SPITFIRE

This episode has been commissioned by Cathleen, who told us we could do whatever we wanted, so obviously…it’s Spitfire time. We recap the 1995 straight-to-VHS spy-nastics classic, complete with commentary from special guest, movie star Kristie Phillips!

• Why Spencer thought we actually got sent porn for a second
• Dying of a suitcase?
• How this movie definitely doesn’t know the difference between Russia and Romania
• “Some girls hit back, asshole”
• Expert chalk bucket cocaine sabotage!
• “Five giants into a BRANDY.” Kristie discusses the epic accidental double Kovacs.
• THE LAUNCH CODES ARE ON THE AMERICAN GYMNASTICS TEAM
• A lengthy discussion of time travel and this bonkers competition schedule. It’s so stressful. You’re going to miss Worlds!
• Spying is loudly telling people exactly what you plan to do in public
• Things that appear by magic when needed: Grips and full repelling equipment
• Flying a plane directly to a gymnastics meet
• EVIL COMMUNIST HAND TOXINS
• And much more…
