This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron wrap up their “Modern Messes” series with one of the twistiest, most overcooked spy films in recent memory: Argylle (2024).

Bryce Dallas Howard stars as a cat-loving novelist, Sam Rockwell shows up as a scruffy maybe-spy, and Henry Cavill rocks a questionable hairstyle. With a cast this stacked and a budget that ballooned into the hundreds of millions, you’d think it would be a sleek spy thriller—instead, it’s a chaotic mess of twists on twists on twists.

From brainwashing music boxes to oil-tanker ice-skating fights, the guys try to unravel a story that somehow manages to out-parody itself without ever admitting it’s a parody.

So grab your velvet blazer, pour yourself a glass of Samuel L. Jackson’s finest Pinot, and join the guys as they laugh their way through one of the most ambitious, baffling, and bizarre spy flops of all time.
