OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies is the story of a French spy bumbling his way through an investigation into a Middle East arms deal in 1950s Egypt. Equal parts James Bond and Inspector Clouseau, as much Sean Connery as Peter Sellers, the team that would go on to a big night at the Oscars for The Artist first cut their teeth on the aesthetics of mid-century espionage flicks. Clint, Cal & Alex discuss the brilliant use of old school techniques like rear projection and day-for-night, how to stop short of running a bit into the ground and how this is the most Clint-ass movie of all time.

Meanwhile, Dan’s Algorithm hears the herring is also good and will get you a side order to judge for yourself.
