Pass the\xa0Salt!\xa0

This week, Andi and\xa0Lise\xa0chat about the movie\xa0Salt\xa0(2010)\xa0starring Angelina Jolie as a kickass action heroine who may or may\xa0not be a Russian sleeper agent. Jolie \u2013 Evelyn Salt \u2013 is an agent with the CIA who may also have been trained in Russia as a child and placed in the U.S. for a day when she and several others would activate to enact circumstances to create war between Russia and the U.S. As viewers, we\u2019re trying to figure out where her loyalties lie as she runs from the CIA after a Russian agent shows up at CIA headquarters allegedly to defect and ostensibly activates her.\xa0Pulse-pounding excellent espionage thriller with lots of twists and turns.\xa0Also, Jolie should be in all the action films.\xa0

Shout-outs:\xa0

Lise\xa0recommends that we go watch\xa0Wandavision, available on Disney Plus and\xa0Hulu. It\u2019s a miniseries based on the Marvel comic character Scarlet Witch (Wanda\xa0Maximoff). It shared continuity with the Avengers universe, but you don\u2019t need to have seen all the Avengers films to enjoy it. Set after\xa0Endgame, Wanda and Vision are living a nice life in the suburbs, but things are not as they seem.\xa0

Andi is feeding her lifelong fascination with the Soviet Union and is reading Adam Higginbotham\u2019s 2019\xa0Midnight in Chernobyl, about what happened at the Chernobyl plant in Ukraine in 1986 that resulted in the worst nuclear disaster in history that may have contributed to the end of the Soviet Union.\xa0Absolutely gripping and horrifying.\xa0
