  • Splendiferous Spy Movie Podcast

    The two hosts offer insightful and witty commentary on the spy movie genre from the diverse spectrum on offer, touching on the unpopular, forgotten, and franchise IP’s in equal measure. A splendiferous and entertaining podcast full of detail, discussion and fun, a definite recommendation from me.

  • Keeps the British end up!

    There are many imitators but the magic of SpyHards cannot be duplicated. Only these two lads would be insane enough to want to tackle every spy movie ever made! Plus, their interviews are second to none! I challenge anyone to listen to the Jeff Kleeman or Lana Wood interviews and not immediately subscribe!

    A must-listen every week.

With all the intrigue, class, and danger of Hitchcock’s Notorious… these operatives serve up five-star espionage excellence, with no Trench coat in site, at every mission!
