S3E3: OSS 117: Panic in Bangkok
This week, as if to karmically reward us for weathering Fx-18, the universe rewards us with a perfect Moore-era bond film- except it's french and released in 1964! Join OSS 117 as he travels to Thailand to investigate missing vaccines, and gets drawn into conflict with an evil magus named Dr Sin...

THE MOVIES ARE ON STRIKE!
SAG-AFTRA is on strike for a number of reasons, from pay for streaming residuals, to the rights to own your own appearance, to the right to not have AIs trained off your work.
So if you've got a few spare pennies, why not chip in to help keep movies from becoming Shit Forever.

IATSE workers are struggling at the moment as well, as they can't work during the current strike actions but aren't themselves on strike- the Motion Picture Television Fund is a 501(c)3 charity that provides a range of assistance. https://mptf.com
Additionally, SAG and WGA members started another 501(c)3 charity called The Union Solidarity Coalition - https://tusctogether.com
And if you're in the UK, the UCU could still do with some help

Considering Thailand talking about destroying the nuclear powers, it’s worth noting that at this time Sukarno was making loud noises about getting Indonesia a nuclear weapon by 1965.
Thank you to OSS117 for saving us from... the backstory of Deus Ex?
Pavlov famously conditioned dogs to sigh in response to the sound of a shitty movie
I would *absolutely* buy a shirt that just says "OSS do what Jame Bondn't"
I waved back when Dev said they waved 😆
Yeah me too
"Monsieur Sansac" is French for "Mr. No Balls".
OoooooOooOoooOOOOOOOOOOOo
My dad would def take 4x5 photos of people and get their address. Like two years later he’d mail a print.

What a fun episode!
Need to update your solidarity links. WGA are no longer on strike.
Have done this. Thanks for the reminder!
Extended discussion of old school camera related gags is, and I can not stress this enough, why this podcast is worth my money. I know nothing about cameras, but the enthusiasm at the jokes was *chefs kiss*
If you'd like to learn more, Devon guested on an episode of Well There's Your Problem and talked about the history of cameras in great detail
Realising far too late in life the podcasters can't see me when I wave back.
