Spies Like Us (1985) w/ Charles Star from No Homework Podcast

No children were killed in helicopter accidents during this particular John Landis production.
This week on the show I'm joined by Charles Star to discuss the spy comedy Spies Like Us! It was received pretty weakly but on its 40th anniversary many articles popped up praising the Cold War setting of the kind of movie that does not get made much anymore.
I was shocked there was a Paul McCartney song attached to this film.
Spies Like Us was directed by child murderer John Landis. It stars Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, Donna Dixon, Bruce Davison, William Prince, Tom Hatten, Bernie Casey, and Steve Forrest. Featuring cameos by Costa-Gavras, Ray Harryhausen, Joen Coen, Sam Raimi, Martin Brest, Bob Hope, B.B. King, Michael Apted, Larry Cohen, Edwin Newman, Frank Oz and Terry Gilliam.
