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.

An epic film spanning twenty years and three countries, Dhurandhar is the story of an Indian spy sent to infiltrate the Pakistani underworld. His mission? Destroy the terrorist infrastructure responsible for some of the worst terrorist attacks in history. Banned in Pakistan, it has gone on to become one of highest-grossing Hindi film of all time. Not one to be missed, if you can handle the violence. Guest starring Guru.

In this episode, Christian and Zach debate who is the greater Star Wars fan and travel back in time to the distant past of 2016 with "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story." From CGI Tarkins to questionable main characters, this Disney Star Wars creation had people talking at the time and ever since.

After "The Great Escape" last time Zach brings us tales from "Sons and Soldiers: The Untold Story of the Jews Who Escaped the Nazis and Returned with the US Army to Fight Hitler" by Bruce Henderson. The book follows German born Jews who led their home country only to become interrogators and intelligence offers in the European Theater, finding terrors of war but funny stories as well.

It's an all time World War II classic, "The Great Escape" stars Steve McQueen, Ilya from Man from UNCLE, Flint, and many other actors as POWs trying to escape an escape-proof Nazi prison. The bright visuals and peppy music hide a darker undertone. Part 2 of 2.

Just in time for Valentine's Day, the Spy-Fi Guys get romantic with "This Means War," a 2012 romantic comedy about two spies (Tom Hardy and Chris Pine) fighting for the affections of an unwitting woman (Reese Witherspoon), violating all professional ethics and friendships in the process. Did we mention it's from 2012?

Sean Bean stars in "Bravo Two Zero" a BBC original movie (and boy, you can tell) about a team of SAS soldiers who infiltrate behind enemy lines in the Gulf War, also known as the Iraq War I, also known as Desert Storm. The mission goes off the rails quickly but there's lots of good action and dialogue.

The Spy-Fi Guys' first Hallmark movie exceeded their expectations with clever writing and twists they didn't see coming, even if everything else is exactly what you'd expect from a Hallmark movie. Risk averse librarian Whitney falls in with a Christmas-averse FBI Agent Josh Dawson to find love and foil bad guys.

The overpromising but well executed "Smoke & Mirrors" also known as "El hombre de las mil caras" is not about smoke, or mirrors, or men with a thousand faces. It does have an interesting story with some new things to learn, though it's all in Spanish so not for the subtitle-averse.

Our first ever live recording, from Once Upon A Con in National Harbor. Zach is out, but we have past guest Carolyn to cover our first comic book, Cinderella: From Fabletown With Love, a spin-off spy comic from the world of Fables. Does this comic from the 2010s hold up, particularly if you've never read the main Fables comic? Listen in for more.

The Spy-Fi Guys celebrate Global James Bond Day with one of the better regarded Sean Connery outings: Thunderball from 1965. The primary source for Austin Powers' parodies, in this one SPECTRE blackmails the world with stolen nuclear weapons while 007 faces off against eyepatch-wearing Largo. This is also the one with the underwater fight scenes. Guest starring Jacob aka the Capitol Merman

If you're feeling tricked, that's a good start. This time around the Spy-Fi Guys are entering the world of Goldeneye, and not the good one. This one is a TV movie from 1989 starring Charles Dance (aka Tywin Lannister) as the author Ian Fleming, the writer of the James Bond novels and sort-of-spy himself. With that intriguing start, does the movie have what it takes to bring this larger than life character to life?

The Spy-Fi Guys return to reality game shows with the second season of "007: Road To A Million." The format has been changed up a bit, with now eight pairs directly competing in Bond-inspired challenges for the chance to win a million pounds. The producers seemingly listened to our issues with season one and made some efforts to bring more Bond into this game show, but is that enough to draw our hosts in, as well as get enough view...
We have our second ever author interview, this time with past guest Dexter Ingram, talking about his first book, "The Spy Archive: Hidden Lives, Secret Missions, and the History of Espionage." We talk through his inspiration for the book, research process, and what all of our favorite parts were. All proceeds from his book go to support IN Network, a nonprofit whose mission to inspire young people of all backgrounds to have careers...
Yes, it's the one of the least talked about James Bond movies, possibly due to the name. Roger Moore's second to last outing, wherein 007 takes a trip to India and then East and West Germany for some fights, flights, and nights (with women). This 1983 picture is definitely a product of its time but there's still a lot to say about it. Listen in for more.

Straight out of South Korea it's Operation Chromite, starring Liam Neeson and Lee Jung-jae (aka the guy from "Squid Game") as a South Korea spy infiltrated into occupied Incheon to pave the way for a surprise Allied invasion that can turn the tide of the Korean War. Hilarious dubbed dialogue is just a bonus in this action filled exciting romp.

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 question altogether.

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?
