Operation Finale & Carmen Sandiego

Argentina week kicks off with us getting raw as we discuss the Top 5 Movie steaks. Whether they're used as symbols of the choice to willingly subjugate yourself to an artificial reality like they are in THE MATRIX, the manifestation of your burgeoning animal instincts as in MADAGASCAR or even doing something really odd with them like eating them as they do in GOODFELLAS, the well-seasoned Dads have probably got you covered. OPERATION FINALE is the incredible story of the capture and extraction of Adolf Eichmann from Argentina to Israel to face justice for his crimes as one of the orchestrators of the Holocaust. What begins as a spy drama with a heist type feel gradually evolves to be a character study of the man who inspired the phrase 'banality of evil', Eichmann (Ben Kingsley) and the reputationally damaged Mossad agent Peter Malkin (Oscar Isaac) whose personal experiences of the horrors perpetrated by Nazi Germany drives him on the daring mission. AMERICAN PIE director Chris Weitz was the obvious choice to tell such a thrilling story and even manages to insert a toilet scene in amongst the many powerful discussions about the differences between justice and vengeance and sequences describing the devastating personal effects of the Nazi's genocide. Such a spectacular true story probably doesn't need a pointlessly fabricated for Hollywood romantic sub-plot but we're lucky enough to get one here. We finish Argentina week where else but Indonesia in Netflix's 2021 animated series CARMEN SANDIEGO. In "The Sticky Rice Caper' the super thief repels a plot by VILE who have produced a bioweapon capable of devouring massive crops of rice in hours leaving the entire population liable to starve. Simple but striking animation and with an educational element cleverly integrated into the action this was a hit with all of us and not just because Carmen herself is super-hot. Peter provides a bonus review of the 1994 cartoon because he watched the wrong episode, the sweaty sausage-fingered ninnyhammer that he is.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.
