Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Dan Robinson, who writes:

I like to note appearances by shortwave receivers in TV programs"here's the latest"at the 14 minute mark of the new season of NARCOS (one of the best TV series there is by the way) a ICOM IC-R71A makes an appearance. At the point in the show, a key character is listening to reel-to-reel tapes, so it's not quite clear why they stuck in a 71A tuning to a shortwave frequency".ah, the drama! Another show, The Americans, features numerous shots of various receivers, including Zenith Transoceanics and Hallicrafters"

Great catch, Dan-thank you for sharing! I'll add this find to our growing archive of radios in film.
