We launched this podcast with the mission to cover ALL types of spy movies, good and bad. Here is proof of our commitment to the mission. The spy craze of the 1960’s left no studio hesitant to cash in, and that included the Hanna Barbera animation studio. In the first feature length Flintstones film, Fred is tasked by ‘the government’ to take the place of an international superspy.
Next up we will be revisiting Season One of Le Bureau, a critically acclaimed French spy television series.

We feel like we have finally cracked the code on how to mix in spy television series with our spy movie discussions. It’s kind of rare to find spy drama that focuses on pre-WWII tradecraft, but TURN delivers big time. This AMC Original show dramatizes the historical efforts of the Culper Ring in the effort to create a new nation.
This is Part One of a Three Episode series on Season One of TURN: Washington’s Spies. Here we will discuss the pilot episode. Next week we will discuss episode 6. The final week we will close the discussion with details (including spoilers) of the final episode 10.
