Fred Kennedy joins Tod to discuss the tradecraft of The Old Man, a seven episode FX series currently streaming on Hulu and other services. Jeff Bridges stars as Dan Chase, a spy who has retired into deep cover to escape a troubling past. When he resurfaces, his old station chief (John Lithgow) is tasked with bringing him in, but secretly wants nothing more than for Dan Chase to disappear again. Permanently, if necessary. Amy Brenneman and Alia Shawkat also star.
Our next topic will be Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, currently streaming on Disney+ and other services. This prequel to the 1977 film follows the story of intelligence operatives in the Rebel Alliance in their search for the Death Star plans. Come talk spy film and television with us at:
