  • I'd love to try it, @j_w_pepper. This coffee alternative is also a natural.

  • I have another US streaming option but maybe it leads to something of interest. Still either streaming or Region 1, though. For those using Roku streaming, see the free Dorado channel for some Eurospy movies of interest. Eurocrime, war, weste…
  • Yeah, @Torgeirtrap, I hope someone on this side can find it useful. Still, it does show some availability so your search shouldn't be in vain.

  • I also took the "Plenty of time to sleep when you're dead" as a tribute to Warren Zevon, who was terminally ill at the time. So I could see a return of that kind of thing in passing. Even a Chris Cornell nod.
  • For Bond, last being 2002 and "London Calling" I guess.

  • Okay now I gotta have that.
