The Grey NATO – 208 – Film Club Vol. 8
TGN Film Club is back for Volume 8. As with past volumes, Jason and James have each selected five movies that they hope you’ll love. From Jason’s jungle-heavy picks to James selection of a film that made him feel very dumb, it’s a great stack of movies with plenty of variety.
From the top, the TGN boys chat over the latest news from Patagonia and later wrap up the show with a story about a crypto cruise ship and floating hotels in the English Channel.

"For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake." – Alfred Hitchcock
If you enjoyed Body of Lies and want more mid-2000s Middle East intrigue, check out Syriana (maybe it's been included in previous Film Club episodes). In my opinion Syriana outclasses Body of Lies in just about every category. Like Body of Lies, it has an incredible cast; unlike Body of Lies, Syriana does not have Russell Crowe trying out a Southern accent.
And then cleanse your palate with Burn After Reading.
You guys should give Donnie Darko a watch. Weird sci-fi but my favorite movie ever made.
