SPY - the movie - A Fresh Look!

Join Dan Tom as they decode SPY – the movie from 2015. Find out if this spy comedy movie holds up. It has a great cast. But does it work as a comedy?

This movie is written and directed by Paul Feig. It stars Melissa McCarthy, Jason Statham, Rose Byrne, Jude Law, Allison Janney, Miranda Hart, and others. But it is a comedy spy movie and there is a hit-or-miss track record for these movies.

Some of the things we cover in our look at SPY include:

· The cast – does it work?

· How much of this movie was improvisation?

· Jason Statham's role was originally going to be different that it ended. How is it different?

· Melissa McCarthy has to carry much of this movie. Does she succeed?

· Did Aldo have a backstory we never saw?

· What are some of the common spy movie tropes that we see?

· Why do Elektra King and Madeleine Swann from the James Bond series get mentioned?

· Rats!

· Will there be a SPY 2?

· Do Dan and Tom think this spy movie is worth watching?
