Kill James Bond!

Paul Schrader's directorial debut, Blue Collar explores three american auto workers' attempt to solve their problems by robbing their union office. Starring Richard Pryor 'playing straight', the entire movie is worth it for one spectacularly haunting scene.

Holding the rare accolade of being one of the only movies ever made based on a song, Convoy is a tale of an emergent revolution; a small act of police corruption leads to a breakout of violence at a truck stop, and the fleeing truckers attract more and more attention during their journey south.

But, as the Convoy captures the imagination and hearts of the american people, politicians and the media plot to coopt and defang their message, whatever it might be.

This week on the Kill James Bond Podcast, we return to the Brains Dojo.
The Irishman is Martin Scorsese's sprawling adaptation of I Heard You Paint Houses, a 2004 book detailing the trueish story of Frank Sheeran, a mob hitman who was potentially the guy who killed Jimmy Hoffa.

Set during the long tail of the 20th century, The Irishman conceives of all modern American history as one immense unfolding crime spree committed by backstabbing, self-interested morons.

And hey, is that so inaccurate?

It's the penultimate Fast and Furious, and wouldn't you believe it but we've arrived at total context collapse.

Nothing that we've seen before actually happened the way we thought.

Nobody actually did anything.
