The Day of the Dolphin (1973): Tactical Shenanigans, Talking Fish, and True Lies

It’s just the boys on NAFC this week, and things get weird fast.

The crew opens with some Alien Earth speculation, followed by a discussion of the Final Fantasy Tactics remake rumors and the source code drama that’s somehow both hilarious and deeply depressing. Izzy gives his thoughts on Ishura, while Mox talks about his recent rewatch of True Lies—still wild, still problematic, still awesome.

Then it’s time to dive into the main event: The Day of the Dolphin (1973), the movie that asked, “What if we trained dolphins to talk... and then turned them into assassins?” Somehow, that’s not even the weirdest part.
