Welcome to our podcast where we discuss and deliberate over memoirs and biographies found in thrift shops. This is a great way to do things as we are not choosing who to read about. We may not be fans of the person, we may never have heard of the person and we never know who we are going to find next...

There are only 2 rules to this podcast. The book has to be found in a thrift shop and we are not allowed to talk about the book until we press record, which is sometimes agonising.

We have lots of episodes coming up so if you find yourself enjoying our podcast, please be sure to subscribe to be among the first to hear about each episode.

Djang00 Nudo and Smut Peddler moan (as usual) about Roku's uselessness, but celebrate a productive Berlin Film Festival, with plenty of films in the proverbial bag. They then parachute into the theme week of Euro Spy films, also known as Spaghetti Spy films.

These are film produced by 1964 and 1968, mainly in Italy, in response to the success of the first James Bond films. More than 50 of these were made, though few as good as Bond.

There are two trailer compilation films: "Operation: Secret Agents, Spies & Thighs" (1965) and "The Late Late Late Show" (1965). These are perfect backgrounds for almost any party.

There are three 'Kommissar X' films: "Kiss Kiss, Kill Kill" (1965),  "Death is Nimble, Death is Quick" (1966) and "Death Trip" (1967), based on the popular German novels.  Christa Linder, star of Swedish erotic film "Bel Ami" (1976), pops up in two of them. 

"Operation Atlantis" (1965) is a perfectly spy caper right until the (spoiler) science fiction ending.

"Last Plane to Baalbeck" (1964) is a labyrinthian mini epic, with Yoko Tani (French-Japanese) and George Sanders in one of his last roles. 

"Baraka X77" (1966) was called "Baraka X13" in the original, but was mauybe too unlucky in this scientist-secret-formula-fuel caper. 

"Passport to Hell" (1965) has karate chops, lots of bad karate chops, with sound effects to compensate. Much better is the music by  Piero Umiliani, who composed the 'Manah-manah' song form "Sweden Heaven and Hell" (1968).

"The Beckett Affair" (1966) stars Lang Jeffries and features 'shapely lesbian heroin addicts' - what more do you need?

"Desperate Mission" (1965) is Yoko Tani again, paired with German Cobos of Spaghetti Western fame, but British colonial Hong Kong is the real star of this film.

Ridiculously titled "Man on the Spying Trapeze" (1967) has false teeth containing micro cameras with nuclear secrets. Play Euro Spy key word bingo with that one.

"The Narco Men" (1968) is a surprisingly grim and fatalistic Euro spy film, but with "hippie" nightclubs. Remember those? No?

"Operation White Shark" (1966) stars Janine Reynaud who was in many Euro spy and also Jess Franco films, whose husband Michel Lemoine will be an erotic film theme week this spring.

"Password: Kill Agent Gordon" (1966) is an unusual spy film in that the VietCong are the bad guys, trying to obtain a mysterious stolen cigarette lighter.

There are x77 swinging Euro Spy songs on this week's Spotify playlist to listen and sip your martini to. 

Impression Contest Contestants: Florentino Carrillo, Dave Ciaccio, Jaime Zavala, Sumner LeVeque, Ted Harris, Rob Patrick, Hunter M. Altman, Brian Inciong, Nate Johnson, Mike Rose, Brandon Beck.

Finnish director Hanna Bergholm put her creative spirit into her new body-horror coming-of-age film for IFCMidnight, Hatching. But she's hear today to tell us about feeling seen by another creative spirit: the titular Lucy Muir in Joseph L. Mankiewicz's 1947 classic The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

Then, Jordan has one quick thing about Tron, obviously.

Hatching is in theaters and will hit streaming in the US starting May 17, 2022.

With Jordan Crucchiola and Hanna Bergholm

In this episode, Nick shares his vast experience and takes us on a journey through the history of the Canadian forest industry, the US trade dispute, and the challenges due to the volatile market of lumber around the world. 

With forestry mills shutting down across British Columbia and Canada, Nick remains positive of the future and reminds us of the underlying opportunities in the lumber industry. From the mountain pine beetle, to COVID-19, forestry remains a necessity.

Learn about the trees in our backyard, listen to this episode of Canadian Market Watch with Nick Arkle.  

Art Bidlevskii, a young local realtor, joins Canadian Market Watch to discuss how he's navigated both real estate and investing while sharing impeccable advice and regional forecasting tips.

Art's background before real estate consists of hard work and commitment to playing professional hockey around the world. In his travels, Art witnessed various stages in the global real estate market until suddenly his on-ice career was cut short due to a serious injury. Afterwards, Art returned to Kelowna to open his own real estate firm, The Property Source Group.

Not only does Art touch base on the real estate changes, interest fluctuations and economic crisis within Kelowna during the world pandemic of COVID-19, but he also explains the benefits of investments such as gold. 

Listen as Jim, George, and Art get into the demographic differences of the younger generation's ideas towards investing and why they may look different for segmented generations.

Rod started his career in 1970 as a technologist fresh out of BCIT standing next to a drill rig in the Kamloops area. He was working for an exploration company on a site that became a substantial copper discovery named Afton Mines.

They were pulling native copper out of the drill holes, something many people said was not possible. As Rod puts it, the only thing missing was the print of the Queen on it. 

The financial path of the stock went from low pennies in 1970 to an initial peak of $15 in 1972 and to a final high of $50 when it was merged with Teck. 

The mine is still producing copper, some 50 years later.

Last week was April 1st, meaning rent cheques were due for many individuals and businesses. During this pandemic, there has been much talk about rent deferment but what might be some of the unintended outcomes? 

Listen as Jim and George go beyond the topic of rent to discussing how manufacturing supply chains have been disrupted and what that means after this crisis is over, the impacts of nations around the world printing additional money, and home based agriculture systems (aka gardening!).
