James Bond Easter Egg Hunt

Join Dan and Tom as they discover THE TRAITORS, a 1962 British B Spy Movie. Does it make the Grade? Low budget B movies were made, for the most part, to be the second billing on double features. Low-budget doesn't necessarily mean a bad movie. In this episode we dive into THE TRAITORS without giving away the movie. THE TRAITORS has a good cast starring Patrick Allen, James Maxwell, Jacqueline Ellis, and Zena Walker. We look at the high-level plot, what makes this a B movie, how espionage is portrayed, the music and more. For the most part, this is espionage! At Spy Movie Navigator, one of our goals is to identify Influences. Specifically, where a movie was influenced by or has influenced other spy movies and real life. THE TRAITORS has significantly influenced parts of THE FOURTH PROTOCOL, ALLIED, the the Harry Palmer Series, ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, THUNDERBALL, LICENCE TO KILL and more. Take a listen to find out about these influences. THE TRAITORS is a fairly common name for movie titles and television shows, including the currently airing games show. So, to be clear, we're examining the 1962 movie here. So, join Dan and Tom for their THE TRAITORS - A British B Movie Makes the Grade episode.

Join Dan and Tom as they bring you UNDERCOVER BROTHER - Decoded! The 2002 movie UNDERCOVER BROTHER is a spy movie that they've been wanting to decode for a while. It is very wacky but very racially focused. Some might call it a blaxploitation spoof movie. They look at this movie, in part, against the backdrop of the recent announcements that the Ian Fleming books are being rereleased and rewritten to remove 'offensive' text. UNDERCOVER BROTHER has many racial jokes against both black and white people. There are even some words that are considered offensive to some people. So, does this movie need to be censored as Flemings books are? Take a listen and send us your thoughts on this episode, UNDERCOVER BROTHER - Decoded! at info@spymovienavigator.com.
