This week on the Kill James Bond podcast we're honouring our ironclad commitment to international cinema by checking out this film from a small indie country they're calling 'Norway'. Apparently they could afford Stellan Skarsgard, so really good for them. Helping us to unpack this tale of revenge and isolation is Berlin-based artist and writer Ari Nielsson!
Ari's writing can be found at https://www.instagram.com/theoenus/, and copies of his essay collection, Urin, can be found at https://urinbook.bigcartel.com/

FREE PALESTINE
Hey, Devon here. For the past few months I've been talking to a family trapped in Gaza, working to cover their daily living costs amidst repeated displacements in the Genocide. Their names are Ahmed and Layla, and their 4 kids are Jana, Malik, Lana and Amir. Anything you can contribute would mean the world to me. They deserve to live. Attached is their gofundme, as well as three others that I can vouch for the authenticity of.

S4E2.5: Spice World [PREVIEW]
In the late 90s, close to half of british state intelligence apparatus and nearly 60% of the GDP was involved in some manner in maintaining a phenomenon known as 'cool Britannia'.
The Spice Girls were a girl band formed from open auditions with the aim of creating a group capable of cutting across every demographic in britain, creating a cultural juggernaut that could rival the Britpop boybands of the day.
At the height of their success, their manager's brother wrote a film about them, with them playing themselves. This is that film.
