Roger Moore Detour: "ffolkes"
Hello dear listeners!
Sir Roger Moore is one of the most fondly remembered actors of the James Bond franchise. So many fondly recall and pay tribute to his generally kind personality and positive outlook on life. His flair for the debonair enabled him to portray several tremendous characters on television and film. Roles that demonstrated bravery, sophistication, terrific wit, unapologetic sexism and misogyny-
Woah, woah, woah, hold on there! Excuse me?
Hosts Mathieu and Edgar are back this week with a Roger Moore Detour, because there’s always time for some more Moore. And boy do we ever get a lot Moore than we bargained for!
In an attempt to think a little bit outside the box, the lads opt to review the long forgotten 1980 action thriller (relatively speaking) A Very British Die Hard. Oh, you don’t recognize the title? How about North Sea Hijack? Still no? Hmmm, Assault Force? Not even? Uh, “ffolkes”???
Whatever. They’ll be talking about that 1980 film in which Roger Moore plays a paramilitary expert and an absolute douche bag to anyone that bothers to lend him their ears for a minute, especially anyone belonging to the fairer sex. Yes, well, thinking outside the box for their film selection led to some, uh, surprising topics of conversation: why are cats superior to women? How did a woman get that job? Why are there even women in the room? And so on and so forth…
Oh, but on a more positive note, the film displays modern, progressive values by featuring a non-binary character. Sort of. Maybe a little. Actually just in ffolkes’ twisted reality it would seem.
Sit back, try your best to get comfortable. Maybe prepare yourself a really stiff drink. Or two or three.
Don’t tell us we didn’t warn you. Ffolkes won’t. Believe us.
