Spy Game (w/ Assad Shalhoub)
Update: 2025-09-17
Description
This week, Rivka and Frank are joined by Assad Shalhoub, co-host of the Habibi House Podcast, for a deep dive into the 2001 thriller Spy Game, starring Robert Redford and Brad Pitt. Together they unpack the film’s overt racism, its relentless Islamophobia, and its unmistakable role as propaganda for the CIA.
For next week’s movie, we’ll be watching Spielberg’s epic classic Jurassic Park.
