Because of the film.

The Rest Is Classified
160. Argo: The Secret Iranian Hostage Crisis (Ep 1)

I have.

The Rest Is Classified
160. Argo: The Secret Iranian Hostage Crisis (Ep 1)

I have strong views having both watched the film and having researched the story.

The Rest Is Classified
160. Argo: The Secret Iranian Hostage Crisis (Ep 1)

I have strong views about its, not its qualities of drama or its worthiness even for best picture, but the degree to which it is historical reality, I am going to dispute quite strongly.

The Rest Is Classified
160. Argo: The Secret Iranian Hostage Crisis (Ep 1)

Is this also part of your adulation for this film and for Ben Affleck?

The Rest Is Classified
160. Argo: The Secret Iranian Hostage Crisis (Ep 1)

Is there some story about this?

The Rest Is Classified
160. Argo: The Secret Iranian Hostage Crisis (Ep 1)

I did.

The Rest Is Classified
160. Argo: The Secret Iranian Hostage Crisis (Ep 1)

Well, I bet when he comes on the pod, he's going to remember nearly bumping into you.
