Starting point is 00:00:00 Matt and Matt and James Bonding podcast Welcome to James Bonding, Gorely, Gorely Welcome to James Bonding. My name is Matt. My name is also Matt.
Starting point is 00:00:14 I am just, we're really running this season into the ground here, Matt. Hang on. Matt is holding the mic in his armpit while he puts on the headphones and holding his phone. He almost just grown.
Starting point is 00:00:25 You'd never know it. Everything's fine here. I'm fine. We're fine up here. How are you? We're all fine here. How are you? Listen, this is the season finale of James Bonding, and we are coming to you in fine form.
Starting point is 00:00:39 Oh, are we ever? I was up till 2 a.m. doing a jigsaw puzzle, and then I woke up at 5.30 a.m. to watch the Mueller testimony. Wow. I didn't realize you were that committed to news. I just love politics. I hate news. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:56 I love journalism. I hate news. Similarly, man. I was up until about 3 o'clock in the morning, working on. on my wife's car. If you've heard any other podcasts I've recorded this week, you know the tale. Showed me pictures.
Starting point is 00:01:08 You're doing a fine job, and you're doing that job about 12 times. Oh, this is like literally the fourth all the way over again. And then this morning I was like, I need to grind this all down to nothing and start with the base, the bare metal,
Starting point is 00:01:22 as deep as down to the metal as I can get. Not doing that yet. I haven't fully committed to that, but I was up until about three. and if you've ever had a three-month-old at home, he gets up not long after that. So he was up at like six. Wow.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Dory was a champ. She let me sleep. She knew that I was out there all night. And she calls it this latest boondoggle of mine. Listen, the point is when you're this tired and you want to relax, you got to go to the easiest listening bond film there is. Wouldn't you say that this is like the most relaxed Bond movie there is? This is number one background Bond movie. Yeah, it is comfort Bond.
Starting point is 00:02:05 It is like I think I've said before, it is the bare skin rug or the like rust colored rug in front of a campfire. It's ironically, it's the Thunderball Mink Glove of Bond movies. That's right. What I wouldn't give for a Mink Glove massage from you, Matt, while this is happening. Well, you play your cards, right? Yes. Okay. We're going to cue it up here as we always do, and that is by playing the audio of...
Starting point is 00:02:32 We didn't even say it, by the way. Octopussy. There we go. Okay, we're going to play you the... Property of a lady. Audio of the first lion roar, and you can... I think you're... Are you queued up for the first lion roar or are you at the second lion roar?
Starting point is 00:02:48 You're right. Here we go. Okay. Here we go. All right. We've paused it. You've all gotten your DVDs. You know how this works already.
Starting point is 00:03:02 We're going to count you back in and you're going to hit play at the same time we do and you're going to relax, sit back and enjoy the sweet, sweet sounds of Roger Moore in 1983's Octopussy.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Here we go. Count us in, Matt. Three. On play, everybody. None of this. Okay, just so we're clear. Here we go. Three, two, one, play.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Ah, perfectly synced. let's get our monitor down all right oh yeah here we go now why we can't hear it it doesn't matter who knows you can't hear it
Starting point is 00:03:38 no I can't oh okay maybe I'm not plugged in oh hold on you can't hear it well we're gonna continue going no don't worry about it this is a great look at this
Starting point is 00:03:46 he's still got his he still got his bell bottoms on it's 1983 got it Matt thank you it was just a loose cable everyone up till 2 am.
Starting point is 00:03:56 I'm addicted it's the only addiction I have jigsaw puzzles When there's one, I can't stop. He, by the way, everyone, he did a gold finger puzzle, and frustratingly, a 40-year-old puzzle is missing one piece. Only one piece. Now, first of all, I'd like to think, I believe his name might have been Steve Guntley that sent it in.
Starting point is 00:04:16 It's like a vintage gold finger puzzle. It's gorgeous. It's either missing a piece or Margo ate it. We should check the litter box. Yeah, those are even odds, by the way. She'll eat anything. All right. here we are one of the best cold opens ever uh look we've talked about it many times and i'm
Starting point is 00:04:37 going to talk about it right now of all the james bond displays i've ever seen in my life perhaps the best was the octopussy hat and jacket at the bond uh was it at bond emotion i think so yeah because i'm trying to remember if you saw it and sent it to me or if i saw it and sent it to you forget. I mean, it's illustrated perfectly here, man. Oh, yes. So, Matt was nice enough to buy me the, I believe it's a 1983 comic book adaptation. With some great art and the worst coloring I've ever seen in my life. You can read along with the movie. Just in case you need to see any deleted scenes. It was a Marvel comics, everybody. Super special. I feel the need to say this every time, but this is the first Bond movie I ever saw in the theater with my dad. La Marotta Mall cinemas.
Starting point is 00:05:32 My wife, also her first. Really? That's right. Which is why the Octopussy poster is the one allowed in our office. I see. And I actually feel like I remember being in that mall going to see this movie. And the poster for the upcoming, Never Say Never. Oh yeah, that was coming out in October, right?
Starting point is 00:05:49 Did they ever allow like that trailer to play on this? Like, was that something... Good question. You could do or was it like forbidden? I bet, you know, it's... weird because I feel like either the rules were either way looser back then or way more strict. Yeah. There's no middle road.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Right. You know, the superpowers of Roger Moore's James Bond. I know. With that karate shop, which I got to say. That's like strictly Vulcan. Not even a wind-up, really. It was like three inches, three inches of run-in space he needed on that. Oh, that guy wore the same mustache.
Starting point is 00:06:25 It's not exactly Cuba, right? it's just, it's a kind of Cuba. I mean, these are terrible uniforms because they've all got targets on their arms. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:34 All right. I love this, the Land Rover. Sorry, a range rover. Oh, yeah. Solid brown range rover. What is it,
Starting point is 00:06:48 a Defender 90, I believe, it's a two-door. That donkey's got two baskets on it. Never seen that before. That's the kind of thing you pick up in this commentary, man.
Starting point is 00:06:58 We are really watching this with an eagle eye. I wonder where they shot this? I mean, looks like heaven to me. Yeah, that's true. I was thinking about one of those the other day, one of those rangerovers. Oh, I thought you meant
Starting point is 00:07:13 a woman. I was thinking about a woman who might drive next to me. Wait, does she have, does the gear? Gershifter has a little fur on it, yeah. Oh, my God, it's fur. A little fuzzy fur. That's the mink coat. I mean, the mink glove. I got to say, I don't know. Physics,
Starting point is 00:07:31 anyone, can you tell me, will that work? Why wouldn't it? I think that moving, it seems like they're moving 10. Yeah. And there's Yaakov-Shmir-off, of course. It might just drop them into the, like, they might fall off the back. Maybe. I don't know that they'd actually be lifted.
Starting point is 00:07:44 What I'm saying is if you're moving to a tropical locale and you're thinking of starting your own line of parasailing, you're going to need to move faster. Right. So this must be England. They're shooting this in. And they do a decent job of making it seem like not England, but still when you look in the far ground, maybe it isn't. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:03 do you know if this is england right in we'll answer it next season yeah i mean look this little jet comes out look at that perfect felt horse butt i mean hand sculpted by cue personally he actually only had to run he had to run his hands over at once and it was done because they're huge his huge hands here's my i have heart-shaped glasses on probably he's the lolita of his time. It's the Cuban Lolita. A little disappointment on the poster, Matt. Obviously,
Starting point is 00:08:50 the jet is prominently featured on the octopusy poster, but he's in a tuxedo in the jet. Right. Which is a bother to me. Look at the pictures on this octopusy... What they decided to go with, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:04 That's strange. That's frightening, that clown one. I encourage anyone listening to this to maybe pick up their phone and take a Google to the Octopussy comic book. Take a Google to it. That's gorgeous. I can't wait to dive into that. Well, now this must be like,
Starting point is 00:09:21 this was all shot in the States because that's where the jet was, right? Probably. I don't know if it's like Arizona or Utah or something. Not experts for just lovers. That could be like, Kansas. You know. How did they do this?
Starting point is 00:09:36 Was like that missile hung on a rope that just feels like it was like, Much like a banner that would say, Matt, will you marry me? Right. Yes, I will. Matt, will you give me a massage with a mink glove? A thousand times, yes. Very long banner, but I got it.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Now, this is one of your fixes. There it is. There it is. I would digitally take it out. The pole. Just a quick little wip-a-do. They should have banked it from the beginning, and then you wouldn't have seen the pole.
Starting point is 00:10:04 They could have actually solved it just by moving the pole back seven inches on the plane. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. They found that plane. That the hollow one that they had the pole in, it was like at an auto part place. What? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Oh, no. I can't believe he burned through the fuel that much. Do you think it was not filled up or he just went, he just was too aggressive with it? Well, I think it's got a fuel tank the size of a gallon of milk. You know, according to the internet, Matt. Yeah. This line was a Roger Moore.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Adlib. I don't doubt it. Also, why is he landing in Arkansas? Well, I said it was in Kansas, right? Oh, God. All right. If you're not under a blanket already, get in your jimmies. Get under a blanket.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Would you go with, like, chocolate jimmies or rainbow jimmies? Oh, I, jimies mean jammies. Oh, yeah. Jimmy's mean sprinkles and ice cream. Yeah, I learned that for the first time last summer when I went to Cape Cod. Last summer? I did no idea that they were no jimmy's on your ice cream. You were like, what the fuck are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:11:20 Why would I put pajamas on my ice cream? No, thank you, but I'll have sprinkles. The name that makes a million times more sense. We also say bubbler for a water fountain. Right. Which I discovered Milwaukee also does. Oh, yeah. Oh, God, I love this song.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Matt, you know, I have a question for you. A little bit of James Bond trivia that you may or may not know the answer to. We might have discussed at some point on the show. the gun that Sean Connery is always featured with in James Bond art that is not a Walther. Oh yeah. Why? I think because it has a beautiful silhouette. I don't know if that was that.
Starting point is 00:11:58 But they let Sir Roger Moore hold a Walther with a silencer on it. I think it was mostly, I always forget his name that, that brilliant painter that did all the early posters. I think he was the one. Frank. It was like something round tree or what's his name? Richard Roundtree? It's not Richard Roundtree. I'll look it up for you, Matt.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Or you're looking it up, whatever. Who's looking it up? Go for it. I'm on it. I remember this was the era of laser projections. Like, I used to go to indoor soccer and they would project things on the wall of the Great Western Forum. And all you had to do was put some fog out and it created this like laser tunnel. It was gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:12:43 It's, you know, the birth of nighttime bowling. Right. It's gone before. I know this is like a soft, soft song, but come on. So hold on tight. This all depends on our audio being synced with yours. Yeah, but if it's not, you're still going to have an enjoyment that you can't describe to anyone else. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:25 it's a walther that shoots production credits and a girl looks on shoots production credits what do you know when uh pipsy wanted to laser up a advertisement on the moon remember when that was going to be a thing oh yeah boy boy i'm finding a lot of information but not a lot of who the artist is brown john that's his name i love it by the way I think... Brown John. Oh, look it up. Robert McGinnis.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Robert McGinnis. Where did I get brown John? Oh, my God. Oh, Lord. Up until 2 a M.Givinness, by the way, did... I mean, look. My personal favorite James Bond posters are Live and Let Die, Octopus, and Thunderball. I don't think he did those ones, did he?
Starting point is 00:14:22 He did live and let die. Oh, he did? Yeah. Okay. And who did Thunderball? I think he did. Yeah. As we discussed, that's the greatest poster of all time.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Yeah, that's pretty amazing. So they're all in my house hanging. Look. It's Mishka and Krishka. Look, here's another thing I'd like to say. This double O here, 004? Nine? Nine?
Starting point is 00:14:45 Four? I don't remember either. Three? Three? Could be one of those numbers. Could also not be. Again, lovers, not experts. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:52 I feel like he'd probably lose those clown shoes on the run. You mean like they'd fall off or he'd want to. No, no, he'd want to lose them. You'd think, yeah. I mean, look, if you're running away from an expert knife thrower, right, last thing you want is clown shoes. For one thing, not even like the fact that they'd slow you down, but think of the tracks they're going to make for track.
Starting point is 00:15:11 By the way, also, here's another tip on this guy. I'm just wanting, I want to save him his life retroactively. Yeah. Take off the white bald cap bright red wig. Yeah. Yep. I lose the, I mean, I bet he's going. got an undershirt, like a black undershirt.
Starting point is 00:15:28 He is not a chance. He should have a black undershirt. You know, MI6 always has reversible clothing. I bet that was a beautiful suit before he got to his mission. And actually, if you flip the bald cap clown wig inside out, it's a, it's a handy little hat. It's a soft cap. It turns into a hard hat, helmet. We lost another friend, friend.
Starting point is 00:15:56 I'm surprised these guys didn't show up in more. They're probably really Russian or jumping. killed. Yeah, not in real life. Oh, I thought you've had in more James Bond movies. You just mean in more movies. Yeah. Do you think they're genuine knife throwers?
Starting point is 00:16:10 I feel like they are. Why not? I feel like that's what they were cast. Yeah, maybe they were in like a Russian circus. I feel like they also were asked to do another movie and they were like, no, no, we'd just throw knives. Let's look that up. What happened are these guys? Mishka.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Oh. Look at this. If you're going to. you're going to have a clown run into your doors. IMDB knows me so well. I put in, oh, and up comes octopusy.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Not the great retelling of Othello. Yeah. Wait, they're just credited as twin one and twin two. Oh. David and Tony Meyer. They have no lines? He's English.
Starting point is 00:16:57 He's also been in Bent and an Englishman's castle. He? Is it one guy playing both of them? They're not twins? I'm so confused. No. They are, but I wonder if they have the same credits. Nothing else you'd really recognize.
Starting point is 00:17:10 What if James Bond also had a sidekick in this movie? Like Moneypenny does here. Yeah. Timothy Dalton was maybe his sidekick. His protege. Let's see. He's some of a fair amount of Shakespeare. Oh, Lois Maxwell.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Thank you, Command Bond. I would like that sound as some sort of alert on my phone. Now, these twins have a fair amount of distinct credits where they didn't work together. They don't always have to, you know. But wouldn't they both audition for the same thing? And then how do you choose one? I think it's like sort of divvy up Hollywood, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:57 And if they get two parts that book on the same day, and then they can have some fun shenanigans. Yeah. Oops. Don't worry about it. It did nothing happen here. It's a beautiful property of a lady. I just want to bring up the volume a little. Expert.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Expert on Faberj Eags. Oh, I, Lieutenant of an old coming here. Love this guy. Aventor. I think I'm in the Bond. Nick,knack? Hello. How you doing?
Starting point is 00:18:46 That would be amazing if we walked into Em's office and the new M was Nicknack. I take a new job. Hello, Monsieur Bond. Good to see you again. If you ask me, M's getting a little big for his britches. I get it's very funny. I bring in two dancing girls. What would his office look like?
Starting point is 00:19:16 Nine. It's weird to see. We took these great pictures of him. He has actual clown hair. Why did he need a bald cap? Rob to do. It's like Jack Nicholson, the Joker, when he has. the human makeup on and then it runs, revealing his white skin underneath. Oh, man, I forget how
Starting point is 00:19:41 much I love Stephen Burkhoff in this movie. I forget how much I love those chairs. Yeah, this set. The set's amazing. The useless turn. Is this Ken Adam? No, it's Peter Lamont. That's right. Ken Adam was done. Done by Spy Who Love Me, right? Uh, no, uh, Moonraker. done by Moonrager, right? Yeah. Matt, can you do my favor and edit out the previous part where I was wrong?
Starting point is 00:20:11 Thanks, pal. No, you'll figure it up. If he's a true friend, he'll do it. Look at this. Every person in this movie, in this scene, is doing some of the finest physical acting I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:20:28 But he outdoes him. This is okay. We just let this set. The guy next to Google that was so drunk. Just watch. Just watch. Let's just watch this.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Okay, everyone just be quiet. Everyone turn up your volume on your TVs. He reminds me of... Wait, we're not done. Hold that thought. I'm so sorry. There's a part where he walks like Ed Sullivan. Here.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Wait. Did he play Ed Sullivan and Can't Buy Me Love? He should have. Here it is. Look at him. It's great. It's like he took his script and said, I want to make a 60-second speech
Starting point is 00:21:42 last for three minutes. The guy on the left of Gogol Yeah. He's got to be Dan Hadea's father. I know. Yeah. Or brother. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:52 He looks like a tortelli is all I'm saying. Yeah. Thank God. Dan Hadea is still with us. Carla, baby. And Terry Gar. It's good to see her working. Is she just the secretary
Starting point is 00:22:41 for the marble room? I think. And then there's a slate room. She's the money penny. She's the rubble drachma Drakma rubble I would kill to be in that weather right now I know me too
Starting point is 00:23:03 It's so hot It's gross hot I was in New York and Philly this weekend Oh it was gross hot there It was worse because it was so humid Yeah Look at their hair These twins
Starting point is 00:23:13 Also why do those knife throwers Go and fuck with this guy Who's making the very delicate Fakes Forgive me I know I repeat myself, but check out that force perspective backdrop that makes it look like how far that thing goes back. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:23:28 There's no backdrop. There's no clear line on the floor where that backdrop starts. Look, if you're going to have a birthmark skin dimple, it's a great place to have it, right in your third eye. I'm not even going to try to follow the plot of this movie. Well, let me try. Oh, no. It's already, I'm too tired. I can't hold up.
Starting point is 00:23:59 This serves as weirdly a sequel to the book. To what book? To property of a lady. Oh. He references the story to Octopussy, which is interesting. I've decided. I like Bond's suit. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Pinstripe. It looks a lot like that suit that guy wore that time that he got fresh paint on his suit and then had to roll around thanks to the Mentos and he was ready for that job interview. Do do, do, do, do, do. I vaguely remember. what you're talking about. You know what I'm talking about. Park bench, he sits down, all of a sudden he gets pinstrives once he realizes he got paint on himself. That's right. I don't know what it is. Is it the, is it the forehead that I'm calling a five head? Is it the height of the hair? It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:24:52 You're talking about how she looks. You like that. Yeah. She's gorgeous. That is the business at hand, minister. That guy could be the most British just by how he looks. guy checking out the egg right now. Although he's in the scene with Dave Sotheby. He is? Dave Sotheby of Sothebyes. Oh. Who I assume is doing the auction?
Starting point is 00:25:24 Must be. This listener to the Super Ego podcast, she comes to the shows. She works at Sotheby's in New York, and they just have an Aston Martin DB5 with all the gadgets in the lobby at Sotheby's right now. She goes to work every day in that thing's just there. When is that auction happening? They're not going to just have it sitting there. I don't know. Unless it's for sale.
Starting point is 00:25:48 I've got like $400. I'll bid. Whatever if I didn't start all this auto work. What a scamperillo. Scamperillo. I love this. He saw that guy do it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:13 So now he's like, let me take a look at it. And then baller moves here. Switcheroo. I mean, of course he doesn't actually switch it. Hey, hey, hey, hey, you don't know what he's doing. I do. This is truly spectacular. That guy looks like Robert Mueller.
Starting point is 00:26:35 The guy behind him looks like a balding Stephen Fry. That guy, what would he have done? Would they have had to come up with it together? And then this becomes a buddy comedy of those two trying to raise $500,000? I'm into whatever. Oh, I'd watch that in a second. However this movie could possibly fork off in millions of ways, I'd watch it every version. Matt, every time I see this movie, I miss England.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Yeah. Look at that awesome Mercedes limo. What a loyal assistant. I love that. There's Jeremy Bullock. Boba Fett. Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:31 That's fun. Boba Fett. Where? He's not from New Zealand, though. I don't understand how he would be Boba Fett. It's a good reaction. That would be the best M reaction outside of a Judy Dench. Yeah, or a Robert.
Starting point is 00:27:58 I mean, Bernard Lee. No. That was a fucking, that was brilliantly played. You know, I like that suit because normally you see that kind of wide pinstripe with really large lapels, kind of like comical mobster, like Dick Tracy stuff, and that's just kind of a sleek 80s cut. You mean like, say you were on the great movie ride
Starting point is 00:28:24 and all of a sudden he rolled into the gangster scene. And Roger Stone walked in. Look at the color of that leather. I stole it for England. Ah, he likes it. He can't admit it, buddy. He can't help it. He can't.
Starting point is 00:28:44 can't help himself. Ah, the beautiful Ganges River. How many shots do you need to go there? I think that's Ganges River. Hell, I don't know. Do you have any desire to go to India? Yes. I do too solely for this movie.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Oh, I'd like to. I mean, I, Taj Mahal always feels like, you've got to knock all those wonders, you know? You got to see that great wall. You've got to see the Taj Mahal. Right. You got to see that Athens statue. that doesn't exist anymore.
Starting point is 00:29:20 One of the Seven Wonders, wasn't it a giant statue over like a bay in Athens or something? I am not. This isn't the Seven Wonders podcast. This is James Bond. Yeah, don't bother us. How do you feel about this?
Starting point is 00:29:33 The dietic James Bond tone, music? I don't know. So it kind of implies he has a theme in his world. Like he's so well-known someone wrote a James Bond thing. No, no, no. Isn't that, that's the tone that that's what he was supposed to hear to know who his contact was, right? Yeah. So you're saying that that's always 007's contact. Well, I'm just
Starting point is 00:29:58 saying it was probably written. Anytime a busker has to contact him. Or all the double O's have their own little thing. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, oh, it's 004. Wait, he's head of section. So he's like the M of India. Yeah, which tells you that he really likes to get down and dirty and just get on the field again, you know? What city are they in? He's like the Bangladesh. I made that up. He's like the Ray Fines of India.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Yeah. Because Ray Fines heads out into the field sometimes. Yeah. Can you believe James Bladen goes to play tennis at the same place that VJ does? Can you believe that James Bladen has never introduced us to his good friend VJ? I know. I've been trying. Should we just go pretend we like tennis with James?
Starting point is 00:30:57 That's going to be tough for me. Should we play doubles against him? That would be funny. Hands down, the worst tennis player you will ever meet. But the two of us together against James, I think we could not, we'd lose quickly, but not like so quickly. All I could do, like, because my playing is so bad, the only help I would be as if I was just verbally supporting you. Yeah, yeah, that'd be fine. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:20 I used to play tennis every summer when I was a wee chub. child. Tennis and basketball, awful. I used to play basketball all the time. But like handball, dodge ball, prison ball, grade school games, I can't be beat. I don't know what it is. Like my motor skills never matured. Like I never grew into adult sports.
Starting point is 00:31:40 I played soccer. I did well at soccer. But you're great with your hands. Get that main glove over here, buddy. Oh, there you go, pal. Ah, that's the spot. Do, do, do. But, you know, you play guitar.
Starting point is 00:31:54 you work with tiny jigsaw pieces? Yeah, I mean, I can craft things with your hands. Your dexterity's there. I think it's because I just, even when I'm playing tennis and if I want to do good, I'm so bored that I can't be bothered to care. Same thing with bowling, I'll start strong. And then halfway through, I tank because I just like, okay, this is keep going. Matt, here's a comic book quiz.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Do you think the head of section is in this? There's not a lot of panels. You can't, like, use up a lot of unnecessary story. Let's check it out. going to find out. You didn't even guess if he was. I think he is. Sure. Oh, all right. Yep. He's literally right here, top of page. Oh, look how good he looks. Sadron. Head of Section.
Starting point is 00:32:38 What's his name? Oh, sorry. S-A-D-R-U-D-D-D-I-N. Roger Moore's dinner jacket and his like, just super see-through shirt. I love it. this guy's amazing this scene is cut down dramatically the uh
Starting point is 00:33:08 the Ed Sullivan action oh no every time I watched this movie the sound in this drives me a little crazy why
Starting point is 00:33:21 it's so like the way that the dice sounds hitting the leather and the and the in his voice he sounds a little
Starting point is 00:33:29 moist head of section hanging out that look on her face it's strange but really alluring yeah she's a sneer that is i wonder if that's like actor's nerves or is that a choice i think she's just grossed out by everything no i can't that is the one thing it cannot be look at how good he looks like that's the front of her hair like that's her bangs that is swooped behind her head yeah she's been growing her bangs since birth yeah she is so alluring to me because
Starting point is 00:34:13 because I just, all I can see is 10-year-old me. I mean, all I can feel is dead your own. Where's that mint glove? There you go, buddy. Yeah. Do you ever play backgammon? Never in my life. We bought a set and then sat down to play it and...
Starting point is 00:34:32 Couldn't figure it out? No, because we had each had a drink. I couldn't tell you. But I played a lot when I was a kid. I did play, you know, I told you, I think I told the podcast audience too. Last time I was in Vegas, I played Baccarat for a while. Yeah. Real guess.
Starting point is 00:34:47 game. I hate the sounds. It's pretty pronounced. We're going to bring it up. We're going to bring up the sound. I don't know who that is. It's just somebody in the sound department. We're going to hear it.
Starting point is 00:35:04 I think it's Foley. And that we're very precious about it. It's a, yeah. It's an adolescent day folly. It's Axel Foley. Oh, God. Remember the amount of effort we went through to find out how much 2000 rubies, 200,000 rubies was in 1989.
Starting point is 00:35:23 And I don't even remember. I don't either. I really want a replica of one of those things. I'm sure. we could get one. I think they, don't they sell one? If Disney ever bought James Bond, we could certainly have one on a t-shirt. They better not. Oh, update. I've been to Galaxy's Edge. What'd you think? Didn't like it. Yeah. That's two, that's two thumbs down from us here at James Bonding. I think I will, once the other ride is open, I'm hoping that there's more, it'll, I hope it'll feel more
Starting point is 00:35:57 alive. Did not feel alive at all. Yeah. The way he doesn't look down at the, die. Well, he doesn't need to. Why would he even have to look down? And he doesn't look at his checkbook guy. They both won't let eye contact go. Oh, come on. I know it's a warm day, but get under your blanket, pour yourself. Oh, it's a good drink. What pairs nicely with this movie? Well, it's a summer day and we're under a warm blanket. Okay, let's say the air conditioning's cranked in your house. You've thrown a blanket on because it's a little too cold. And right next to you, you have a delicious canada dry mix with lemonade.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Oh, yeah. Why did you make the dice out of clay? I guess that is what dice would be made. I get ahead of section. He's just watching him. That was pretty cool. I like how you guys do things. Thank God Peter Mayhew is in this movie.
Starting point is 00:37:11 He would have hit his head on those spikes. Look at Vijay acting because he's not an actor by trade. I'd just love to watch him do his business. I love a head of section, just taking it, loving it. This guy's great. Hey, I gotta get one of these for my guys. He makes more than Bond, I'm sure. Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:37:38 I mean, right now. They keep showing his eyes, his beautiful eyes. Tuck, tuck, tuck. What a fun, dark ride that would be. I'm surprised there wasn't a, henchman named tuck tucktuck there could be one in jamaica he always tucks his t-shirts into his shorts so he's called tucktuck he's bond 25 bj we have a blunderbuss look at he doesn't have a walther i mean it may be a walther but it's not a he has a walter yeah he does yeah but it's not a ppk it's like a bigger one oh well look at it's a blunderbuss
Starting point is 00:38:17 yeah that's a walter blunderbuss i'm confused by how that gun won works because it's got one barrel on the end but two chambers yeah good question does it fire is that a real gun i believe so maybe it fires them both at the same time or i mean oh i like that like where your head's at matt it probably doesn't though it's just one barrel that they both go into but that's so weird and what does that what does that change chamber look like what does that exchange chamber it looked like. Is it just angled slightly? I think it's probably just big enough to have both of them. I don't know. That guy from breaking two. Man, this is the year, I don't know what year crawl was, but that and the glade from
Starting point is 00:39:02 crawl. I don't know what year crawl was. Biggest time in cinema history for frisbee-like, plus the yo-yo thing in this. Yeah. Man, if you had invested in frisbee-like sharp weapons in this year, I was up till 2 a.m. He's so fucking charming. Vijay. Yeah. I love that they let him use tennis in the movie. Wasn't he on like different strokes or something?
Starting point is 00:39:29 Like didn't he do sitcom appearances too? I got to look into this. Bear with me here. I mean, look at him. He's handsome. He's not a great actor. Sitcom seemed like right place for him at that point. Look at Tony Myers' IMDB main photo is just Roger Moore and Mod Adams.
Starting point is 00:39:47 he's Mishka or Grishka All right Where are you, VJ? Here he is Look how good he looks It looks Oh my We got to play tennis with him
Starting point is 00:39:59 By the way I have to say Now that we're on a set Now they're on a soundstage, clearly This might be the movie man There's been no dragging For me on this
Starting point is 00:40:09 This movie's moving along Of course And it's delightful each time He was in Walker Texas Ranger Star Trek 4 Yes he is isn't Star Trek 4? He hasn't done
Starting point is 00:40:19 much else though. Oh my god, he's hailing Starfleet command. His ship is out there being attacked by the probe. I remember it well. Look at that guy juggling the fire is the whitest man possible.
Starting point is 00:40:40 Rooftop Ringo Star just got punched by James Bond. Look, there's another weird what could is that weapon. It looks like it should be a Klingon weapon. Yeah. Bacla.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Well, he didn't reload, so I'm assuming that was the other one. Hmm. It's probably a double trigger. Got a little bond theme. Which is literally his theme as we established in this movie. Yeah, right now he's hearing that and going, who am I supposed to meet? Oh, my God. Oh, no, Vij.
Starting point is 00:41:25 I wish Vijay literally just peeled off five, kept the rest. I was finally going to move into it. a house. Oh, no. Oh, I love it. How many of those you think they got in the, in the barrel ready to come down? 20. That guy's just got a straight-up mace or like a scepter. Poor bird. Yeah, the bird's fine. It's round. You know, the little stoop. He's fine. Anyway, any angle he wants. What was that? Was that them making a blunderbuss? It's like an M-60 with a blunderbuss framing. Like, let's logistically think about this for a second here. Where am I six?
Starting point is 00:42:32 Let's move the entire R&D division of quartermaster branch to James Bond's location. To make only Indian specific gadgets. Like, it would make a lot more sense if Q came and all the technicians were the, uh, were the local Q branch. Yeah. Why is that guy have to be in that kind of garb? Because they wanted to know if his body could feel the difference of the rope. There's Boba Fett again. That was take one.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Oh my God. I wish he didn't get the memo and replaced the carriage with like a tiny motor car. But look at his hands in, his hands are then magnified. Well, it's, he's the largest ones of all. It's ridiculous. There were too many hands in that shot. Oh, one of them was Roger Morris, supposedly. Okay.
Starting point is 00:43:43 Look how much he's shaking. Hey, hey, hey, he's nervous. I've decided. Yeah. Look at those nails. I think by like my fifth movie, I'd ask that they find a hand double. I'd go crazy if my nails were that long. I can't stand having long nails.
Starting point is 00:44:08 That's aiko is a pricey. Really? Yeah. Oh, God. Love that logo. So silly. Speaking of 10-year-old Matt, here he is. Operating the camera.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Hey. I mean, you're getting. Return of the Jedi and Octopussy all in the same summer? And me. Yeah, that's right. Well, 83 was the best summer for everything. At least acknowledged. That poor woman.
Starting point is 00:44:46 When you put that, I know, I know like it's a different world, but when you really put that in context of today, like imagine a guy coming in. I think still putting it in context of them. Yeah. It's, I mean, that goes without saying too, but I'm just to imagine if someone did that today. Although it would be pretty funny If you did it ironically I don't think there is such a thing
Starting point is 00:45:12 There's some irony left in this world Your table's ready It's my mustache, I'll lay down Would you like a hammock? It's a hell of a stash Oh, Margo's going scroll watching Or maybe she's going to lead us Right to that puzzle piece
Starting point is 00:45:33 She ate it she's doing that sneer again it must just be a thing that's her smile i never noticed that before that's the beauty of these movies you can watch it for the hundredth time and find something new that's so silly jamesbond doesn't value his life we know this now i'm gonna look matt to see if they did one splash page with just kew's hand that's a centerfold yeah it's a fold out that'd be amazing also i wonder when this was written because i think I think I just saw a scene that's not in this movie. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:46:42 There's a few little differences in here, man. Yeah, I can't wait to dig into that thing. I mean, come on. Now you've got the song being incorporated into the score. You just can't beat it! It takes up a third of a panel. And even then, I think they're doing the real cute favor. They're doing them in favor.
Starting point is 00:47:04 They are doing them a favor. I love the escape as dramatized in a comic. book. Roger Moore's skin can only be described as medium rare. Like, what shade of leather would that be if I were to go upholster a chair with Roger Moore's skin? Salmon. That was an interesting left-right eye movement by Roger Moore.
Starting point is 00:47:50 She keeps all that jewelry on when she has sex, huh? Wouldn't you? I know I would. I put it on. I actually put an entire jewelry. box worth of jewels on. A Louis Jardin. Louis Jardin. There's a 1983 sort of state of the James Bond franchise breakdown in the back here, which is delightful.
Starting point is 00:48:39 I love it. Look at Louis Jardin is holding the saw blade. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you think that guy that had the sawblade yo-yo situation? Do you think he sort of invented it himself? No. Do you think he picked it up at some sort of arms bazaar? Oh, you're talking about the character? Yeah. I think he, yeah, I think he invented it himself. Or like his dad, it's an heirloom yo-yo saw.
Starting point is 00:49:11 His dad was a big table saw fan. We. I'll be by with a silk sheet. Nothing more. Oh, it's on a track. It does look like an autopia track. Oh, what's the point then? You know?
Starting point is 00:49:51 Yeah. Just take it then. Oh, no. Don't find logic problems in the greatest movie. You're right. You're right. I love that the octopusy ladies are wearing greatest American heroes. Uniforms. Believe it or not, I'm Louis Chordan.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Kitty, you hear that? You hear that? She's just obsessed with squirrels. Amanda scattered a bunch of bird seed all over the ground, and now we've just got rats coming out of the woodwork. Literally out of the woodwork out of the deck. Squirrels, rats, and birds. and she just, Margo just sits there and stares at them long.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Just salivates. Yeah. Like, uh, me walking by a buffet. Yeah. She's fixed on it. Is there an animal out there? Do you see you? I do not.
Starting point is 00:50:44 There's lizards too. If you're interested. Yeah, she's looking at us. She's telling us not to judge her. What is that woman playing? A Vulcan harp. It's really not a lap pool. It's more of like a, uh, uh,
Starting point is 00:51:06 It's the best. It's more of a pool that you sit in. Yeah. Because there's so many blocks of cement, decorative blocks of cement in the middle of the pool. Oh, to be 10 again, Matt. Ah, to be the owner of that Louis Jordan suit. I don't know if I'd ever wear that much brown, but I like it. You know, I think he dressed like the room.
Starting point is 00:51:33 He always dresses like whatever room he's going to. He's a chameleon. He wants to be able to blend in. In case I need to hide behind it, pull. Like the thuggy, which is also in India. I have a khaki suit. Now that makes me want to get a brown shirt. Don't.
Starting point is 00:51:50 Why? You're not going to pull it off. What do you mean? You're not lose your time. And you're never going to be in a room like that. I'm going to try it. You know what? I'm not here to crush your dreams.
Starting point is 00:52:00 Let's get you a brown shirt. Thank you. What is that? Broken up tuna? Broke of tuna. It's weird that you're eating dread of tuna. All these fish. I bet she doesn't make mistakes.
Starting point is 00:52:27 No. Because she's octopuses. That's right. Octopuses. Ugh. What an annoying drive. Yeah, that would make me as sick as I could ever be. Yeah, I'll get nauseous sometimes, like, curving around Mulholland coming down out of the hills or something.
Starting point is 00:52:51 I'm trying to cut through to get back home. I mean, there aren't many movies where James Bond doesn't wind up in a furnished bedroom of an enemy's palest. That's true. I mean, if you're going to have bars on a window, there are worse places to be. Don't toss it. What if he dropped it? Did you ever see Swamp Thing?
Starting point is 00:53:31 Mm-hmm. Or he's the bad guy in that? Yeah. Yeah. I watched that on my honeymoon. Remember the Swamp Thing TV show? No, but there's a new one. There was an old one?
Starting point is 00:53:45 Yeah. There was? Derek Mears is playing the new Swamp Thing. huh boy I bet he wishes he had Q's fancy door now they show it like it is yeah that's weird is this the most tuxedo
Starting point is 00:54:08 James Bond movie oh that's a good question two so far can you think of another Bond movie that has two tuxes other than Casino Royale probably because he changes clothes but that doesn't seem like it counts
Starting point is 00:54:23 I feel like there's always just one scene in a tuxedo. Yeah. Except for Casino Royale, because he's in a tuxedo every day. There are dinner jackets, and there are dinner jackets. This is the Lata.
Starting point is 00:54:52 This guy is going to eat some eyeballs, and it's going to be gross. Yeah. He's asking the same questions you're asking. I'll be to introduce you to Dr. Kaufman. Oh, my God, what I was in this too. Hello, Mr. Bond. What an odd guy, Louis Jordan is?
Starting point is 00:55:48 But, like, stuff with what? That's my question. A smaller sheep's house. A lamb's head. It's the turduckin of sheep's heads? I forgot they make that weird connection of eyes. Oh, yeah. Is this Glenn too?
Starting point is 00:56:05 Yeah. What do you think that's made of? What a run. Egg. It's probably like a quail egg. It looks like it's just a yoke. And I didn't mean that like I said joke wrong. He really felt like he was going to blow a kiss.
Starting point is 00:56:29 Yeah. Until tomorrow then. Avoy. Maybe Wednesday? She loves them all the same. That feels like a... It also feels like a Roger Moore ad lib. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Mm-hmm. For an hour or two. Had no intention to do. Blah, blah, blah, blah. What are you looking at over there? Right now, well, I started by wanting to look up the goat scene to see what they said
Starting point is 00:57:33 what the egg was made out of and then I got very off track Child monkey brains snake surprise You know we finally do Indiana Jonesing eventually It'll be interesting to rewatch Temple of Doom
Starting point is 00:57:52 A movie I probably haven't seen since 1993 It's crazy that this is copying Raiders a bit and then Temple of Doom ended up copying this. Well, it didn't copy it, but it all set in India. Yeah, yeah, but there's a whole Faberjeet egg chase. This is Sunker of Stones.
Starting point is 00:58:13 Fortune and Glory. You know, that's a pretty fancy helicopter. This is where the plot really starts confusing us. Yeah, this is where it leaves you behind. Although, I do like I do like the way he moves. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:09 Okay, so they knocked him out, supplied him with a full Safari outfit just in case. Yeah, where did he get that Safari outfit? I guess that was just in his room. Or you could just honestly be wearing the same thing just inside out. It's the logic.
Starting point is 00:59:26 It used to be a hat. It's the logic the movie has now established. It's canon. It's one thing to have a Safari jacket. it, but the whole suit, I might have to try to find me one of them. Oh, my God. Speaking of handsomely aged people from this movie,
Starting point is 01:00:08 Yeah. Gabinda. Oh, yeah, let me see. Good Lord, yeah. That guy's got it coming and going. To have a head of hair like that, Matt. Yeah. How does this help them get a nuclear missile into an Air Force base?
Starting point is 01:00:31 I forget that that's even... How does that help that? Part of this. there's something about funding it with fake treasures. I don't know. Yeah, but like, all right. So they fund it with fake treasures. But, and the octopusi circus, they're just there for stealing things?
Starting point is 01:00:55 I don't know, friend. I don't know. I'd put this up there with Diamonds Forever in terms of kind of how complicated the plot is. we did genuinely like that movie lost so many points for me on our last watch through whereas this one right now still feeling great about it oh yeah it's funny that this is the part that's transfixing us there's always a scene but we warned you this is a easy listening commentary i imagine you listener you've got one of those l-shaped couches and you're you've managed to spread your legs so that one leg is on each perpendicular angle of the couch.
Starting point is 01:01:52 Can't be comfortable, first of all. Unless you're a gymnast. Or you're boarding the old sleds on the matter horn. That's just how relaxed you are. You've got your back propped against the corner of the couch. You're watching this. I've got to be honest with you. I don't know that he really would see that thing that looked was the exact same color.
Starting point is 01:02:15 I don't think so. the broken carriage. But that's the only flaw. I love that little trumpet blast. John Glenn does not know how to do a jump scare. No. I mean, I'd fix yourself a gin and tonic if I were you listening to this and watching this. Hell, I'd drink one right now.
Starting point is 01:02:38 But I'm already halfway to falling asleep. This would be the best Bond movie to put on to go to bed. I've done it. and quite frankly, I've never regretted it. What are the other, like, relaxing? Any of the older Connery ones, the pacing and the music is plenty slow enough. Sometimes I'll have a problem where I'm waking up to gunshots. Yeah, see, that's the problem.
Starting point is 01:03:07 And also, I think the ones with, like, with water don't really work because it's a little too daylight and sunny. Like, this one's a bit more. Oh, you just dim it up, Matt. You just take that iPad down. No, it's not the visuals. It's the feel. the tone.
Starting point is 01:03:23 So like I think something like this, Spy Who Love Me, even maybe Moon Raker. Of course I'm picking the ones with the soft, easy listening songs. That's probably why. Is that a picture of Roger Moore behind him? Like he loves the guy so much? Or is that just because if that's not a picture of Roger Moore,
Starting point is 01:03:42 what you're telling me is he just keeps a picture of himself, like a headshot of himself. It is a picture of himself. I remember we talked to. Just chilling out? Yeah, I forgot about that. We talked about that last time. on Octopusy Strong. Yeah, but that was like, you know, so many hours ago.
Starting point is 01:03:58 Listen, if you've now listened to this commentary. And Octopussy Strong. And the Octopusy before that. Hashtag us, Octopusy Strong, Strong. Octopus Strong, strong, strong. Strong. A strong for each one you've made it through. So anywhere from one to three.
Starting point is 01:04:18 Anywhere from one to three strongs. Yeah. You could be Octopuses strong, strong, strong. It's a good sound mix. I love these that are in charge of getting rid of the bodies. Do you hear that little percussion off to the left? Sure do. We!
Starting point is 01:04:46 Oh yeah, speaking of jump scares. Wait, so that's just a mass grave that they don't bury anybody in. Right, and it seems like they then are in charge of going down the hill and collecting the bag. Yeah. Weirdo. I love it. Sport. comments. I love it. He's so delighted by it.
Starting point is 01:05:15 I mean, if he wanted to do that so badly, I think he just should have been like, now I'm going to hunt you. Yeah, I agree. Oh my God, he's accidentally in a Halloween store. His old Borders music has now turned into a Halloween headquarters. That looks like a Star Wars set. It's got to be nearly impossible to shoot something accurate. on the back of an elephant. Well, it's part of the sport.
Starting point is 01:05:49 I see. It's the world's first video game. We finally get this joke. Okay, there's a wacky joke. It happens. We know it's a reference to some British thing. And then you get the Tarzan yell. Also, the Return of the Jedi Tarzan yells this year.
Starting point is 01:06:17 That's crazy. What kind of zeitgeist shit is that? And when did Tarzan, The Legend of Grace, come out. Did they do post at Pinewood? And they just borrowed? Honestly, it could be the same sound department. No, because it's a wookie do in the other one.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Let me see what Tarzan has the legendary Grey Tocke is. Hang in there, Matt. Tarzan the ape man is 1981. Where's that Greystoke one? 84. So maybe they were watching this. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 01:06:59 This and Empire? Yeah. Time's never been more right to do another Tarstoke. Tarden. Classic belt comedy. What a weird editing choice. I know. I'm very confused by the village that chooses to go out there and hunt with him by following behind.
Starting point is 01:07:33 The village, it takes a village. Yeah, but it seems to me like to hunt with an elephant, you probably need like one guy to clean up the elephant poop. No, you let it ride. Oh, you just look. You're in the jungle. From whence it came. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 01:07:54 Oh, my God. So we are being asked to believe... That really made me want to do this. We were being asked to believe that he makes the choice to do that. That's worse than the Beach Boys song to me. I agree to a point. Because the Beach Boys ones, at least is within the world of the filmmakers. This is James Bond going, I'm going to do a little Tarzan yell here.
Starting point is 01:08:17 he he he he's making a joke for the sake of his enemies this is uh john glen all over yeah you know pigeon double take came from john glen tarzan yell under john glen's watch yeah i put that up there i think it's not as bad as the return of the jedi won because what in what world does tarzan exist in you said it was a wookie it's an iwok right no it's it's uh it's uh Chewy with two Ewaks on him. Oh, and you're assuming the sound is coming from chewy? It's 100% coming from it. And not that the Ewks who've perfectly learned to mimic him?
Starting point is 01:08:55 Those two Ewoks could be the rich littles of the Ewak village. No, they're not. They're decidedly not. They are the shittiest impressionist in all of Bright Tree Village. What do you think's happening on the forest moon of Andor right? The Tarzan doesn't exist in a galaxy far, far away, and a long time ago. Well, then you'll just have to assume that the yell in the... that galaxy is perhaps a rallying cry from Kashik.
Starting point is 01:09:29 I can't get over how good an artist he is in that he at some point had all those colored pens. Oh, look at Vijay's Terry Cloth Polo. Yeah, I mean... Do you notice what I'm wearing? Oh, hello. Terry Cloth Polo. You really do them in summer right now. Jay Cruz sells them.
Starting point is 01:09:47 I can't get enough of them for wearing them around the house. I love an out and about polo as well. Yeah. But an in and around. Look at Q using the keyboard. He can't. He's trying to press one key with one finger and he presses eight keys. Oh, S-O-S-F, could you help me here?
Starting point is 01:10:06 I'm trying to type Q, and it just keeps coming up quick. I only hopes to hit the right one first. Of course. Oh, God, I'd love to have that thing. I believe it's still over at E-on. It's probably in the bonded motion thing, right? Yeah. Boy, we really, we should have timed it better, man.
Starting point is 01:10:29 We should have both been able to go to Bond in Motion. We were at the London Podcast Festival last year. I know. I really want to go to that secret cinema thing. I'd like to go to Magic Mountain. What? And ride one of their tallest rollercoasters. That's unrelated.
Starting point is 01:10:52 How hot would it be in Magic Mountain right now? Oh, God. Like, I don't think you could sit. in a ride without it burning your legs. You couldn't pay me. I wouldn't for a thousand dollars going that heat. I was so. That's Valencia.
Starting point is 01:11:08 I went to Anaheim the other day for a location scout and it was so hot inside of the park, inside of Disneyland. And then we went out and scouted an empty, one of the empty parking lots that they were going to let us use. And it was about 20 degrees cooler in an, on a, a blacktop parking lot because it wasn't full of people. We were like in the dead of the sun too. It was very interesting.
Starting point is 01:11:36 I mowed my lawn today and I just about passed out. Oh, you. And my lawn is about 40 square feet. Yeah, but a gorgeous 40, you know. North gorgeous 40. Look at this costume. Costume. It's an outfit.
Starting point is 01:11:55 Is that thing on his pocket for bullets or pens? I think it's for a tire gauge, Phillips head, maybe a 10 millimeter. A pen flashlight, a pen light. Look at her gentle little ginger shake. That ain't going to do anything, but I'll take it, Maude. I'll take it, you old softie. I got to get Amanda that robe.
Starting point is 01:12:19 And I got to get me that sweet colorless vest. Look at that thing. Nice touch, by the way. She makes him the martini and she takes some champagne. That's basically they just took that from the Battlestar Galactica costume rack. Feels like there were 17 actors in England at that time and four costume racks. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:42 Look at that robe is slit all the way up the side. Wow. Come on. You go swimming. That happens? This is referencing the property of a lady store. Story. She just poses.
Starting point is 01:13:22 Jokes on him. She knows that. Great line. Pussy. Now, do you think that the instructions came with their costumes? I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but I think I know what you mean. Oh, look at him. Well, you know, the whole thing of Greatest American Hero.
Starting point is 01:14:10 He doesn't know how to use the costume. Oh, that's right. They lost the instructions. Oh, yes, yes. They were going to reboot that. They did a pilot, I believe, for CBS last year. Yeah, Amanda was up for the friend role in that. I think it sounded like it was going to be a hoot.
Starting point is 01:14:25 Didn't happen, right? No. He's pissed? Yeah, he was going to stay in there. Yeah. And now he doesn't get what he wants. Is it Midge or Medge? It's a great.
Starting point is 01:14:56 Maybe it's Madeline. And it's called Madge. Let me look that up. You think she's even on that hand? I think she's probably just Octopusy's circus. She's better be Midge or Medge. Let's see here. Oh, man, it's all the henchmen he beat up earlier.
Starting point is 01:15:14 Plus a saw guy. Wait. It's literally all the henchmeny behavior. Has he already, have we already met Penelope Smallborn? Maliby Smallbone. Or is that later? She's in this. She was Money Penny's assistant.
Starting point is 01:15:28 Did that already happen? Yeah. I'll be damned. I must have fallen asleep. That was at Q's office. I mean, M's office. Q wishes, that was his office. Publicity still I found of James Bond.
Starting point is 01:15:41 Here, that's the guy we need you to kill. It looks so not practical. No. It's a dido blade, though. It's double-sided. Do a nice dito cut in there. Dido? Isn't it dado? That's what I meant.
Starting point is 01:16:15 Wait a minute. The guy that plays whoso9 in this is an uncredited specter henchman and never say never again. Whoa He's in crawl too Holy shit It's all connected It's all connected Oh my God
Starting point is 01:16:32 He's in for your eyes only too You just blew the lid off of this thing man He's in Flash Gordon He's Hawkman with Timothy Dalton Get out of here Get out of here It's too late I'm already living here Oh no
Starting point is 01:16:41 That's crazy And he's in the Avengers With Patrick McNee And for all I know Either Honor Blackman Or Teresa de Vincenza? He probably just lived in a house very close to Pinewood.
Starting point is 01:16:59 Yeah. Or maybe he was like the resident janitor. All right, let me see. I got sidetracked. I was looking for Midge. Oh, that's right. The two U.S. generals are both from Empire Strikes Back. Oh, man, this is good.
Starting point is 01:17:20 It is Midge. Oh, and that's her father. Wait, so is she named Midge short for Midgeet? I don't know. was a member of dance groups pans people and Ruby Flipper. Oh, you know, if you didn't see Ruby Flipper at their height. Or their lack of height. You missed out.
Starting point is 01:17:45 She's in 1979's The Bitch as Disco Girl. I mean, she's also not, I don't think she's that small. Those are two very tall people. She looks pretty small. It's Mon Adams and Roger Moore. That's interesting. You know, this offer that comes. across his plate to join Octopussy's ring of octopusing.
Starting point is 01:18:15 Yeah. You wonder, you sort of, I think that'll be an interesting aspect of Bond 25, sort of like, what does a retired James Bond do? Right. How does he putter about? Where does the money come from now? So I don't know who Octopussy Girl is, but she's this girl. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:34 And, let me see if I can find her picture. She's also the girl in the iceberg submarine in View to a Kill. Oh, well, there you go. Who is she an octopus pussy? I'm guessing one of the circus members. She's very fetching. Roger, she did not want that kiss. She's fighting it because she knew she wanted it.
Starting point is 01:18:57 Yeah, she's like one of that. Yeah, one of the girls. Just one of the girls. Listen to that. Is that the chandelier from fucking Diamonds or Forever? It might be. Oh, my God. Peter Frank smuggled it in.
Starting point is 01:19:15 she get it down from the satellite? Carol Ashby, that sounds familiar. She's in view to a girl. View to a girl. Her name is Octopusy Girl as well, and she's the whistling butterfly lady. They just rolled all these girls over into view to a I bet Cubby was like, hello, my darlings.
Starting point is 01:19:33 Would you like some spaghetti? Oh, my God. How about some steamed broccoli? That's crazy. You know, my family brought broccoli. And whoever Johnny Z is, was just an octopussy girl and that's it. This is the number one feel the worst for death in all of James Bond's henchmen's.
Starting point is 01:19:53 Mathis is a close second. To other people, they're henchmen. Yeah, who are the saddest deaths? I'd say this is the saddest of just allies. Mathis would be a close second. Mathis is less sad because Mathis was sort of, had resigned himself to it. I also always feel sad when that guy
Starting point is 01:20:13 in four your eyes only gets it. it. Yes, because he finally turned a corner. Yeah. Oh, no. Sonders, too. Oh, yeah. Sonders as well. Definitely. Wait a minute. Dickie Graden is in this. He's Francesco the fearless. Oh, my God. Yeah, you're really blowing the lid off yourself with this internet movie database. Because it's an all-time high. Don't take my hotel. Do you know what I just saw? Look at this. Look at this.
Starting point is 01:20:47 See these sanding marks on this wood? It would drive me crazy. Right across the front of the eye, I would have been like, I would have been cut. Flip it around. You're going to have to live with it. Flip it around. But the other side's worse. It's like a 120 grit right there.
Starting point is 01:20:59 Come on. That's deep. That's deep. That's deep. That's deep. It's supposed to be sort of plastic. I don't care for it. I want it to look just beautiful.
Starting point is 01:21:10 I'm sorry. Put a 2K clear coat on there. There's the other side. You get to see the other side now. Wet sand it up to 3,000 grit? That chill shine, Matt. Turning to Matt and I's Home Improvement podcast
Starting point is 01:21:29 about obviously Tim Allen's series Home Improvement. Home worsening podcast. Do you think that bed still exists? If they rented it, yes. I don't think that was a rental. You never know. I feel like that guy could have thrown his axe
Starting point is 01:21:54 and probably had better luck than the guy that's trying to make a dovetail joint. Yeah. Dato, Daito. I call it Daito because she's so delightfully singing, you know? Yeah. Classic flip around to avoid being strangled. You know, it's funny. It's a flaw I even forgot about with that terrible weapon.
Starting point is 01:22:28 and that he's got a cast on. That guy broke his arm. Practicing? Yeah. No, James. Of all the things. Of all the things. How did he do that one? That's a good question.
Starting point is 01:22:55 I'd like to know the answer to that. She could handle it? Yeah, I think she's going to handle it too. Oh, I forgot they're nice people. maybe that's why it was sanded. That's some good acting by midge right there. That's a real person in with that giant crocodile. What if he floated up to the surface
Starting point is 01:23:32 riding the back of the crocodile submarine? Don't worry, it's just a submarine. She loved him. More than she's ever loved anyone this week. I wish Q was out there having a traditional Viking funeral for him. just about to light it and push it off to see for Vijay. Vijay's past. I'm just about to light this.
Starting point is 01:24:02 Thank God you're here. Look, that's a set. Ugh. That must have been brutal cue. I'm so sorry. And he also said I really thought I'd make it to the state someday. No more problems. He probably didn't have a single problem until you got there, James Bond.
Starting point is 01:24:32 So you're saying he's saying that VJ's in a better place. Yeah. Like, better for him. I don't think... Starkey and Hutch just drove by? All right. Time for Walter P.B.K. All right.
Starting point is 01:24:57 What is this the start of the third act? It's a long third act, if I remember correctly. So it costs two whatever's to enter the Eastern block. According to that sign that said prices on it. That could have been advertising gas prices. I don't know. So how many versions of this clown outfit exist? I was always more of a Grishka fan.
Starting point is 01:26:05 I think Mishka's like, fine. It's very weird that the clown on the brochure slash signs looks so much like Roger Moore in clown makeup. Some of those look just, they're just kitchen knives. I mean, if you're going to throw a knife, At a, at a, at a, at a, at a gishka. No better way to do it. Wait, there's the octopussy girl.
Starting point is 01:26:46 That's the girl from Vito Kill right there. So she goes, after octopussy, this whole thing happens. She just gets a job at MI6. Well, she probably like, saw what James Bond did, how he saved those people, became interested in this profession, and then just applied to the right place. Grisca. I mean, look at this. Have they shown the, uh,
Starting point is 01:27:21 Miss Whedon herself. Did they do the human cannibal? No, they have not. I think that's Dickie Graydon, who's like, he's always in those documentaries, the inside documentaries. He's really funny. The thing that I thought was very funny about the signage here is that the clown caricature that's painted on the sign for the circus and the brochure that he finds, it looks
Starting point is 01:27:48 just like Roger Moore in a clown costume. Yeah. we are very serious about our circuses. It's canon. We like. He looks like he's bidding on an egg. I mean, let's talk about it. To get a job as the human cannonball, I'm sure you must provide and bring your own cannon.
Starting point is 01:28:22 I guess. But that's all you do. Yeah. Like, you think those clowns that have slaved away forever, they went to clown college, they saved up for it, they perfected their character, their craft. do you think they love carrying around the fucking human cannonball every circus to arousing applause they put effort in they went to college they went to clown college canonballing is just trade school or like correspondence course Susan Struthers oh yeah
Starting point is 01:28:52 VCR classes to clowns uh to cannonball human cannonball i never noticed all the octopsy girls casual human cannonball dress to let's get in with the community. Never noticed that. Now, Matt, holy fuck what I wouldn't do for one of those sweaters. Which, oh, the sweatshirt? I bet somebody makes them. They're probably on Etsy.
Starting point is 01:29:24 Well, I'll be right back. What was the picture? It's just the logo of the octopusy circus. I'm going to find it now. There might be two heading our way if it exists. Oh, yeah, that'd be amazing. Oh, interesting. Is it made of candy?
Starting point is 01:29:44 Look what it recommends for me immediately. Oh, Roger Moore, that picture of him drinking than smoking. I mean, his jacket has the logo on it, too. Yeah. Love it. Only one person cares about their eyes there. I like his suit, too. Strangely tailored, though, his sleeves are short, or his shirt's long.
Starting point is 01:31:07 I still get flashbacks of being in the theater when I see this movie, like the smell of popcorn. I think I said this on Vue to a Kill. It just makes me feel like it's summer. I'm not even sure this movie came out in the summer. I know Vuto A Kill did. I think this one did too. Matt, do you think you'd fit in a medium T-shirt from Malaysia? No, I found an even better shirt for you, my friend.
Starting point is 01:31:40 Oh, I think I would, yeah. 007 Octopus All-Time High. Oh, my God. vintage from the 80s. Is it from the 80s or it's made now? It's from the 80s. Oh my God. This guy looks familiar too.
Starting point is 01:32:08 We should have a this guy looks familiar podcast. Yeah. Did someone look familiar to you? Tell us all about it. It's essentially what I was there too was. What do you think this guy's name is? This guy is probably Rupov
Starting point is 01:32:33 nuclear technician Let's see if I can find him If he doesn't have a picture There's nothing I can do I mean if you're going to go for an aesthetic 1983 was the best year ever Cool logo You Etsy folks out there
Starting point is 01:32:55 You Vancouver Canada Etsy person With that T-shirt that says 83 on it You're a genius Bha Bha What is it mad at do you. When you got a job to do, you got a job.
Starting point is 01:33:21 I mean, it wouldn't be a Bond movie without a third act lull. And we don't mean LOL, everybody. This is where you're under your blanket, you dozing off a little bit. That's okay. In fact, we're going to talk in hushed tones. Octopus, he's dressed like a school teacher. I gotta go, bye. Look at this train cabin is decorated like a rich person's living room.
Starting point is 01:33:48 all beige though it's like a cornwall kerosene and tar train car or anyone out of player plays red dead redemption will appreciate that reference
Starting point is 01:33:57 oh I bet James Bladen one hushed calm easy listening podcast commentary tones I don't know what you're going for
Starting point is 01:34:18 what you're going as for Halloween this year man but I might have found your costume let me see what is that oh my God it's the whole
Starting point is 01:34:30 It's the whole get-up. You want a Toro General hat, a mustache, and some sunglasses and a wig. Somebody just sells that whole kit? Yep. The world has gone crazy. It shifts worldwide from Greece. What? Ooh.
Starting point is 01:34:56 There's still 40 minutes left? Yeah. Well, look. How is that possible? Well, there's so much has to happen. First of all, we got a hold of that car chase that has to happen on some train checks. The cannon comes into play nicely there. Isn't it just the car chase and the diffusing and then the attack on the palace?
Starting point is 01:35:19 Oh, and then there's the airplane sequence. Oh, my God, yeah. That still doesn't seem like it would take 40 minutes. Hi. Oh. Too soon. There's the Redmond General. The Octopussy Nuclear Missile thing of a middeme.
Starting point is 01:35:44 jiggy carrying case we'll call it capsule i guess that's the diamond carrying case capsule wait so he's doing it just for diamonds or does he want to start a war he wants to start a war and the diamonds are going where i don't know
Starting point is 01:36:00 just fucking pull the trigger james his reaction is so good so laity da but you're not really a secret because i know about you now you even have a little theme tune I love when Roger Moore goes serious Roger Moore's a good actor when he wants to be
Starting point is 01:36:45 Well yeah I think he's a good actor all the time Because I think he wants to be like he is When he's playing James Bond But he's not like he's often playing a tongue-in-cheek character Here he's really acting he's pretty good He knows when to shift You know Yeah
Starting point is 01:37:00 I wonder why they swapped out his gun in this one Boy that guy That guy really Strange Had it coming Because he opens the door with a little smile on his face. Look, ah, I forgot to tell you, my son was born today.
Starting point is 01:37:31 He was working up the courage all day to say something nice to the general. Yeah. And he was finally going to do it right there. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. I mean, his vest game in this movie. Yeah. He only has a vest game. Leather vests, worst the vests.
Starting point is 01:38:12 But great for knife throwing. His vest in for U.S. only is pretty great. Yeah, it's like a barber vest. What? I've never seen that before. Yeah. I like that it's just, it's canonical that James Bond can do that. What an action-packed car to own, man. The Mercedes Saloon he's currently driving on the railroad tracks.
Starting point is 01:38:47 Oh my God, on Corgi, they make that? I forget. Can we talk about this? Would the width of the wheels line up with the railroad tracks? It would have to be modified a little bit. bit. You know that for, how do you know that for a fact? That's what they tell us in Back to the Future.
Starting point is 01:39:06 I think you're, um, you know, when the Delorean has to go on the railroad tracks. I don't know. Hmm. Was that helpful or not helpful? You know what? Those double takes I buy. Yeah. Because it wasn't a pigeon.
Starting point is 01:39:26 No, they're humans. Why, why are we overcranking the camera, under cranking, whatever that was. That is a real worn-in gas pedal. That is a, that is a, that is a, that is. is a well-loved car, or was, I should say. Rear projection, flying cars. Jeez, that's quite a stunt. Oh, God, that guy had to get real hurt.
Starting point is 01:39:58 How did they time or know that was going to work? I think I hurt the fuck out of his leg, I've decided. This is where that stuntman got really, really hurt. Oh, hanging on the train, right? Yeah, and he hit like a stanchion or something. And I had to hold on for dear life. somehow the guy that got hit with a car and a boat wasn't the guy that got super injured.
Starting point is 01:40:25 Oh. Look at Stephen Burkhov acting even just silent in the back seat, somehow overacting. What is his move here? It's okay, friend. You're going to blow up soon. They're already getting that thing out of the water. Well, there's some real shit happening here.
Starting point is 01:41:01 That's a fuck ton of juggles. There's no way that's that guy's voice. I love Gogol I do too Did he too much of anything else Time to go back to Did he have to?
Starting point is 01:41:16 No That's right Because he lives forever In our hearts Matt Let's see Matt I'm gonna look at my phone For a little bit
Starting point is 01:41:26 So now you watch the movie But I've been talking the whole time Barely I'm still looking for an octopusy sweatshirt I can't find it Where's Google Walter Coteau He's a 169 credits
Starting point is 01:41:46 His last one was 97 Prince Valiant. Plus he was in the X-Files. What if he did the Tarzaniel in the guerrilla costume? You're not listening. McGiver. I'm listening to, I'm trying to do this. You told me to do this.
Starting point is 01:41:57 Cagney and Lacey. Which one was he? Cagney or Lacey? Speaking of Cagney and Lacey, when Henry was born, I saw Tine Daily in the waiting room of the maternity award. That's a good, good bonus. Good omen, right? Good omen.
Starting point is 01:42:14 One life to live, he was on. Miami Vice. He only had one. Spencer for hire. Oh, classic show. Shot in Boston. A team. That's weird that they didn't have any dialogue playing for him right there when he was clearly speaking and pointing.
Starting point is 01:42:30 Fantasy Island, you know who's in that. Yes, Ricardo Montevon. Airwolf, the fall guy. Why does he want to get to the train? To get the nuclear missile? To turn it off and be a hero? What is he doing? To go with it?
Starting point is 01:42:53 I don't know. Did he, like, leave his keys in there? I don't remember. I hope it works out for him. He does seem nice there. What a death. What a death. I mean, why?
Starting point is 01:43:27 I don't know. I've got a lot of questions about this octopusy train. There it is, just like we left it. Do you think that's just like, I guess it has to be, right? The art department's best guess of what a nuclear bomb would look like. Right.
Starting point is 01:43:52 Because I'm sure that's probably really never actually been made. They're all armored foreheads, right? Yeah. I don't think you want something that like is a Ron Popil artisory oven where you set it and forget it. I think you just sort of. But it looks pretty good. You need to actively launch something.
Starting point is 01:44:09 What other Bond movies have this? Goldfinger. Of course. There's another one where Connery pulls it at like two or one second. Yeah. When, and I was just like,
Starting point is 01:44:22 why wasn't this double of seven seconds? Because I feel like Goldfinger made me want that more than I ever knew. Yeah, but you can't repeat it. Yeah. Or could you?
Starting point is 01:44:31 It's living daylights. There's that one too. The detonator. That sound wasn't just the train moving. I forget he gets in a guerrilla costume. Clown costume, gorilla costume, 14 vests,
Starting point is 01:44:46 a safari outfit, three tuxedos. This is James Bond at his best. Why isn't their blood gushing? That's what he's thinking. Jesus. Jesus. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 01:45:06 James Bond was hidden by that gorilla suit in our view, but he would have seen him in plain. Well, when he turned around to go get the sword to yell here at, that's probably when James Bond made the switcheroo. We are established his switching skills early in the movie. with the Faberjé egg. Right. It's just as a larger scale. Third act,
Starting point is 01:45:30 we're beefing up his switching skills. Yeah. Hang in there, Matt. We're almost there. We're almost there. Oh, one thing I did want to look up, Matt, but I forgot to do was the, what kind of Walter this is.
Starting point is 01:45:47 I'll do it. Thank you. This is intense. I mean, to know that someone got so injured in this exact scene. It's crazy. Why don't we ever read about Tom Cruise breaking an ankle or something?
Starting point is 01:46:07 What are you talking about? The way he like does all the crazy stunts he does now. He literally broke his ankle. When? On Mission Impossible movie. Which one? The fourth or fifth one? See, I've never seen any of those besides the second.
Starting point is 01:46:20 That's right. Those are the best ones. I disagree. I think the best one is probably the first one, you know, with John Voight. I'm just kidding. it's not wait a minute it's a walther p5 and he uses it in both this and for your eyes never say never again do you think it was like they got wind of the walther he was using so they decided sure let's do it
Starting point is 01:46:44 yeah you'd think like um austin martin they'd kind of like start going here's our new james bond walther model i wonder if he's going to have his walther and uh new bond um you know is it's standard it's probably it's issue well as we know it's set up in fucking doctor no it's issued it's government property he doesn't he doesn't have a wall there well no he threw it off the bridge oh yeah yeah yeah yeah holy shit are we gonna look back at specter as the last Jedi
Starting point is 01:47:15 of bond movies what do you mean exactly like sort of just writing and writing the franchise into a hole it has to dig out of yeah maybe I have confidence thank God we have pervy and wadesy pervy and
Starting point is 01:47:30 oh this is great. You know, they're just running a light by it. They're static. There's a wind machine and a big old grip. And it works. Just moving a light. He'd be the worst that stealth kills because he yells every time he does something. Look how happy. Wait, you're not Mishka. And in a minute he knows he's dead. I like that guy's performance there. But which guy is it? That's Grishka.
Starting point is 01:48:05 I'm right, because he said Mishka. Yeah. Ooh, a sweet stunt. finally got off that train just like he wanted. The way James Bond prances away. Well, I mean, take the four momentum of that hill and just jump yourself forward. What was the last time you rolled down a hill? Probably college.
Starting point is 01:48:26 What a fun time that is. If you're out there and you're thinking about rolling down a hill, I encourage you. Do it. You won't get the vengeance you wanted. Yeah, if I was in the movie theater and it was 1983, I would have clapped right there. Yeah. Oh, man. Day of the Dead parade.
Starting point is 01:48:50 This is great. That's for 009. Who played Darrow in the movie Kroll. I'm sorry? A Codiac Bear, that can't be safe. So this movie is an Imperial Commander, a rebel general, and Boba Fett, all from Empire Strikes Back. Not to mention a steel-bending lady who's very strong.
Starting point is 01:49:16 It would be funny if she was told that nuclear bomb was there and she just threw it into the atmosphere because she's so strong. I just broke it in half. I can't believe he doesn't get a ride. You see, you see Roger Moore in a puffy shirt like that? How do you not give him a ride? I don't know. Does the octopus's a turkey?
Starting point is 01:49:48 I just call it the Octopus's turkey. Octopus's turkey? Does the octopussy cirque? Does it go to the base every year? Does it just travel air force bases? I don't know. Does she just, I mean, it seems like she conveniently uses it as a, these kids there should have been a shot of this car the way they treat james bond here this car should have driven off a bridge
Starting point is 01:50:09 yeah and hit the same guy in a boat no no i don't want them dead i just want them you know what yes it should have blown up and then gone off the bridge just as that guy got back in his fishing boat yeah look at that sweet jumper look at that ruby around her neck oh yeah and she doesn't know about the nuclear plan correct no i don't think she just thinks they're looking for the jewels that are in the thing that Gogglehead. Oh, these two. I love the fat people. Oh, my God, they're so sweet.
Starting point is 01:50:52 They're offering of beer and sausage. Whoa, look at those balloons fighting. I never noticed those. Wrestling balloons. That was cool. Oh, baby tiger. Oh, a giant ball. He's a little nervous.
Starting point is 01:51:09 Well, I mean, you hit a nuclear missile with a giant ball. Things happen. Man, this is exactly like where you got married. solving. Yeah. I'm sorry, but now's not the time to be a gentleman. Yeah, and also, like, we've established that, you know, you'll pretty much do anything for Queen and Country. But upsetting this woman who's on the phone with her, I'm going to guess, niece?
Starting point is 01:51:44 I love his look. All you had to do is be an American actor in London, and you were in every big movie. Dine Bureau hat nine auto-reserviates. Yeah, we know how to say that now. Oh, my God, that guy peeled out in a, what is that, a Citrian? Every slightly foreign-looking car is a Citrian to me. Yeah, or a sob. Nope.
Starting point is 01:52:08 I know sobs, my friend. Well, not me. You didn't have a sob? You strike me as you would have had a sob in, like, college. I never had a sob. No. They're architect's cars. What if he'd, is it, you know, it's ironic you say that because, oh, never mind.
Starting point is 01:52:28 Yes, he won't be disappointed. I've said too much. I must go. Do you play backgammon. Do you like dice mid of clay? Do you like midi-chlorians? What? That's not my trilogy, friend.
Starting point is 01:52:47 Are you kidding me, Matt? It's got to be covered. We're doing them all. Star Warsing. Should we call the podcast Rogue Fun? No. it's called Star Warsing. Stop it, everybody.
Starting point is 01:53:07 I don't know. Now you got me racing through names. Should we call it Let the Wookie Win? That's probably already the name of something. How are you hanging in there, listener? We've only got 48 minutes left. You know, a BMW motorcycle. We just saw one last week and tomorrow never dies.
Starting point is 01:53:35 And I got to say, I would like to make two different bondings. franchises. The boring one and the good one? It's already been made. But like the boring one is somehow delightful in a way. Like all this stuff. Yeah, I agree. All this run up to nothing. Well, I mean, not to nothing, but to the climax. I love how pleased those generals are with this theater. Well, you know, the boys in the 120th Fighter response team, they've had a rough year. and these guys just really wanted it to go over well for them and their families. Son of a gun.
Starting point is 01:54:30 I like you. You're Foxy. Son of a gun. Would you like to be the newest fighter squadron leader? Look, I like his, uh, this guy's top thinking, is it an alpha? Is it an alpha? It's an alpha. What?
Starting point is 01:55:00 Like, as if it weren't bad enough. Well, I mean, as we all know, the red curtain. probably also make shirts. Or the Star Trek red shirts. Oh, no. Monza. It's so hot in that Monza right now. I'm sure.
Starting point is 01:55:18 Stinky too, of it. That's right. Apes live. They were delightful. I've never, by the way, now that we're thinking about it, besides the movie with Johnny Depp and Christopher Wachin
Starting point is 01:55:36 that takes place in real time, Nick of Time, that movie. It takes place in real time? I didn't know. It's called him the nick of time. He's got to, like, kill somebody within an hour and a half or something. Whatever. Besides that, this is the longest countdown clock I've ever seen in a movie.
Starting point is 01:55:50 Really? Like, it's playing out in real time. I feel like it started at 100 minutes. I don't even remember what it started at, but it can't believe it's still going. I know. I am realizing I am usually lying down when I'm watching this movie. So sitting up. Matt, it's not easy.
Starting point is 01:56:09 I'm not going to fall to you if you want to lay down. I can't. It's where in my office. Maybe I'll prop my feet up a bit. Oh yeah. Why don't you lower that desk to foot prop level? That's as low as she'll go, huh? It goes a little lower, but...
Starting point is 01:56:25 Careful? Wait, I know there are clowns in here. You're telling me that that clown that is that clown is not at all like, who the fuck are you? Right. I think he is... Oh, that's fun. Slightly logical.
Starting point is 01:57:01 You know, so far this movie, makes a little bit more sense than diamonds or forever. He really took time to do the right makeup too. Well, he didn't want to be spotted immediately. Not in a cannon. Oh no, now that the jewelry's been taken off the train. I bet.
Starting point is 01:57:42 What if he was drunk and crazy and this wasn't happening? Uh-huh. Or we just stay here and die in a nuclear bomb. The clowns won't stop clowning. They can't. They went to college. there's a bomb in there let me shoot let me fire a gun at it let him go he probably knows how to deactivate that thing i've never seen before oh boy does he do it matt does he do it
Starting point is 01:58:39 maybe this is what i this is exactly what i was thinking maybe it was this one this clock was what i was thinking of they all think it's part of the show he still stole a car he's got a license to kill not steal yeah someone fired a gun at a nuclear bomb do they keep going with the circus yeah yeah Oh, they're leaving the tent. That'd be amazing. They're like, we're going to keep the circus going. We'll get this nuclear bomb cleaned up in no time. Look at those.
Starting point is 01:59:22 Look at that sword. I know. What was that? What do you kill with that? Falcour. That's like a Falcour killing sword. He flies over you. You're raised it in the air.
Starting point is 01:59:33 That's right. And then they have counterfeiting plates. What the hell? Well, now that he's got the jewelry, he's got to make a run for it. Perhaps that could hide in the trunk. do they know that their plan has been thwarted yet no they do not they think that bond uh died no wait she thinks bond died who thinks bond no one thinks bond died oh that guy again john glenn stop it's not that guy different guy but same same idea wait she caught him they you know how they
Starting point is 02:00:11 fire tranquilizers and stuff they're a nonviolent entity no i mean just that woman just caught that man with no effort well they're all they're all on damn teams. This is the plot of Oceans 8, right? I don't know, but why are some of them dressed like Greatest American Hero and some are dressed like slave late? Well, they have different tactical teams, you know, there's the distraction team,
Starting point is 02:00:41 then the extraction team, then the reaction team. And the people in the Greatest American Hero outfits are there. They're the primary kickers, you know? They're the best at kicking. Oh, maybe these people are the best of kicking.
Starting point is 02:01:00 She did look up like, I've run out of moves to do. Look at that mat painting back there, Matt. That's pretty great. That's just a backdrop, man. That's not a map painting. You and your degree. Get out of here.
Starting point is 02:01:31 Do you think that's modern? It's kind of like, it's delightful the premise of these circus, the circus people using their skills to rob things. Yeah. It should be a show. And fed. Also, pick up two cans of Diet Coke, please. And that the children.
Starting point is 02:01:53 It tastes better out of a can. Thank you. But also, I'd like to not be seen when I leave. So perhaps give me a mask. So does the backdrop become a mat when it's joining the set and the... What is the definition, man? It's actually a foreground painting on the... Well, not really.
Starting point is 02:02:30 It's on glass, right? And then the shot is projected into it. So it's a combination of painting live action. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Have you ever seen any of, like, the Star Wars map paintings on display? No. They look so amazing in the movie, and then you see them up close. They're almost, like, impressionistic.
Starting point is 02:02:51 They're not really, like, super realistic. And yet on screen, it doesn't even pick up that way. Well, you're also, like, looking at it so close, I assume, when it's on display. But still, it's incredible. That's a great shot. I like the care they take to, like, these, like, this would be, like, James, This is the only hot air balloon I could find. Are you sure?
Starting point is 02:03:21 It should have been the other way around that line. I bet that was the last thing they shot for the whole movie. That was day one. And then they were like, we can't, the rigging's not working. We can't lift it. Desmond's hands must be a little. What if it was a giant hand? It was suspending a little basket with the two of them.
Starting point is 02:03:44 It was like, go-go-gadgett hand. Is this the last Bond movie where like an art? Army comes to the rescue at the end? Um, I guess kind of in living daylights, there's the Mujahadine. Are there Brosnan ones that do that? I mean, there's like the literal army shows up in two of them. What?
Starting point is 02:04:09 Three of them. The literal army shows up. There's no like, there's no like big action sequence. No. Yeah, so this is like the last one you get at one of those. I love this when I was a kid when he slides. down the banister. That's a great luck, too.
Starting point is 02:04:31 And he's just wearing loafers, you know, dress loafers. We've always discussed the, I think his shoe choice is always wrong. Thank God he can't hurt the jewels, you know? Six bullets he fired into that thing, so he didn't hurt his junk. Fair enough. Not worried about his life and the need of those bullets at some point. Sony has been with this franchise from the beginning, almost. Oh, the Sony TV.
Starting point is 02:05:12 That was mean. Wait, what? I'm very confused now. What does she be put on the horse for? Is she one of the Octopussy girls? Are they in broad daylight? That's Mod Adams. Why are they in broad daylight now?
Starting point is 02:05:26 It's turned to morning. No. That's just broad daylight. He did it. I love it. you know, never say never again, also had a horse. That's right. Oh, Q, you old devil.
Starting point is 02:05:51 I wish that we then cut to a post-credit sequence of Q having bed them all. I won't make any hand jokes. And he pulls out an invention, which is an eight-tipped cigarette holder. They're all laying in bed smoking the same cigarette. An octopus cigarette holder. Just a little something I've been working on. God, if this horse sprouted Pegasus wings, I'd be even more in love of the movie than I already am. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:06:21 I don't quite get it. I guess they don't kill her for funzies. That's crazy. How did he do that? Damn it. I told you we shouldn't have had the option for hand rails. Yeah. It was $1,400 extra dollars.
Starting point is 02:06:54 And now look where it's gotten us. He should have smiled and waved. That would have been funny. Slash not appropriate for the moment, but I would have enjoyed it. That's pilot face is incredible. That's very funny. Here we are over the California desert. Well, you know, this is a deftifying situation, you know.
Starting point is 02:07:31 It's very impressive. Wow, that guy really did that. Yeah. Something like it. Who is it? Is it Vic Armstrong? I don't know. What is that?
Starting point is 02:07:48 that's a double take John Glenn loves his double take It's the 900th double take Oh man you just lost an engine That was real dumb Jimmy Out there Yes No
Starting point is 02:08:13 He puts a knife at his mouth I love it I mean I feel like it'd be the hardest To take a knife out of your mouth On top of a plane You know Yeah You think Tom Cruise saw this
Starting point is 02:08:38 And was like This is what I need to be doing What is Bond holding on on two. The antenna. And then he lets go, but then he has to grab back on right away. Yeah, to one of the handrails that they got as an option. Tan, they wanted tan corduroy seats, handrails, and a TV antenna.
Starting point is 02:09:00 Oh, boy. I'm just now remembering the physics argument. Me too. Not even an argument. We're just confused. No, it's right, but it still doesn't seem right. It just seems crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:09:14 But it's. lifting the tail and that's what brings the rest of it down. I guess. Wow. I forgot about that look. Every look he gives from the cockpit is worth a thousand Oscars. There's no reason he couldn't pull up after that though, right? Didn't Bond break the tail?
Starting point is 02:09:42 Andy's only got one engine right now. Again, he crashed into so much gasoline. I know. That highly flammable cliff. blew up. Very, very soft focus around the M, I mean, around the defense minister there. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 02:10:27 In-out is a little ridiculous. Yeah. In-out. That's what a hamburger's all about. Is that a saying? Yeah, in and out. I've never heard that in my life. That's what a hamburger's all about.
Starting point is 02:10:50 Don't worry, I've been fucking with M. I get two more weeks of vacation. Oh, yeah. I got to say, still love it. Oh, what's not to love? Still love it. Well, that brings season, whatever we're on.
Starting point is 02:11:14 Three. Three to a close. Cherry Gillespie, Midge. Let's hear it for Midge, everybody. Take a summer off. Thug with yo-yo. Way to go, William, Derek. I'm going to go off social media for a bit of the summer.
Starting point is 02:11:28 I'm going to just hibernate for a bit. I go off it all the time. I rarely ever do anything on there. It's great, man. You got to just, I think you should do longer stretches than you're even planning. But I'm just saying this podcast is going dark. Social media is going dark. We'd be back in the fall with some kind of things.
Starting point is 02:11:48 Yeah, that's true. And then we'll be back with James Bonning probably early next to our gearing up for Bond 25. Yeah, but I would also keep those feeds in there, everybody. because you never know. A trailer could drop. Anything could happen. Yeah, we might.
Starting point is 02:12:06 The bond signal could go off and we'd be forced. Yeah, I think if there's a trailer, when the teaser or something comes up, we're going to need to pop the signal up in this guy and talk about it. You know us. So we'll be around. Stay subscribed. Matt? Well, Matt, look, I just have to say,
Starting point is 02:12:25 just every time we do a season, I fall a little more in love with the franchise and us. Yeah, that's right. I'm in too strong and too deep. This was no different. In out. In out. Thank you for the Octopusy comic. I can't wait to read it.
Starting point is 02:12:40 Of course. I can't wait for you to tell us all about it on the next season. Yeah, everybody, that's about it for us. Look for more James Bonding in the future. And I'm still trying to get mad to Indiana Jones and Star Wars. They'll find a time. So look for those. It'll happen.
Starting point is 02:12:58 We love you. James Bonding. We'll return. doing so much more oh sorry you were so comfortable and under your covers and then i did that well it's time for you to get up anyway get to work good night jimony podcast
