Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

231. The Boss Baby (2017)
Q: Is there enough spy stuff in this film for it to be called a spy movie?
It's tough because in terms of what we think of as spy craft, it's definitely kind of on the line, but the corporate espionage element is probably strong enough.
231. The Boss Baby (2017)
Q: What do you think about Boss Baby?
It's a no from me; two interesting concepts, probably some big ideas in here that they never quite stick the landing off.
Matt Gourley on Ken Adam's Iconic Bond Production Design - SpyMaster Interview #116
Q: When were you first aware of Ken Adam as an artist?
I definitely took note of the sets in the Bond movies as a kid when I watched them, but I didn't realize how much until I went to college and studied scenic design.
Andrew Fleming on The In-Laws (2003) - SpyMaster Interview #113
Q: What did making The In-Laws teach you?
It taught me that I could handle a big giant production, and that I enjoyed that.
Andrew Fleming on The In-Laws (2003) - SpyMaster Interview #113
Q: How did Albert Brooks get involved with the project?
When I came on board, there were a couple of names floating around, and his was among them.
