If you’re a fan of spy movies, Dan and Tom are your goto guides to espionage cinema.

It’s interesting that even prior to Bond, spy movies had certain tropes…Bond just did them better and they evolved into a formula that sustained the longest running movie franchise in history. Wish I could’ve connected with you at Gatherall! Had I known you were going to be there, I’d have searched you out! It was an incredible weekend that I will never forget, especially the shooting range event!

So in-depth and fun!!!
