The Spy-Fi Guys return to the world of military intelligence with "Midway," a movie appropriately enough about the Battle of Midway early in World War II. Charlton Heston is a fighter pilot/intelligence chief with a son who wants to marry a Japanese-American woman. Despite this interesting plot turn, the movie tends to focus on the battle itself and not so much the drama. Guest starring ZJ. You can find the Spy-Fi Guys at the following social media...

It's Global James Bond Day again, October 5th, and to celebrate Christian invites his best friend on to talk space shuttle engineering and NASA history, while Zach struggles to remember one of the goofier entries in the long running 007 franchise.

It's back to the 1990s this time with The Spy-Fi Guys. Although "The Rock" starring Nicolas Cage and Sean Connery as James Bond(?) and directed by Michael Bay is thought of as more an action movie rather than a spy movie, there is decidedly more spy fiction, if not spy fact, than one would expect. Guest starring Lance. You can find the Spy-Fi Guys at the following social media...

It's a cult classic starring Sam Rockwell as Chuck Barris, the creator of other classic game shows like "The Dating Game," "The Newlywed Game," and "The Gong Show." George Clooney directed the biopic of his life in which he battles mental illness while creating hit TV programs and moonlighting as CIA assassin. Okay, that last part isn't actually true. But the movie, featuring an all star cast and an engaging story, is one looked back upon fondly for fans of Rockwell and Clooney. You can find...

It's a combination of two Hollywood pretty boys in 2001's "Spy Game," a movie that feels incredibly post-9/11 without actually being one. Robert Redford mentor's Brad Pitt while dodging CIA executives in a tense time traveling thriller that takes our heroes from 1960s Berlin to 1980s Beirut and beyond. There's even an international incident with China tacked on at the end. Not one to be missed! You can find the Spy-Fi Guys at the following social media...

Recurring guest star Lance is back with "Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit" starring Chris Pine as the beloved analyst and Keira Knightley as Cathy. This movie is the red headed stepchild of the Jack Ryan series, not nearly as beloved as the Harrison Ford movies or the new show on Amazon Prime. But how bad can it really be? Guest starring Lance.

A few months early, the Spy-Fi Guys discuss one of many "too soon" movies about an American national tragedy. This one is Patriots Day, starring Mark Wahlberg as a fictional police officer who is involved with every aspect of the Boston Bombing and the search for the marathon bombers.

The Spy-Fi Guys cruise into their first (and probably last) Pixar movie with Cars 2. Tow Mater and his buddy Lightning McQueen get caught in a James Bond-style plot involving alternative fuels and car gadgets. The car puns came fast and furious, both on the screen and off.
