Is BLACK SUNDAY (1977) one of the greatest forgotten thrillers ever made?

This week, Agent Scott, Cam the Provocateur and returning guest Steve Kobrin revisit John Frankenheimer's tense political thriller starring Robert Shaw, Bruce Dern and Marthe Keller.

Together they discuss:

• Why Black Sunday feels more relevant today than ever
• Bruce Dern's extraordinary performance
• John Frankenheimer's masterful direction
• The film's connections to James Bond, Marathon Man and Hitchcock
• The spectacular Super Bowl climax
• Whether it deserves to stand alongside the greatest spy thrillers ever made
• And of course... does it make the SpyHards NOC List?

If you've never seen Black Sunday, or it's been years since your last viewing, this episode might convince you it's time for another look.
