The crossover with how did this get made on view to a kill?
The very film we're covering today.

Matt and Matt and, Matt and, James Bonding podcast.
Welcome once again to James Bonding.
My name's Matt.
My name is Sinjin-Smith.
How do you spell that?
Well, it looks like it says St. John Smith,
but it's pronounced Sinjin-Smith.
Okay.
Good to be here.
Good to be here.
We're going to get right into this film, but we did want to say, just there's a couple of Bond updates.
Grace Jones has left the production apparently, allegedly, enraged that she was no more than a cameo in the movie when she showed up to set.
How did she not know that ahead of time?
I don't know.
Well, I think that she thinks her character May Day survived this film.
Of all the James Bond characters, that is one of the least survivable deaths.
She's sitting on top of tons and tons of these works.
What if like she got to set and it was the situation where she was very much,
she very much looked like Kenneth Brana in Wild Wild West where her bottom half was
Steel Spider legs.
The new Darth Mall.
Oh, yes.
Yeah.
That's not the new Darth Mall.
It's just Darth Mall.
It's Canon.
Just so you know, man.
I'm here to update everyone on Star Wars Canon again.
My name is Sinjin Smyth.
Also, we just watched the minute-long video, behind-the-scenes video on Bon 25 that Fukunaga put out.
I loved it.
You didn't love it.
I thought it was not exciting.
I just love the style, the colors that kind of harkens back to live and let die.
I mean, it gives me a goodness right in the googlys.
What about it hearken back to live and let die for you?
Just kind of the, just Jamaican, I don't know.
like local island tropic yeah uh with a little bit of an edge whereas you see like a doctor no
situation is island tropic with no edge so that's what you're saying yeah i get it i get it uh i will say
that i thought that it was cool that uh daniel craig was laughing only time i've ever seen him smile
oh you don't think that was that was definitely put in to um counter the rumor that he and fukunaga
were fighting oh i didn't know there was a rumor see this is a little i try to follow this
exact movie. Well, the only rumor is that there's a picture of them kind of talking both with stern
looks on their faces, but it so could have easily, and probably was them just discussing a scene.
There's no, no, proof that it was them fighting. It also could have been like, no, no,
in this scene, you're supposed to be like this. Right. And then Craig's like, like this?
Like this, yeah. And then right after that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it. Go ahead.
Right. Anyway. But that's, you know, neither here nor there. But I will say,
yeah, of all the shots in that, in that, uh, teet.
promotional video, courtesy of Don Jock.
I was most excited for a good pal Felix.
Yeah.
Who, I got to say, he gets seemingly the best assignments in the CIA.
I know.
He's on private planes with Hellboy.
Playing poker.
Playing poker at the fanciest of Casinos.
With Hannibal.
Oh, he's just the who's who of what is Felix lighter.
chasing down Freddie Mercury.
And now he's hanging out in what I would describe as, uh,
studio, uh, 50 bore.
That's what that looked like.
Oh, I'm so...
50 more.
50 plus.
Also, I've got some bad news for you.
Oh, no.
No David Arnold for Bond 25.
Wait, why?
Dan Romer, uh, Fukunaga's...
Oh, Fukenaga.
I don't know.
This guy, I listened to the maniac soundtrack after he was announced.
Yeah, I just have that cool.
song. I'm a maniac maniac and I'm dancing on the floor. Yeah, that's it. It's all flash
dance soundtrack. I'm into it then. No. I'm, I'm hopeful. I think it could be something a little
different, but not so Eric Sarah different. Yeah. So, well, you know, I miss Arnold. We do run the risk
of getting something that is actually, you know, it was a little bit of my worry when I saw that
teaser thing. It was very, the music was, I mean, it was Jamaican, but it was,
modern Jamaican music, which I feel like, I don't like, well, that's a weird thing to say.
I was going to say, I don't like dating things. But then I'm like, well, no, I do like dating
things, but I like dating them to the 60s. Yeah, but at least, I don't know, there's just something
also very timeless about it, or at least retro feeling like all the glasses that people are wearing
and that fashions look really thrown back. Yeah, by the way, if Shaggy and the Bahamon
aren't in this. And the cool runnings boys.
All right, let's get to this.
At least one of the cool running's voice.
We're here to talk about.
We're here to talk about the greatest James Bond film ever put on celluloid.
That's right.
Of course, we're referring to Casino Royale.
Well, at close...
But today we're doing the commentary.
To a View to a Kill, a film that both of us can agree.
That against the tide of most of humanity, we love.
It's a film that I would say my love of has only grown doing this podcast.
I probably watch it the most of any Bond film.
I don't know if that's just because of the nostalgia factor or what, but I love it.
It's still Octopussy for me.
Yeah.
Octopuses.
That's a big one for me too.
That's my go-to.
That's my doing stuff around the house.
Must have something on the television.
Yeah.
Speaking of Octopussy, one final announcement.
There are but a handful of tickets left for my band's show, Townland, which we will be
playing a song from Octopussy.
It's Tuesday.
The day this comes out, the night that 8 p.m.
with the Lyra Khyperian in Los Angeles,
you can get tickets at events.
So if you're a big fan of the podcast
and you're in the L.A. area,
it seems like the best way to support the show
would be to go see Matt live.
And this is the last I will bug you.
Yeah, but the second best way to do that
is to head over to Matt goarly.com.
Order yourself a tasty, tasty print.
Matt, you're too kind.
No, look, it's there.
It exists for a reason
and the reason is that our fans should have it on their walls.
Wow.
I'm talking stunt spectaculars.
James Bond themed for six flags,
over wherever, Matt Goerley has gone ahead and put his imagination on the page and on a print
that you can own. Three prints, as a matter of fact, collect the set.
You know what? I'd say spring for the good paper, kids.
Yeah, metallic with a luster finish. Do it.
All right. Here's how we do this. You probably know it, but you're going to hear the first roar
of the MGM lion. Roar. As soon as you hear that roar, pause it right after, and then we'll
count you into the second roar and that way
will all be synced on
1985, Roger Moore's last
film, he's 57, Duran Duran
sings the song. Hang on, last James Bond film.
Of you to a kill. What?
The last James Bond film, Roger Moore was in.
Yes. You just had his last film like he passed.
No. He did Spice World. Let's not forget. That's true.
Okay, let's, I'm going to queue up here,
the lovely lion.
Listen up.
Here we go. Lion is coming.
I Music
All right
We paused it
Everyone
Yeah
All right
You're gonna get a little count in
Matt,
Why don't you count us in?
All right
On play, Matt,
Okay
Three
Two
One
Play
I like that
I got a little exhale
From that lion
Oh I always forget
I always forget to
Neither the name
Zorin
Nor any other name
Why this one
Of all movies
Did they have to?
Is it because Silicon Valley was so litigious or what?
I think it was just because of that guy, Bill Zorn.
Who's Bill Zorn?
He was a guy who used to work for the KGB and then started a microchip factory.
He was like, he went and watched the movie.
He was like, wait a second.
What are they saying about me?
Who's this pilot?
Shakes McGee.
No kidding.
You don't want to keep it steady over that kind of glacier.
Yeah.
It was very shaky, right?
I'll translate it to you.
Okay.
I'm crazy about the soundtrack to this film, too.
Well, I mean, I think there's one music cue in particular we all love.
Of course, Matt thought those were little bees for James Bond.
We later learned.
We learned from about 83 people.
Fancy, fancy ski.
The Willie Bogner line of skis.
Fancyware.
Now, I do know what Schmatri means.
Yes, it means.
It's shaky, right?
I learned that from Red Dawn.
I also love that all of this shot on location,
and you know Roger Moore never set foot here once.
Every single thing of his is shot in a studio.
Well, at 57, you got to be like...
Be good for...
It's not good for his joints.
By the way, here's a little touch I like.
Standard issue jacket.
Oh, yeah.
They all have that fancy white ski jacket.
poor double-o agent had a wife and a daughter no no no those were two women he's slept with oh my matt
what you know do you understand what the life of a double o is like man not now i don't
obviously killing and uh make it sweet sweet love this music you just can't beat it well
i'll tell you what though if i ever try to ski again i might just put this on
Yeah, I would too.
This may be one of my favorite.
Are you a skier?
I was raised skiing, and then as soon as I became an adult said, I don't need to do that anymore.
Really?
Same with golfing.
I think Amanda and I have talked about maybe getting back into skiing or at least trying it again.
Not golfing.
You guys have not decided.
I have tried golfing as an adult.
Look at that.
He's so clear.
I'm happy to do it.
Anytime you want to golf, I'll happy to golf.
I'm not good.
We'll go to St. Andrews or what's the...
Okay, that's far, but I'll do it because...
St.
of golf.
Sir, it's your honor.
Ah, ah.
You know, I'd just do that.
Yeah.
Did you ever collect G.I. Joe because Bond is dressed just like snow job.
I'm familiar.
Yeah.
But I did not collect G.I. Joe.
I think that's probably that guy was so in a snow job.
I was more of a he-man guy.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I was never in a heat-in-in.
I preferred the size of the he-man.
Ah.
Definitely.
I'll be there at an ADR session where Roger Moore's just going.
Oh.
Oh.
percent, Roger Moore.
I bet you that wasn't even him.
No, it had to.
Come on.
He's like, Covey, listen.
Since I didn't go out there, I'm happy to come in and loop anything you need.
Well, that's great, Roger.
Wow.
Oh.
No.
Every time.
I somehow, and I know this is going to...
Every time.
This is a great risk that I say this.
I don't hate it.
I don't love it, but I don't mind it because this movie is so...
bonkers. And it just is telling you, like, get ready.
It's no...
It's no worse than London calling in Diana B' day.
Yeah. At least this is tongue in cheek.
Yeah. And this is diogenic because we know those Russian skiers are blasting it out of their backbacks.
...construction site boombox.
Just covered in paint and...
It's more jarring to go back into this score.
I agree.
I mean, if he was really good, he'd tie it in.
Whose decision was that ultimately?
Not John Barry, certainly, or was it, do you think?
Oh, this is a, it seems a Glenn property.
Yeah.
He's like, can we get some, uh, by the way?
Let's talk about that guy's AK magazine.
Did you see it?
It's a brass catcher.
Oh, I thought it was just a magazine.
No, because the shells will go up into the blades.
I love Matt's obscure gun knowledge.
Yeah, you know.
I mean, it's not obscure.
It's just good knowledge.
Look at this little remote control helicopter.
What you're talking about?
I did that flying myself.
That was a real helicopter.
Shakespeare McGee.
Oh, man.
I bet if they weren't,
if they didn't fill the entire cabin with gasoline,
that wouldn't have happened.
I wish another flat one opened up next to it that was China,
and he was like, nope, not that one.
I could go to this one.
A bunch of countries opened up.
Each flag.
Was she in the lady version of that jacket?
Basically.
I love it.
Standard is.
shoe, MI6 jacket.
Coral colored.
I mean, he's 57.
Off of a dead friend.
Yeah, I know people give him shit for this.
You kidding me?
We should all look that good at 57.
Oh, I should look that good at 35.
It's not happening.
Singuished gentlemen.
Also, how do I build one of these?
I can get you the plans.
I mean, are they just like tuck it in for the bone zone, or are they really like,
we've been up for three days, let's sleep.
No.
I think it's bone zone?
I think he was out there for 20 minutes.
They got five days.
That actually is just a,
that's a blown up version of the alligator they used in the octopus.
That head looked just like an alligator head.
Look, you come to the town and shall we might be performing a slice of this song tune,
just saying, now I'm officially done.
Well, if you want to recapture any of this magic in visual form,
head over to magorily.
No, no, no, no.
No, no more.
You know, you could do everybody.
Head over to Pod smirch at smirch.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know.
Pod swag.
Dot com slash bond, I believe.
Yeah.
If not bonding, but I think bond.
Get yourself a knick-knack to Basco.
Yeah.
Give a doc a bone.
Get yourself some, uh, the beautiful James Bonding poster.
Oh, gorgeous.
Hangs in my home, that poster.
Yeah.
Pigeon double take and or cananga balloon t-shirts.
Yeah.
What you're going to want to do is get a pigeon double take.
Skip the canang balloon.
Or get the set.
Yeah.
I guess we'll talk about it.
It's a great song.
It really is.
I've been playing a lot of Duran Duran
Lately.
I was kind of realizing
my sister was really into new wave,
so I skewed hard rock,
heavy metal,
and I never got to fully,
I think I appreciated the music,
but I never fully got to celebrate it.
And I'm doing that now in my life.
You know, I was watching not long ago,
the Ares Willie Bogner.
Um, their 2015, um, performance at Coachella.
And it's pretty tight.
Really?
Yeah.
And they still got it?
Oh, yeah.
Hmm.
Even John Taylor's back.
Wow.
Yeah.
There's like three tailors in that band, right?
None related.
Isn't that weird?
Yeah.
I mean, it's not that weird.
I suppose.
It's England.
Yeah.
Princess Diana's favorite band.
Fact.
Skiing in the fire.
Well, I,
they don't want to be on the nose
she didn't want to be dancing into the fire
I love
you know if he came out
with a Walther PPK
that shot a clear laser
and turned a woman into
weird looking ice
Oh
Do you think at any point
that ice lady looked great
And it was like
This is perfect
Please we're ready to go
No I just need to light it more
Morris is still at lunch
I mean I guess
dancing on skis
is probably harder than, again, this laser gun is my favorite thing in the credits.
He keeps popping up like, like a, I don't know.
That ice lady looks better.
It's a better angle for ice ladies.
This is a fire lady.
This is a fire lady.
This is a fire lady.
Some good eye, uh, eye makeup right there.
Composed by Duran Duran and John Barry.
How do you suppose John Barry got his talons in there?
The horn parts?
Yeah, I wonder.
I wonder how much he was.
was responsible for any of the melody or if it was just like arrangement.
You think he was like, fellas, you're missing some horns.
But then again, I mean, this melody is all throughout the movie and I just love it.
When is, like, if you're listening, Dan Romer, and I know you are, not to the podcast,
but you're just outside the room right now, get that score.
We should let him in.
Get the song and get them mixed.
Yeah.
I would love it if it was another hat and Sean Conner was there.
I mean, is that so over the top for that office?
He's always in a three-piece suit.
It's actually a little underdress.
Oh, slow your roll, M.
Geez, always raining on their parade.
Matt, we got to go to London again.
Yeah.
We got to go get some hats.
I want to go to that secret cinema thing.
I've heard amazing things about it.
I'd love to see those.
Q branch memos.
I know.
My hands are at a six.
Thanks for the memo, Q.
No worries.
I've made each of my pockets much larger.
The poor, they give this poor guy a microchip to hold.
I know.
Something called a microchip, and they put it in his hands.
Just. Jesus Christ, why does he get...
Oh, no, I know why.
But I was going to say, he's got long tails.
and French cuffs.
Oh, yeah.
And not a word out of Bond about it.
Yeah, Money Penny shows up in a classy
dress and he's all over it.
Chauvinism.
What do you think about this shirt Bond is wearing
right there with the pink pinstripes and a white collar?
Let me see.
Okay, I'll let you see in a second.
There you go.
I like it.
It's interesting.
Yeah.
What is a microcomparator?
It's right there.
It's on a desk.
You know what? I love, by the way, is that that probably sits in M's desk always. It's never anywhere else.
Yeah, right. We need the microcomparator. Where is it? No, it's M's. Make sure it's the key operated one, the one that runs on diesel.
Hang on. Matt, my brain is breaking a little bit here. Help me out. M. Future M. Right? No. I'm very confused. He's in a thousand of them as this defense minister, right? But he's never. He never been.
becomes him. No. It's easy to forget because he around this time. Because he's in all the time.
Yeah. He might have more lines than sometimes. What's his name? God damn it. Robert Brown. He might have more
lines than Robert Brown. He's kind of an unnecessary character. I wonder if he was a friend of the
braw guys or something. Look, he's even just leaving. Yeah. His name might be, is his name Bill
cauliflower? Because his family probably brought cauliflower at the United States. That's a smart guess.
I'm feeling you don't think that's a lot of.
smart guess.
One of us is operating on an hour of sleep.
Guess who?
Well, I mean, they're going to stick out like sore thumbs the way they're looking.
I know.
Look how good he looks.
I'm happiest in the saddle.
I'm happy.
I'm feeling glad.
Wait, is that the guy that gets, that falls out of the blimp later?
Oh, maybe.
He looks a little, uh, New Zealandy to me.
Did you hear Moneypenny's line?
Yeah.
Come on, get a wiggle on.
These are all extras, do you think?
Or did they shoot?
They shot at a day that races were running.
It's cubby broccoli.
It's not, you know, it's not someone who's not conscious about saving a buck here and there.
Why is this scene transfixing us?
Well, you know, there's a lot happening.
I know.
Okay?
There's gray gloves abound.
Yeah.
We've got Sir Godfrey Tibbitt arriving,
narrator of all the
laser disc documentaries
what is this supposed to show us
that she's stronger than a stallion
I don't know why Chris Walkin
think that's so funny
Pegasus
how they all didn't bet money on Pegasus
with what they were doing there
they were all there to see
that his horses always win
look at this set
not a set that's a real restaurant
and I own it
no all right
it's a set. That's incredible.
Wait, is it a set, though?
Well, it's certainly not on the Eiffel Tower. I mean, it could be some other restaurant,
but I'm pretty sure it's a set.
This is crazier than the big boy song.
France, why aren't you offended for everyone?
Do you think John Glenn said turn it down a notch or take it up a notch?
Well, I don't think it's his real voice, so it's someone else dubbing him.
Yeah, yeah, but the look.
Yeah.
World famous butterfly.
dance here we're going to see all I want for my funeral is this done done and done bookmark this
everybody but the whole thing I want to die the way that where jean dies at your funeral you want to be
put the chair and die again party slash funeral I'll get killed this way and then they go right
into my gotcha all right what is in James Bond's mind right now what is happening is he is he like
when he saw the
when he saw May Day
holding the fishing line
with the butterfly
was he just like
oh so that's how they do it
what was his
what was that look
he really held on that for a little while
I figured it out again
you'll never get one on me
Paris
yeah
James Bond one
France zero
why does he say Paris
with such a heavy French accent
why does he not say Paris
well
you know.
It's crazy.
I mean, there's even no need for a scream.
One of the butterflies just hit a patron in the face.
That's how, that's what happens?
How do you know he's dead?
Also, her parachute is color coordinated and designed to match that butterfly.
Oh, well, look, that's just the kind of expense, uh, Azoran will, will spring for.
This is a good decade for action on the Eiffel Tower.
Superman 2, this movie.
This far as I'm prepared to go.
Well, I mean, you've already got two huge movies right there.
There's probably another.
You know, I've never been up the Eiffel Tower.
I've been to it.
Former guest and friend of the show, Scott Mosier,
famously did the Thunderball Bortem with us.
Yeah.
For about a year and a half, he was living about three blocks from the Eiffel Tower
while he was finishing up the Grinch movie.
He was directing that.
What was he doing there?
Directing the animated Grinch movie.
Scott Mosier did?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, Amanda did punch up on that.
Well, Scott probably said, great job.
I don't know why she wouldn't know who does fucking, who's directing the movie she's doing punchup on.
Well, she just seems rude.
She just didn't know that he was on.
A Thunderball?
She doesn't listen to Thunderball regularly, like the rest of us do?
Long story short, anyway.
Spent a couple weeks over at Mosier's place with Dory.
And it was the best vacation I've ever had.
Really?
Paris.
Paris, just walking around Paris, you rarely get better.
Yeah, I'd like to go back.
I've been there once.
I love this.
How did he switch?
One of those people was Roger Moore.
Wait, there are two men up there?
I love this guy.
What is the Cowboy switch?
The Texas switch?
Well, I always call it the Cowboys.
My cow!
My cow!
This is a great car.
Seed.
Excuse me.
No percent chance that was that guy's voice.
This reminds me of like a Jacques-Tatie movie or like Richard Lester, like a Beatles movie or something.
It's all just kind of crazy cause and effect.
It was like they got the, whatever the British version of, or rather the, uh, French,
French version of Andrew Dice Clay at the time was.
Macar!
Oh, my car!
Ikery, dickory, oh, mecker!
Clean break.
Those cars are perforated right in the middle.
Well, you know, front wheel drive.
What's going to happen, really?
Now, if I remember correctly, some cake gets ruined here.
Yeah.
And it's very upsetting.
What a happening?
party
a boat wedding on the
chamoiselleuze you never
you never been to a boat wedding
on the chamoiselleuse that's exactly
what they're always like probably
such an awkward
they need that like that looked like it genuinely
like hurt yeah
the side of his body
touch of cake on him I gotta say
Matt this might be the energy of just starting
but so far this is my favorite commentary track
to what the energy of
just starting this, but this is my favorite commentary
track we've done so far. Oh, wow. This movie's
so bananas. It's so watchable.
I agree.
What have he said? You may not.
Look at he's taking his tie off.
Are they in Paris?
So what happened is
Em had to get into the channel,
rent a large car,
pick up his old buddy James Bond.
They don't have the fairies back then?
And they removed the headrest so that we could have
easy shooting.
Why have a headrest in a Rolls-Royce when you could have nothing?
Now, of course, we're at the Moonraker's Mansion in Southern California.
Which also, if you pay close attention, you never see Roger Moore physically there.
It's always an animatronic.
Love this guy.
Take your time with your lines.
Do you?
What do you think that was?
He completely forgot his line?
Also, that's the best take.
I love watching something and going, that was the best thing.
Yeah.
There's something about watching this.
We're watching to my computer, and it's so widescreen right now.
Just on a, like a TV, I think it crops it still.
No, on a TV, it would be letterbox still.
Yeah, but it just, I don't know.
I need to see this on the big screen again.
All right.
Let's do it.
His name's Scarpeen.
Do you think the scar came first?
No, no.
Take a look at his pain.
Watch.
Or his name was Scarpine and he's like, I need a scar.
John, Mr. Glenn, I was reading the script and I thought maybe I should have a scar because my name is Skarpine.
All right, fine.
This is my last one, too.
They haven't told me that, but I'm just assuming.
He didn't do living daylights?
You're kidding me?
Well, look, I'm just thinking everyone's my last one.
You got to live every day like it's your last.
if we're if they uh if they have any weird makeup left over from the crazy german doctor maybe we
could have done that part i don't know why they didn't ask me i can carry a pail at the best of them
was that a double take that was a double take i can't believe there's a horse in here
uh are my chewing theory by the way those uh people there that are in the uh traditional
17th century
wig.
Time travelers.
Not actually.
Oh my God.
Just a legion of time travelers?
I mean,
we never really got into
nobody has a problem with what we're wearing.
Nobody seems to be bothered by it.
We never really got into what those microchips did.
Do they never say what they do?
No.
He just wants to take over the, yeah.
But what if he has a time machine in his basement
running all on those microchips?
that's not going for this theory.
I'm straightening a tie and I might think about it.
There's a good chip.
I watched an episode of The Avengers recently.
It's amazing.
There's one where there's just cats as villains.
It's really good.
I'd never really, really watched one since I was like little.
I used to rent them when I was a kid.
Again, those time travelers right there.
Oh, Allison Dutie.
That's her response.
no previous relationship between the two of them in the movie
so James Bond is just fucking with
with a sir with a member of the Queens court
feels like this was Roger Moore's idea
but weirdly I like it feels like it's in character
for James Bond yeah to mess with that kind of
authority or
I don't know what the word would be.
Maybe this was all just to set up his tape recording for later.
Yeah, must be.
I want to see the session where they sat down and did that tape recording.
Do you think it was in one of Roger Moore's homes in Majorca for his escaping taxes?
Or just look at it.
I'm sure the balcony isn't biked.
I think they have some sort of transporter device with these microchips.
Sir Godfrey, what are you talking about?
All right, we're up to two helicopters in this movie.
He's a monocle.
He must be bad.
Patrick McNee is not still alive, right?
Where is he?
I believe he is.
Let's check into that.
Look at that saxophone.
Look at that saxophone.
Would you look at that saxophone?
I mean, she is essentially...
Yeah.
The human body.
of a saxophone.
Of a tenor
sax.
He died in
2015.
Oh, man.
Look how thin he was.
Oh, he really got in great shape
towards the end of his life.
Hopefully his body wasn't ravaged by cancer.
Or a butterfly.
Uh, white dinner jacket
before lunch.
James Bond could do it all.
Yeah.
I forgot how much of this movie involves
checks.
I know.
There's glass of,
between them. I know that because
of a reflection. It's not very friendly.
So you time traveled here. That's fascinating.
People keep handing me trays.
Oh yes.
Polarized lenses.
What do they have to be so obvious though?
I would wear the shit out of those.
I was hoping to talk a little more.
I noticed you don't have scones on your face.
Would you like one?
I have the one that you can see.
They call me scarpine.
I'll let you guess about the rest.
All right.
Here we go.
Some real detective work here.
Watch this.
He unlocks the door with what is probably the key.
Yeah, wait a minute.
No gadget.
No need.
No gadget, no need.
He just has a key.
I mean, I feel like they really miss the boat here.
on gadget abilities.
But there's no shortage of gadgets.
I know.
Another check.
These checks are the key.
Oh, yeah.
I love a Louis Vuitton check photocopier.
Perfect.
What is the device?
Like, when Q designed that, what was it for?
This will allow you to scan any check put
and get a perfect copy of the previous check written.
Thanks, Q.
I guess I'll pack it, but I can't imagine needing it.
Always have an escape plan.
Yes, my monocle.
Have you seen it?
It's under the curtain that is your left eyebrow.
Oh, my God.
There's some heavy eyebrow action in this film.
Robert Browns are crazy.
Cues are a little extra crazy in this film.
Hi, you doc.
American.
This is my mute wife.
I don't know her name.
You know, when she walks in the room, it's a pan flute.
I heard there's a saxophone here.
I like me, her.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
I mean, really, he's a man of science
because he probably could have cured his own baldness
and taken an inch off of those eyebrows.
That's not even science. It's just scissors.
You tell that to the man who would
vented scissors that it wasn't science.
If there was a saxon playing every time she appeared on screen,
I would like this movie 17% more,
bringing it up to 117%.
Yeah.
Agreed.
That run-on sentence is insane.
That's amazing.
In regard it as a horse,
have you been into thoroughbeds well?
I'm from the KGB, but it's a saddle.
I do sound like I'm just from where I don't know.
Brooklyn or something.
I'm very strong.
I'm also Mitch Headberg.
You must really like Ty.
Rice is great.
If you're hungry and want
3,000 of something.
I like turtlenecks
because I like feeling
like I'm being strangled by a really weak guy.
Look at these people out on the
little boat out here.
Yeah, what do you want to know about them?
They're also time travelers.
There's also one of those old-timey time travelers just sitting down with regular people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
People in full costumes back there, just sitting.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, full fucking wig and poof.
I'm a geologist.
You'll find out later.
I'm interested in the perfect solo.
So far, I've narrowed it down to Beale Street and...
It's Paul Desmond.
I'll just tell you.
Oh, you hear the flute, Matt.
You're getting a little bit of your view to a kill.
Dropped in there.
That's my wife.
Helicopter.
That's very presumptuous of you, old man.
Nothing.
Just a sashay out of there.
If you were a real man doing what he just did,
uh-huh.
I mean, you'd be a monster.
By the way, you have one of the world's greatest secret agents and an expert in horse breeding.
Who do you send to sneak in?
Yeah.
Right.
Is it just because Bond would scare the horses and Godfrey Tibbitt knows what to do?
I don't know.
It just seems like bad riding.
That's right, Maybom.
Timbitt's just bored.
He's like he's sick of being pushed around and he wants to get.
Some shoe leather going.
He misses Emma Peel and True Adventure.
I got news for you.
Godfrey Tibbitt.
James Bond also misses him appeal.
Yeah, both of them.
Oh, no.
This is the jacket that Orla Bar Brown makes.
Have you ordered it yet?
No, I haven't gotten any of that stuff.
I got shoes and a polo.
Which shoes did you get, the little slippers?
I got the Thunderball shoes.
Ironically, the Thunderball shoes and the Thunderball
long sleeve polo.
I do like that jacket.
I don't know if it's Terry.
That jacket, I don't think anyone can pull it off except for 1957, I mean, 1985,
Roger Moore and-
Who is 57.
1998, James Gandalfini.
Two people who would look decent in that.
How do you feel about Bond driving the Aston Martin from Living
Daylights in the new bond 25.
With the same license plate.
Yeah.
I mean, it just all goes back to my theory.
I know that, but.
I feel fine about it, man.
I love that car.
Because it all fits into my theory.
And I hope to God he is not updated the radio.
So he sat there for at least eight hours, fake snoring.
You don't think someone in Kew Branch could loop that for them?
Yeah, I guess.
Of course, Carl Reiner's in this film.
I'm sorry, that was supposed to be Rob Reiner.
Oh, right.
Rob Reiner, not Carl Reiner. Come on, guys.
Get your Reiner straight.
Me.
I can tell from this note.
This horse has answered.
The microchip to do something.
I forgot.
Uh-huh.
It's a pretty good plan.
Do they test horses after races nowadays?
Or is it just before?
I'll tell you what.
I don't know, but I bet you they still don't test them for microchips.
I don't know either, but they're dying.
left and right out here at Santa Anita.
There's been like 30 horse deaths in the last year or two.
But think about the glue.
I'm just saying, Matt, if you want to make a good guitar,
you're going to need some hot hide glue.
I use a lot of hot hide glue.
I really contend with that.
That's a moral struggle.
But it is not, it's horse-free glue.
I only use a horse glue.
Then you're not using hot hide glue.
Oh, dumb-dum, Tibbet.
Why not just start the fucking belt again?
and then run away.
They'll be like,
oh,
it must have been
a momentary hiccup
in the belt.
Anyway,
back to what I was saying,
it's called stand by me.
I'll have what he's having.
He really does.
Yeah,
he does.
He does.
He does.
He does.
He does.
He looks like Elwood Blues
or whichever one
Dan Eckroyd is.
I love when
like the big guys
and the Bond movies
are always a little bit older.
Yeah.
They would never do that now.
It's always got to be
someone kind of
young.
He just politely lays down.
He literally just was like,
you know what,
I'm not going to win this.
Bo.
Is that fountain peeing into its own mouth?
I think it is.
She looks directly at the camera.
Look it.
I'm confused here.
Should he be losing?
I don't know,
but he can't even be bothered
to act like he knows what he's doing.
Look at that.
I'd pay no dollars
for one of those boxes.
But if given,
to me, I'd take it.
Hello.
What's that?
Hold on.
I'll get right to you.
What?
That is a funny.
That is a way to play it.
He really is leaning in for what are you saying?
I'm sorry?
I didn't quite catch that.
You're in a box.
Yeah.
Oh, you're in a box.
Maybe if you got out of the box.
Bup, bub, books.
If we decided, if that's their normal floorplay?
You think they normally do this?
Do you think whoever's pinned has to growl at the other person?
Well, yeah.
It's the first time he's not been pinned.
The safe ran out and I should be snoring.
Wait, what's...
Why have you stopped?
I've got to roll over here to the phone.
Well, then why pick it up, really, honestly.
Just let it go.
What kind of road is...
The size of those weights.
I love it.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no.
Why not use the key in your pocket to everything?
You're never going to make that.
Yes, he will. He's James Bond.
Yes.
Oh!
He did it.
Oh.
That bar, by the way, always there.
Yeah.
For that exact delightful reason.
Do they suspect he's James Bond, or do they just think he's an annoying person?
I think they're cautious, because he doesn't know until the morning.
Oh, she just put it together.
Well, you must take care of him.
Question.
Yeah.
How did her leotard disappear?
She took it off.
They showed her.
Oh, I didn't see that.
Was that a jump cut?
Yeah, definitely.
That's two for Jimmy.
What is he looking at?
Just a little snack.
I swear, I put crackers in here.
I'd like ice cream or cake, please.
There was a fudgy the whale in here.
It is not here.
Where is my cookie bus?
True East Coast reference there.
Sorry, Matt.
We can't all be from the best coast.
That's right.
I'm happy.
Yeah, I just wanted to know what you thought of these glasses.
I'm trying them out for this scene only.
Do you know anything about giant glasses?
Maybe ones that you can see through windows with.
The levers on them.
That's their worst commentary.
Everybody like it.
I'm having a good time.
Why not fire that up before you?
Yeah.
And whatever, he doesn't care.
He's Zorn.
Oh, he looks so wrinkly in that pixelated picture.
What is this database?
Is this the evil criminal database?
It must be.
This is evil criminal database.
How?
Are you offering me speed?
License to kill just scrolls across the screen.
What is that program?
Who designed it?
What was it connecting to?
I have so many questions about Zorran Industries.
Mayday, you're not going to believe this.
They're issuing licenses to kill.
I didn't really do anything, Tibbet.
You had already waxed it.
It probably just rolled right off.
Okay, I'm sorry, but we reload his riding crop every time.
Well, they've got to put new steroids in.
Right, but shouldn't they all operate on a similar frequency?
I guess if you want multiple.
It's liquid steroids like drugs.
Yeah, yeah, but the microchip does the thing, right?
But they should...
The microchip has a little like syringe.
It's all connected into one piece.
That's what they're showing in the...
Yeah, but is that...
It's all one unit that they...
But isn't the unit, the full unit injected into the horse?
No, I think...
So where does that thing...
Oh, maybe, yeah.
Where does that thing sit?
Because what I thought was, that button...
Yeah.
...would activate the microchip inside the horse to dispense the steroids.
I don't know, but it's good to have Davy Jones in this movie.
Well, you know, he's a believer.
Girl, look what you done to me.
Oh, Michelin Man Cameo.
That was me.
$5.00.
Is that what that gas station said?
I think.
Was there like a gas crisis I don't know about it in the 80s?
In Europe.
Europe.
Europe?
Oh, my God.
Oh, it's Jenny Flex, your best friend.
Can't do these morning commentaries.
You're off.
I gotta tell you, man,
the James Bonding email chain
is just popping off.
Oh, no, that's super ego.
Oh, thank God.
This is, we got to record an ad.
Ah, just like us.
Finally!
I love that he's a member of three car clubs.
What?
He had three medallions on the front of his Rolls Royce.
He's in three car clubs.
So not only does he love horses,
but he also loves his Rolls Royce.
That's Cubby's Rolls Royce.
is it yeah that's fucking great trivia right there you're not gonna get that from the commentary track
of the real people we probably are um but uh it's good to know
i've left i mean they just they honestly do look like um they look like jockeys because of
their broken noses and stuff but they're so mean looking gratis means free right okay splendid
look how happy scarpine was you know he lives every day for
this.
What a weird thing to have set up already.
We need to be able to lower and raise these on command.
I need you standing by.
What is this?
Well, I guess this would be to, you know, improve the horses over time.
Oh, is that an actual training device?
I don't know.
Look.
I'm not the one here into dressage.
That's you.
So, tell me.
Yeah, big, big dressage guy.
You know, Matt's been working on a saddle for my.
months. That's right. And I got to say, it's coming along great. It looks like a
finished backyard right now rather than a saddle, but I mean, DQed immediately right there,
right? He went under. Yeah. He's going to lose some seconds. Is there a judge? Does he just have
to cross the finish line first, I guess is my question. Yeah, good question. Oh, no, he just has to
stay the course. He doesn't even have to win. Oh, well. Scarpine has never been more into a horse
situation.
Oh, I see.
So he got some, this horse got
some wackadoos steroids.
Some wackadoos.
And then we get to the part where we think it's
Moonraker again and we're going to see a horror movie.
What if he just passes her like skeleton?
I would be so delighted.
And the dogs are still there.
I mean, let's honestly, here's my pitch to you,
Mr. Broccoli.
Why not?
have it be written into the film that he
bought that
from the moonraker guy
that he bought the property from the moonraker guy.
Because that's in Southern California.
But like he had it shipped back
to France.
It'd be pretty great.
I put it back in his rifle place.
Wait, I did?
You can't kill him again unless you know how to revive people from the dead, do you?
I'm very literal.
I'm like drag.
from Guardians of the Galaxy.
Everything's literal.
I love when Roger Moore gets sort of serious and offended.
I think in that performance right there,
he probably really imagined his good friend passing.
Oh.
I mean, I don't like what Scarpine did there right there, you know?
Jenny Flex has got a gun out.
Jenny's got a gun.
Duties just begun
I think about this scene
Probably more than any other James Bond scene in my life
Why really?
Yeah, just because
Just the idea of having to
Stay submerged and breathe the air out of a tire
Yeah
I gotta be honest with you
I don't know that I'd be able to press down
on the little thingy and breathe it in.
I'm not sure if it's possible.
I believe they did it on Mythbusters and it was possible.
Wow.
So this is not Cubby's car.
This, by the way,
the most boring part of the James Bond tram ride
is when you go by and watch the Rolls Royce go slowly into the water.
Instead of like the John's thing.
Exactly.
I wish, God, I wish there was a tram ride through James Bond.
that's what it should be.
Why isn't Pinewood doing that, by the way?
Oh my God.
And it's just a Rolls-Royce sinking over and over.
I mean, you talk about your fucking old guy having a great head of hair.
Yeah.
Michelin all over this movie.
No kidding.
I bet that Eiffel Tower restaurant had two or three Michelin stars.
Black and yellow is really her thing.
Well, they wanted her to be like a wasp, you know?
Is that what I did?
name in the movie was WOSP before they made it May Day.
No.
That's true.
That's part, that's true that it wasn't.
I think you're gushing me.
No, it's true that it wasn't true.
That's what I'm saying.
That's the saddest horse in the world right there, waiting for Godfrey Tivit to come back.
Oh.
Sir.
But happy he's about to get Dolph Lundgren.
Well, who wouldn't be?
I always forget.
Hey, I always forget he's in it.
In this part, I always remember him in San Francisco.
Yeah.
You know, helping out.
Look how young Dolph Lundgren looks.
I mean,
Dolf Lungren or Eric Trump?
Who is the first one?
Dolf Lunger,
he looks out of focus.
He looks out of focus.
He looks out of focus. He looks like Eric Trump.
I love this guy.
I like this way he resigns here.
I'm not,
I don't really think of myself like that anymore, so.
Physiological freak.
I also gave her the Captain America Ciroon.
Scarpeen, really.
He loves his job.
What won't that guy do, you know?
What won't he do?
Unsung acting hero in this movie for me.
Is he a little worried there?
I mean, he should be, right?
He knows the KGB.
Yeah.
Great set.
Collins Sound.
Provide sand.
He's right, and he's done that, yeah.
It's all odd.
Look at this.
He's got a Z on here.
How do I get a
initial on one of these?
Where's my
comparometer?
My diesel
operating.
What was it called
a microcomparator?
Comparator?
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Wee.
Look at the size of those microchips.
It took me six months
to program this
with the correct amount
of microchips
to hit the roof before it opened.
Is this the last time
you get a villain
building like a model that's kind of a display piece that is motorized.
And is there anything like this?
Hang on.
I know there's Brad Whitaker's like war models, but that's like a presentation.
I feel like there's also oil derricks or something like that in.
No, wait, that's Diamond's Forever.
Yeah.
I feel like, I don't.
I feel like world is not enough with the King oil lines.
There might be something.
It's been a while since I've seen it.
I want these like review.
Yeah, sure, of course.
Of course, you remember the long run we went on this with our big old crossover episode
of how did this get made and James Bonding.
We had a big old run about this model.
You can listen to that on Stitch or Prime.
Use promo code Bond.
If you're already a Prime member, good to hear your ears.
What?
by the way
this clearly
the season is clearly not over
oh yeah yeah
maybe you noticed
there's another one on your feed
a few more
she's so nice here
but she's so mean
because she's making him die
my room's not down here
love this
that's amazing
how big is the
miniature man
they drop out of that balloon
I love it
I think that might have been
life sex
no
I think that was miniature, miniature.
Oh my God.
The ragdoll physics on that ragdoll are out of control.
I love that shirt that he's wearing with that tie.
I didn't see it.
That is a nice, I like that shirt a lot.
That was a gray with white pinstripe shirt.
I remember Temple of Doom when all those like thuggy cult members fall from the bridge at the end,
that there was a real innovation in their dummies because they had like put pneumatic things into their joints.
So they would kind of move properly, but still didn't.
Look all that great.
Oh, hey, look at that.
When I go to...
Every January, when I'm at Sketchfest and bored, I walk over here.
I never think to look up the bond sites when I'm here,
because it's just, I always forget it's a bond location,
and I guess I've just been there enough times that it doesn't feel like a pilgrimage.
I would like for us to do a travel episode where we do hit up, like,
we just like, let's hit...
LAX.
We could hit the bond locations that are like local to us.
us, right?
Like, we could hit Vegas, LAX in San Francisco.
Yeah.
Are those the only three?
Within, like, yeah.
Okay, by the way,
for someone to come up here and ask for soft shell crabs,
for that to be the, this is the code word for this.
It's not good.
It's not specific enough.
Okay, I just wanted some soft shell crabs.
I really did.
I am, coincidentally, I am James Bond of MI6,
but I have all.
I want is crabs. I'm actually off the clock. I actually, I got a kitchenette in my hotel room.
Yeah. And there's already a pot on the boil. So get me these soft shell crabs. We'll talk later.
Yeah. And it's great that you know stuff that's specifically relevant to my case, but again, I'm off.
Six?
Wait, so you, you're clear on how many S. Sutton's there are, but you wanted soft shell crab as your co-com.
Do you know how many soft-shell crab enthusiasts there are?
too, how many days is he walking around with that envelope hoping for James Bond to show up?
I know.
Now, that Guinness World Record Museum thing of a jiggy, I believe it's still there.
Or it's the Ripley's now?
Or maybe they were both there.
Matt, when you were a kid, did you ever, your parents ever take you to the Niagara Falls?
The actual name?
Yeah.
No, I only went there for the first time last year.
Oh, wow.
But that pier, the way that pier is very much reminds me of Niagara Falls with the tourist
trap-y fun stuff there.
Oh yeah.
In fact, I didn't realize all that stuff was there at Niagara until I went.
It's crazy there.
You just thought it was where Clark and Lois really expressed their love for each other?
Yeah, that's why I went.
It was.
Your Superman 2 pilgrimages never stopped.
It was a Superman 2 pilgrimage.
Was it really?
Yeah, I did a little recording there.
Guys for phone jack?
Oh, that's great.
I'm Robert Shaw's brother.
They didn't go nowhere.
They just disappeared.
But since I'm part-time
Sea Santa, I'll allow it.
You see, I shave my beard
in the summer months.
And I put this hat on.
It looks kind of like Missana hat.
But it's not.
I'm Santa of the sea.
By the way, have you had any soft-shell crab
lately?
Oh, yeah. Well, here's what we need to do.
What's he doing?
Kennedy was killed by the mob.
Wait, what?
Let's see.
Oh, yeah.
It's the Ebert review of this.
What?
Where he just starts to like, what the hell is the point of this plan?
Yeah.
It's very astute.
Yeah, what is the problem again?
Well, you're flooding Silicon Valley,
but Silicon Valley are the people who use all.
your microchips so you're killing your customer base and your competitors.
I guess, yeah.
I mean, there's Japan.
Yeah, but come on.
Right.
We already dropped that guy out of a blimp.
That guy right there in the jumpsuit, he is 100% gunning for Scarpeen's job.
Yeah, and the lead singer of aha.
This guy's gunning for Matt Houston's job.
This is like watching Chernobyl all over again.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, look at that.
He's afraid of propeller blades and horses.
They don't even know that they're trying to suck James Bond into this,
which makes this kind of a thing just a waste of time for me.
You know what I mean?
Oh, I like this little moment.
It's like, how does James Bond deal with an accident?
This movie's so nostalgic that when I watch it, I smell red vines and popcorn from that summer.
Really?
I saw it probably two or three times in the theater.
I'm sure we've had this discussion before, Matt, but I'm going to ask it again.
Movie you've seen the most in the theater.
Bond movie?
No, just any of any movie.
Oh, man.
I feel like they're...
Well, I think I saw Platoon eight times in the theater.
Wow.
When I was in junior high.
Uh-huh.
I'm sure I saw Force Awakens a bunch of times.
Really?
Yeah.
You know, 9 is my record.
For what?
Phantom Menace.
that's that's rough
I think I saw it six times
let me tell you oh that's rough
I saw it six times
I only saw it two thirds as much as crazy man
you're fucking crazy
what's wrong with you
I would never do a seventh
that's insane I
how on the sixth time did you not learn your lesson
like I did well I'll tell you how we did it
it was walkable
we could walk to the movie thing
theater. You know, it was the summer of 99, 7, 8, I forget. And we learned which scenes to head out to
the movie theater arcade and play some games during all of them. Pod race was usually our
go-to, let's get the fuck out of here. You just wanted the political and taxation scenes.
You know, I have always been a fan of political intrigue. I am too. I don't hate those scenes.
I don't either.
I mean, really, you think about it.
It's like the backstory we never asked for, but it's there.
Yeah.
What happened to the Republic?
I look at those movies as just like research material.
Like academic texts for the original trilogy, you know?
I'm confused.
That guy is, oh, that's the KGB guy.
So they think they got him.
Yeah.
And really, James Bond is there.
Scarpine, what, why is he so familiar?
Oh, maybe it's,
The fact that I've seen this movie 9,000 times.
Let's look up Scarpine.
See what else he did.
This morning I was telling Henry about James Bond.
I was going to, I'm going to go talk about James Bond for a while.
Show me to have a picture of my son.
Well, first of all, I put Scarpine into IMDB and it didn't come up as a character,
and that's really upsetting.
You're telling me he has no memorable quotes.
Or gaffs.
Or gaffes.
why that's funny
Patrick Bachow
That's his name
Yes oh god he's in everything
What
Well let me tell you right now
Panic Room
Oh he looks good
The cell
Who is he in Panic Room
He plays the room
Oh my shit
Creepers
He's been 146 things
What most recently would I recognize
Megashark versus Colossus
Definitely the thing you most remember him
from. Big ass spider.
Satellite of love.
Get the gringo.
He's Belgium.
That's good to fun.
That's a fun bit of joy.
Whatever extraordinary measures from 2010 with Harrison Ford and
Brendan Fraser is, I might have to check that out.
Isn't that like, isn't that, um, that movie where he goes,
Harris Ford's like, never tell me the measures.
I got a bad measure about this.
Now, this was supposed to be Barbara Bach.
And it should have been Barbara Bach.
1,000 percent.
It would make slightly 100,000 more bits of sense.
Who seduce who?
I'm still looking up what scarpine is in.
When I send three dozen red roses,
it means I know that they're sending you to seduce me.
Two dozen means that I'm going to seduce you.
He's in the cell?
Also, have you tried the soft shell?
Holy Man with Eddie Murphy
I forgot that movie existed until right now
Clear and present danger
I've seen that movie a bunch of times
I don't remember him in that
He's present
Yeah
Matt
How many times have you ever been in one of those
Cedar hot tubs?
Not enough, I can tell you that much
Answer for me is zero
I love the smell of cedar
You can, I know that's controversial
But you can put me down on the record
What's your preferred wood
scent-wise?
Scent-wise?
Yeah, when cutting.
Cedar.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
We talked over it, but there it was.
I put up a little cedar, like a little garden shed outside, and every time I go into it, I never leave.
It's fact, we're recording that in here right now.
You had to find me in there.
Yeah.
Well, it's not really finding you.
I know you're there.
Yeah.
I was cutting some rosewood the other day.
Oh.
And, uh, for a guitar?
Forget the floor.
Yeah, a bridge.
Nice.
Um, the floral.
scent of rosewood. It's remarkable how much it smells like roses.
Holy shit. Scarpeen's real name, Patrick, Nicholas, Jean Sikste, Gislein, Boucho, was born in Brussels, Belgium.
His father is Henry Boucho and noted author, psychoanalyst, and philosopher.
I love it.
Coming from an intellectual family, it's not surprising that Bouchard won an academic scholarship
to Oxford University where he's received a degree in modern languages.
And on his, the day he graduated, we want you to be in the Lost James Bond movie of Roger Moore.
I'm still reading here.
I love this look to each other they give.
Look at that.
He worked with Salvador Dali, constructing large pillow-like animal sculptures.
Well, who among us can't write that down to our resume?
I love Vinodian right to himself every time.
Silicon Valley in three days.
Main strike?
Also, Bishow plays the villain in the Bonflict of you to a kill.
That's kind of bold.
Well, if it wasn't someone so, so, what would I say?
Scene stealing as Christopher Walken, I'd usually allow that kind of thing.
But he's not the villain.
Yeah.
He's certainly the best actor in the movie.
You know, how he'll pause before every line just to remember what he's supposed to say.
Well, because he speaks six languages.
He has to remember first what language he's speaking.
You probably did each one.
In his bio is he holds passports in three countries, including the USA.
I think that's for anyone who's looking him up to hire him in a movie.
Right.
When not busy with acting, Bishow lives in a small village outside Paris and in Malibu, Lake, California,
where he is an avid gardener, reader, and art collector.
He is married to Mijanou Bartreau, Brigitte's sister.
Whoa.
They have five dogs and an adult daughter that lives in Rome.
That is the most thorough bio.
Even their daughter is fancy.
I love it.
Look how great he looks, though.
He does look.
He looks like Game of Thrones,
the red-haired guy who's old.
Oh, Charles Dance?
Yeah, it looks like Charles Dance.
Look at it when he was younger.
Guys, this is then the Scarpene appreciation commentary track.
Look at that.
I could only hope.
By the way, Patrick Bichow, I know we've retired that podcast, Matt, but
and I was there too with Patrick Bishow, seems like it could go for years.
I would love that.
I wonder if he's nice.
That's who you should do.
You know what you should do.
You shouldn't do this because you're busy man and don't do this.
Okay, but suggestion.
Yeah.
Pick an actor.
Someone like a Stephen Tobolowski.
Uh-huh.
And Doe and I was there too, but about each project.
Oh my God.
That would take years for him.
That is, by the way...
This is the house from Fantasm.
Well, did you see how quickly that shade went up?
It was like there was a phantasm inside the home.
Oh, it might have been.
She could have got up the stairs.
He really didn't have to climb up this porch.
Like, there was,
no reason.
I figure where this house is.
It's somewhere.
Isn't it in like Golden Gate Park?
I don't know.
Something tells me...
Something tells him.
Dunsmeier House.
Oh, maybe it's just in England.
Although it looks American Victorian.
I don't know.
Let's see.
I'm looking it up.
Matt's a looking up location.
It's locations with Matt.
It's in Oakland.
Oh, man, have you ever called your car the Mattmobile?
Never.
Okay, because I did it yesterday.
I did it yesterday and I'm never going to stop doing it.
That's pretty great.
It's also in burnt offerings with Betty Davis and Oliver Reed, Fantasm,
and Mike Myers, so I married an axe murderer.
Oh.
What do you think about that?
Pipe better down.
Remember that?
Remember that at the wedding reception, so I married an axe murderer?
A lot of drunk Scottish people played by Mike Myers.
Little did we know, we were watching his audition reel for Shrek.
This is a real me-to moment here.
Yeah, I agree.
When you have...
In more ways than one, she's going to shoot him.
What is that...
Let me ask, Matt.
I'm not familiar with the fancy showers.
What is that brass rack in the shower?
Is it a steam system?
Oh, maybe it's one of those things of like,
more streams of water.
Yeah, I don't know myself.
I know.
Your house that you grew up in,
uh,
was it,
is how old construction wise,
was it?
It was 1950s.
Oh, okay.
So it was,
yeah,
ours was too.
But there was a,
you know,
so many houses in Massachusetts
are like,
super old.
1700s.
Yeah,
1800s.
There's a wig on that guy.
You know,
yes.
Tani Roberts gets,
a bad rap in this movie. It's the character.
I don't think she's so bad. I agree.
I agree.
It's one of those things we're like,
what is that wig? That's crazy.
It's like a Harpo Marx wig.
Yeah, but he could be like, it feels like
these guys feel like they're out-of-work mob tufts.
Yeah, well, I think they're out-of-work stuntmen
where they're just like grandfathering all the stuntmen in
that's been with this franchise since Dr. No.
But that wig is just so horrible.
kiddie.
But don't you, like, I mean, I've seen so many old guys
and that have that fucking wig.
Like, that wig to me is a very Boston mob.
There's no way they mean that to be.
Do you think they are like apologizing that guy right now or they were planning on leaving
him in the dust?
You know what I miss Matt?
Traff shooting.
We should do it.
Yeah.
You're welcome. No ashes anywhere. No, it wasn't.
How do you know, right? That she didn't bring them to some sort of China maker who didn't fire his ashes into that, you know?
I never died. I live here. I'm in this painting. Look at my eyes.
It's, I smoke and it's one cigarette ashes that I put in there.
Anyway, who's this boy? Soft-shelled crab.
I believe it's time for a key.
maybe she's not
no no this is the kind of thing
like so this comes up a lot
when I'm doing the Star Trek podcast
where you have these characters
these side characters that come in
and they're given just the worst dialogue
and my defense of these people
is always like how would you say that line
I mean it's so
it's like that line right
like this is a paragraph
of dialogue of just exposition
that she has to give
in not a natural way
Yeah, she's given no character all exposition.
Here's what I would do, by the way.
Don't worry, I have a copy of that check, a perfect copy.
Also, if I'm Jay's Bond, I'm like, here's the deal.
I'm probably going to kill this guy.
Why don't you cash that now?
Right.
You know what I mean?
It's like, your problems are going to be over in a second.
I have to take this guy down anyway.
Just cash it.
Yeah.
Kitty did her business
I'm Mr. Orne did you approve of my dog check person
Yeah yeah just cash it
I'm happiest cashing checks
I've got to go James Bond's outside my blimp
Normally you shoot the woman with the soft
I was just thinking that
Oh my God it's like Barbara Walters is interviewing
Barbara Walters
That's how soft a lens is there
You know, though, I will say he's very shootable.
I feel like there are angles where we don't need this lens.
Yeah.
No, I love him.
God, I just love the way he looks.
It is bizarre to me, though, that they wouldn't go at this time, you know, with like a,
I mean, like a 45-year-old female actress?
Yeah, it is strange.
I don't know who that is of the time.
And the heels of Mod Adams, who wasn't that old, but she was probably in her...
She's age appropriate.
Mid to late 30s.
I mean, barely.
For Bond.
Wasn't he like late 40s?
In Octopus?
Yeah.
No, he was 55.
Oh, God, that guy looks so good.
Every year I see him, I'm like, oh, he must be 23.
But no.
I don't know how old she was in that, but probably, I mean, certainly in her 30s.
I'm going to tell you right now, Matt.
Yeah.
Mod Adams in 1983.
It's actually Molina have a lot.
Carol Bucay from For You Eyes Only, who has the greatest age discrepancy with Roger Moore.
Right, but she's not really, that one's played for what it is, though, right?
Wouldn't you say?
They get it going in and out.
They put it in and move it around.
It's not just soaking.
Okay, so.
He's a real gentleman here.
She was 38 years old in octopus.
Okay, yeah, that's up there for a bond girl.
Honor Blackman was older than Connery,
but she was like early 40s, right?
Or was she late 30s?
I'll tell you in a second, pal.
What are we looking for?
1964?
Yeah.
By the way, let's just take a second to acknowledge that Honor Blackman.
Still going strong.
She's 93 years old right now.
Right.
She's crushing it.
Yeah.
In 1964, she was 39 years old.
Right.
And Connery was probably like...
36 or 37?
Yeah.
Wait, why now?
Also, we should tape that check back together.
I know how these things end.
That is a great outfit, by the way.
Yeah.
That is like...
I wish Diane Feinstein would do like a Hitchcock cameo
where she just gets on the elevator.
She was the one that made all this happen.
There's Howell Holbrook back there.
You know, Mark Twain.
I've been thinking about it
Oh no
We got to tell Holbrook
He's talking about Mark Twain in this elevator
Well I'm just thinking I'll make a career out of it
Then the elevator opens and it's just picking up
Hewel Hauser, it's an H.H.
What's this?
Wow!
Hell Holbrook!
Huh?
Have you been a Knott's Berry farm?
The chicken is made by hand.
They've got Mexican food.
Now, Hal, have you ever, have you ever,
ever been on the Mark Twain Riverboat
over at Disneyland?
James Bond
in Annah, California?
I've heard of you.
That's fabulous.
Have you been to the
Hugo Drax Mansion in Southern
California?
By the way, my favorite,
look this up at home kids,
my favorite Hewelhazer clip
is him at Pink's
Hot Dogs, probably in like
1979.
And Tony Danza shows up
just to get Hot Tud.
dogs like literally not planned at all and it's Hewlerhouser going like Tony Tony Danza from taxi
Tony how what are he coming down here to Pinks for and he's like I just came down here for a dog
you know I like a good dog it's really cock blocked Hewelhouser it's a terrific oh no I was just at a bar
called big wangs which ironically is not a gay bar but he Hewelhouser was gay and he was I think
putting the moves on this this younger man and I was just so enamored of Hewelhouser I went over and
like you're Hewel How you doing?
totally got in the way. I didn't realize until after. Do you like my show because you laugh at it or what?
No, he didn't ask that to me. He was good humor about it. But then he was like, I just bought a place on the way to Vegas called Volcania. And you drive up a mountain and it's like a bond villain's house. You and your friends ought to come out.
True story. Oh my God. You should have come out and like blown him or something.
Or something. Or something. I don't know. Maybe he just
wanted friendship.
Yeah.
You allowed him to fight to a volcanic lair?
You go.
I know.
You go.
And he was by himself driving in his like convertible sports car.
He might as well have been doing a episode of the show.
That guy really just, you know, seem to enjoy everything.
I do.
In a way, in a way that I envy, honest to God.
Glass of water.
Wow.
That comes out of the ground.
Do you drink it?
How much, how much you pay for that water?
And where can I get one of these?
here I've moved this light for you.
I'm James Bond.
By the way, you probably know who that is, but if you don't, Hewielhouser was a local
Oh, yeah, I forget he's a California local.
And he would just do these walk around and meet people in places, things.
And it was very inconsequential.
It wasn't strange.
What wasn't strange?
I mean, it was very PBS, you know?
It was just very simple and kind of innocent.
it.
Think of Steve,
what's his face is Europe.
You know,
that guy that would travel,
go to Europe and sell it to,
you know, PBS.
Oh, no.
Anyway, think of that show,
but with someone
who enjoyed himself,
himself.
He's a psychopath.
I'm diagnosed.
I love when Roger Moore
really chooses to act.
Rick Steves.
Oh.
Remember that guy?
Yeah.
He came into the Apple store
once.
I was starstruck.
Rick Steves,
Ruth, Chris,
all these weird names
of people. Ruth's Chris
Steakhouse. It's never made sense
to me. This poor guy.
Rick Stee is, remember Europe? He'd always go
around Europe and like PBS it up.
Yeah. No, he's got packaged tours
we can buy. Do you think he's got a James Bond theme
tour? He better. By the way, this scene, I always
think of Robocop. Why?
Because do you remember in Robocop
when he's outside of
I believe this building
even though it's Detroit
and
somebody has taken the mayor hostage?
and Robocop uses like his heat vision,
but it's Paul Verhoven, right,
and it's practical effects.
So what they did was they shot the people painted
like heat vision.
Yeah.
Anyway,
I always think of that scene
when I see this scene.
I'm just coming up with this
off the top of my head right now.
It's pretty cool, right?
Yeah.
Well, hang on.
I've got a dead copy of me right.
I want you two to enter
as soon as you had a gunshot.
Just make sure it wasn't me.
It's one of my
KGP skills.
This movie, by the way,
a thousand times better than
Licensed to Kill.
Yeah.
It's not taking anything away
from license to kill.
No, no, no.
It's just so good.
They had to ADR this, right?
You can't record in a marble room.
I love, you know, the subtle James Bond acting he's doing.
He assessed the elevator the second he got in it.
what a weird clock
now what happens at B o'clock
five hours in a day
I already don't have enough time in the day
now there's a drink
now what happens when you throw that
wow
this is now the worst commentary
how's that light getting in there
I mean
I mean you know
I think when the door here's
my actual pitch on how that light's getting in there.
When a door is open, when the elevator door,
and the elevator is not at it, an emergency.
An emergency light goes on.
That's what I've decided.
Wait, I didn't realize I was trying to burn marble.
I know.
There's nothing to burn it out of all.
Just the fat, just the wax off the floor is melting at the end.
Deal concrete and marble.
Intuitive thinking, but not great with materials.
Intuitive.
improvisations, a byproduct of being a Nazi brain experiment and a KGB.
I'm a Nazi baby.
Watch Nazi babies this Saturday on the CW.
It's great as right after the Muppets.
Little Herman Gering is so adorable.
We, uh, well, we lack in imagination we make up for an order.
And efficiency.
and intuitive improvisation.
You know, every time a cable like that
breaks because of fire...
An angel gets its wings?
It's incorrect.
Oh.
There he is.
There's our boy.
I've never seen a building look more
like it has fake wells of fire.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
How are we going to do this, John?
Well, hell Covey, I was thinking we possibly just put a couple of flames up there.
It's the same when they come out of the big temple at the end of Last Crusade,
and they just clearly just do one big puff of dust.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, I want you to know.
Petra.
There's literally nothing wrong with that movie.
Wow.
I love that movie.
I like it, too.
I like it more than the superior movie.
Raiders of the Lost Ark.
No way.
Yeah.
I think that Raiders is a lot of the movie.
a superior movie.
Yeah.
I will admit that.
Yeah.
But I like Lasker's Aid more.
I see.
Controversial, I know, but Indiana Jonesing will be coming soon.
Well, I have that feeling of Paul Ruff.
Return of the Jedi over Star Wars, where Star Wars is obviously the superior movie, but
I enjoy watching Return of the Jedi more.
I'm not going to knock you for it.
Yeah.
You know?
Honestly, God, I think enjoyment-wise, I might enjoy watching View to a Kill more than I
enjoy watching Casino Royale.
Well, right.
Intellectually, I know.
Yes.
Yes.
Casino Royale's a superior film.
Yeah, I agree.
That's why I love this series because there's one of those or like 10 of those, you know.
Do you want like a really good film this time or do you just want to have some junk food, you know?
This is the juiciest burger with a shake and fries.
Yeah, this is something we would order at the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas.
Or like, this is like in and out or shake shack where Casino Real is, you know, like a fine steak.
Interesting, interesting, interesting.
I'm always going to enjoy the fine steak more.
Well?
But sometimes I might be in the mood for a shake shack.
Right.
I hear what you're saying.
Ah, classic this guy.
Cipowitz.
John McLean.
I'm going to do a welcome.
Are you laughing or are you, what is this, what is happening?
All right, Tadier Robinson.
I'm giving you another chance, though.
Matt's gone to P.P.K.
Every time a fire hose is on a screen,
he can't help himself.
That guy, okay, first of all, we have a drunk guy,
and then we have the hopped-up cocaine business guy from Die Hard, obviously.
This orchestral arrangement at the dance end of the fire moments,
I think is actually a great scoring.
And to make that obvious, what would we call him, a hobo?
to make him drop his full bottle of pure liquor out of control.
There's a guy in that shot of the crowd,
you know, next time on your own, go back and look at it.
Top left of that crowd shot with a pipe in his mouth,
and he looks exactly like the henchman from die another day.
so that's my
that's my little
gloft
but a moft
I like the yes thanks
yeah
no I'm laughing at the
first of all man I found a
nice gloft for you
what's that
there's a guy if the crowd scene where they're
taking Howe's body
out of the
out of the building
who
how
uh
the, yeah, city planner how.
When they're taking his body out of the building, there's a big crowd shot.
And there's a guy top left, and the shot goes by so quickly that you cannot, there's no world where you convince me this isn't him.
Top left, guy with a pipe in his mouth, 100% looks like the guy who designs the gadgets for Colonel Moon and Diner the day.
for Gustav Graves.
He beat your time, sir.
Oh, yeah.
Hey boss.
That guy?
That guy.
Definitely in the crowd shot.
Well, we know Maude Adams is in there.
Oh, in the crowd shot?
Yeah, that's where she shows up.
I didn't even acknowledge that or point that out to the viewers.
That's true.
I don't know where she is exactly.
Now, Matt, you're doing a lot of temperature controlling.
Just turning on the fan because the house is stuffy.
I've been there.
Could be me.
I slept an hour.
Didn't shower.
No.
our house gets stuffy around this time
stuffy o'clock was that disclosed when you purchased the house
no oh my god yeah i know we're currently in a
something you should know about this home is it gets stuffy right about this time
it's haunted by stuffy stuffy luffy gifts
imaginary to most but real to the homeowners at this time
look a welcome change from j w pepper we've moved north
doesn't this remind you of superman
too, like this, it has the same
wacky tone. Well, I think what you're
thinking about is the fact that it all
it looks the same.
Like the movies look the same. Yeah.
There's still rear projection shots.
It's nighttime. There are
fire truck lights. You know what I mean? Like,
and all the rear projection they're using.
The wackiness of it. That shell station
is still there. Comic beats.
Really? Yeah.
Oh, love a Chevron.
I like an AMPM, Matt.
Like, you didn't get
much electric guitar like this in your bond scores.
Oh, I didn't even hear it.
I thought it was a horn.
It's just little accent notes here and there.
These two.
Come on.
A couple of hippie-dippies left over from Jefferson Starship.
That's like stolen from, have you ever seen, uh-oh?
You're getting a phone call, pause it everybody.
That's all right, no, just for three seconds.
Okay, you're good.
The movie should not stop.
Did you know, by the way, which I didn't know that?
There's a Do Not Disturb on your computer.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
How do you do that?
See that notifications thing on the top right corner?
Click on it.
Now scroll up all the way.
There you go.
Turn on, Do Not Disturb.
Wow.
It'll go till 8 p.m.
Well, yeah, I don't even know what Nightshift does.
I think it just color shifts.
It does.
It changes it yellow.
But do not disturb.
Let me tell you.
Love it.
Lifesaver when recording podcasts.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
But does that mean you won't get it.
emails?
You won't see them.
They'll come in, but you won't see them come in.
But for someone like you who keeps the cleanest email box on the planet, that's okay.
Someone like me who has 44,000 emails.
I have...
I'll tell everyone.
You have one email.
That is keeping my email box clean because I don't want to be bothered and keeping cables
out of my eyesight.
I, you know what?
I'd love you to come over and fucking take some cable ties.
and go ham.
It's going to need more than cable ties.
Look, we'll cover it up.
We'll build some boxes, whatever we've got to do.
Sometimes you've got to go in the wall.
I'm happy to do it.
I've got some nitrousololololus lacquer at home waiting for a home.
Oh, my God.
Late period, Dan Aykroyd is confused by these cars.
My car!
My car!
That guy's still chasing James Bond.
He finds him in San Francisco.
That guy, he broke my cow in half.
My car.
Oh, that would be, Matt, I got to tell you right now, that would be the most horrifying thing to me.
Really?
I'd rather do that than be in the fire elevator.
I'd rather be in a fire elevator, honest to God.
This works out, because we have to choose.
I mean, they're dead, they're dead, and now he fucking hits the goddamn thing?
That bridge operator?
Gone.
That doesn't seem legal.
making an employee pay for a car out of their paycheck.
Well, he runs a tight ship cap.
That cap.
Sarge.
I don't know what he is.
Lieutenant.
Chief.
Phil.
I mean,
realistically, what they do?
Drive an hour and a half?
Yeah, if that.
Well, it's probably, yeah, very late at night.
I get it.
They can't see you.
They'll know.
They'll know it's the checkman.
All right.
I'm the leather.
jacket fireman.
It's like he had one of those
child guns that has a boxing glove
on the end of it.
It just boxes you in the face.
Or tiny puppet with kangaroo boxing.
You know, those tiny puppets.
Yeah.
Pretty good joke.
Some movies recently did something like this.
Well, Raiders the Lost Ark has the coat hanger thing
that's kind of a similar.
Yeah.
I mean, think about Raiders the Lost Ark
only, what, three years before this?
two years?
That was an 80?
Yeah.
Why did I think it was 82?
81.
Sorry.
81.
4 years.
Cubby Broccoli loved
moustachioed American extras.
I know.
Who got speaking lines.
Yeah.
All right.
If he's American, though, we're going to put him in a mustache, right?
Yeah, he's got to be.
It's got to be in a mustache.
It's impossible to find American actor with that one.
John, listen.
He's going to be in a mustache.
These are the days of Tom Selleck.
Look, I said no to Selleck.
I made a mistake.
Roger's doing his last.
picture. Let's throw it in there. By the way, Indiana Jones with Tom Selleck.
What? Indiana Jones with Tom Selleck. Yeah. What do you think? No, not into it.
You don't think it ever would have worked. Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones. Yeah, he is now. I think
it would have worked, but not. I think it would have been a very, we'd be in a debt, we'd be in a
different world right now. I don't think so. I think he's got the Brosnan problem. Really? Yeah.
I mean, you've seen Blue Bloods?
I haven't.
Have you seen Firewall or Hollywood Homicide?
We wouldn't have those movies, or likely we would have gotten them sooner.
What about extreme measures?
Would we get a picture like that?
With Scarpine.
This set's incredible.
Just think that this and the Temple of Doom set, the Mind Set, which is a year earlier,
they really should have communicated.
Well, I think also, you know, if you think about the,
Dragon guarding the bank and Harry Potter, probably the same set.
Maybe.
But these are just a year apart.
Look at that.
Although I got to go with the Indiana Jones set.
It's just laid out better, I think.
You know, man, I haven't watched Temple of Doom all the way through since 1988.
No.
Guaranteed.
You're missing out, friend.
Well, someday we'll discover it together.
I just purchased the three of them on your Amazon Prime.
Your prime video.
Crystal Skull, Young
Indiana Jones Chronicles, Volume 1.
And Sahara.
No, no.
And 40 days of night.
Alan Cordermane.
What's that movie called?
Oh, when he's on an island with Anish.
I'm like, I don't believe this.
Harrison Ford's never going to crash a small plane.
How am I going to buy into this?
He flies the millennia falco.
This is not supposed to be disturbed.
Did you feel disturbed by that, by the way?
I don't think you ever turned it on.
I did.
I thought you were gun-shy about it.
Oh, it's on.
Look at you go.
I love to not be disturbed.
That is true.
You love not being disturbed and not leaving your house.
Yeah.
It's true.
You're just, you know, me, but better looking at the taller.
No.
That's great.
I'm only you, but not at your house.
It's so true.
You're me, but with so much less stuff around.
It's almost like you tried.
It's just packed in tighter.
Look, he's got a key to everything.
Text tool.
I mean, they're literally right now breaking that rule.
They are unauthorized.
Yeah.
And they're in that room.
That bomb looks like a droid.
Another.
Do you think it has a bad motivator unit?
This artillery has a bad motivator.
This movie's very timely for Southern California right now.
We've just had two big earthquakes.
How are you doing with that?
Well, I'm fine, but the Sean Connery fell and his leg broke.
Do you see why he's standing kind of weird?
My goal for you.
You know, I didn't notice.
Yeah.
But now that I'm looking at it, he looks like he's action ready.
It doesn't even look like he's standing weird.
He's got like a titanium hip now.
You know, and I did, Matt, that night of the big roller,
where Dory jumped under the table.
And my dog just looked at her and went and got a drink of water.
And I stood in the doorway just in case I needed to go get Henry.
Yeah.
I spent then the evening securing, I had to build a couple of brackets to secure those very tall bookcases in our dining room.
Yeah, you better.
You've got crazy bookshel.
Yeah, into, I secure them into the studs.
That's good.
That's good.
Do you think Zorn knows they could have done this easily on paper?
I'm sure.
No, no.
Just build a model.
I like model.
I'm happiest in the model.
I'd also like it to be slightly topographical.
If you could show me where the hills are.
Dimension.
How much of that is forced perspective or what's going on there?
I love it.
It's just a lot of grips moving bags in, empty bags.
Info.
It does look like a droid.
It looks like a fucking imperial snow droid.
Pro droid.
I called it a snow droid.
Come at me, everyone.
She knows the button to hit if they go off.
Let me hit the if they go off button.
Yep.
When is the spring died on May Day?
God, if only he had a cell phone with a decent signal in there.
Yeah.
And listen.
I didn't need kick it in the first place.
My hand.
I'd rather shoot blindly into a room than open the door.
Get him.
What are you doing?
standing here, Jenny Flex.
Boy, that was so obviously not Jenny Flex.
Don't wait all day, May.
You've got it wrong.
What if it wasn't Bond?
No, those have been there for a long time.
No type of love, Dr. Jones.
I know.
Wait, what?
Rats.
I hate these guys.
Molaram, sukkaram, rom, rom, rum.
Mola rum shuka rum.
I gotta tell you, I think the Foley guy went a little overboard with those footsteps.
It sounded like there were 17 footsteps when it looked like there were three steps taken in the scene.
Oh, God, you know, every time I almost fall down a well, I think of the great casino royal episode.
In a well.
In a well.
Let me sidestep around it.
Stop disturbing me, email.
It's not disturbing you, though.
It's not, did it make a sound?
Do they have a restraining?
Did it make a sound?
No, but.
You know, when the henchmen are multicultural, I feel like James Bond always has a
harder time.
Why?
Because his one-liners are either terrible or racist.
Yeah.
So, let's see what he does here.
He makes an ally.
Come on.
I should have really let you go first, but you're lighter.
You're in more danger than me.
But anyway, sorry.
I broke your ladder.
Nice to meet you.
Many leaves.
With a jet pack.
Here comes our boy.
You should always have the Thunderball jetpack at the ready.
Mascarpino cheese.
I brought you this in this little case.
Do you like it?
No, he does not even care about the case.
I thought he would like the case.
I made the case myself.
He doesn't even look at the case.
Mayday,
and my men.
Scarpeed, no.
I mean, does Skarpine show no loyalty for that guy who was also loyal?
Scarpine is only loyal.
To one man?
To Zoran.
No, no.
German doctor.
That's who he's actually loyal to.
That's a secret story.
What did he just blow that wasn't the main thing?
What did he just blow that wasn't the main thing?
He didn't blow the main thing.
Right.
That has to be put on to some sort of thing that May Day can,
jump in and out of.
By the way, it's a compassion
that Bond rarely shows
henchmen here.
Yeah, it's true.
Oh, no, that's
two of our main henchmen.
Why, you still got your gun?
Well, just in case it just shoot
any of the water coming towards them the other way.
I shot and killed the water.
You can shoot water?
That's amazing.
What do you use?
Just like a Glock?
A fire bullet?
Like, this is insult to injury a little bit here.
Well, it's just like, you know, this guy hasn't been bad enough, really.
We should probably just kill a bunch of workers with an Uzi for no, literally no reason.
Scarpine, he let Scarpine get in...
Like, what is he doing?
Is he like, oh, no, if one of these people get out, I guess?
They'll tell on me.
Miniatures, regulars.
I love models.
falling down.
Look at how good this old wood is it would make a lovely bookers.
A recycled wall above my headboard like Chip and Joanna and Magnolia collection.
What I love about them is rustic farmhouse.
She won't put up with his antics and it's really thrilling.
She won't put up with an antics or say no to another child.
That was a cool shot.
Jumping into the...
Jump into the water.
The river flows.
Because he's Christopher walking.
He's shooting you
with a view to a kill.
Oh, maybe that's where the title came from.
I can't remember what the book view to a kill means.
That guy.
Ah, Matt, we should have squibed you for this movie.
Oh, would have loved it.
Why didn't we cut you into this film?
Guys, let's do an extended cut of every movie.
We'll put Matt Gourley and some squibs in each movie.
Right on schedule.
I have the British pronunciation for that one word.
I don't know why.
I also spell favorite with a U.
But only a U.
And license should have come across with an S.
We apologize for our last episode was misspelled, and we fixed it.
That's a true story.
but also this guy caught so many fish
now that the lake has dried
I was obviously shot in England
that guy's so English what part of that
what tipped you off
jeez
yeah
scarpeen's finally happy
I think scarpine's in love with them
oh a thousand percent
that's supposed to kill you you know
see that floating guy
he was in the earlier scene
I want one of these in my backyard
so fucking Matt
in a second I would help you paint that garage and turn into the Zorn Shack.
In one second, I would drive you to fucking Benjamin Buttons.
Benjamin Button paints.
They come dry and then you wait a few years.
Oh, yeah.
I love an inflation activation.
No, seriously, we got to get you that sign.
I know.
Slap that onto your garage.
Fuck it.
I'm going to make that sign for you.
I, you know, Matt, I'd like to, do you still have the view to a kill poster I got you?
Oh, yes.
Do you have it tubed still?
Uh-huh.
I now have the greatest framing place of all time.
I know you've told me about that.
And I'd like to get it framed for you as part of the gift.
I can't.
I mean, it was seriously technically my wedding gift to you, an original view to a kill poster.
So I'd like you to choose a frame.
I want to come with me.
We'll get that thing framed together.
We'll do an episode.
They have framed all my James Bond posters.
I know they look amazing.
These guys do great work.
Hollywood Studio Gallery, if you're looking, tell Matt Myrus sent you.
There you go.
Look how happy he is.
I mean, he's so happy to be with Scarpine and his dad.
His family.
Those three are the only people he's ever needed.
Yeah.
He's really happy.
His plan worked.
You must have at some point in 1986 or seven had an RC blimp.
I never had a blimp.
No, I had a car, but not a blimp.
I never had one of those good cars either.
I had like a Radio Shack one.
Well, you know, I was always like grateful not to have a Tyco car because when I found out
how long you had to charge those batteries, I was like, well, I would not.
I wouldn't be able to wait for the fun.
I know.
Eight to 12 hours.
I was like, what?
Yeah, that's ridiculous.
You expect me.
Oh, these three.
In a way, I want this to be the end of the movie.
I know.
I was just thinking.
They just drive off.
You don't often get to see the villain.
thinking their plan is going to work or is working. Usually it's foiled earlier. Are there any
others like this? I mean, but what does he gain out of this besides microchip domination?
That's it, buddy. He just wants more money. It's always money, guys. People are evil.
Are there other other ones where they think it's like, well, I'm sure like, you know, in Moonraker,
there's like a half a second where he thinks that Bond has been disposed of. You know, there's always like
the moment they think Bond has already been disposed of, but isn't. But, but it's.
but we don't really get to sit with him long enough.
No.
But that is a very interesting and unique part of this movie.
And Matt, I appreciate you pointing that out during this commentary track for our loyal listeners.
You got it.
This is obviously Jesus moment.
Now, when we're talking about sets, let's mention this one.
Fortress of Solitude made of Dirt and Explosives.
I think they just came in after Superman 2 and Sproul.
Bray painted everything.
Yeah.
Found Marlon Brando sleeping.
After Superman won.
You're making a James Bond picture?
I'll be here for you.
Louisville.
Who's your friend?
She's beautiful.
I'm not sure I have one.
Why did Siri just something?
Siri said, thought you said,
what is Louisville's, who's your friend?
What is Louisville's, who's your friend?
on first anyway.
Okay.
It's got to exist somewhere.
And if it doesn't, it needs to exist.
I want an action figure of James Bond on that thing.
I want Mayday cranking that.
Well, yeah, obviously, it's just part of the set.
Is McFarland Toy still around?
I don't know.
With their very quality sculpts of people in action figure form.
Because there's never been a good line of James Bond action figures.
Little ones? Because look at that.
Little ones, I mean, yeah. Not like...
Yeah. I guess that's the one downside of this franchise being owned by a family is like there's not some hungry corporation that will make every damn...
But look at George Lucas. He had the merchandising for Star Wars. So he made...
And he made everything.
Yeah, but that's George Lucas. Our Barbara Broccoli respects our franchise.
Yeah, but look at George Lucas. He gave us two of our three podcast franchises.
Indiana Jonesing, Star Warsing,
wouldn't be possible without Georgie.
And they haven't even done.
I know, I know.
That's the beauty of these podcasts.
I have to keep talking about them like they're real.
Yeah, we did.
We did a pilot.
That's my darned.
What are you doing?
Her hair is perfect again.
I know.
Oh, he could have caught up.
He could have caught.
I'd like to think Bonn did that on purpose.
I mean, he's within his right.
She was a bad person.
Yeah, she did kill Sir God.
free tippet.
This is pretty great that he gets to see it.
I know.
This is a great moment.
And then of course, obviously, here's where she thinks she has a cameo.
I survived that explosion, right?
I mean, this movie is May Day?
Wow, that was quite an explosion.
This, that, that freeze that frame.
Give me it.
Put it on some socks.
I'll wear it for the rest of my life.
That was amazing.
Shocked walking with crazy German scientists behind him.
James, you blew up that woman for me.
Look out, there's a slow blimp behind you.
Scarpine's still having a good time.
By the way, Scarpine has planned for this eventuality.
He's like, this is plan C-4-3.
This is crazy that they can catch her.
Do you think there's a chance she didn't hear this coming right behind her?
Oh, Scarpine.
His dream.
He knows how to do this, man.
He feels it.
he has lugged so many fucking hours in that blimp
that when James Bond is on the mooring rope, he knows.
Yeah.
Who has to pack that thing back into the trailer?
It's a thousand percent, Scorpion.
Yeah.
And he folds it a certain way,
and if it's not done that way, you're gone.
He doesn't do it because he has to.
He does it because he wants to and nobody does it better than him.
And he actually listens to nobody does it better while he does it.
Yeah, that's how the song was originally written for.
Scarpian in his blimp pack.
Oh, look at this real estate market, guys.
Buy now.
It's going to be worth so much.
We!
It did hit him in the nuts, that antenna.
It's a good time.
You see that cop caught down there.
It just got hit.
That's a pretty crazy stunt.
I need...
He's happy again.
I need to really assess my vacation plans
and maybe think about blimping over the Golden Gate Bridge.
Can I rent a blimp?
Can that be done?
I don't know.
Matt, if we could rent a blimp and take it over the Golden Gate Bridge,
how fun would that be?
Think of all the Grammin we'd do.
All the...
All the grahamin, bro.
Now, this, of course, is the Brooklyn Bridge.
Yeah.
This movie, this bridge is featured also in Spider-Man, too.
I kind of wonder what did Zorn think he was going to do, just sweep him off of there,
but this does seem like a natural conclusion that Bond could do this.
Honestly, I think the chances in his mind are so low.
Yeah.
More power.
Again, he doesn't need, you know, improvisation.
Intuitive improvisation where I put a gun in my head.
It's loaded, and my fingers need a trigger.
Nothing could possibly go, oh.
Oh.
man uh there's a i'm sure you've seen it matt but any of our listeners who have never been to
teversisco uh when you walk to the golden gate bridge you can see a cross section of one of those
cables oh really of the one of the you know the large suspension cables and it is so huge
and full of so many other cables those big red oh really things are full of steel cable individual
cables oh i didn't realize there's a cross section of them at the bridge
It's really cool.
This does give me that feeling of my goolies, that high heights.
Yeah.
Chill.
Yeah, you didn't feel that for the cop on the, on the, on the, exactly.
Not like this.
Also, I love that the professor, Dr. German guy, forgot he was buckled in.
Oh, my head.
Oh, wow, it's very clean down here.
What?
I'm Scarpine.
Not jumpy guy.
I love his reaction to that.
He was like, thank God.
Love this music.
Come on.
There's the electric guitar.
Uh-huh.
I love how it all comes down to an axe.
Stacey Jump, maybe not the best thing to do.
But I'm in heels still.
From earlier.
Like, why is the back of that person not Christopher Walken?
Was he busy?
Was he, like, was he, like, working another movie that day?
oh you know
that's gotta be in storage somewhere right
the section of the Golden Gate Bridge they built for that
I know
oof
it's always bothered me
I suppose Daniel Craig is a little less
guilty of it than the other bonds
but their action scene footwear
has always bothered me
because it's such a slippery shoe
they're always wearing
I know you just want them to be in something that grips
oh
oh yeah
Oh yeah
Max
This
Chance of survival
Just so we all know
He probably made it
Yeah
Did he say get out of the pipe
Get under the pipe
Yeah
Dang it no one else has I got in here
Why do they have dynamite in a refrigerator safe
Well you got to keep dynamite in a cool, dark place
So
Shined a blimp
That ought to do it
like this is ever
this is like a tim and eric sketch
this guy
I think there's a
where was he planning on that dynamite landing
uh on the cable
blowing up the entire bridge
they've had a lot of discussions those two
uh about this exact
scenario
and uh what we don't know is that
it came true
the scorpion's worst fear
it's like I'm gonna put the dynamite in here
but I just know
one of us at some
point is accidentally going to blow up the cabin.
Now, if we cannot all get together and get Matt Goreley a bomber jacket with a Zorin
patch on the back, I don't know what we're doing as people.
I agree.
Defense minister is like, get that out of here.
Oh, I see what you did there.
Let's have a drink.
He missed his flight.
She shouldn't have hit the button at that point.
If she just listened a little longer, he would have continued and said, he missed the flight.
this Winnebago is definitely where he developed the rake microphone radio.
I love that there's no established reason for Q not to go knock on the door.
It's just, we established this gadget, now we need to use it.
There's also no reason for him.
This looks like live action puppet babies.
Yeah, there's no reason for him to have come to the United States.
Just send another CIA soft shell crab guy.
In fairness, Matt, we don't know that this Winnebago is not parked outside MI6 and he's just got that good a range.
I don't know.
He is cute.
I've watched him fuck so many women.
No one's seen him as much as I have.
By the way, as far as your double entendre one-liners to end a Bond movie ago?
It's not a good one.
Not a bad one, I was going to say, because it's not so ridiculously filthy and it's not
so abundantly clear to M that he's actually, you know, balls deep in somebody.
And it's one that Q would come up with.
Yeah.
Let's give it up for Siva, never give him got Sivas, who was shaky McShakes-Lakes-Lad pilot.
Also, let's give it up for the MVP of you to a kill.
That's Patrick Boucho, Scarpine.
You know, we're big on him here.
We love it.
We are Scarpine heads.
That's right from way back.
Scarpinaholics even?
I think.
Yeah, I mean, I'm just obsessed with his performance.
No clear death, sure, he was on a blimp cabin that had six sticks of dynamite go off in it.
We never saw his body disintegrate.
That's exactly right.
So I think him in May Day could appear in Bond 25.
And Max Zorin and...
Well, if you want my theory on Max Zorin, head over to iTunes or Apple Podcast Punching
Sackay with Matt Meyer.
it was the Matt Goreley episode, episode one, where I explained that Mrs. Doutfire and James Bond are in the same universe.
That's right.
Yeah.
Just head on up to San Francisco and take a look in the bay there and you see him getting out of the water any day now.
No use of Alcatraz in this movie.
I feel like they should have done it, you know?
Because was it closed at that time?
It was.
Oh, that's an interesting thing I don't even know about.
Yeah, I think it closed in the 70s or 80s.
And it has reopened.
famously as a place that I never remember to get tickets before I go up there, and it's never
available.
And it's where James Bond was held.
Gidea Park did the cover of...
What were they called?
G-D-E-A-G-I-D-E-A.
So what I'd like to do, Matt, is at some point, look up G-D-A-R-R-A-L-A-C-E-A and see if they had any other
not-hits.
We can look that up.
That sounds like a name made up by, like, John Barry.
or something.
It's probably backwards.
Let's see.
It's a neighborhood in Romford
in the London Borough of Havering.
Oh, definitely recorded at his house then.
Let's see if there's a band listing.
Gidea Park band members.
Gidea Park tribute band even?
It is a band.
Is Gidea Park a famous band from England
we don't know about?
Hold on.
I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
British 1970s rock band members include
Dave Walker, Adrian Baker, Roger Watling, and Jerry Chapman.
Wow.
Are you a member of Gidea Park?
If so, write in.
They've got an EP called California Gold.
They've also got Beach Boy Gold, Seasons of Gold.
I think they are just a cover band.
That's interesting.
Yeah.
I like it.
All right.
Well, that's something new I just discovered.
Well, everyone...
That's the beauty of these James Bond commentaries, Matt.
That's right.
We learn something.
The audience learns nothing.
And together we make a fun time.
But the important thing is James Bonding will return.
James Bonding podcast.
Hey, this is Arnie Neacamp from the Improft Fantasy podcast.

Fake Nats.
Rachel Bloom.
You all see my collection of men, corpses, and one woman.
Felicia Day and Colton Dunn.
You've seen me have intercourse with a variety of species.
It's a bummer.
Andy Daly.
You have the members of Genesis listed, but Phil Collins has crossed out and then circled it crossed out again.
Yes, I have killed Phil Collins twice.
Thomas Middletch.
Jesus, I mean, Jarzos.
Ruler of the 18.
