This week on Now Conspiring, we review Kingsman: The Secret Service and explore the hard-to-believe secrets behind the epic film. For example, did you even know the movie is based on a comic book? OK, maybe that’s not one of the more “mind-blowing” facts we explore, but that’s why I’m saying it here.
