe and Honor Blackman! This film has excellent villains, a killer theme song, and an engaging story only marred by some dated portrayals of women. Guest starring Andrew Hammond of the International Spy Museum:

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 starring ...
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.

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.

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 all star...
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 to be ...
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 follow t...
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.

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.

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.

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 the t...
A few months early, the Spy-Fi Guys discuss one of many "too soon" movies about an American national tragedy. This one is Patriots Day, starring Mark Wahlberg as a fictional police officer who is involved with every aspect of the Boston Bombing and the search for the marathon bombers. Despite not getting much positive attention at the time, the movie is surprisingly good for those who ca...
