Ep.6 – Beans, Pineapples, And Somehow More Beans (Many Happy Returns)

We're talking about the 1960s air milk craze. We're talking about mandatory stealth sections. We're talking about the long shadow of the industrialized meat grinder that we call the Second World War. Not all of those can be comedy segments.

Ep 3.5: Kill And Eat The Beatles (Head, 1968)

We're doing something different this episode! Breaking away from the Prisoner for just a little while and giving you Head(1968), a movie that was contemporaneous with the series and touches on the same themes of reinvention and rebellion, but couldn't have been more different in its presentation.

Ep.1 – Sixty Nine Shipping Moments (Arrival)

We are kicking off the podcast with a bang! Come along with us and discover just how much 1960s spies sucked at spying, how every set in the era resembled Star Trek, and how many tangents about surrealism and counterculture we can fit in an hour-and-change of podcast.
