Episode 31: Firefox + Foxbat
Episode description
Film-maker James T Williams joins Joe, Rob and Bryce to discuss a couple of foxy spy thrillers with an aeronautical twist! We check out Firefox (1982), directed by Clint Eastwood, and Foxbat (1977), directed by Po-Chih Leong. Clint having existential nightmares in bathrooms, Warren Clarke bashing people without warning, Henry Silva hiding cameras in his eye and microfilms in lollies... this week's double feature has it all!
We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for Firefox, so you can then skip ahead to the 1:05:03 mark to avoid spoilers. We didn't think you can really spoil Foxbat.
Watch James T Williams' excellent short film, Irrefutable Evidence here. James' other films can be found on YouTube at Joefest and Mr Glass Productions, and his 2007 feature, Waiting for Dawn is freely available here.
