Spies Are Forever Decoded

Hey everyone! In this video I talk about Spies Are Forever by the Tin Can Brothers. A little history, a little film theory, a lot of gay spies! You can watch the show here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd3aJl930YE&list=PLlF0gFzOX4tD1KJ5ZEnvhD55Qhnz-K0X2 A note on the use of the word "queer" in this video. I know that the word queer is somewhat controversial and I would never use it to label anyone else, but in the context of film theory, it is the most common and appropriate word to use when discussing coding.
