In this week's episode, our heroes bring the dip, if you'll bring the Dostoyevsky, and rediscover 1981's Condorman, starring Michael Crawford.

How much money is in the CIA's defection budget? Are we approaching the singularity when all superheroes become James Bond? And has there ever been a better car chase scene than the one in this movie? 

No. There hasn't. But find out the rest of that stuff and more as the guys order the triple Istanbul Express and take on Condorman!

In this episode we take a stroll with the Ghost that Walks, and enjoy(?) the 1996 film The Phantom starring Billy Zane.

Explore the deepest darkest jungles of these questions and more as our heroes,only the latest in a long line of Andrews and Anthonys, take on The Phantom!
