The Rhythm Section Starring Blake Lively
Hello dear listeners!
Or rather, listener!
Yes you, the one person apart from the hosts of The James Bond Complex that went to see The Rhythm Section in theatres. It’s hard sometimes rooting for EON Productions, especially when they release Bond films so infrequently these days and when they throw their hat in the ring for projects of a different variety…no one pays attention.
Nevertheless, the hosts are back this week, all three of them in fact what with the international man of mystery himself Jason Kim joining the fray to dissect the film’s psychology, spychology, look, and feel. From the slums of London, the side cafés of Madrid, and the vibrant streets of Marseilles (with plenty of other stops in between), Mathieu, Edgar and Jason complete their training as assassins and venture forth on the journey alongside the spy thriller genre’s new anti-hero: Stephanie Patrick.
Does the film feature one of the best action scenes we might see in 2020 at the movies? What are the risks incurred when a novelist translates their own work to the silver screen? How impressive is the EON Productions studio logo when it appears on screen in front of a film? How bad of a sign is it when the theatre room in which a film plays is in that one room you must walk past the bathrooms to get to?
Sit back, relax, dye your hair black and take a dip in frozen water as we leave no stone unturned. Will we be as ruthless as the box office receipts were? Listen to find out!*
This is a spoiler episode but, like, whatever
