We are Rollerball. Hey, everybody, welcome to the James Bonding Podcast. I am Matt. And I'm Matt, too. Gourley, that is. Myra, that is. Black Gold, Texas Tea. You're doing a lot of back and forth here.

I was just adjusting levels because I care about the sonic. Produced by Matthew Goreley. That's right. Matthew, James, Gourley. James, you know, it's a name that's fitting for this podcast. Three of my forefathers have that name. Oh, really? My father, from the last episode, we met my father.

Yeah, yeah, we sure did. My grandfather and my great-grandfather. That's amazing, and you chose to just go by Matthew. Yeah, I chose what name I was given. I mean, that's kind of rude to your father. No, they didn't want to give it to me for the reason. I don't know. Are they just tired of it?

That's a good question. Just try to slip it in? But everybody of my age is named Matt, as you well know. I'm not familiar. Well, look, the important thing is we're not alone here today. We are proud to introduce you to our new social media manager? Head of social branch. Head of social branch.

We're calling her S. But she has a name, and it's Emily. Emily, thank you for joining us today. Hi, thank you for having me. This is truly an honor. First, let's get your experience with dealing with all of this email and stuff, because I saw when you put out the call for questions for this, the mailbag episode, it lit up. It really did, yeah.

Are you sick of sorting through emails? No, I mean, there were a lot of them, but a lot of them were the same questions, too, which kind of made them easier to skip through. Sorry, everyone. Thank you, everyone. Yeah, see, they're made easier on you. That's what we're going for. What was the most asked question, unless that's one we're going to have to answer?

I don't know. There were a couple that I took that were really common ones that'll be on the list. But then there were others that were wanting you to do segments. There were a lot of people just wanting you to do segments from season one again, which I don't. That's okay. People can pitch that. So not questions demands. Well, the question was, would you do this?

It was a lot of it. Would you consider being like you used to be? Yeah. Yeah, so this episode of the podcast, we're here weekly, so we don't want to burn through all the James Bond movies so quickly. We had a down week. We just finished, I believe you just heard Goldfinger. That's right. So we were like, well, what should we do this weekend while we're waiting on a view to a kill?

And I said, why not do a mailbag episode where we talk back to those concerned with the James Bonding franchise? Also, waiting on a view to a kill episode is a perpetual state of happiness for me. Do you know how like I never enjoy a day off as much as I do the day before a day off? So like knowing view to a kill is in my near future. sure, I guess I could die. I mean, that's good. Where do you fall on a view to a kill? I love it.

This is a great room. It's maybe my favorite Roger Moore. What? It's so good. Let me show you this. Real quick, some guy tweeted in this picture of Roger Moore. In fact, I'll give this to you. We should put this up on Instagram or something.

This is Roger Moore. I presume shooting a view to a kill when he's in the studio on the, on the snowmobile with his full fur-lined hood, but the rear projection is turned off, and it's just him against the black background. Look at that. Oh, wow. Is that not rock and roll?

It looks like an ad for some very expensive jacket. Yeah, that's very cool. What do you think it is? Do you think it's the ad for the sunglasses or the jacket? I think it's for like brandy. It's an ad for brandy. Or rum. Instead of a St. Bernard bringing you rum, this guy brings you rum.

If I, you know, I think at some point in my life I will lose consciousness due to the cold. I hope when I come to. That's very sad. I hope when I come to. What? Roger Moore is there with some brandy. What? I would risk dying.

I just assume it's going to happen. You know, when I was a kid, I always thought, I used to go out in the snow quite a bit. I'm from New England. And I know I'm talking to two people from, from, you know, beach towns. But when I was a kid and I used to go out into the, woods, we had woods behind our house that went not super far, but I lived on the border of Lowell, Massachusetts and Tuxbury, Massachusetts, and Tuxbury's of like a ruraly farm-ish part of Massachusetts, and I would go out, and there was a rock wall that was put in in like the

1690s or something that would be the delineation of, by like John Adams? By someone between Lowell and Tewsbury, John Adams put it in there. And I would often go out as far as I could over that. wall, which was in my backyard, and there used to be like a, not even a pond, but it was just water that would freeze over, and you could ice skate back there. It was really like a Dickensian scene. Yeah. And I used to go out a lot by myself, and sometimes I would just lay there, and then I would always think, oh man, what if I just fell asleep and then died out here? What a morbid, I mean, I approve. Yeah, no, but I just assume I'm going to get tired walking

through the snow eventually in my life, and I'll probably go unconscious. But what I'm saying is I'm not going to die, but I will come to, and when I come to, I pray that Roger Moore is there. But maybe you do die, and that's the way you're greeted into heaven. You don't know you die,

but you're greeted by Roger Moore on a snowmobile. That's fine with me. That's the way I go. Emily, how do you want to die? That's an interesting question. I'm fine with any way that I don't see coming. I just don't want to know what's happening. If I could just, someone could sneak up on me and just take me out.

some point that's probably ideal so you don't want to go via hypothermia no certainly no you're okay although i hear i mean aren't you supposed to it's supposed to be sort of comforting at the end pleasant of the ways to go matt the ways i'm most interested in dying are probably the most painful and i'm not interested because they're painful i wish they weren't but i either want to go in quicksand or get shot you know quicksand sounds terrible yeah yeah i'll shoot you in the quicksand now i'm in like if you're in serious question if you're in the quicksand and you know it's all over for me would you like me to pull the trigger and put you out of your misery before you go all the way down you wouldn't rather help me out

i understand that might be an option let's just say if i go to help you i'm getting pulled into there's no way for me to save you in this scenario and you wouldn't you wouldn't go down with a brother i'm asking you what you want i want you to go down with me then i'm going down with you that's it we're going down together all right let's get to see emily here's our winchester it's got two rounds in it take us both so i don't have to go down with you no well i mean you're welcome to but i don't feel like you have earned that burden that we have for each other. But, you know, like a season of this podcast, then there may come a point where, yeah, you're expected to go down. Okay. Do you want the first question? Yeah. So let's hear from the mailbag.

Okay. This one comes from Bailey Hirschberg. They sign their letter in a well, which I really like is a sign off on a letter. Beautiful. Beautiful. In a well. Instead of like sincerely it was in a well. God. I hope that's widely used from here. I feel like that's... We have merch coming and quite frankly, in a well. Should be something. Should be something. Okay, so Bailey asks,

which James Bond movie could you survive and why? And it supposes that you are thrust into the role of the double-O agent going on this mission, but you're not James Bond. You're still you. Oh. So, like, which one is best suited to our specific traits that we would fare? I can... And you're still you with the knowledge of the movie as well.

So, like, you could use your knowledge of the movie to sort of... you're going to survive any movie because I just wouldn't know but you still have to succeed well let me ask you just try to complete the mission that's a good question are do we have any sort of authority do we have a license to kill in this scenario you're a double-o agent we are a double-o agent so we do have m's ear yes you have the gadgets too okay okay okay well i just want to say that i am prepared to take all of these questions 100% seriously and really give them the thought that they need well i can eliminate some immediately for myself. Okay.

If I'm James Bond. Yeah. I can't do Honor Majesty Secret Service because I cannot hang on a cable that long. I just don't have the upper body strength. How do you feel about wearing a kilt? Have you ever worn a kilt? Don't mind wearing a kilt. I'd be happy to like wear utila kilt at a rent fare.

All right. If you will. But that the first thing in my mind that James Bond has done that I can't do, that is it. Any hanging that he's doing? I can't do. I would just, I would drop to my death. Well, do we have to take things like, like neither of us can presumably fly a plane? You don't know that.

Well, that's why I'm asking. That's why I didn't want to assume. Presumably. I presume. Depending on how closely it matches Microsoft Flight Simulator 96, there's a chance I could fly a plane. Well, Quantum of Salas, for instance, that cargo prop plane that they're flying. But if I know the movie and I know what's going to happen and I'm a double-o-age in that situation, I'm going to be like, you know, We're not going to get on this plane because we're going to be shot down.

Yeah, see, this is where I think we need to define parameters. Like, do we have to go on the exact path of bond and still survive? Or can we use what we know to deviate? You can deviate, but you have to complete the mission. Oh, geez. I mean, what is, like, so realistically, the missions are, so let's go through one by one, right? Okay, but if we're being honest, it's a Roger Moore one, presumably a later era, Roger Moore, because he's doing less physically,

and that's going to be a little easier, I think. Yeah. But another question. Yeah. Maybe you don't know the answer to this, Emily. If, for instance, it's the man with a golden gun, is Skarmucci out there to kill me? Is Skarmonga, like, looking to shoot me?

I would think so, right? Or is he looking to shoot another? I would say yes. Okay. That was not in the email, but I'm going to use my own. I think as a messenger, you are now the arbiter of their intent, so we will take your ruling. Instead of the mooch, we should call them the mong. Okay.

I don't know why I'm gravitating toward octopusy for some reason, because I feel like, get me in a clown suit, I'll do something with that. Well, you know where the bomb's going to be, right? Yeah. So that'd probably be pretty reasonable. Otherwise, you're just on top of a train. Oh, but that airplane thing. at the end

that's pretty rough maybe I do maybe maybe the answer to this is diamonds are forever you could you think you could like tilt a Mustang up on its side I think I get A a weekend in Vegas

which I'm already on board for I know I've survived that sure so I can already know I can go to that locale not be too devastated by whatever's around me yeah I know that I can probably

uh handle shady tree and his acorns. But what about that car? You think you can get that car up on two lateral wheels? I think I could certainly try. Yeah, that's true. I'm in that chase. If you're saying I'm getting myself into the scenario where I'm in that chase also.

Okay, yeah, all right. And I certainly could operate a moon buggy throughout a desert. Yeah, that's no problem. I got that on me. I don't know if I could handle Bambian thumper, though. But I got to say, I think Diamonds are Forever is my answer to this question. we're all, it's Dr. No. He does nearly nothing in that movie.

Other than, like, he does effective spy work, but he's just kind of walking from police to face. In fact, the only time they play the theme is when he's just walking to his hotel room. He drives a car somewhat speedily. He does that, yeah, he does that chase. He plays solitaire waiting for a guy to come in and shoot him in the back, basically. So cool, though. It has to be Dr. Nile, because you also just take a boat and you skull.

through that layer. And you get Jack Lord. Yeah, you get him helping you. Also, your only real hand-to-hand combat is that one chauffeur and Dr. No. Although I will say the following real actual statement. Of all the skills that James Bond has, the one I am closest to him in matching is his poker ability.

Okay. So I could probably get through the Casino Royale game. But how you want your balls hit? Hard and often. Okay. Two for two. I'm going Dr. No, I think, and I haven't even really thought of all of them. You're going Dr. No, I'm going to say, real answer, diamonds are forever.

Secondary answer, Casino Royale. Point is, I needs to gamble. Okay. All right. Okay. Cool. This one's from David Malley. Now that we know that Bond has maybe canonically kissed some boys, what boys from Bond movie past do you think Bond likely kissed?

Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. And who would you like to see as a Bond boy in the future? Oh, yeah. Bond boys. Yeah. Never losing. Bomb boys. Okay, so who of the Bond Boys that we know from movies past has he possibly kissed?

I'll tell you. Who do you think we're most compatible with Bond? Okay. And this is per like Silva's little, uh, yeah, little sly wink. Okay. Well, Alec, right? I mean, from... Travelli?

Yeah, because they're kind of like... They are... Well, they did, yeah, they did share everything, even women. So I guarantee you their dicks touched. And they're pure narcissists, so they're probably kind of looking in a mirror going, like, I'm into this. Excellent answer. I bet there was some docking. I got to figure Bond's uncircumcised, right?

Why? I guess the English... He was born in the 30s and he's English? Oh, that Bond. James Bond. I'm thinking Daniel Craig. I'm not thinking of David. Oh, yeah.

Original Fleming James Bond? Fleming James Bond. not circumcised, so he can dock, right? Yeah. In fact, I would wager that Fleming himself is not only not circumcised, but they actually did it like an anti-circumcision, where they just added more. More foreskin, doctor.

He just says an elephant drunk down. That's just, I don't know. That's a great, that's a good answer, though, Trevelyan, right? It's John Bean. Yeah, let me think. And I think it happened while they're in the throes of passion. I don't think, I don't think he, I don't think James Bond is the most heterosexual character on the planet.

I think he's the most sexual character on the planet. I don't think he cares what's getting him off. And I think there was more of just insinuation going on with Silva and Bond in that I think they were flirting a little bit. I know Silva was, but Bond, you know, he was in his own cagey way. Played back. But also for Queen and Country, the man will do anything. You know who else is coming in my mind? Is Loak from, for your eyes only, the Warren-Zvon-looking guy?

For some reason, that guy, Oh. He feels a little like, notice too when they're having that big pool party. Yeah. He was kind of like not engaging with the women and stuff. And I'm not to say like he's interested in men. It just feels like he's more of an elite sexual club

that would kind of like appreciate bonds. I don't know. He's got to be bored at some point, right? Right. He's got to be bored with just your traditional missionary sex. Do you think he ever, what do you think James Bond's favorite sexual position is? Hanging from a cable.

Yeah, he strikes me as someone who would have a sex swing, made of the finest leather. Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Okay, I'd go with Alec Trevalian, I think. I think upon further review, I think that's the best answer. Okay. I concur, Matthew. Emily, is that good?

Yeah, I agree with that. Is it going to be for confirmation? Okay, yes, I think they had sex. You can approve. Are we right? Is there anyone I'm forgetting, though? What about, like, sexy news? Lighters, I don't think he and Felix have gotten it on.

He's too American. Yeah, and I think while they respect each other, I don't think they are docking. But what if it was Seas Linder, Felix Lighter from Goldfinger, who was just like some kind of swinger with what he and his wife were like having people over to their split-level, sunken conversation pit mid-century? Honey, you gotta meet this guy, James. It's fabulous. I actually don't.

I'm worried. Have a drink, James. Okay. Honey? Um, okay. Wait a minute. Wait, hold on. Living Daylights Felix Lider.

There's something going on there. You think so? Yeah. That guy's so just coked out of his mind. He's winning, windbreakers. Oh, living daylights, Felix. Yeah. Not licensed to kill.

No, yeah, not David Hedison. All right. The guy who played Jack's father on Lost. Right. That guy. Sure. All right. Okay.

if you could swap bond actors from two movies, who would you swap? Oh, that's a great question. And it has to go both ways. Oh, my God. Oh, God. Now, this one I want to sleep. Oh, I should credit this. Yeah.

This was from Ben Lott. A lot of people asked variances on this question, but Ben Lott was the one who asked specifically the swap both ways. Ben. And it's not, for me, it wouldn't necessarily be like who would fit best in there. It's what I'd most want to see. But the problem is the return favor. Yeah.

You know what I mean? It's like my immediate thought is, oh my God, I'd love to have seen Sean Connery in Armatry's Secret Service. But then my brain goes to like, do I really need to see George Lazyz and Goldfinger? I could see him in from Russia with Love. Lazyzby. Yeah. That's not a bad one. Sure.

But I know we like to see Daniel Craig in some classic situation. Yeah, I was just thinking that. And maybe it is Casino Royale from Russia with Love. There's one man I'd like to see more than anyone, and that's Pierce Bros. I want Here's what I want And I don't think the movies change very much at all If you flip, die another day

And view to a kill And you throw 57 year old Roger Moore And die another day Movie does not change at all And if you put Pierce Brouson In view to a kill I think the movie does not change at all I just hope that when we die

This technology exists in whatever brain in a box were in. That would be incredible to see. All right. I think I'd have to... I was going to do something fun and wacky like that, but I think I'm curious. I'd love to see Connery and Casino Royale,

like from Rushwood-Love-era Connery, and then Daniel Craig in from Russia with Love. But I think you'd even need a younger Connery. But I mean, if you have to swap movie for movie... But you're only going to get a year younger. Yeah. But I want to see Craig in from Russia with Love. Yeah.

that's too good to pass it oh that's interesting and then imagine craig fighting red grant and they look exactly alike and then they kiss there it is that's who i'm going back red grant is the one that james bond's kissing you get no backsies no it's the person in charge of the questions i'm going to allow this you're all right yeah um sustained yeah that would be super fun and i do like my idea of the roger more Pierce Brosnan flip. And I also think it would be interesting to see Sean Connery in like Beauda Kill.

Like I just... Deuter for me is the one that like... Diamonds or forever was getting pretty close, Connery. It's the point. It's like, you know how in Doctor Who there's fixed points in time? I suppose. Okay, well, I think that... Okay, how about this? You know how I'm back to the future?

November 5th, 195 is seem... to be this access point for all the space time continuum. Yes. Great. Maybe that movie is view to a kill. And there is a reality where each bond has done that movie. Yeah, it's kind of like the BC AD midpoint. Yeah.

Yeah. It's the yin and the yang. That would be great. I would love to see every bond do a view to a kill. And that would be like a, what, that would be 12 hours if you watched it in a row. You could do that in the day. I would just get my PJs. real fun day.

I buy one of those massaging lazy boys, you know, and just... I'd rent one from Rent-a-Center. And then return it after the movies were done. That's how serious we're taking this, because we're talking about what we'd really do with our seating. All right. Great question. Can I ask a follow about this scenario where all the bonds are a video kill?

Would the villains and the rest of the cast change? No. Or that would all stay completely the same? That would all stay. As far as I'm concerned, we're getting the same Mayday. It wouldn't form itself. Yeah, because you wouldn't necessarily have the analog each time. Yeah.

Yeah. Maybe it could be villain in Bond, though. Although Fomka. Fomka and May Day. Yeah, that's a good. Although, so who's the Bond girl in Diner the Day? It's Frost. Yeah.

What's her real name? Oh, my God. Rosamine Pike? Thank you. Oh, she's great. Should be great. Oh, boy. Okay.

All right. Okay. Okay. Next question. Here we go. Um, feeling good. Which James Bond actor do you think would have made the best villain? Oh, it's another excellent question.

And this one's from Aaron Whitlow. Well, I think I've got this for me. For serious villain, like with Gravitus one that we accept, Dalton. And current day Dalton, where he's a little, he's a little batty. Well, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

And then fun Roger Moore era villain, Roger Moore. He would be great. Um. Now, are we being asked to choose the movie in which they are the villain or just sort of which one would make a good villain? Oh, like pick which villain they are? They'd play. Holy Christ. Sweet.

I will accept either. I will allow you to interpret that one, as you will. Dalton, which villain would Dalton be? Because I got to tell you right now, it's going to probably blow your mind and be an unpopular opinion. I'm ready for it. I'd like to see Daniel Craig play Oric Goldfinger. Oh, I love that idea. I mean...

I love it. I love it. Okay. Dalton, I would like to see Blowfeld from Honor Majesty's Secret Service, I think. Oh. Taking it away from Tally Savalas? Look, I got no problem with Tilly. I mean, I just feel like you're doing the man a problem.

We're being given a gift here, and I'd like to see it both ways. I'd do a chemistry read. I understand. Okay. But yeah, I think Dale Craig is Goldfinger. great and I think Timothy Dalton Blofeld is a no-brainer. That'd be fun.

I accept both of our answers, Emily. It's good. I do too. I think those are great choices. And wait, for Roger Moore, I'd like him to say, play Kamal Khan and Octopusy. How great, though.

But I also want Roger Moore to play James Bond. How great, though, would Roger Moore be as, I'm going to say, Skarmucci against Skarmanga? Yeah. I feel like if he yelled,

Nickknack tobacco. I'm already buying it. What if they switched roles for that? That'd be something. Tobasco. I said tobacco. You've done that before. My brain is not working. Oh, it's all right. We're relaxing. You know, when I get a week into a week of work and podcasts, you get me at my worst. My brain isn't working. I'm supposed to close these curtains for better sound quality, and I didn't. So if there's a little reverb in here, that's a gift. I apologize for the unprofessional manner in which this

podcast is conducted, Emily. Thank you. It's all right. okay um this is a bit of an odd one um this is for matt goarly specifically uh but i included it because it's something i've seen a lot in the emails even before we put out the call um so in this specific in this specific instance of the question which i've just lost on my phone i apologize i found it again this is from dana jones and they want to know um matt have you had a chance to enjoy your play suit uh whilst a pool while you're at a pool and everyone can see how awesome you are the the reason why i put this one on the list is because there's a lot of people who seem to just kind of want to an update on the whole Terrycloth play suit situation. People just want to check in. Yes. Now, thank you, Dana, by the way. I had every intention to bring that play suit with me on my honeymoon and also to another wedding and to wear it on the day that we recorded the Goldfinger episode. But since I've last worn the play suit, we've moved, and it's in a box with the other things that I might wear on special occasions, say, for instance, later

Rosen. Some Jodd purse. Sure. And so it is, it's very well packed away. Like, I cherish that thing. And I'll have to break it out. Maybe if we do a live, James Bonding, what am I saying? I'm not going to do that.

I have a suggestion. Yes. And we could plan this out. Yeah. I think it'd be kind of fun if we at a live show. You wore Terry Blue, Terry Cloth, Powder Blue suit. and I had someone make me the gold one that gold finger wears. Okay, I will do that.

I will do that. And we just do it at a tiny table. All right, Dana, are you listening? That's your update. Oh, man, we're getting into trouble. Phil Nobil has a play suit as well. I know. So, yeah.

If we do one in New York, we should definitely have Phil also on in a play suit. Maybe we just wear that every live episode. Or we get people to continue to make James Bond costume. for us and then we just amassed this collection. I mean, I did like, and I don't think we ever even mentioned it on the lie. How did this get made, Vutoa Kiel, James Bonding crossover? You and I both wore tuxedoes.

We did. I think they mentioned it on it, but yeah. But we could do that again. It was fun. Yeah. We like a dress-up. Also, I'll never get use of my wedding tuxedo probably ever again, so that would be, I could write it off. This is great.

This is great. All right. Okay. Good questions. Hey Super Ego fans, there's a new bonus episode for you on Stitcher Premium. Hey, wait, I'm not a super ego fan. I'm the president.

It sounds like sometimes Moneypenny has to get on the phone with this, because when Bond is out there on missions with his universal exports, sharper image credit card, I feel like he's ringing up these bills that are just so crazy that even the British Secret Service is like, we're drowning in debt and we cannot pay it off.

Mad and James Bondi podcast Okay This one's from Paul Amel Paul asks Who is the best dressed Bond villain I'm going to amend this question

And say who is the second best After Mayday Because the first is obviously Mayday I wouldn't argue that Oh that's interesting I put Mayday in the henchman category That's true I think Bond villain

Because Mayday as a henchman She's a poor henchman Because she eventually helps Bond Yeah She's not very loyal Let's answer villain And henchmen Great

the best-dressed Bond villain Hmm Now I mean the most iconic is Donald Pleasance right Yeah because it gets into that question of like best or what your tastes are for best That's As interpreter I'm going to say your taste for best All right Well if that's the case

It's hard it's hard to really say because like you got you have the wax out there sort of attire of of a of a blowfeld you know yeah and you also have like the

very nice suits of a of a of a graves from diner of the day no right you know I'm going through the movies in my head right now I've got it tied for two so far two people

but I'm continuing Sorry if this is... That was me. No, I think I'm going to have to say Jonathan Price and tomorrow never dies. What? That Steve Jobs look?

That Steve Jobs. You're just doing that to bait me. Yeah, I sure am. No way. You know how he's like in China and all of a sudden none of his coats have collars? Oh, God. Oh, man.

The collar list, I have to like, I would like to see a list made of all of the villains of James Bond and see how many of them don't have collars. Because it's an extraordinarily high number. That's definitely true. And I don't mean like completely no collar. It could be the flat collar, you know, that goes

up around the neck. And I'll count that. But I feel like it's about 70% of Bond villains. Yeah. So they're all dressing very similar from the get-go. I'm sort of just like by taste eliminating any non-collar dressers here. Okay.

And I think I got to go with either Emilio Largo from Thunderball. Yeah. Or Cananga from Live and Let Die, who's got like Valour at times, you know. Cananga does look the most comfortable. That's a tough one, though. Canangas great. That's a good answer.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Hinch person. Davies. I thought about that. Like, because he's got like, his, he's got like, his, he's got, like, this collar is like, open.

He also has a no, like, no collar tucks, doesn't he? Yes. Yeah. Disqualified. Look, there's a dress code here. Even think about Skyfall. Yeah, Silva. Does Silva have a collarless jacket at some point?

He has like a real party shirt on. What's his tan? What's that tan look he's got in the server? And he's got a real busy shirt, but it's got a collar. Okay. Yeah. And then hench, Hinchman, I might go Mada as well. Oh, for best.

dressed henchman. I mean, are we counting the guy with the sawblade that yo-yo? He's barely dressed. He's barely dressed henchmen. It's, most dressed henchmen would be like an odd job. A job is by far, I think, the most presentable. I actually like Jaws' suits. He kind of has like a 30s cut to his suits because they're very baggy and interesting. But I'll go May Day too because especially that thing she's wearing at the end when she goes. Yeah. I like her unnecessary veil during the butterfly situation. There was no such thing as an unnecessary veil, first of all. All right.

Next question S. Okay. This one is from Mitchell B. What is the most British moment in the history of Bond? So in season one, you did kind of film by film British House. Yeah, who was the most British person was in the movies. I got it for me. Go.

It's, what's the actor's name? someone gray, right, who plays Blofeld in Diamonds or Forever, but it's when he's playing that his contact in Japan in You Only Live Twice And he just has that sort of thing gang You know, I don't know what it is

Yeah, he's uh In fact, he's probably more my inspiration For Ian Fleming than Ian Fleming Not that I do that impression Boy, that is so weird That they would use him so quickly I know It's so fucking weird

I guess it's not The same things with like Joe Don Baker Yeah I guess that's like, funny there was precedent yeah and Shane Rimmer is in the background in like four of these movies or something uh most British moment that's a tough one because there's so much my guy even gets dies in a British way where he gets stabbed in he just freezes and doesn't make a fuss and then just goes down oh he does indeed yeah Charles Gray yeah that's his name

yeah but it happens in Japan so I'm already eliminating it wow how can be the most British thing and if it happens off the motherland. The essence of Britannia is colonizing the world. Yes, but never Japan. I know, but I mean, come on. One of the few places. I would argue that

his Britishness is exemplified by sheer nature of the contrast. Being English and non-British places is very British, I would say. Yes. Fair. It's very fair.

But, I mean, it has For me, it has to be the sit-down dinner at... The Goldfinger one? In Goldfinger. Yeah, that's pretty good. Non-canonically, M, played by Edward Fox in Never Say Never. Yes.

It's so British, it makes me tingle. He... He... You have a long bond. Like, he has that. I love Edward Fox so much. I got to go watch Force 10 from Navarone. Click, edit.

Okay, we're back. I just watched a two-hour movie. while these two sat in here. But we got to know each other. Thank you for that. It was nice. We weren't allowed to watch, but so we were able to sort of bond. Okay.

Well, I'm answered. I'll be in my chamber. What are you doing watching Force 10 from Navarren? Oh, that's fair. I'll just hang out here. Yeah, I mean, my answer is that dinner. Okay. It's that dinner.

Goldfinger. This is another one that we had a lot. This is from Philip Varney. What's the best way to introduce Bond to your kids? And neither of you have children at the moment, to my knowledge. This is true. This is accurate. Well, I technically have two embryos on ice and Brentwood.

Oh. All right. Let's say you're pulling them out. Hey, little buddy. I'm like thawing out my embryos. You're putting them in a like a dump erroneon champagne bucket. Sure. You guys.

Proping them up. Stay on ice. Yeah, just on a little ice flow. That's a good question. You got to go more, or dare say, Rosnan. A lot of specific examples came out. They were all on the 8 to 12 range, I would say. Okay.

Okay. That's about when I was introduced. I was going to start at six, which might be too young. But I saw Terminator 2 in the theater when I was seven years old. I saw Halloween when I was four. So I think, look how messed up. Still can't sleep. It's got to be Roger Moore for me because that's, they're tame.

I mean, I might just go view to a kill so that the child sees how happy I am. And it's just a positive moment. what are you getting the I got a transmission it's a Dick Tracy until that thing spits out some of that like rubber tape or whatever like in which which more movie was it

that he does that oh it's a spy who love me yeah prints out something remember those old things you have to punch and you turn the wheel yeah yeah you can't see how we're doing our hands but if you did we're also making sound effects yeah so I think that helps the listener yeah I'm sorry what was the question

view to a kill for me. What's the best way to introduce bond to your kids? That's what it was. I mean, I would probably do the right thing and show them tomorrow never dies. Are you kidding? Do you want to raise a murderer? I should find out.

I'm a 90s kid. My, the president was my first bond. I understand. That wasn't my first one, but it was definitely that era for me. Look, I understand. Like, I understand people not. the Roger Moore era kind of go like, what are you thinking?

So I would never begrudged a Brosnan fan in their movies. I'm just saying for me... I think it'd be good, though, to show them a movie from the 60s that sort of gets that pace into the child. Doctor knows a pretty harmless movie

in terms of adult content. Yes. Yeah. But I would... I don't know if you can keep them entertained through that. That's true. I think you could keep them entertained

through Goldfinger. Maybe you're right, yeah. Because there's so much car fun. Or maybe Little Nelly. Car fun. Yeah, but that's a long-ass movie. It feels like it anyway. Diamonds are forever, maybe?

That's goofy. Then you have to explain Plenty O'Toole. If you do golfing, you have to explain Pussy Galore, though. Her first name's posseer last name, galore. She runs a flying air circus. What is the problem? But then the kid later is going to have backwards questions. Like, wait, what is that?

When someone tells it the slang meaning, they're going to go what and it'll all like come slamming down in them you want your kid to be cool is what you're saying and understand the slang I do okay yeah I gotta go Vuto Kill

Vuto Kill Doctor No I'm just gonna start him at the beginning okay why not Yeah I think that's I want the kid not to I don't want a child who has no patience So I think showing them I slowly

So you're gonna throw into the deep end Yeah look Both Vito Kill and Dr. No have like The death of a beloved Sidekick with Tibbet and Quibit and Quarrel. Yeah. That's going to be tough for the kid.

Well, I'll be like, hang on, buddy. We're going to meet Quarrel's son. That's true. Yeah. Hang on another seven movies. Okay, next question. This one's from Evan Krieger. After Daniel Craig's time is over,

do you want Ray Fines, Ben Wishaw, and Naomi Harris to continue as MQ and MoneyPenny? Yes. Yeah? Yeah, I guess I got no. All three? I like all three of them a lot. Yeah. I just like the

I like a continuity When you're changing an actor I don't like there to be such a startling Change in the lineup Yeah Which is sort of I think Was a little bit of a problem with Brosnan I think he had the whole

Thing was Yeah Recast around him Dalton too No M was the same No M was the same But do you want it to continue As if it's the exact same character

Or reboot it again like they did With Daniel Craig even though Judy Dentures still am. I don't need it. Okay. I don't need a reboot. Yeah, I'm with you. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah, asked and answered. All right. That was the most concise we'd been so far. Most agreement we've had. Let me see. Okay. So they have suggested two films in particular.

You can go off book and choose others if you want. But Drew from Missouri, didn't have a last name, but he's from Missouri, is the fill of detail. Yeah. If you could reshoot Thunderball and Moon Raker to replace their respective bad endings, what would you replace the underwater fight and the moon, the space battle? Well, first of all, Drew from Missouri, I wouldn't replace anything in Moonraker. Okay?

It's a perfect ending. If anything, I'd get to it a little sooner. Yeah, I, the Moonraker ending in Laser Battle, it's part of what makes Moonwraker, Moonraker. Maybe I'd just switch those endings. I don't think you even need to switch the ending. They're the same. They're moving exactly the same. Yeah, that's true.

I'll never understand the slow movement in space. There's no resistance. You should be moving much quicker in space. It's because people are used to seeing it on the moon where there's slow gravity. Yeah. Yeah, but you can still slow gravity. Slow gravity. It says one-sixth, the Earth's gravity.

I just don't understand these slow moving. Neil de Grass-Tysse. Like you see, but like you see when you watch astronauts in the International Space Station, like when they're pulling themselves. through the space station. They can go as fast as they fucking want. Part of it is... And they can do little twirls.

It's a film technique to make their hair kind of bounce to look like it's zero gravity. I think. Well, I have a problem. How would I replace the Thunderball ending? Thunderball ending I would probably replace with just black and maybe a title card that tells me what happened.

I've somehow tried to get some quicksand in there. There's never been any quicksand in a bond? No. Not some of memory either. Get on it. First of all, it's time to bring that back as a trope. Second of all... Why was there so much quicksand in the 30s and 40s?

Not just that, but the 80s were big on quicksand. There's like Renaissance eras for quicksand, and it's due. It's due. Crawl. The end of... The end of Thunderball is so dull. I can't even... You can't, like, it pains you to think about it.

I can't even like... I can't... I would not be surprised that that's the last. last movie we're watching this. I don't know. I may pull it up because A, we've now talked about it being so bad that it can't possibly be as bad as we're thinking. And we can't keep front-loading the good films because this is going to be a tough year. Well, we're not front-loading the good film. I got golden on out of the way for you. But that's not a bad film. You don't like it. Just because Pierce Bros.in's in it. We don't know how you feel. No, I don't dislike that thing. And it's going to be

weird when he eventually agrees to be on the podcast. And I have to explain to him what's going on. here. I can't take that emotionally. That would be difficult. Because I would feel bad. I would actually... We can't. We can't have... I would actually have someone cut together all of your Pierce Brosnan the way you feel about him versus the way I feel about him. And just, I would send him two one-minute clips. Let me ask you this. Why would you do that?

It would be really funny to me. Then I won't show up that day. But again, the Thunderball, I think the best way to end it is like a silent movie where you put up a title card that says what happens. I think I'd just... keep it as it is, but cut out about 40 to 50% of just I'd like the stream of the streamlined edit. Yeah, someone will edit that.

That's got to be out there. All right, yeah. Somewhere with all the Star Wars edit. Yeah. If Tofer Grace is out there cutting together the prequels to make one movie, then someone's got to cut Thunderball to make it watchable, right? That's right. All right.

Tofer, what are you up to? Not a lot right now. So get on it. I saw him at a restaurant the other night. How's he doing? Does he look well? It's Italian food rest. We got the check.

I don't know. I wasn't at his party. I just saw him come in and eat with another couple. He and his wife, I presume. Was Fogler there? Who? Dan Fogler? I don't think so. I feel like they're thickest thieves, those two. Yeah, maybe.

I know he's coming into town because he's got a couple episodes of the Goldbergs to film next week. Oh, okay. All right, yeah. Dan Fogelberg, huh? Fantastic beasts. Oh, well, now you lost me. All right. This is a kind of simple one. Allison still wants to know

she likes hearing your thoughts on the Omega or Omega, depending on where you're from Bond watches, but she wants to know if either of you had any thoughts on the Swatch Collections that they released. Wait, I know all about the Swatch. Is this a new collection? No. Oh, the original one.

During the 20... Yeah, okay, yeah. What was it? What was the anniversary they had done? Was it after the 20th movie or something? That sounds right to me? Yeah. So what would that be?

They released Swatches for each movie. So there was like a Moomraker. A spy who love me. And they're all like aesthetically, they were reminiscent of things. I don't have to go revisit. I'm going to bring those up. Yeah, go ahead. I, you know, I thought it was interesting because Swatch Group owns Omega anyway.

So the license was easy for them to secure it for Swatch. But I'm not a big wearer of swatches. I don't think anyone is anymore except for retro knots. Do you know how annoyed I am that I am wearing this Apple Watch constantly? because I want to see how many steps I take and what my calorie count is throughout the day. Yeah. I have little to no patience. Right.

I can tell you right off the bat. The first one I'm getting is the Dominic Green from Quant of Solis because that's just the most, that has to be the most obscure watch ever made. A watch made after the villain from Quantum of Salas. Who do you think of the Le Schiff Spade? I don't love it. It's a little, I don't know. Also, look at the Omega Cup.

Amanda Walsh. That's nice. Weren't you making fun of this recently? I don't like it. I like it. It's too much like a Rolex Submariner. It's too much like a Submariner, especially the GMT Submariner, which has the multicolor bezel also. And I'd rather just have a...

You guys got to get online and check these out. I'm sure you've all seen them, but it's time to revisit. Hey, you want the Zinia on a top watch? Oh, you know what? Just sign me up for the Elliott Carver. Zenia's watch is awesome. Look at the Elliot Carver. The Lick Carver's newspaper headlines.

That watch is right in league with that film. Could you go on eBay right now and see how much this set costs? I will. No, no. Yeah, okay. You mean right now. I literally mean right now. I know you said it, but I...

Because if it's, I got to tell you right now, if it's $500 or less, I will buy it right now. Oh, my God. This is exciting. It will force us all to wear them. Watch. eBay. Okay, okay, here we go. Mike Rale is clicking on the link.

This is just... It's the golden I won for $15. That's horrible. What's about the set? 2007 swatch set I don't know if you can find it Oh, doctor $4,000

Or best offer That's the cheapest though There's some like 7,000, 6,000 Oh my God Okay, type in what's the obscure one we saw Dominic Green Type in the Dominic Green or the Elliott Carver Is it with a cue?

150 bucks it's so obscure I might buy it What is Like What is that for? I think the best Like connection I can make Is there a smart table graphic?

Can you show me the side of the watch? That's such a The band is weird The band is very weird It's very strange Cheap as hell Could you now punch in the Carver watch please

I'd like to see the Elliot Carver $165 It says top secret across it. What a dumb thing. That looks as cheap as the movie. Oh, my God, Elliot Carver and the Carver Media Group Network. This is amazing. It does sort of look like a, like a souvenir watch. That's what all swatches look like to me. Oh, General Koskavs.

Oh, shit. The Fon Sanchez Band is iguana. Oh, that's beautiful. Zorin's is pretty cool. Beautifully stupid. Wait, look at Electra's, though. That is some fancy shit. So, did they just do a villains run? Recently?

I think that's all they did. Well, it must have been right after quantum or with quantum. Yeah, it looks like it. Yeah, I believe that I'm looking at it. I believe this was the set out. Allison was asking about the villains. This is ridiculous. This Jasmund doesn't even look like a swatch.

Scaramonga is good. Oh, boy, Christatus is as boring as his character. This is amazing. I cannot believe. Oh, wow. Oh, Drax is cool. This is ridiculous. The villain collection.

There was another collection besides the villain collection, though, wasn't there? Look at Mr. Winton, Mr. Kid. It's a lady watch. Oh, man. All right. Largo's cool. Largo's a lot like Drax, but it looks good. A little fellow.

Oh. Ooh, I like the Dr. No one. It's got like the radiation. What do you call those? Oh, the Geiger County? Yeah. But look, that little design is like his collar. Oh, my God.

So what was the question? You're answering it. Allison just wanted to know your thoughts and reactions. She said your reactions to the swatch collection, which I think is exactly what she got. You just got our live reactions to the swatch collection. I think I'm picking. It is weird to me, Matt, that you're not a watchman.

Like, I never see you with a watch. I used to wear one without fail. I felt naked without it. And then I think once smartphones came along, one day I forgot it and I never looked back. I think I got to go with either the Largo because it looks like a normal watch or just the Dominic Green

because that's the stupidest shit I've ever seen. The Largo. Look, there's a cat in the case. I can't tell you how excited I am to buy one of these for you, to have for you next week. Oh, man.

That was a great question, Emily. That was probably my favorite question with God's something like. I just saw some weird bullshit. Okay, so just three more questions. Questions? Beautiful. If you could cast yourself in a role in a Bond movie, what would it be?

So you can take an existing role, you can create a new role for yourself. It can be a cameo. You can be the main player, anything you want. And this is from Christian Snyder. But you can't not show up. You have to see yourself on screen in a Bond movie. Oh. This is not even a question for me.

What? It'd be Tanner. Oh, yeah, that's good. It's a good choice. I mean, you know, I'm not obtrus. Which, like every movie Tanner's in, or a specific... I'd take his life. I don't think you want Tanner's life.

Golden I, Tanner's life? I've only got cat food. I don't want to run out. I've got nothing to live for. Let's just sue it. This is tough. I think I would... I don't think I could do it better than the actor by any means,

But I think I would like to try. It would be fun to do to play Zoran. Yeah? There's no way I could top Christopher Walken, but it just seems fun. I think you're being full of yourself right now. Why? Throwing yourself into such a big role. I'm not saying I could do it better.

Taking Christopher Walken's gig. I just want to have a good time. He's got work. You know, you're going to distract me when I'm watching the film, whereas if you played a Tanner, I could still enjoy the movie. You're the one putting... Now you're taking me out of it. Who are you putting in there, Connery?

in view to a kill? I'm putting Pierce Brosson from dying at the day. The movie's already ruined. Oh, wait, I didn't realize this was in our recast version of it. I'm just saying. If it is, then, by all means, man. I would love you to play, actually, two roles. Two?

I would like you to play May Day and Zorn. Just do it. I don't feel comfortable. Okay. All right. Have you talked, I can't remember. Have you talked in the podcast before about who they wanted to cast for Zorn instead of Christopher Walkin?

David Bowie? Yeah. Yes. Just because that's my personal favorite. It would be incredible. I know. He would have been great. Yeah.

It would have been fabulous. But I wonder if it in the end would have been better. It would have been amazing to see. But I wonder if he would have played it pretty straight. Yeah. Curious to see how he would have played that. God. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. I love his quote for why he turned it down to. What was it? He didn't want to watch a stuntman fall down for seven months. I feel like he turned it down just because he thought of that quote and went that. That's too good to not say. I know what I'll say.

I didn't want to watch us. That man fall down. All right. Penultimate question. What do you think about that, Amar? What if I say, what if I say, right? Can I play May Day? No.

Then don't do it. All right. Okay. This is a question for Matt. Matt, what do you think is Matt's most bond-like feature? And that's from Mark Williams. It's a question for each man. Yeah.

Great. Most bond-like feature. Well, for you, it's your taste. Like, you have taste in all products bond. Like, you buy as Bond buys. Yeah. Well, I find that he takes the thinking out of it, you know? Yeah.

When you're like, man, what's a really good pair of shoes? Yeah. Let me find out what the most stylish man in the world is wearing. Takes all the thinking out of it. For you, I've got to say, it's your jawline. My jaw line. God damn, your jaw line is just, it's like, Oh, you just see when I was 20, now it's just a saddlebag.

Oh, my God. Well, Matt, come on. I think you're just fresh. So handsome. All right. All right. I'll take it. I mean, you should have seen him at the wedding.

He looked like a, like a billion bucks. This guy just rolling around. I was like, man, Amanda's going to get to dock with him tonight. Okay, last question. Reentry. This is from Tony Shannon. Uh, really was hoping Tony Shalub had run. Hey, Matt, I'm a big fan.

For some reason, I'm doing his Galaxy Quest character. That's totally funny. Okay. Um, this is from Tony Shalub under the alias of Tony Shannon. Uh, if the, in an alternate world where the James Bond series did not exist. Oh, I don't want to live. I answered. Okay, we have Matt Garley's answer.

Um, what would you two have bonded? it over if you had met at a party what would in that alternate universe what would this podcast be about it would be about indiana yeah i agree yeah and i still think we you know we could even take some of these in between episodes and do a mini run of indiana jonesing because there's only four movies that's true and it's very bomb we could at least do we could at least do raiders or temple of june temple of doom probably the most bondian sure yeah but here's the unpopular matt myr's stance on indiana jones films which i love i love them all except Crystal Skull

The one I've seen the least I've probably only seen Temple of Doom five times And you've seen Crystal Skull more? No I don't count Crystal Skull as really existing in my mind I've seen that movie one time in the theater I own it just because it came with the other three I'm sad to admit I've probably seen it

20 times Because it's the same thing with the prequels I understand I watch it like I'm like, I've got to figure this out. How did this happen? Yeah. Yeah. But my favorite and most rewatchable for me is Last Crusade.

I know. I know. It's not a popular opinion. No, I think it is popular. There's a lot in there that I really enjoy. The generation that you belong to you. Yeah. Well, also, I think it's really like Nazis are in vogue again.

Whatever do you mean. And there's so many Nazis in Raiders and Last Crusade. But I really feel like you're. Really, you're really having a, it's a Hitler's in The Last Crusade. Yeah, he sure is. Look, I like it too. Don't get me wrong. Yes, but I think the answer is Indiana Jones.

Yeah, definitely. This podcast would be Indiana Jones thing. Yeah. Emily, why don't you plug your podcast? I would love to. Thank you. So I do a podcast called the Super Mario Bros. Minute.

If you know the Star Wars Minute. I laugh every time I hear it. If you know the Star Wars Minute, which I know, MacGroly has been on. I don't know a bunch. Love those guys. Check them out. So it's a podcast where we watch the movie minute by minute.

Each episode is about one minute of the film. We're doing it for the live action Super Mario Brothers film from 1993. And our twist on it, our little tweak, is that we watch each minute the number of times that it is. So like we just released minute 29 or we just record a minute 29, which means we watch it minute that 29 times. You know, by the time we get to minute 100, we will watch it 100 times. That's going to be our... How are you divvying this up, for instance? instance, how are you watching minute 29, 29 times? Are you just sitting there with a timeline bar

on your device and you, the minute is over, and then you pause and then go back to the beginning of that minute? Is that how you're doing it? Yeah, we watch it on my computer. So there's manual labor and involved in this as well? I mean, we hit space bar to restart the minute. That's still. Yeah. That's really going above and beyond. We're probably going to, we're probably going to switch to watching it on my PlayStation 4 because you can loop on a PS4. So once we get to the space bar to that, that's a one. It's a the higher units we're going to switch to that system. But for right now, it's nice to have that like half a second buffer that it takes you to hit the space bar. It's just a nice

little cool down period. Were any of these ever recorded in my back cooler podcast studio? No, the idea for this podcast was conceived in the back cooler, in your garage at your old house. But okay. But no episodes were recorded there, unfortunately. Okay, because Emily used to rent a room there. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So I just want to think that that's maybe where the magic happens. It was. And I've told you in person the story of how this podcast started, which is we were recording our other podcast that we don't do anymore. And we said, what's the one movie you would do a minute-by-minute podcast about? And we're going to count down from three. And if we say the same

movie, we'll do it. And we both said Super Mario Brothers. That's insane that two people said that movie. Not even John Leguizama would say that movie. It's so good. I really just want to get though, even if you're not going to listen to my podcast, just watch the movie again. It's very good. And I've never seen it. So I should check it out at some point. You should. Yeah. You should have that in your brain. Yeah. You need to have it. I suppose that's true.

Well, Es, I think you've done an admirable job. Thank you. You've been a great head of the department, and we're going to keep you on board. Thank you. I don't know if you know this, but we were going to fire you. And then we were like, well, how's she going to do on this episode? I was like, well, let's give her at least that episode, Matt, before we do anything crazy. And I don't want to speak out of school, but we are going to keep you.

Matt's not getting his way. I'm very happy about that. No, we thank you incredibly because I saw how many emails came in on this, and we're sorry if your question didn't get answered. You know, blame S. But I thought those were fantastic questions. They were great. And I hope you guys liked this, because if you did like it, well, we can do many more of these.

Or some more. We wouldn't short change. By many, I mean like five. Oh, okay. Or maybe we could do a quarterly. Yeah, maybe. That's four. We'll see.

You know what? Put it in an email. Let's also say happy birthday to Phil Nobiel. Oh, Phil. Will we have missed his birthday? No, I think it's actually, if I'm correct, the day after this. Oh, great. Yeah.

Phil. I doubt you've listened all the way through. But congratulations on being born and having lived this long and not having died in the cold. Our man in the east. Anything else we need to cover? We don't know what the next movie is yet. No, we always decide that you'll know before we do. That's right.

Oh, will they? No, they won't. We'll talk about that when we do Vito A Kill. They've already heard Vue to a Kill by this point. Oh, yeah. We're one week ahead, yet our brains cannot process it. It will be my choice. So technically, I could know right now.

You could know right. And I'm just not saying it. Yeah. You're welcome to choose now. No, I'll save it. Okay. I got to let it happen in the moment. I'm going to do it like I order food at a restaurant.

I pick two or three things and then when a waiter asks me, I panic. Whatever my gut goes with, that's what it'll be. So I'll probably, I'll line two up and then when you ask me, I'll let it fly. Great plan. All right. Well, this has been another episode of James Bonding. Emma, head of Section S. Thank you very much.

Thank you for having me. And James Bonding will return. Hey, this is Arnie Neckamp from the Improft Fantasy Podcast. Hello from the Magic Tavern. I fell through a dimensional portal behind a Burger King in Chicago into the magical land of food and I started a podcast.

Season three has just begun with a brand new adventure to defeat the Dark Lord. If you're a new listener or you've fallen behind season three is a great jumping on point and we've got great guests like Justin McElroy.

I sat like a fancy college professor. Fake nuts. Rachel Bloom. You all see my collection of men, corpses, and one woman. Felicia Day and Colton done. You've seen me have intercourse with a variety of species. It's a bummer. Andy Daly.

You have the members of Genesis listed, but Phil Collins has crossed out and then circle did he cross out again. Yes, I have killed Phil Collins twice. Thomas Middletich. Jesus, I mean, Jazzos, ruler of the eighth circle. And that's just the beginning. Season three, a fellow from the Magic Tavern is out now. Listen in Stitcher, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.
