Bits and pieces of audio coming through.  Noticed it on the waterfall a couple minutes ago.  Also bits and pieces of music heard.

0408 UTC - Russian QSO going on.  OM and YL talking, with audio tones in the background.

0408- YL talking in unid language  S2-3
0409- some type of tone then OM talking in unid language
0410- OM talking in English
0412- OM said "we make great wool" ??
0413- OM mentioned the Soviet Union, maybe movie audio?
0417- OM said "... got us playing with models now?"
0420- definitely audio from a military movie about ICBMs
0424- heard Sean Connery's voice with the Russian accent (so this is "The Hunt For Red October" as Andrew Yoder mentioned)

I was tuning around, looking for SWBC stations above 75m and found this station playing movie audio from "The Hunt for Red October" & possibly some other stuff. Strong signal; surprised to run into a pirate here.

Seems like the programming has changed.  All the Russian accents have disappeared (as of roughly 0428 UTC).

0429 UTC - Sounds like Bogart's voice now...
0430 UTC - "Your cash is good at the bar..."
0436 UTC - Signal dropped off
0439 UTC - Signal came back up rapidly.  Back up to a nice S5, with S7 peaks.  Strong audio.
0445 UTC - Off suddenly. 

Maybe Casablanca?
