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.

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.

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.

Let’s get choked by a slowly moving latex bubble! Helga and Jo dive into the 1967 TV series The Prisoner, its charming old-fashioned quirks and continued relevance. We are extremely on our bullshit.
