Matt and
James Bonding podcast
Welcome to James Bonding,
Gorely, Gorely
Welcome to James Bonding.
My name is Matt.
My name is also Matt.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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...
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
All right.
I love this,
the Land Rover.
Sorry,
a range rover.
Oh, yeah.
Solid brown range rover.
What is it,
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
Four?
I don't remember either.
Three?
Three?
Could be one of those numbers.
Could also not be.
Again, lovers, not experts.
Right.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah.
Look at that awesome Mercedes limo.
What a loyal assistant.
I love that.
There's Jeremy Bullock.
Boba Fett.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
the Ed Sullivan
action
oh no
every time
I watched this movie
the sound in this
drives me a little crazy
why
it's so like
the way that the
dice sounds
hitting the leather
and the
and the
in his voice
he sounds a little
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
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...
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
oh I bet James Bladen
one
hushed calm
easy
listening
podcast commentary tones
I don't know
what you're going for
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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,
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?
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,
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
