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.2 – Coachella in a Town Hall (Dance of the Dead)

Espionage! Intrigue! Mystery! We look at the second episode of The Prisoner, featuring a lot of deep words that end up meaning "Women, am I right?". Do not ask Helga what time it was when she finished editing this podcast. Jo | Helga Watching: The Prisoner (1967): "Dance of the Dead" Up next: The Prisoner (1967): "Checkmate"

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.
