Enjoy Movies!  This week, we head back to the Cold War comedy days of Spies Like Us (1985), directed by John Landis and written by Dan Aykroyd, Lowell Ganz, and Babaloo Mandel. Inspired by the Hope/Crosby “Road” pictures, the film takes a satirical jab at espionage and military absurdities of the Reagan Era. Aykroyd and Chevy Chase play bumbling “spies” who are unwittingly used as decoys in a high-stakes mission to distract the Russians, only to accidentally stumble into the real operation and prevent World War III. We break down the story, the scathing humor, and the long list of cameos, from Frank Oz and Bob Hope to filmmakers Sam Raimi, Terry Gilliam, and Ray Harryhausen. We also compare Austin Milbarge and Emmett Fitz-Hume against our secret agent bracket from a few weeks back to see how they stack up in spy cinema history. Are you a spy, like them? Do you still like the 80s political satire? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Doctor!” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.

Enjoy Magic!  Magic has a rich history spanning over 4,000 years, beginning with ancient Egyptian magician Dedi, known for early “cut and restore” illusions. Modern magic was shaped by Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin in the 19th century, who brought illusions from street performances to theaters. The late 1800s to early 1900s, known as magic's Golden Age, featured stars like Harry Houdini, who popularized escape acts and debunked fake spiritualists. As we grew up, we got to see all kinds of spectacular magic that was so hyped we couldn't resist trying it ourselves. Magic remains a captivating blend of art, science, and mystery that continues to evolve, and we can't get enough!   Who's your favorite magician? Got any tricks of your own?
