Episode 20.5: The Thomas Crown Affair
(I fixed the file sorry - Dev)
Give me good numbers Jimmy!!
It's Abi's pick, and it's Pierce Brosnan starring as the titular Thomas Crown, a rich playboy pitted against the most trans gender art insurance agent of all time in this lifetime originals christmas movie that somehow contains more spycraft than the entire Brosnan Bond films combined.

this film sounds like the bad/evil version of D.E.B.S. (2004)
Trans. Trans! Trans. Trans..
I would like to formally request you guys check out “Spies are Forever.” It’s a comedy musical that’s kind of a bond parody and it’s absolutely fantastic
Forgot to say—it’s all on YouTube for free!
Lol, to Alice calling Dennis Leary "Timothy Leary".
There may be crossover between those two Boston dwellers.
I think the Ideology of this movie can be partially explained by it being made in Da 90s and the cultural conception of Finance being 'a bunch of rich guys stealing from each other' like you don't get this made after 2009
I have a stainless steel Abi Thorn cut out because cardboard won't stand up to that much scratching, biting and spanking
"I'm locked on, and have a clear shot with the spray bottle."
I accidentally left my cardboard cut-outs in the rain while we were gardening together... Can you put KJB daki pillowcases in the store for movie watching purposes?
I missed your voices
Nonce boats: you forgot gondolas and punts, which are arguably boats designed for the *sole purpose* of noncing
Probably also those boats used by rowing teams. Boats used to form a youth sport which is used to nonce.
There is definitely a type of female beauty involving a lot of Strong Bone Structure that seems to have gone out of fashion with the turn of the century. Disappointing lack of appreciation for chins & cheekbones that technically qualify as weapons in some jurisdictions.
What if instead of this movie Thomas Crown got hit by the truck and it became an Isekai?
I checked out the trailer after the podcast. And had a double take. "From the director of the Hunt For Red October and Die Hard". John McTiernan. I'm starting to think there's more going on in his films than i realised as a kid.
All I remember about this movie is watching it when I was like 11 or 12, sitting between my parents wanting to fucking die during the graphic stair fucking scene.
Im gonna be honest here this episode is the only reason I became a patron, this film is one of my biggest guilty pleasures :D
Same.
The only thing I remember about this film is the weird amount of Rene Magritte references
Alice's exasperated sigh as she realizes that the remainder of the podcast will be a discussion of watercraft upon which one might have a difficult time being a sex pest is very much a mood.
I click the button to start the podcast and all that happens is my printer spits out a note from some thief's grandkid saying "My next crime is I'm stealing this podcast episode", and then a man in a trenchcoat drives a helicopter into my living room.
Episode plays now
It's weird everyone is saying it is broken and there is no audio and yet when I hit play I get the audio of the Kennedy assassination over the top of looping hardbass
Episode will not play
There is nothing here.
Is it just me or is it not playing for other people?
yeah the file's fucked 😔
