Episode 07: Scarecrow and Mrs. King, S2 E12

September 10, 2020 • Zoë and Richard

Just your typical end of the Cold War-era spy shenanigans when a United States spy agency (that shall remain nameless) enlists the aid of a middle-aged divorced mother to prevent the scourge of communism from spreading. This week Zoë, Richard, and special guest Danny, watch in confusion as Scarecrow and Mrs. King embark on a wedding cruise to find a missing friend and thwart illegal funding for a revolution. Listen as we say “I do! … not understand some of the decisions made by the creative team of this show” while strange accents appear and disappear, endless, suspicious glances are made for no reason, and some of the worst spycraft we’ve ever seen take to the high seas in “Ship of Spies.”
