That's Podswag.com slash bond. Matt and, Matt and, James Bonding podcast. Hey, everybody, welcome to James Bonding. I'm Matt. I'm also Matt.
Starting point is 00:01:01 I'm Matt Goreley. Oh, yeah. I'm Matt Myra. Just so you know our voices. Well, of course they know our voices. They've been listening to us on podcasts for dozens of years. This may be the first time someone's listened in a way. I'm going to pay for a paywall episode.
Starting point is 00:01:14 This is a free one. This is a free one. Yeah. You started Super Ego in 2005? 2006. Well, we started recording in 2005. Okay, so 2006, the podcast came out, right? I started on comedy and everything else in 2008, which means that on this very podcast, we have a
Starting point is 00:01:31 combined, 22 years of podcast experience. And that's not just like we were doing one podcast the whole time. If you fold it all into each other, we've had 6,000 years of podcasting experience. It really is. We should be better. So that means, yeah, you've both come to the right place and the wrong place.
Starting point is 00:01:51 That's really. But that's neither here nor that. What you've come for today. Oh, is all your James Bond talk and mostly the entry into the franchise by Mr. Timothy dollpower. That's right. The Living Daylights from 1987. We're going to talk for just a little bit before we get into the commentary for two reasons. To catch up, to see how we're all doing. Talk a little bond news, a little bond gambling. And also so that the mid-roll ads that have to go in here, that's podcasting terminology for the ads that show up in the middle of the show. They roll on in.
Starting point is 00:02:21 That's right. So we can get those done first. That way the commentary... Can play seamlessly uninterrupted. Into your ears. Let me first of all apologize to anyone who downloaded the line. last two episodes and had tactical difficulties. I stupidly dropped the, what commentary? Live and let die. No, it was on her majesty's Secret Service. That was my, that was my fault when I accidentally left the audio up for the movie the whole time. Oh, that's right. Because I dropped it into a existing garage band project that was for a Star Trek episode. Yeah, that's right. It really felt terrible about that. But you got it. We fixed it. If you haven't,
Starting point is 00:03:01 re-downloaded it, please go ahead and do that now. And then live and let die, it was a problem on the other, it was on the server end. That's right. So if that won't cut off at 66 minutes, go re-download that and you've got another hour. And you've got another hour to go. Yeah. Guys, we're going to get this right. Again, combined 22 years of podcast.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Mess up. Yes. Listen, we tend to stock these episodes up, so this is our first batch back for a while and it's very exciting. Yeah. There's been a little bit of Bond news in the interim. I know. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Bond 25 guys is rolling. That's right. It's still rumored and not confirm that Rami Malik may be playing the villain. Great. No. I mean, the way he stole that Oscar, he's a villain to everyone. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
Starting point is 00:03:52 I just was looking for a current thing to say about him. Could be interesting. Now, a little bit of leaked footage came out from the shooting of Bond 25. If you don't want to hear about this, I understand. Spoiler. It's a vague spoiler. But we'll come back to the, you can skip ahead like, what, five minutes, four minutes? Just go ahead and skip ahead, let's say, yeah, four minutes total.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Okay. I'm looking at a clock, so I know. There's a man in full, like, winter paramilitary gear with an assault rifle, limping on the ice with a phantom of the opera mask chasing a little girl. Yeah. What could that mean? She's also got Rainbow Parca on, which seems very maniac, which is what Carrie Fuganaga directed. It had kind of like a rainbow color scheme to it.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Or she's really into Rainbow Bright. Yeah. And he's into The Phantom of the Opera. Yeah. And he's actually just trying to get her to sit and watch the musical with him. They're both huge 80s franchise property fans. I need, I'm running to go watch Rainbow Bright. And he's like, no, no, come watch the Phantom.
Starting point is 00:04:59 he's chasing after her with a gun. I took a close look. It doesn't look like Rami Malik, though it could be a stunt double because most of his face is obscured, but it looks like the mask has actually been shattered. But the fact that they would shatter it in an exact pattern of the Phantom of the Opera makes me think, are they actually referencing the Phantom of the Opera? Also, like, was it shattered by a hand? Shatter hand, hand, hand, hand, and, oh, well, there's your Bond 25.
Starting point is 00:05:28 That was it, huh? Guys, if you came back four minutes later, go back three minutes. Now, Matt, you did a little gambling. Is that right? Yeah, it's true. So I went to Las Vegas right after the Goldbergs wrapped up and all the writers went. And I sat down at some James Bonnet themed slot machines. There's now a bunch. I played Golden I. I'm sorry, no, no. Let me correct myself. I played Goldfinger. Diamonds are forever, Thunderball, and Casino Royale. Wait, they have that many?
Starting point is 00:06:02 Yes. Do they have all the films? No. Those are the four that they had that I saw. No, the world is not enough, huh? Well, I think there's a golden eye one out there. I haven't seen it. Yeah, but no world is not enough.
Starting point is 00:06:12 No world is not enough. It seems weird. I think you're actually trying to insult Tomorrow Never Dies, incorrect. That's right. I get those two mixed up. Here, do you want to put a drink down? What's that? What?
Starting point is 00:06:22 Oh, my God. You have Tomorrow Never Dies. They were sent to us by a fan, and obviously, to me, this is my favorite just put a drink down on his face uh what about this bros what about this jonathan price i mean i was what i'm showing you is just why why you would need one of him is crazy to me ricky jay with next to a mortar that's white right how many white are there in here look at this look at this you get uh you get uh michel yo and uh bond on a on a on a on a on a on a on a on a motorcycle and then this is my favorite because it looks like these were
Starting point is 00:06:58 photoshopped in all the Heineken cakes They had to be, right? They had to be. Well, it was sponsored by Heineken. Same thing when they're driving down a staircase of Heineken boxes. Look, I was watching, we're re-watching Game of Thrones
Starting point is 00:07:13 getting ready for the final season and Jonathan Price is in a two-season arc. And the whole time I just like was taken out of it kind of going like, I think I would really like this actor if it weren't for the world to never dies. the world never dies but that movie is fantastic so this is the man I just wanted to show you the this a little bit of
Starting point is 00:07:35 you know people videotape these casino wins here and there and I just wanted to show you so one of the my favorite bonus on the casino reall machine is the chip respin so if you get six poker chips
Starting point is 00:07:51 you get to re-spin for extra poker chips and then each one is assigned a value and a bonus So I'm going to show you, Matt, what technology is like now. $27 spins? This guy's crazy. Wait, you're paying $27 for one spin? Yeah, well, I go with penny. Because you can go penny, $5, $0.5, $10, all the way up to like maybe a dollar.
Starting point is 00:08:15 And when I'm betting a penny, it's $5.20 a spin because it's $5.20. Why slot machines are not for me. It tells you you want or lost before you've figured out whether you want or lost. And that to me. I can read it much faster than a of the machine. Look at this. So these white chips. The white chips are the least value.
Starting point is 00:08:37 The red or second most value. Actually, it goes red than black. So if he gets a black one, that's good. He didn't get a black one. This is all visuals. Great potpasting. No, I'm just 22 years. Look, that one upgraded to a black.
Starting point is 00:08:51 So what I'm saying, guys, if you're out there, $75, $150, $75. $600. This is a 10-minute video. This is, well, it's not going to, well, unless he gets the casino bonus, which is just bananas. It's $150. When you get a gold one on the Thunderball machine, Matt, you get a gold chip on a thunderball machine? I'll just turn that down so we can talk.
Starting point is 00:09:15 The coolest thing is that the, it then goes to a chip, it's called a gold chip spin. And what it does is it brings up the scene. where Q's handing him the brightling in Thunderball. And you see Desmond Llewellyn's giant hands. And then it turns into a wheel that you spin. So you're spinning the watch and then you can land on Thunderball free spins, which is so delightful because you're literally, it will spin a bunch of reels,
Starting point is 00:09:52 but then all of a sudden you'll see water just whoosh up. And then it goes up to the, on the top screen, you see Largo on the, on the disco Valante and the weird henchmen with the grenades. Vargas? Yeah. Oh, my God. And, you know, they just show him pointing down to where he should drop the grenade. And he drops the grenade onto the reels and those reels become wild. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:10:20 So delightful. I love that. But anyway, yeah. So I just want to say out there's a lot of. advances in the slot machine James Bond world and I think everyone out there should run. Don't walk. Run to Vegas. Run on the 15. The desert highway all the way to Vegas. This is the thing you'd love, right? This one shot, this gold situation. This is pretty cool. Listen to it. This video is called 007 James Bond Casino Rail $27 bonus rounds. Happy Slop Machine Mohegan Sun if you want to hold. Oh, what? Mohegan Sun. Nice. Why did it just go totally unloud?
Starting point is 00:10:58 I can't use words. That's so weird. That's very strange. Anyway, so look, Matt, it shoots, you have to shoot the cards, 007, you shoot 007 out of the titles. And then you win that amount of money. Wow. Great time.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Good talk, everybody. We got one thing to do before we get to the film. The reason we're all here is that someone sent us some very thick envelopes that have little tag that say to be opened with Gorley. So there's Matt Myra and Matt Goreley here. So when I I was looking for something, PJ McQuade is the name of the
Starting point is 00:11:33 artist and I ordered a print of Quint from Jaws and he then decided, he's like are you the Matt Myra from the James Bonding podcast? And I was like, yes, yes I am. He was like please send, I'm going to send
Starting point is 00:11:49 you something extra for you and Goreley to have. And he He has sent us, he does, look at this. He sent us a Magruber card, which by the way, I got a Macroover card. I got a castaway card that says, castaway your blues this holiday season. Dear Matt, thanks for the entertainment, best PJ. And I got Jaws ornaments. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Look at this. So you got Matt Hooper. Incredible. The shark, you got the orca all done up for Christmas. So is the, the, the shark has a Santa hat on. And it's just great. I think honestly, everybody, you should head over to Etsy. He's got an Etsy shop, PJ McQuaid, and I just, honestly, just found him because I wanted his print of Quint.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Print of Quint. These are really, really wonderful illustrations, I have to say. If you're ever peeing in my bathroom, Matt, and you look up and you see Quinn staring at you while you're peeing, that's a PJ McQuade print. That's a PJ McQuade print. Wow, very nice. Okay, thank you, PJ. Castle McQuade, I believe, is the name of his Etsy shop. Let's get to it, huh?

Starting point is 00:16:35 Those were some great ads. It's 1987. This was when I, like I was, you know, steeped in bond by my dad, but this is when I really started digging into it on my own, getting into the minutia. And I was very, very excited for this film to come out. I remember the excitement in my household for Timothy Dalton's turn as Bond.
Starting point is 00:16:55 A little disappointment, of course, raining down from not having Remington Steel take over at this point. I was okay. Because then you had both. He stayed on Remington Steel. Did you not like him then? I did, but it was, I don't know. It was not Bond. You know, this is exactly, if you go back to our old archives and listen to 1990 high five,
Starting point is 00:17:16 we find out why Matt wasn't into Pierce Brosnan. And I put this on Do Not Disturb. What the hell? I quit podcasts, guys. I'm done. I can't. So, yeah, it's the first one of Timothy Dalton. The first of two.
Starting point is 00:17:28 So if we watch the first and last of everybody, we'd only, we'd watch all of. That's right. And we've already seen all of George Lacey's and Bees. So you know how this goes, guys. We're going to hit play. You're going to hear the, besides my phone going fucking crazy. It sounds like it's hooked up to the blue. This is insane.
Starting point is 00:17:45 It's not at all. I'm hearing it on the headphones. Well, it's picking up on this mic. I see. So let me just do that. 22 years of podcasting experience. In experience. Inexperience.
Starting point is 00:17:55 That's what we... Bover's not experts. Oh, God. I hate myself. I don't see that harsh. No, it's true. I'm sorry, everybody. Anyway, we're going to hear the lion from MGM roar a couple times.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Then we're going to pause it so you can get all queued up with us. And then we'll have a countdown of 3-1 play. And you'll hit play. Well, isn't it? Don't we do 3-2-1 after the first roar and before the second. That's correct. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Thank you for reminding us all of how it actually works. All right. Okay. Pause. That's a big roar. Yeah. That sounds bigger than it ever has been. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:32 3-2-1, I think there's going to be a small beat before the second roar, but here we go, right? So, well, essentially just you've paused it when we paused it and 3-2-1 play and Matt does the countdown. Three, two, one, play. Oh, here we go. The old United Artists logo, no longer with us, right? Are they not? Isn't there a UA theater down on the Third Street Promenade? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:02 All right, I'm taking myself back to where I think I saw this at the Lomarada Mall, I believe, in 1987. Pretty decent gun barrel shot there. Pretty solid. Solid stance. He's got a nice split, you know, shoulder length apart. Nothing too flashy. Oh, it does remind me how much I love this opening sequence. You know, I'm trying to figure out which James Bond movie I've seen the least amount of times.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Is it this one? It's either this one or license to kill. Really? Why is Gibraltar that heavily defended in 1987? Was it really that much of a Cold War target? Look, you want a rock. That's where you're going, right? That's true.
Starting point is 00:19:40 It's the most renowned rock in the world. You're afraid people are going to steal it. Once I have, all Zit rocks. All right, Will Havsie World. Prudential's attacking again. All right, we got Robert Brown is M. He's firmly ensconced now at this point. His second to last to M job.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Where's your pre-ranking M draft? Have you pre-ranked all your players? Yeah, we're recording this before what will be the six-person bond fantasy film. Right. So, chronologically, they're not going to be. They'll hear that after this. Yeah, well, we record that tomorrow. I love the way these guys follow.
Starting point is 00:20:17 of the plane. Yeah, I mean, they just seem to really be enjoying themselves. Just embracing the air. All ballet is in motion. What am I talking about? Poetry in motion. Ballet in motion. Good question, though, about the Rock of Gibraltar. Are there missile sites on there? Like, what's happening? There's a full, like, military bay. I know it's full of monkeys that will just grope you. Are you the Rock of Gibraltar? Can you write in and tell us about yourself? We'd love to hear from you. You know where to send that email. something something at gmail yeah that's right james bond bonding i forget our email is it uh james bonding pod at gmail dot com i there is that our twitter it's bond james
Starting point is 00:20:59 bonding at gmail dot com i believe okay great ask emily emily yes i mean obviously this guy's gonna go first because yeah look at he didn't even have a clean landing i know he got stuck in the thing. Now, he's, we've talked about this on the podcast before, but he's one of the Imperial commanders in return of the Jedi, that guy. A guy that gets shot? Yeah. Not the guy with the line. Interesting. Also, getting shot with paintballs or powder balls? I think it's a little bit of both. Why not? But it's probably a paintball, right? That's not going to hold anyway, so what he's doing here, I know. It's really. He may not have even been murdered. I don't think it was. Now, I like how they're getting increasingly, but not totally to these guys looking like they could be bond.
Starting point is 00:21:50 That's true, because we haven't seen the new bond yet. The first guy's a goofball. The second guy's like, almost there. He's kind of cool looking. Kind of looks like Dalton a bit. Help me out here. Remind me of the plot. Already?
Starting point is 00:22:08 Just, no, because, you know what, I'll just enjoy the movie. Well, he's tagging. Oh, that's the most handsome turnaround. to watch a friend die I've ever seen. Look how good he looks. It's all studio lighting, but who cares? The wind's blowing. That's a pretty good reveal.
Starting point is 00:22:22 I mean, would you put that second to Connery? Yes. Yes, I would. I think we covered this once. Because the turn, the hair turn, I mean, first of all, Timothy Dalton, this is like, still when he had a head of hair? Yeah. It's now, it's going the way of all of our hair at this point, but just the way the wind
Starting point is 00:22:43 caressed the hair in a gentle fashion. His startling blue eyes. There's the groping monkeys. Also, the pink versus the red. If they revealed a little bit later in this film that that other guy was just using red paintballs and everyone was just acting, I would have not been surprised. They're not good squibs. What do you mean? I don't think they're good squibs.
Starting point is 00:23:11 Why not? Because, well, maybe it's just the color. They're on this dark color. they're not showing up as blood as I'd like. Well, I think that's probably by design because this is I forget, is this PG-13
Starting point is 00:23:25 I think this is right after the PG-13 rating was invented. Yeah, so it's only been around for three years. Yeah, but is this movie PG-G-or-P-G-13? I mean, again, love or not an expert. Right, right. Here we got some sweet John Barry score kicking in.
Starting point is 00:23:42 The last John Barry score of the series but real uh they went for some real like machine drums here um what do you think that guy was doing by shooting his paintballs at them now this guy's fully prepared to just shoot real bullets at explosives yeah but he doesn't know he doesn't care what do you think of this henchman guy i mean i think he looks like an accountant yeah a little bit he looks like an extra in the british office i love that uh you got dalton doing a lot of his own stunts here, right off the bat. I mean, I think Dalton is underrated. He's not the best, but he's underrated. I think he gets sort of, the problem with Dalton is that he only had two.
Starting point is 00:24:29 That's sort of, you just sort of get lost in the, in the shuffle of all these guys now who've been, I mean, you have, Craig is now doing his what, fifth? Fifth. Dalton is forever the binary bond where you can't tell is living daylight's his standard or is licensed to kill his standard we'll never know without a third movie I have to say I think that in license
Starting point is 00:24:52 I think that living daylights would have been a standard I hope so but I don't know that the movies would have gone that way because in some ways you can tell more about Lazenby from one movie than you can about Dalton from two and you can put that in your philosophy books
Starting point is 00:25:08 but it also feels like it would have been a I mean but Laysenby's movie just happened to be very good you know this movie's pretty good yes but he also did license to kill which I do like but I recognize is not the strongest film I love that guy was trying to steer out of his death what if his car did a U-turn and just started floating up now we'd be into real
Starting point is 00:25:36 brosnin-bond film if that were the case. It's so, Marco. She's talking to my cat. Did you, the real man found you, honey? That's right. And here he is.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Love this. Reverse. I mean, he's got a lot of good reveals. What if he, what if in his contract was, it must be revealed into every scene? Is this the most thrown away, Bond James Bond?
Starting point is 00:26:05 And it's almost so purposefully thrown away. I resented a little bit. I know. know Dalton's probably like, let's toss it off, but I got to use a little bit more, you know, spotlight on that. What do you think? I like it in the sense of like, I'm on a cordless phone. I'm James Bond. Like, he's the 80s James Bond. Yeah. This song grows on me more through the years. Because I think the first, when I first heard it, I didn't care for it. Also, in 1987, aha in America at least or in my purview was already a one-hit wonder and I was surprised to have
Starting point is 00:26:45 them back for a second hit in your mind turns out to be the song although I really do take on like take on me take on me is a great song yeah you have no you have no qualms here from the take on me and what was there other take you on with that take on me takes right it's a good take second hit the sun always shines on TV or something like oh yeah they're they have a great unplug where they do this song too. That's not unplugged, but maybe it is. I don't know. It's not going to live deal. Uh, projection onto ladies. Yeah, he's stealing the Robert Brown John method at this point and doing some laser action. Laser action is the best action you can get. I do like guns firing and rhythm with the song. I like a bond and lady with a gun right there because there is no, I mean,
Starting point is 00:27:38 Does Libby Diabo ever fire a gun in this movie? I don't think she does. She doesn't fire her sniper rifle? She never does, huh? No, because he hits the butt of it with her, with the, you know, his crack shot. The way we die. Living's in the way we die.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Put that in your philosophy book now that you're writing one. There's got to be a philosophy of James Bond book out there, right? Cut that out and let's do it. that would be the worst philosophy to live your life by. No, I think there's some wisdoms peppered throughout. What would some of those be? I think, for instance, never have Bollinger below certain degrees. Bollinger below 37 degrees, like listening to the Beatles without earmuffs.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Yeah, yeah. Now, this is some high-de-de-de-de-de-old. Isn't it a Dom Perignon? Tattoo-D-D-Ti. It's a Dom-Paron-Jon-54, is it? I don't remember. I never, we're lovers, not experts. You don't remember.
Starting point is 00:28:37 I retain a lot of trivia. Wait, I retain a lot of trivia, but never number-based trivia. Yeah. That goes back to me, like, virtually passing algebra by the skin of my teeth. You know, I think the dirtiest secret of this podcast is that you hate Sean Connery. Oh, I don't. Yeah. Why would you say that?
Starting point is 00:28:55 No, I cut out all your audio right now. He's not even defending himself right now. It's crazy. What? I like Sean Conner. You don't like him as much as you like. Roger Moore. That's true because even if you like Connery's Bond more, Roger Moore's so damn
Starting point is 00:29:13 likable. I may name a son after him. Are you going to name your son, Roger Moore, Gourley? We're not expecting, but I've already run that by Amanda and she liked the name because Roger's a name you don't hear anymore. And then I didn't tell her it was based on Roger Moore for a while. But then I did bring it up. And even then she was like, oh, you dirty rap, but okay.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Guy Roger Gourley, but he'll go by Roger. Guy Roger Gourley, I don't hate it. You go Guy Hamilton, Roger Moore. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. My grandpa's name was Guy. Oh, well, that's all built in for you. We're still in the, we're still on the basis of the name game.
Starting point is 00:29:46 We're trying to figure it out. Any contenders that you can talk about? James? How about Saunders? James, I tried to get Sumner. That's right. I like that. It didn't go.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Yeah. Jack, I feel like might be sort of the lead contender right now. Oh, nice. Now, I love this movie because you go from. Olivia. My niece's name. Olivia's a good name. Olivia Diablo.
Starting point is 00:30:10 You go from tense, high action right into class and sophistication here. Pretty good. I also like that this side area here by these boxes, it seems like that easily converts into a ballroom. Yeah, I think you're right. I think you're right. It's a cue gadget before there were cue gadgets. This is the last Cold War Bond movie. It's also a ballroom.
Starting point is 00:30:36 You're joking. I thought it was a concert hall No, and the whole ballroom fits one of my hands I miss Cold War Bond Well, you know, maybe he'll be back If they do a period thing This is so silly I've got to get me one of those cooks that does that
Starting point is 00:30:57 And I've got to kill people with a sniper A specific James Bond sniper tuxedo That made me my favorite gadget of the entire franchise A little Velcro towel that. Come on. It's that, right? It's this and the, um, the octopusy, uh, general's uniform that turns into a safari's safari coat. The, uh, stiffening hat. Look how good he looks there with that weird gun. Oh, the big old Walther. It's a giant caliber gun. I don't know why he needs it. I, because he's brand loyal. Oh, I see. He's got to go through the body armor. That's a Walther tuxedo.
Starting point is 00:31:34 I love I love how British this guy is and I get real sad when he decides to help but doesn't work out for him Yeah Now is this audio in the recording? It is not Okay
Starting point is 00:31:48 Because some people We're out for blood A little too much Luckily I don't go on social media anymore So good for you I just got it through the I stand in our defense at all times Even though I don't write these people back
Starting point is 00:32:03 I fucked it up But if you do If you are tweeting with Complaints about the show or technical quality or anything like that. If you want to send those, don't. You can. It's fine. Send it to Earwolf.
Starting point is 00:32:15 And we'll hear about it. But that morning, I was on set outside and I had to fucking find, I had to redo it. Weirdly, I brought my, I had the SD card and I left it in my computer that day because I felt like something was wrong.
Starting point is 00:32:29 You knew. All three podcasts I put out that week had something wrong. Oh, I've been there. It was such a mess. You know, it's not a mess, night vision. That's right. This was still a novel thing back then. What if a T-Rex appeared?
Starting point is 00:32:46 Well, General K, what's his name? General Kosoff, Kosovov. Koskoff. Koskoff, isn't it? I think you're probably right. Yeah. This old lady really had a good time. She's shuffling through.
Starting point is 00:33:00 First appearance of a urinal in James Bond, not the last. Is it? I'm making that up. It's good to see how the other half. peas there on the other side of the iron curtain. He, of course, peas in the sit-down toilet. Oh, nope, he's leaving. Now, what do you think of this?
Starting point is 00:33:13 I love this actor. He's so funny in this. Yes. Yerome Krabbe? Excuse me, I have a cold. He just looked at me so funny. Isn't that his name? Probably.
Starting point is 00:33:27 It is. Oh, actually, I can tell you. I forgot we're watching this on... Yerone. Yerone... Yeroon Krabbe. Yeron Krabbe. Yeron Krabe.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Guys, do you want to know some general trivia? The sniper duel scene is a reasonably straight adaptation of the short story. The rest of the film is a new creation. The tale of General Georgi Koskoff was inspired by the 1985 true life defection of KGB agent Vittali Vittali, Jirchenko. Jesus, who soon and shortly thereafter re-defected back to the Soviet Union. Why? The war in Afghanistan and the Soviet politics also contributed to this.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Now, that's a pretty good fact. I didn't know it was based on a true story. If you ever haven't read any Fleming and want to get into it, I recommend this little short story, The Living Daylights. It's just this kind of segment, and it's real quick. Same with Four Your Eyes Only. There's a really good little motorcycle short story. That's good.
Starting point is 00:34:28 That rifle is a W-A-2000 sniper rifle. All right. I hope you're happy, man. I looked that up for you. Thank you. I love an Audi 500, Quattro. Saunders has become one of my favorite
Starting point is 00:34:42 all-time bond allies because he's got an arc that the others don't have. He was not even mentioned in our previous draft. I know, but guess what? We're doing this draft and this wonderful listener named Aaron sent us this huge worksheet on what to fill out. I noticed it was missing some things, so I put
Starting point is 00:34:58 Saunders in. Hi, Dory. I put Saunders in. I'm representing Sonders. And I don't want to tip my hat, but who knows, maybe I'll be choosing them. Wow. Does any other Bond ally really have a character arc? Maybe the new Felix Lider a little bit. Yeah, but he does go from foe to ally, which happens a couple times, like a Mayday situation,
Starting point is 00:35:23 which, well, he's not so foe. He's just stuffy by the book. Yeah, and, well, the original Jack Lord Lider is a little adversarial at first. But that's kind of like just job-based stuff. This is a guy who changes his tune once he gets to no bond. I don't know. I mean, I think we're making a case for this being a better Bond movie than people may think. I know a lot of people give it the credibility or the credit it's due, but I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:52 I don't have a point. Put it in your philosophy book. This is your new thing. I'm a little sluggist this morning. You're going to get there. It's almost afternoon. It is afternoon. Well done.
Starting point is 00:36:06 I love a pipeline with dots. It's a thing that shows up in James Bond movies. Yeah, you mean like any path plotted on dots that... No, I literally mean pipeline. You know, the world is not enough. Oh, yeah. Like, there's a whole scene built around the pipeline dots. That's right.
Starting point is 00:36:22 Yeah, tomorrow or die another day has a pipeline. I mean, sorry. Diamonds. Diamonds are forever. Wow. I knew it started with a D. Thanks for coming along on this journey. with us as we declined into senility.
Starting point is 00:36:41 It was so nice to have had all my faculties. Yeah. And to have it on record when we started this podcast. Yeah. I mean, we were just sharper then. Everything was just better. If anything, our 22 years experience in podcasting will be a record of our decline. And it's happening.
Starting point is 00:37:01 I mean, she might be my favorite bond ally. She's pretty great. Does she have a name? I guess I could tell you. tell you right now. Rosica Miklos. Oh, is she Greek?
Starting point is 00:37:16 Click on her name. What else is she done? Julie T. Wallace is her name. Oh, no, mad. I can't click on the name. It'll stop the thing. Oh, boy, now there's going to be a split second delay.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Gosh. That's all right. Why'd you tell me to do that? I ruined everything. Once again. We're close enough. Oh, I did it again. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Keep going. Just go. All right. You know, if you're listening, just press pause for like, one literal second. Yes. And then you'll be caught up with us again.
Starting point is 00:37:44 This is really, we are just... Quality. We are... Programming. Our worst selves? All right. Let's get back to talking about this film, huh? Pipeline's going, everybody.
Starting point is 00:37:57 She has distracted him with her ample... You don't have to tell them what's happening. Well, no, I mean, just so they know that if they're sort of synced up. I love that that's enough for this man just to have his face buried in her bosom. There's no kissing or anything like that. Maybe that's all he ever wanted. Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:38:16 A little bit of comedy in this otherwise pretty dry film. Saunders is hanging out here by the pipeline. And this is where it passes by and makes a sharp 90 degree turn, right? Yeah. Like not even a curve. I think that's coming up. Yeah, right here. Why even show it?
Starting point is 00:38:41 I know. Or it's like an 80 degree turn, but still. No, it's just not plausible. Like, I don't even know why they would show that part of the pipeline. Yeah, that's... Do you think Q gives good massages because his hands are so big? No, I think they're doughy, so it's like having a human body pressed up against your body. You know, I like more of a pinpoint massage.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Yeah, yeah. Just really to figure out, like, the problem areas. And I feel like it's just like slapping a ham on you. Do you think Saunders is so upset because Bond broke protocol or his ego is bruised because he didn't really... His ego is bruised. Little both, man. His ego is so bruised. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Now, Hawker Harriers, they were big deals in the 80s. I built a model. One of my first, maybe my first ever model was a Hawker Harrier? I think the, the, the, um, Harrier Jet, so iconic, just for its vertical takeoff purposes. But very dangerous. Look. Schwarzenegger used one in true lives. With Art Malick.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Oh my God. Art Malick is, he's the crown prince of Hawker Harrier films. Art Malick might be the hawker harrier of actors. Dangerous. But when you see him, you're like, that's, I love that. Effective. Love that person. Mysterious.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Yeah. What do you think of this insane score that was just happening? So it was so orchestrally like, Pa, pa, bah. It reminds me of when they're launching the rockets and Moonraker. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like Vognarian, kind of. So, Matt, I figured out that I have other web browsers I could just use.
Starting point is 00:40:34 So I've looked up Julie T. Walker. It's Walker or Wallace? I'm sorry, Wallace. And you said, what did you want to know? Well, just has she been in anything big that we'd know. This is what we like to call on the Star Trek podcast, Andy Secunda's claim to fame. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:40:50 Where he's struggled. goes, I think I know her from something big, but I can't figure it out. Then we find it. And of course, the big thing is always some bizarre thing no one's ever heard of but him. She was in the Fifth Element, major Iceborg. Okay. Adam's family values. She is Valerie the Valiant.
Starting point is 00:41:13 Oh, that was the TV series. That was Adam's Family Tree. Dr. Terrible's House of Horrible. Oh, sure. Dr. Terrible, yeah. Speed racer. She's a truck driver and speed racer, which I've heard is actually good.
Starting point is 00:41:29 I like Speed Racer. Yeah. Never seen it. I mean, look, she's been working steadily. Yeah. So. Oh, there's Caroline Bliss. I really like her.
Starting point is 00:41:41 She, uh, I think she's every, um, 80s thing that I was attracted to in a woman at the time, kind of bookish, but still very, attractive. I love bookish. I also love this ghetto blaster. Yeah. Which is the, essentially, he's making the exact device that they use in Beverly Hills Cop 3. Which was, this was first though.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Yes. But the Beverly Hills Cup 3 went also out of microwave. I haven't seen that movie ever. If you want to hear an audio commentary of Beverly Hills Cop 3, check on an old episode of Fibbe, where I made Scott Mosier watch it. Oh, geez. That's the one where George Lucas has a cameo. It sure does.
Starting point is 00:42:28 He gets cut in line. That's crazy. Those are good glasses. Yeah. Barry Manilow. Oh, no. Slapping buttocks. Slapping buttocks is parenthetically placed there.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Cows mooing. From slapping buttocks to cows mooing. Do you think he meant to apologize? Like, do you think that this guy, do you think he was really sorry in the moment? when he ran and bumped into the milk guy and apologized and said sorry. Well, why does he do that only to sneak back up on him? That's a great question. So I want to know if he was running didn't mean to bump into him
Starting point is 00:43:13 and his sorry was an actual general reflex. Like he reflexively said sorry because he's a good guy. He just has a job to do. Yeah, but I think it's also a way for him to like illustrate his British accent, his fake British accent. that he's just of the village. God, I love that Aston Martin. Maybe my favorite.
Starting point is 00:43:33 Did I choose the one from Honor Majesty's or this one in the first draft? I believe you took this one. He said skis, right? I can't remember. Although the ski-wise, it wouldn't be this one. This is the Volante. This is a convertible. I also like his coat.
Starting point is 00:43:52 That's very 80s. That kind of like, almost like Glenn. plaid and blackwatch plaid mixed together. Oh yeah. Now we're talking. Boy, I don't mind what I tell you.
Starting point is 00:44:04 I'm going to get it. Imagine you driving that Aston Martin Volante and wearing that coat showing up with a picnic basket from Herod's. That's when you end it all, because it ain't going to get any better. What do you think of a knit tie? I love it.
Starting point is 00:44:19 It's the, Dr. Nove. There's a knit tie also. And Spector, right? Yeah. Look at the, uh, shoulder pads on this. Those aren't shoulder pads. Those are shoulder ironing boards.
Starting point is 00:44:32 I mean, look at, those are full observation decks. Those are cantilever to houses. Well, it's actually for giving the Harrier two more places to land. Do you think the silver gives the tea a weird taste? I don't think so. I also love that this is the Bladen house, patron saint. Patron guest saint of the James Bonding podcast, James Bladen. spelled different but still
Starting point is 00:45:00 I like that this guy's doing his job right you know also this has to be the longest pretender's song ever that it's still going I also I'm now looking at him with a whole new light with that apology when he was running so you think he's sincerely sorry I think he was sincerely sorry that he bumped into that guy
Starting point is 00:45:21 so if he's not on the job he's actually a nice guy good person I think he's also a great assassin. We're going to have to revisit that when they get to the swimming pool scene because I feel like he's a little rude to one of the women. Oh, no. We're going to have to look at that. You're absolutely right. Yeah. Last James Bond to smoke a cigarette? I think so. I don't think he even smokes some license to kill. No, he does, not at the casino.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Yeah, because he's got a license. What? I'm sorry, everyone. He looks pale. Like, like he's in a student play. Talking about Bond? Yes, and he's playing a corpse. That's what his makeup looks like in this scene. Just blown out. What a loafer. Do you think that they put the...
Starting point is 00:46:19 Is he the prime minister? Not the prime minister. Who is this guy? I always forget. He's the minister of defense or something, Jeffrey, someone. Doesn't he then become Bond? The M? No.
Starting point is 00:46:30 He never, becomes M, but he's in it. He's in a lot of them. And I always wonder is like after Robert Brown left, did they just feel like we need to get two of these guys in because they can never measure up to the charm of Robert Brown. Yeah, but I think it's not Robert Brown. I think it's a minister in defense and M. Yeah. I forgot about the parent. No, it is. But I'm wondering why did they always feel the need to double up in these later era ones? You know, because they just didn't want to have a rotating cast of nobody's being ministers. No, but how many people are eating that ham?
Starting point is 00:47:03 How many people are eating that ham? Do you think that's all for M? M just left. So, wait, so this is just a safe house? That has a parrot. This is a parrot safe house? Oh, yeah, I guess. Because I thought, you know, honest to God,
Starting point is 00:47:20 I thought this was, I love this guy. We've said this many times. I'll say it again. Wait a minute. Now, they should just show that guy at the security booth drinking milk. So he's given some real milk. out.
Starting point is 00:47:32 Yeah. So he's doing his job until he doesn't do his job. I'm just saying, whatever the task is in the moment, he is doing that. So. So look at that. That's for all for eggs, for hard boiling, soft boiling eggs right there. You know, you may have a point because the way, when he dies outside the back of the plane and he realized he's going to die, he really screams like, sort of like, I was just
Starting point is 00:47:53 doing my job. Yes. Maybe Necros is a real. I think he's just a good guy. You know, I think there's actually a competing movie airing right. now in Russia, that's from his point of view, and he's the hero. Right. I need to, um, I need to weigh the evidence a little bit more.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Cast iron, crack it. You know, if you're going to get hit with a pan, why do a cast iron crate pan? Now, he's doing a British accent there that's ADR, but I believe that's still him. He's just doing his own ADR. But he's also clearing the room to make everybody safe, you know? It's a deal with Bond movies. They just had a shitty sound man on the set every time. I think they never considered, um, that guy should blow up his tummy now, because he's drinking.
Starting point is 00:48:44 So that's, so there's real milk and there's also explosive milk. Talk about lactose intolerant. But doesn't he not want to kill him? Georgie? Yeah. He does not. Doesn't he not want to? He does not.
Starting point is 00:49:00 Correct. Yeah. What's your point? What's he even doing this for? Um. Because aren't they in cahoots? Yeah, but he's with him. But they're against Russia and the West.
Starting point is 00:49:16 Oh, right, right, right. Thank you for a plot refresher, which I need pretty much every time I watch every movie except Tomorrow and Ever Dies because it's the clearest best movie. Look, the score has gone straight into the Pretender's Melody. Well, it's going to do what it's going to do. I love the horseback folk.
Starting point is 00:49:39 Yeah. Now I'm a doctor. We need a professional. that's also doctor-like, who wears white? Milkmen. Yes. Was that or butcher, stormtrooper, or sailor?
Starting point is 00:50:03 Oh, actually, so many options. Necros's hair stays intact during all that. Well, I got to assume he's putting in some sort of hair gel of sorts. like a secret hair gel it's some milk that guy could have run a little earlier
Starting point is 00:50:26 hey uh you're not gonna believe this but uh laugh face doc see em could say all of this but I feel like you know broccoli's had this guy on he's like
Starting point is 00:50:44 I like playing backgammon with in between takes let's give him a roll he's the only guy really likes my spaghetti he looks like grandpa monster he really does
Starting point is 00:50:57 yeah ding deen dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee be de dee dee this office is pretty much back yeah this is the closest
Starting point is 00:51:09 to M's huh I mean to you know Ray Fines yeah careful Matt sorry I just get
Starting point is 00:51:18 I just hope you don't pat if that chair might be more comfortable for you oh that's fine okay because you look very uncomfortable well I can't sit still
Starting point is 00:51:26 regardless also does that help you like? A little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Please.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Move in the monitor. Don't, don't. Up until this point, I was just doing it all from memory. Don't. Don't. It was very impressive. Yeah. The only thing was wrong about was the actors who were on screen and what was
Starting point is 00:51:45 happening. Yeah. So here's the trench run into the Death Star. No. That's not for five minutes. Three piece on three piece in this scene. Shoulder pads are a little. A little less.
Starting point is 00:51:59 A little. I always find it odd when a three-piece suit has a vest, but the coat is the kind that kind of covers up most of the vest. I feel like if you're going to have a vest, show it a little. No, I like that look, because once you take off the jacket, you then become cool vest guy. But you'd do that anyway. Yeah, I know, but then you're like, your tie matches the pattern that's already there. It's none of this changes with what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:52:26 I think it changes all of it. Why don't you just... Here's the Asin Martin, the one that you want. So you would say you want more of a Desmond Lewell invest situation. Yeah, I guess. Yeah. Tie. I love that tie.
Starting point is 00:52:43 And please tell me that's like a cue branch tie. Please tell me also that the, um, he never pulls that tie down. And it just stays like that. I know. It's all bunched up. Look at his hands. It looks like he's wearing hand gloves. He could be.
Starting point is 00:52:59 He might have built. those hands for himself. Yeah. He really looks like he's wearing fake hand, prosthetic hand gloves, and that's the smallest they could get them. He must have like some kind of arthritis or bursitis or something. Poor guy. I don't know. For that many years? For 40 years? You can't be born that way. You'd never be born. I think you'd be a C-section. They probably had to do a hand C-section. It's more than that. They would have to really cut that woman. Oh my God This is a
Starting point is 00:53:37 This is not a funny joke That Bond does to pork you here A wolf whistle Mm-hmm But zero percent of rushes Still useful I love this couch In every way
Starting point is 00:54:04 Well done money penny You found the cellist Well She does That's more than most money pennies do You found the cellist's giant front page news story Still Still in that time
Starting point is 00:54:18 I mean, Lois Maxwell, she's just booking tickets. That's true. Like a precursor to Eve. Booking tickets, saving bond from himself all the time. She does go in the field. She does go in the field in... Lois Maxwell does a lot. You keep cutting me off.
Starting point is 00:54:33 Lois Maxwell does a lot. She goes in the field in Diamonds of Forever and view to a kill. Right? She goes, well, she goes to the Derby. Yes. And she goes to like the fairer. the hovercraft fairy and you only live twice?
Starting point is 00:54:57 No, and diamonds are forever. She gives him his passport when they steal... Oh, right. But then you only live twice, she's in that turned over ship. Right, well, all right. But she's still acting mostly
Starting point is 00:55:11 in a secretarial role. I feel like this money penny's doing some intelligence gathering. Yeah, but Lois Maxwell, I feel like her biggest... The asset she protected was James. True. And I'm not knocking Lois Maxwell.
Starting point is 00:55:24 I'm just saying. No, I mean, it's clear. You hate Sean Connery and Lois Maxwell. Oh, my God. This guy. Wow. Wow. I'm going to have to cut that because that was so rude what you just said about John Connery and Lois Maxwell.
Starting point is 00:55:39 What do you think of this bong girl, Olivia Diabo? I think she is great. I think she's beautiful. And the part's great for her. I think I buy that she plays cello. She's not a nuclear physicist. Is she the most ineffectual of all the bond girls, though? I mean, she's truly a damsel in distress in this movie.
Starting point is 00:56:02 But she is the character, right? Yeah, I know. She is a cellist, you know? I know. But it just, there's something a little too prince charming princess damsel in distress about this one for me. I wouldn't mind her getting a little bit more action. I mean, there's no action in this movie, speaking of action. My cello.
Starting point is 00:56:28 Master Antonio. Does she look back? She doesn't give the cello a look back? I'd feel bad about that cello. Somebody out there caught that joke. Oh, there he is. It's weird he's playing a Russian, because I'm so used to him as Sala. But he's neither of those things.
Starting point is 00:56:45 He's Welsh. He's more Gimli the dwarf. I think of him at Disneyland. As Sala. In the ride. A British soul is a soaring soul. I'll tell you, this, this, this makes me want to visit, where is this Moscow?
Starting point is 00:57:14 No, they're like Czech Republic or something. Look, I love cobblestones. I know, me too. If you put out some cobblestones, I'm there. I want to go to Austria to that place they're, they meet up in Austria. My hometown, the downtown was cobblestone. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:28 What's your hometown? Lowell, Massachusetts. Oh, that must be nice. Really? Wow, I can't imagine being raised in a place with such history. Nixon and the Quakers about all we got in Wood here. We got a quarter, actually, this year. Lowell, Massachusetts has a quarter.
Starting point is 00:57:47 Like a U.S. quarter? Yeah. Wow. It's a woman at a loom. Birthplace, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution in America. You're welcome. Sweatshops Look, children had to work
Starting point is 00:58:03 The mill owners lived on the higher floors I mean That looks like Hal Holbrook Coming into the bathroom There's a six minute comedy scene cut Where he starts going in as Mark Twain Mark Twain
Starting point is 00:58:15 It's on the cutting room floor But I'd love to see that Do you think that gun's a Walter Hers is not I bet Did they just hold her shoulder hard the whole time?
Starting point is 00:58:30 I know. They gave her Nugis. We're going to make it. So when you get home and try to play your cello, it's going to be really hard. That guy is Albert Finney. Amma. Rest in peace. We talked about that, right? We did.
Starting point is 00:58:48 We did. Oh, and what's his name? The guy who sung, holy myself to blame. That, like, B-side from, uh, is it, the world? is not tomorrow never die Scott Walker died Oh
Starting point is 00:59:05 I didn't even know that I read an article on him that he was like a teen heartthrob That transcended that and kind of had more substance Only myself To blame That's sort of like the goal right You want to transcend the teen heartthrob genre Just like the Beatles
Starting point is 00:59:25 The who That movie Yes day that's coming out. Oh, yeah. That's like such a, it's the thing like you always think about, but you're like, oh, I could never get that made. And they got it made.
Starting point is 00:59:47 It's amazing. Yeah. I haven't seen a trailer, but I've heard about the concept of it. Well, it's like my dream is always to go back in time to season two of Cheers, get on the writing staff with the knowledge of the 200 episodes that follow. Why not season one? Yeah, I'll let them get up and run ahead. I don't want to be around.
Starting point is 01:00:03 There's too much stress around the first season. But that's how I just want to go back in time and do that. You wouldn't want to get on like the Covey Broccoli's good side? Oh my God. Oh, he and I would have some pasta. I feel like, yeah, I'd like to rise to the ranks of being a John Glenn, just a journeyman director. Oh, I want to be a Mankowitz. Oh, interesting.
Starting point is 01:00:26 I'll fix all the problems we've had with these films. Wait, what? You mean Maybomb? Did I, what did I say? Mankowitz? No, Mankowitz did. the, like the middle ones. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:38 I don't want to do doctor. I don't want to redo doctor. No. No. Right. It's already perfect. Why would you change it? But again, you hate John Connery, so I get it. Are you trying to deflect me off Brosnan? Is that what it is? I'm trying to make your true feelings known that you only like Roger Moore and Daniel Craig. And everyone else is nothing to you. Not true.
Starting point is 01:01:04 What do you think of this leather jacket? I like it. It's that Commando Casual genre that I like that I've been dressing more and more recently. What a genre. Commando Casual Nacks and like little, like, they're not like like almost like cocktail attire bomber jackets or like, I don't know what you call them. Spot Commander Casual. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:01:30 But it looks like I'm about to in the 60s infiltrate like a villain's. layer at night. Have you successfully done so yet? I've successfully warned them. I haven't successfully infiltrated a Villan's Lair. I think you're... Did you see my... This again, the only real social media I ever do anymore is the sort of Instagram
Starting point is 01:01:50 posts, but did you see the other day I posted a picture of an Aston Martin with a vanity plate that said no stir? Yeah. You didn't realize... Honestly, because I was... Because it was outside of Norm's rare guitars and a... coffee place. My brain went to the coffee place. Like I was like stir. It doesn't like it's shaking and that stirred. Yeah. Yes. I mean, that's what it is. It's clear. And it should have
Starting point is 01:02:16 been clear from the second I laid eyes on it. What asked it was it? That was a, that was like a, I think it was a DB, DB 11. I don't even know what any of them are really. Is that like a recent one? Yeah. Oh. Yeah, it was a 2019. What do you think about this little love theme? This is kind of nice. I mean, this is the moment they fell in love. This is another Pretender's song. So, did John Barry write the Pretender's song or vice versa? And he incorporated into the score.
Starting point is 01:02:48 What's your little trivia on the side? That might be a little trivia. Let's see. The last main Bond Girl to be blonde until Spector. All leading blonde girls in the other films have been brunettes or redheads. Really? I'm going to look this up. That's what the trivia is.
Starting point is 01:03:08 Oh, now we get some jazzy jazz playing. on the radio. I love it. I'll tell you, nothing looks better. That, that radio right there is more dated
Starting point is 01:03:22 than the radar in the DB5. This is PG, by the way. Parental guidance. Stadne. I'm not going to be says, yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:38 Okay, let's see. Hmm. Don't they have like songs listed on IMDB? Um, probably.
Starting point is 01:03:52 I don't know. Matt, this has a, this is strange. Do you know what the popularity of this movie is? What? Right now on IMDB? Um, I, I mean, if I was guessing, I'd say it's a 6.7 out of 10. No, no, no. Um, I don't mean the... 60 metascore. Well, the fact that it's one, it's the 1,6501st, most... most popular movie right now on IMDB. That's because people know it's coming in a...
Starting point is 01:04:32 It's up 196. Do you think that's because of the commentary? I don't know. Isn't that crazy? Why would they watch it before? But I think a lot of... But also, like, why would that get clicked on? Hmm.
Starting point is 01:04:44 Why is that ranked so high? I don't know. What is the newfound interest in this movie, everyone? Dr. No is 725. Is there some sort of bond resurgence? Where they just re-airing? Oh, yes. Because they've just showed up on Netflix.
Starting point is 01:05:02 Oh. So then people are like, who'd at? That's right. All right. So if there was a man who seems to be written by the pretenders. And acknowledged by John Barry. Let's see if he had a hand in it, though. I think that the...
Starting point is 01:05:29 I love him still trying to play off the fact that the car is stock. Seems like they wrote it. And he just incorporated. into the score as every bond composer should do. Well, I think some come later than others, right? Yeah, but that's something they should guard against, you know? I understand quantum of solace had a problem, but... You understand it.
Starting point is 01:05:56 I understand it. You know, when I drive my fishing garage over ice... I drive my fishing garage over here. You did? Yeah. How many miles? Do you get on a single charge of your fishing garage? I get about 12 nautical miles.
Starting point is 01:06:20 What made the big explosion? Yeah, the fire. There's all those, that woods coated in creosote. Oh, no, he lost a, he lost a wheel mat. What possibly, what could he do? Yeah. I remember how this stuff was featured pretty heavily in the promotion of the film. The ice cutting.
Starting point is 01:06:42 Yeah. In a perfect circle. And the outrigger. I just realized that's like a painted backdrop. Not that. Oh, behind them in the, when they should go ice sinking. Yeah. Not that.
Starting point is 01:07:00 Oh. That's pretty much gone now. They must have done that when they... In studio. Yeah. At Pinewood. Yeah. A lot of AK-47s.
Starting point is 01:07:15 this is pretty cool. Rocket motor. So it's not just a rocket. This rocket is theoretically like powering some pistons. I mean, it's probably honestly just like a little nitrous oxide that's just heating up the getting the turbo to spin faster. And the exhaust is, uh, looks like a rocket. So Q decided for the dummies, for the dummy double O's, we'll just call it rocket.
Starting point is 01:07:48 By the way, that car was completely submerged in snow and then wasn't. Self-destruct. I don't even know why you put that button in there. That's sad. It is a, that's some good, that's some good, uh, bullet sound effect right there. And some good squibs. Snow squibs are pretty, they really get me going. Do you think that, uh, it's silly to just even look at?
Starting point is 01:08:23 This is, is this the most contentious part of this? film because it is, like, if you're trying to do a serious bond film, well, I think it's smart. I mean, it does... It does get the job done, right? Yeah. Also, these monkeys in the truck all recoiling the same way. Yeah, they're all bouncing.
Starting point is 01:08:46 That guy's really French fry on it right there. Oh, no. Totally, it's going to be so not good anymore. He doesn't really seem that sorry. Right. And which I think the KGB, former KGB guy, would have been more actually sorry. I think you're right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:05 Kostov? Yeah. No, not Koscov. The blonde guy. Necros? Yeah. Oh. We're just going to let you go by.
Starting point is 01:09:20 I mean, they really should have been declaring the cello. Probably built in Austria, I guess. So maybe you don't have to declare it. Yeah, that's true. It's just coming home. Oh, the tangier. my favorite casino in the movie casino. Let's see.
Starting point is 01:09:41 Practicality of living in a house like this. Well, the driveway is okay. Yeah, unless that is a private driveway. But it doesn't look like it. Street parking. So that's a problem. You have to think about that. What happens when a bird gets in front of that camera?
Starting point is 01:09:56 I think that all you're getting is a big white bird. Yep. Pigeon double take. I've always getting the pigeons in, isn't he? That is quite, A boat that looks almost like a stealth boat. That's Felix Lider out there. Jack's dad from Lost.
Starting point is 01:10:13 Oh my God, I forgot about... Yeah, this movie does have some... Jodon Baker. Stinker moments. What are you talking about? The guy has his own uniforms for his own fake military. But like, if they're even for a second trying to fool the audience, I mean, come on.
Starting point is 01:10:33 But Pushkin wasn't even looking at. looking at him. So that was all for himself. Oh my God. War. War. In a great. In a great. Oh, war. Look at war. That's my Heiler. I mean, Healer. So Broccoli was so enthralled by Joe Don Baker that he decided to recast him as the potentially new Felix Lider type character.
Starting point is 01:11:03 Wade Beckett. Must have been a hell of a backgammon player. Right? What is happening here? Also, American villains. Not the greatest bond villains. I agree. Maybe Zoran, but he's at least at one point kind of German, right? Well, he's a KGB baby, right?
Starting point is 01:11:21 He's a super, super baby. What other American villains are there? Well, Kamanga. Yeah. It's pretty American. No, he's from, uh, his alter ego is. What was his fake place? This fake island.
Starting point is 01:11:40 I don't know. I know I've talked about it before, but all those parts always bum me out because they're just from like... Don't you think he should have had, like, would have been a good nod, the moonwraker laser? Yeah, but those parts are from like 22 caliber little guns that I remember from the 80s and they were always used for like paintball parts like those little plastic stocks and everything. So Zoran, him... Who else was American?
Starting point is 01:12:10 Was anybody? Why does it matter? Why do I care? Well, Willard White was another decoy used by a bad guy. I have to give it to Bond the film's credit. They don't go that American. I think it's a mistake. That's part of the charm, I think.
Starting point is 01:12:34 Yeah. Is that they rarely do. Even this guy, Joe Don Baker here isn't set in America. Right. Do you like him better in this role or is Wade? I like him in both, honestly. I don't dislike Joe Don Baker. I don't either. I love him in Cape Fear.
Starting point is 01:13:03 I don't remember him. He's like the security expert they hire, the private investigative. Oh, yeah. And he ends up dead on the kitchen and a giant pool of blood that they all slip in. What's the series, his own movie series, that was on Mystery Science Theater? Oh, right. I forgot about that. We've talked about that. Boy, if we don't go over to that Ferris wheel at some point in this movie, we're wasting our time. I know. I know.
Starting point is 01:13:32 I got to go here. Look at how freaking magical this all looks. I know. I wouldn't have used it as a snow rudder. Oh, and a shield. But do you think the value of a Stradivarius would actually be increased if it had a bullet hole from like an international Cold War intrigue? I mean, that'd be pretty interesting. Oh, that's interesting.
Starting point is 01:14:10 I wouldn't repair that. She doesn't. She doesn't. That would be so awesome to have a Strativarius with a bullet hole in it. But what year to the bullet hole happened? 87. It's too recent. Can you do a 60s bullet hole?
Starting point is 01:14:26 Can you do a bullet hole? Can you do a black ball, black powder ball bullet hole? I think if I ever get a cello, I'm going to shoot it. We should really take a camera crew out to the range and shoot jellos. And sell them. That's like living daylights. cello replicas and put little stickers on the case. Let's see what a Strativarius cello goes for.
Starting point is 01:15:00 20 million. Jesus. How many Strativarius instruments are there? I don't know. Strativarius cello worth 20 million broken when it slipped off the table during a cello shoot, a photo shoot. A cello shoot? See, they were doing it too.
Starting point is 01:15:20 They were cello shooting. So if you're looking to enter the Strativarius market and you're hoping that I can get in there with a... What's like entry level stratadivarius? Yeah, what's an entry level strativari is going to cost? It's so amazing.
Starting point is 01:15:37 So there seem to be a lot of... One, two, three, four, five, six. Looks to be about 20... Strativari's built between 70 and 80 cellos. Oh. Which 63 are known to exist.
Starting point is 01:16:00 Wow. Okay, here's Necros' swimming party. All right, here we go. This is really what we've got to get into. Nacros, of course, uh, doesn't he throw a towel in someone's face or something? Probably to give the, like,
Starting point is 01:16:11 maybe he was worried they got something in their eye. No, he's not on the clock right now, so this is how we really know. You're sure he's not on the clock. I think he's on the clock. He's swimming. Some good acting right there. Is that his hat?
Starting point is 01:16:32 What do you mean? He just took it from that. Yeah. Oh. That's not nice. That's right. That's not nice. So it was Georgi who did that.
Starting point is 01:16:40 Neckros would never do that. Someone threw it. Rose of Mattel. All right. That gives us no info. That's a giant fucking lobster. Yeah. The way he's eating it too.
Starting point is 01:16:51 He's so angry at the lobster. God, who's the last time he had a good lobster? That's been a while. That's right. I always forget necros is the ho, ho, ho. Now I have a machine gang guy from Die Hard. Carl's brother.
Starting point is 01:17:10 How can you forget that? Why is this the scene that we get transced by? Currently mesmerized by Chess. Literally just saying that. That white is. Because it's so bizarre. I know. It's the people that we're seeing.
Starting point is 01:17:36 It's what's happening in the scene. It's the way Joe Don Baker is eating a lobster, tearing apart a 17-pound lobster. That's what they're all wearing, too. I mean, the abs on necrose? Yeah. Ah, finally. Abs and the jabs. Back to some classic opera.
Starting point is 01:17:55 Same opera house? I don't think so, because they're not in the Czech Republic or wherever that was. cubby's going to spring for another opera house. Just shoot this one. There's Saunders again. Boy, he's such a jealous agent. Look at him. He's such a little stalker.
Starting point is 01:18:20 He looks like Benedict Cumberbatch. Yeah, he does. Look at, Bond gives him a nod. He's so jealous. He's jealous that he's not Bond, and also that Bond isn't following the rules, because he, he, he, is obsessive anal type and has to follow the rules and he hates when people can be okay not following
Starting point is 01:18:43 the rules you know those types yes there is one playable strativarius guitar there's a guitar he made there are three known to exist how much is it it's owned by a private collector and it was built in 1697 jesus so would that have like the same fretting and would only have five strings of that at that time Really? I wonder if you've made any lefties. I'm sure. At 248 violence. Jeez.
Starting point is 01:19:22 Are there any Stradivarius Moog synthesizers? There's six. Okay. All using the right processor, too. Is he related to Cumberbatch? Like, it really is, like... Yeah, see what this guy's been in.
Starting point is 01:19:37 I'm happy to do it. Here, I love it. This is where they kind of become friends, right? This is where Saunders starts to see that, like, Bond's No, he is not yet, huh? I think that Which James Bond
Starting point is 01:20:04 He's best in a tuxedo. Oh, look, he makes the decision. And your life? Wait, if that is real, that is a lot for Bond to ask. He's probably got a wife and kids. Well, yeah, he has a life, God. Oh, my God. We finally get to see the Ferris wheel I was hoping to see.
Starting point is 01:20:27 I genuinely dread the fact that Saunders is going to die in this movie. it's distinctly because he's such a prick and then comes around to seeing because usually these bureaucratic types exist only as obstacles but the fact that he comes over to bond side poor saunders man poor one out for saunders saunders uh thomas wheatley i might have to choose him in the draft uh what has what has else he been in here Oh, that was terrifying. He's doing a lot of stuff with the World Shakespeare Company right now. Death at a Funeral. He plays The Reverend.
Starting point is 01:21:09 What is Death in a Funeral? A lot of English TV. That's a remake of... Three Men and a Baby. Seriously? That's a remake of it. No, just kidding. Death at a funeral, Frank Oz.
Starting point is 01:21:23 That's why you know it. Who wrote it? What is it? That's a remit. of some kind. Why can't I think of it? Dean Craig. I know that's like a classic film or something. Didn't they do an American version of the British one? I don't know. They did. Neal LaBoot.
Starting point is 01:21:50 That's it. Yeah. This is the American in 2010 they made one that started Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence and Keith David. and then the 2007 one was Matthew McFadden, Keeley Haas, Andy Newman, Peter Dinklage, Jane Asher, Alan Tudick, Dieter Pinklidge. Is that the last thing Frank Oz directed? What's the last thing Frank was directed? No, that's actor.
Starting point is 01:22:27 Boy, he's got a lot of acting. Credits just for being a voice. Muppet Guys Talking Documentary, an episode of leverage, and death of the funeral. This is uncomfortable seduction scene. Don't think, just let it happen. Here you are trapped up above the city. Yes, but you have that elephant. That is a freaky-looking elephant.
Starting point is 01:22:59 Necrow's choices of disguises are... He also chose the balloons. Because he's a friendly guy, and after work, he can give away the balloons. He really just wanted to... Neighborhood milkman, friendly... But what is this man with headphones walking around with that bouquet of balloons? Like, what is his cover?
Starting point is 01:23:20 I think he should have said yes. Want another ride? So he doesn't even get to... Saunders doesn't even get to engage with the bond on the situation. Yeah, he does. Yeah, he does. I really want a nighttime cafe coffee right now. Do you think, I wonder where this place is. I'd like to go to this place specifically.
Starting point is 01:23:49 See, here's the thing. Right now, he is, he is, he's not holding the balloons. Who kills people, who gets jacked by the pretenders to kill people? Like, why is that his inspiration music? He pretends to be a different job, each kill. So he's a pretender. Still, you think he'd be like listening to Megadeth or something. No, no, no, not Nacros.
Starting point is 01:24:10 He's too nice for that kind of thing. He just loves adult contemporary. He gets to choose. He gets to choose his music, not his targets. This is just a strengthling. I choose the music, not the targets. I'm going to do Fleetwood Mac with this one. And then read the Coolidge, old Bond song.
Starting point is 01:24:32 I go thumb petting in Hot Breakers. Because I break this guy's heart with bullet. Look at this friendly moment they have. No. Sorry, Matt. It's going to happen. I'm sorry. Oh, what a way to go.
Starting point is 01:24:51 Also, Necrows could have just shot him with that amount of commotion. Yes. They don't show his body. I feel like he really honestly, broken hip. He'd be fine. No, he's bisected. He's the black dahlia. Smirch beyond him.
Starting point is 01:25:14 So he just had the balloons as a mislead, so Bond would try to kill a child. just kidding we're Saunders look Hans Gruber see that sign Gruber the diehard connections are Legion I mean they might be the same universe yeah for sure
Starting point is 01:25:38 Alan Rickman should have been a bon villain man that would have been great you know I I feel like in the previous scene his shirt was not pleaded at the front and now it's pleaded boy is that a goof did I spot a goof We can't go back.
Starting point is 01:25:57 No, but I can scroll up and down for goof. Nope, no goofs. That place is Sweet Shop, go back to that? Sweet Shop, Warringerstraza, Vienna, Austria, huh? I'd like to go to Vienna. Me too.
Starting point is 01:26:12 I heard it waits for me. Hmm. A wise man from Long Island once said. He's a best. He's a best. So, here we are now in traditional Moritz. Morocco.
Starting point is 01:26:33 This is where, oops. Trade Conference Press. The movie loses me just a tiny bit here. I don't know why shifting. I'm not a big desert. Locals. Desert guy.
Starting point is 01:26:45 Well, that's because all desert looks the same. Yeah, it's boring and depressing. Unless you shoot it like. I like his look. Please leave. What's he in a citrian? What is that? I love this theme.
Starting point is 01:27:12 I like when Barry slow. down his main themes. I like a trade conference. Is that KKK person walking by, I think? No, just a ghost. I like the Mercedes logo on the headlights. Oh, it's another outy. I've never, this movie weirdly is making me very hungry.
Starting point is 01:27:39 I'm very hungry, too. Because there's a lot of food around the locale. Yeah, I didn't eat breakfast. Oh, Matt, why did you not eat breakfast? It's his wife of many years. You're thinking, oh my God, this is a mystery. Yeah. But it's not.
Starting point is 01:27:52 Because he's a good guy. That's not his mistress? Isn't it? No. I thought it wasn't. No, it's his mistress. Damn it. I want everyone to be good.
Starting point is 01:28:01 You do. It's the hotel of France. Helle de France. Maybe it's his sister. Is it his sister? Definitely his sister. You've carried it up the elevator. I will now hold it.
Starting point is 01:28:25 Do you think that guy was like, some business. Could I hold the things maybe and give it to him? Geez, no, I bet. I think John Ristavis is very high-mainance actor. He's like, you do this. My character would not. Now, what he needed, it was a guard in here. I brought two flowers, by the way. These were for you.
Starting point is 01:28:52 And some kind of basket. This basket has a bath bombs in it. Very big. And some milk. Lavender. Here's how hungry I am. the corner of this table right here, man, I thought it was a nice slice of pie. Starving. If you're listening right now, will you send us some food?
Starting point is 01:29:15 Please. Back in time. Is there a chance that it was a social call and that other double-o's come in to just say hi? Yeah, and do you think this was written for General Gogol? Yes. Did he die? I forget it or just wasn't up for it? He didn't want to do.
Starting point is 01:29:40 Really should have been him. You're absolutely right. It probably was. I want to do a podcast that features movies that were written for other characters, but had to get switched out like George Hamilton's part and Godfather 3 was supposed to be Robert Duval's Tom Hagan part. Deval was smart not to do it. Oh? It's not like he doesn't know about Russian beep-be-beeps.
Starting point is 01:30:17 I mean, this is just Dalton. PG, boobs, nipple, boobs. Yeah, PG. Full side boob. Boy, we missed the 80s. That was a rhombus butt. Remember? It was a classic 80s butt.
Starting point is 01:30:38 Yeah. It was the high-wasted pant line. I like a rhombus butt. Like an 80s butt. I really do. Men had it too. Well, men had trapezoid shoulders. Sure.
Starting point is 01:30:54 He's had rhombus butts. What do you think of a bon suit here? It's a little casual. But he's in Tangier. I know, but I just, I want, too many. too many buttons unbuttoned. That's true. He's got a good point there.
Starting point is 01:31:17 Talton is very fleming. Like he comes into the scene very angry. Then I must die. See, I told you I got this movie by memory. You nailed it. And if you didn't hit pause for one second, he came a little late. Yeah. Wait, so isn't that the same woman?
Starting point is 01:31:43 Yes, that's his mistress. No, that's his wife. Why would he be at this public event with his mistress? I don't know. Now Necros is working as a lighting tech. He would be very bad at mistressing. And now he's trying to discover the killer. That's right.
Starting point is 01:32:06 Who just did my job for me? Someone stole my job. He takes such pride in his job. I got a jacket like that. She was told or not told? I forget. She was not told. Right. And then she...
Starting point is 01:32:23 Why do I feel? like they wrap that storyline up, don't they? Yeah. Yeah. You see, she goes into the room with him. Yeah. This is where the famous, uh, magic carpet scene was shot, but edited out. Definitely a wise decision.
Starting point is 01:32:42 Classic. That's a classic rooftop bit right there. TV antennas. That was some overacting right there. What harem did he just pass? It's probably the courtyard of a Mary. it. He's everywhere and nowhere. That's what he's saying. I remember them in the documentary saying they had to go removed a bunch of like antennas from these roofs or something. Or what am I thinking of?
Starting point is 01:33:18 I don't know. Why would there be one then? Disregard that. Disregarding it. I mean, a little too soon I think we're going to get up. Yeah. I forgot about these two. Saxophone music. Talk about a marketplace. Look at how he pops his polo collar over that jacket. He just stole those sunglasses. That's not cool. You know who wouldn't steal the sunglasses? Necross, wasn't in his job.
Starting point is 01:33:59 Yeah, that's right. Unless his job was stealing sunglasses. Wait a minute. Those bullet holes are all high up and he'd popped all the three blood packs all the way down. Is that a goof? That's a major goof. that black girl's name is delis leiser who's almost lighter felix lighter oh delis leiser and katherine rabbit r a b e t t what a good way to spell rabbit speaking of lighter yeah this is not one of your better lighters no i think it's out of fluid
Starting point is 01:34:40 bad lighter that was a bad lighter joke i'm gonna go wait did i put bernie casey in the felixie in the felixie lighter choices for the draft? He's got to be in there. I mean, because he's a better lighter than nothing against this guy, but... It sounds like you really don't like this lighter. This guy just looks like he's like a trust-fund guy or something, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:35:08 Why do we immediately then recast Felix Lider for the next movie to go back to the old Felix Lider? Imagine how more impactful that would be if we had done. gone back to him for this one. Right. Or if this guy was in license to kill, you wouldn't really care if he got his legs torn off. Right.
Starting point is 01:35:32 Do you think that to audition for later, you have to just say a lot of things as American as you can? Yeah. Why aren't they doing shared intelligence like they should? I'm just saying. Yeah. Would save them a lot of confusing moments. And he's honest.
Starting point is 01:36:01 Is he not the happiest villain? Maybe... Yeah, because he's not? pretty happy to. He's not a villain though. He's like, that's the problem with this movie. He's a pawn in the
Starting point is 01:36:14 theoretical main villains scheme, which is Joe Don Baker. I don't know. See, this is one where you, they're both villains and somehow not the main villain. They're so ineffective.
Starting point is 01:36:26 Yeah. That's so ineffectual as villains. That is the main problem. The ending and the fact that you get no real wrap up for his character. I'd like to be on the beach right now with the seafood. tower in front of me. Just ready to go to town on some shrimps. I want a bean and cheese burrito and a margarita. Did you hear it? I was getting faster.
Starting point is 01:36:56 No, but I got an appraisal on the violin. It's worth $4 now. It's a cello, damn it. It's funny what scenes are grabbing a martini. No stir. Yeah, and who knows how long that's been prepared? Well, it's essentially probably just melted ice at this point. Yeah. The poison, drug.
Starting point is 01:37:34 What is that? Lle? Do you make me a Vesper? Well, this is where he's going to kill himself, right? Who's killing himself? What? Is it this or license to kill? I can't remember where he gets drugged and he pulls out a PBK
Starting point is 01:37:52 like he's going to shoot himself in the head rather than get drugged and go who knows where. You don't remember this? No. It's got to be a Dalton choice, too, where I feel like he's like, I think Bond would kill himself rather than get taken. Oh, this she is so wrong about this. You have no idea.
Starting point is 01:38:23 Yeah. This is it. Yeah. Bilydra. I knew I tasted it. Bitters. Shooters. Shooters.
Starting point is 01:38:49 See, watch. He was putting that to his head. No. Yes. I don't think so. I think he was aiming it at the nice guy. Well, he clearly was so nice and decided not to kill him. But his own head.
Starting point is 01:39:06 But he came down and it was when we cut away and cut back, it's forward. I think they cut early because they think they thought maybe this is a little too dark, but I'm virtually sure he was planning to kill himself. I'd listen to a commentary track about that. Certainly not this one, one that has actual information. Look on your little movie trivia. I don't think it's going to be in there because we're in the different scene. There it is.
Starting point is 01:39:30 In the scene in the hotel room, when Bond is drugged, he is absolutely intending to kill himself. Uh-huh, uh-huh. But then passes out. Oh, it says Matt Gorely is right, also the last sentence. Wow. Look at Miriam Diabo, go back, had previously screen tested for the role of Pola Ivanova and of U to a Kill. She must have been like 12. Barbara Broccoli remembered her audition and recommended her for the role of Kara.
Starting point is 01:39:56 Barbara must have been 12. Oh, yeah. Handle like eggs. Oh, it's gross. Look what a good-looking hospital team these people all make. I mean, they're just a gorgeous team of. Aryan hospital workers. That's a cool shot of that plane.
Starting point is 01:40:26 He's still listening to his headphone, man. Necros rocks. He's off the clock. Hey, buddy, how you doing? Barbara would have been 26 years old during the making of that. He just put his hand on his shoulder to see if he was comfortable. You may be right. Yeah, honestly.
Starting point is 01:40:42 I think he's genuinely just a sweetheart. Yeah. Bond is very... Well, he knows everything about butterflies. That's right. diamond I defy you to once you say
Starting point is 01:41:26 diamonds instead of diamonds to pronounce it any other way it's so much more fun to say diamond like a jaguar yeah jaguar diamonds diapose
Starting point is 01:41:36 no no necros did not smile at her they're all comfortable because he's starting to suspect he's starting to suspect so he's like georgiae is so friendly he's the real friendly one
Starting point is 01:42:04 I'd like to get your own Krabbe and Klaus Maria Brandauer in the same house, namely mine. Mm-hmm. And then what? Just to have cocktails. Just a nice off? Yeah. I do find this guy to be seemingly very friendly. Same with his interviews.
Starting point is 01:42:38 Claus Maria Brandauer scares me a little bit. That's right. It was such a good villain. Put it in your philosophy book. Duty has no sweethearts. That's a next. Xeros's motto. Yes, absolutely.
Starting point is 01:43:02 But when you're off duty... And leisure time has no enemies. When you're off duty, be a sweetheart. Leisure time has no enemies is better. Jesus Christ, there's 46 minutes of this movie left. How is that possible? This movie is so long. That is.
Starting point is 01:43:26 Well, now we're just getting to be... We're getting to the end of the second act. I guess, yeah. Kara? What do you think of an elbow length white glove? Who's wearing that? The two guys on either side here. Oh, yeah, that's weird.
Starting point is 01:43:59 Oh, I'm going to stretch it. Stretch! He's stretching everybody. How did she get his keys? She grabbed them from the overhead. So he didn't even really, he didn't really even care for her. What was this? They play a lot of pretenders.
Starting point is 01:44:35 My state is Alabama. Alabama. Salutes one person. All the extras don't care. This guy's pretty funny. Accent is that? Because he's certainly not doing Russian. What a long time. It's like Welsh? Yeah, Liverpool. Oh man, I bet there was a take where his hands got hit. What's this guy's story? I want to know if he's been in some other things. Ken Sharrock.
Starting point is 01:45:36 What a fun game. Yeah. So what do you want to know about Ken Shurak? Last thing he was in was a TV series called Grease Monkeys. He passed away in 2005 at the age of 54. Oh, gone too soon. He's a Liverpoolian. That's why he does sound like Ringo.
Starting point is 01:45:55 Yeah, it's just... Okay. Was he in East Enders? Yeah. Oh, not that many episodes. One, two, three, four episodes as Derek. This guy, he acted a lot. Mercyside, England.
Starting point is 01:46:28 What kind of administrative tasks are they doing in this jail cell that they need that little memo slip spike? How many chits is he processing? You know, I think that whenever a new prisoner comes in, he has to do a detailed report. Clearly. To send back to, I don't know, Oakland. Bond is just wearing top siders. I think I own that entire outfit. I got to put that together.
Starting point is 01:47:00 I do. I have that jacket. He's just wearing blue and beige. That's it. Do you have socks that are that just plain blue? Just blue socks? This reads is black to me. You're saying it's blue?
Starting point is 01:47:13 That navy? The shirt? Yeah. I think it's navy. I thought it was black. That's so weird. I'm going to wear this over on Monday. I can't wait.
Starting point is 01:47:23 For a big, our big Pierce Brosnan commentary extravaganza. He's just going to work at Blockbuster
Starting point is 01:47:30 Radio or Best Buy. Blockbuster Radio? Video. I think it's radio. I really like
Starting point is 01:47:42 I like Armallor. I do too. Look, I'm not going to buy that those two are soldiers because their pants are different.
Starting point is 01:47:54 Right. That's right. He's still he's still just walking around like he owns the place. Who,
Starting point is 01:48:08 Nekros? Yeah. I wish he was still in a doctor outfit. Those are those type of 80s jeans that are like almost royal blue. Yeah. Ranglers. No color known to nature. Tough skins, yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:24 Did you ever have tough skins jeans? No. I may have been before your time. Those were for kids because they were like meant to be durable. Like you could, you wouldn't, they had patches pre-built inside, I think. Nice. Yeah, like in the knees. Good God.
Starting point is 01:48:47 Now, really thinking about the economy of an edit, what is happening right now is so much fucking shoe leather. Yeah. This is the second time of little driving staircase is used in a bond film. At least. This is where Maturewitz got the idea for arrested development. Must have been. That is really funny. That their family cars.
Starting point is 01:49:11 It's the only bad left. I was just going to say, those look like people. You've never seen this movie. It feels like it happens. So many surprises for you. It feels like I haven't. Well, I'm excited to see how you think of the ending. Oh, look at those Arabian horses.
Starting point is 01:49:40 The music gets very, like, Lawrence of Arabia here, too. John Barry's so good. Man, just think if John Barry did, like, Casino Royale. Oh. There's no way that movie could have been better, though. I'm not taking anything away from David Arnold, but what year did John Barry die like 2011, I think? So, he could have done it. So, with plenty of time to have been able to do that movie.
Starting point is 01:50:13 And Quantum. I wonder if David Arnold would be back for Bond 25. Like some tree growth here? They're very excited to get him back. So he must have been a big celebrity in this village. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, Timothy Dalton, they all love Rocketeer.
Starting point is 01:50:38 They're all here for Timothy Dalton. And Flash Gordon. And Lion in Winter. Another great John Barry score. Speaking Afghan. That horse. These are some great horses. Yeah, there is a lot of shoe leather hair.
Starting point is 01:51:02 It's ridiculous. They showed the whole journey. It's ridiculous. We could have easily cut from the wake the scene to the... I don't mind it. I like it. To them attacking, to them catching him over the fence to this scene. It's more time we get to spend together, Matt.
Starting point is 01:51:19 No, I know, but I'm just trying to help the movie. Not us. I could use a full burrito, though. Oh, my God. I'm not, can I have time to eat. Dula's going to be coming over soon. Who's Dula? The Dula?
Starting point is 01:51:38 The Dula. Who's coming? Oh. our prenatal visit with our doula. I thought you're someone named Dula. You know familiar with my other podcast I do with a Dula? Dula Dula Dula Duda dola do. Me Dula, podcasta.
Starting point is 01:51:56 Oh, God. You know what? No one's listening at this point anyway. If you're listening at this point, why? Why? Why? Why? No, stick with us to the end.
Starting point is 01:52:05 We're all in this together. I love the first thing he does is get a beauty makeover. It's not a makeover, it's a bath and a shave. I miss movies where the Middle Easterners were our friends. I agree. Like Rambo 3, this. Like Rambo 3 and this. It's because the enemy of my enemy is my friend or the friend of my enemy is whatever.
Starting point is 01:52:35 But like the Mujahideen were all allies because they were fighting the Russians. So is that black or blue that shirt? It's one of those midnight blues. It's a great question. I think a midnight blue. is appropriate, but it looks black. There it looks black, but in the daylight, it looks blue. Which?
Starting point is 01:53:00 The living daylight. Well, then I think we have to go with whatever it looks like in the daylight, because this movie is the living daylights. Also, I want to be dressed like... Ladies gentlemen, it's a Navy. That's the most comfortable... That's not, he's not a villain. He's an ally.
Starting point is 01:53:16 Yeah, I know. Well, I just, but all the, like, the villains, too, like, the Bullfelds all get pretty comfortable clothes. Villains dressed for comfort. I think that's because there's like an evolved, they have an evolved sense of thinking. You know, they have an evolved way to live their life
Starting point is 01:53:33 by the time they get to yeah, by the time they get to super villain status. I think that's blue. I still have the collar popped. I'm, I'm, I'm yielding to you. I think it is blue also. I'm not sure myself.
Starting point is 01:53:49 And mostly, the reason why I think it is, is because I just don't see a tan brown black situation happening on James Bond. Right. But a tan brown blue, for sure. Yeah. Now his collar's back down. They put me in something very comfortable. James and beautiful.
Starting point is 01:54:08 Help me. Help me. James. Thank you. They want me to sleep on this bed. It's round. What if I roll off? I don't know which direction to base.
Starting point is 01:54:21 Definitely blue. Oh, it's bluer than your eyes here. Are your eyes blue? No, my eyes are beautiful. Chestnut brown. Chastnut brown. What color are your eyes? It depends on the mood.
Starting point is 01:54:38 Sometimes they go a little green. Oh, so they're hazelish? Yeah. I don't have any green. I have boring old browns. Chestnut browns. Rosewood brown. Mahogany, looking into my deep, rich mahogany's.
Starting point is 01:54:57 Do you think we'll ever have a brown-eyed bon? Oh, Connery, what am I saying? Well, I mean... See, another reason for me to love Connery. You're ignoring it because you hate him. I finally took my, uh, took the Thunderball poster to get framed, man. Very excited about it. Should be ready next week.
Starting point is 01:55:15 Speaking of Thunderball posters, mine's done and I keep uploading it, the one I'm doing the stunt spectacular. Yeah. And I keep denying it for copy. copyright infringement, but they're allowing the other two. Who's the they? Red bubble. So check Mattgoyle.com.
Starting point is 01:55:30 By the time this comes out, maybe it'll be ready. If not, I'll have to find some other vendor. A print place. There's all sorts of James Bond art on there. I don't know what the problem is. Can you get a hold of anyone to ask? Not really. I'm also like, I don't want to deal with it, but I got to get this done.
Starting point is 01:55:49 It's the final one. There's the beautiful shot right there. Why don't you just send it out? to the day for night with the sun in it. I know. It's so weird. Yeah, but that's amazing, though. It's like they put some kind of cool filter on it.
Starting point is 01:56:06 I think Bond looks really good in this outfit, too. It's very Lawrence of Arabia. Would you say, I would say this is John Glenn's best filmmaking, like cinematography. Yeah. It's a little bit more cinematic. This movie is any of his, maybe, maybe. maybe I don't know
Starting point is 01:56:27 Octopussy's got some nice little touches some great touches you know we're big Octopsy fans on this podcast that's right we are Necros surprisingly
Starting point is 01:56:37 tucks his jeans into his work that does not surprise me he tucks his shirt into his tight jeans he wants everything if if water were spraying from the ground up nothing can get in
Starting point is 01:56:53 that's his test yeah if he ever walks over a fountain one of those americana or like citywalk fountains that spurred up from the ground he's no fool he's nobody's fool what is james up to over here he's just looking for cocaine or heroin heroin yeah that's right that's when this all turns into a arms deal movie which is a little disappointing too when you're you've got your last cold war movie of the bond franchise granted they didn't know the Cold War was going to end, but you don't want to waste it on... Anytime heroin comes into the movies, it's a little disappointing. I don't want Bond involved in drug trafficking.
Starting point is 01:57:39 I like that it's worth half a billion in New York only. What are the drug movies? License to Kill? License to Kill, this one, Live and Let Die. Are there any others? Are any of the Brazen ones, a drug ones? No. No.
Starting point is 01:57:57 One is news. Oh, my God. Broadcast rights, bro. Are any of the Craig ones, drug ones? Water. There's water. Water is the... Commodity ones are never that good, although Goldfinger's kind of that.
Starting point is 01:58:12 But it's also, gold finger, really, the plot is like, I don't know. But I also like that that character's motivation is so clear. He just loves gold. Yeah. I mean, it's in the title. I mean, the song, He loves gold. It's really in there. That's where they were just like, we,
Starting point is 01:58:28 got one more line left of this song oh just to recap he loves gold but we already know that to put it in look at the gleam in that scale too it's gone now but that i mean as far as gleams go that was a pretty gleam well who's a cinematographer on this will you check i mean it's probably had they done any other bonds because there's something special going on in this movie all right let me pop back over here find out appreciate it i'm gonna see what i can do here Speaking of Maybomb, this is a Maybomb Michael G. Wilson-Sitch. Pretty good. They get a little over-complicated, but I want to go to this bond for Halloween.
Starting point is 01:59:14 So this is Alec Mills, was the DP here, who shot Jedi, Return of the Jedi. So you know his desert shooting is going to be top-notch. Spy Who Love Me, Moonraker. Moonraker, I see it in Moonraker, that forest scene, yeah. He's got very, like, diffused filter shots I like. He's got a very lengthy IMDB. Wow. There's a camera op.
Starting point is 01:59:44 Let me see. What's the latest stuff he's done? Oh, cinematographer. What was the other eyes? The girl on a cycle. Camera department was the other stuff. Living Daylights. So he did return of the Jedi.
Starting point is 01:59:58 Oh, so he didn't DP Moon Raker. He just was in the camera department. This one. Living Daylights DP. And he did Lionheart. Wait, he's uncredited on episode Star Wars. Whoa, whoa. You almost just called it episode six.
Starting point is 02:00:13 Like, so sort of weirdo. I apologize. I didn't finish the sentence. Thank God. Wait, so who, click on that and see who's credited. Let's see. I wonder what the story was there. Well, that seems like a story for another podcast.
Starting point is 02:00:31 Maybe he did like this special. features or whatever those, you know, like special edition bullshit. A lot of credits in there. Alec Hume. Alan Hume. Oh, Alan Hume. Huh. Who did Octopo C and Vue to a Kill and for your eyes on.
Starting point is 02:00:50 Very incestuous. What is going on? It's almost like if you went to Pinewood, you had to hire these four people. Yeah. All right. You get stage 17. With Alan. 14, 36.
Starting point is 02:01:02 You got Alec and Alan. All right. See you later. That's the guy. with the clipboard who's signing it. Maybe Stanley Kubrick will pop in.
Starting point is 02:01:09 Hard to say. He's working on a thing right now. He wants to shoot with natural light. But it's all indoors in a cave. It's not going to work
Starting point is 02:01:16 if you ask me. Pitch black the entire thing. Might drive the man crazy. Anyway, you can't have stage nine it just burned down. Tim Curry lit a fire. Cubby Broccoli's
Starting point is 02:01:27 rebuilding it in two days himself and making spaghetti for the entire construction crew. Sorry, construction crew That's right, I'm up north now Construction crew
Starting point is 02:01:43 You know nothing, John Snow You know nothing Castle Block John Snow All right Wildlings All right, you can have stage four No walk is in there, okay?
Starting point is 02:02:01 Medical supplies Clever That's really cool clever what how many medical supplies would be packaged that way well you know gauze bandages look at necros look at that he's all legs he's all legs he's tucked in he's tucked in you know who probably runs a pretty good 40-yard dash necros in those boots oh you know if you wear a boot long enough and it gets comfortable there's nothing better i've still like working on some boots that have never been comfortable really yeah you just got a you just got a
Starting point is 02:02:33 in and bear it. I have sensitive feet, I think. Like, I have toe claustrophobia. I buy my shoes, like, almost a full size larger, because I need to be able to wiggle my toes at all times. You should be able to. Can you, can you, those are not, those are not the boots you're talking about, right? No, these are, I love these because they're kind of like. Let me just give you a little tip. Yeah. You know, with my, uh, with all my, uh, crockett and Jones boots, uh, fine bootmaker of, uh, all of Daniel Craig's footwear and. a great partnership in Miami Vice.
Starting point is 02:03:08 I put in a Dr. Scholes. Just the regular Dr. Scholes. None of the fancy gel bullshit. Just the regular one. Doesn't make it more crowded in there? I need room. It doesn't make it more crowded.
Starting point is 02:03:24 I need my feet to think they're not wearing shoes. And order a size up, man. But yet I don't walk around barefooted a lot. How much of your daily life is spent barefoot? What percentage? I usually get up in the morning. If I haven't slept with socks on,
Starting point is 02:03:44 which maybe I do in the winter, but I'd say nine months out of the year, I don't wear socks to sleep. And then I'll put slippers on or socks in the morning, usually. As soon as you're up out of bed? Yeah. Like you've had a turndown service
Starting point is 02:03:56 and there's slippers right there? That's right. I bought some new all-bird slippers. Wow. I like them a lot. so you don't uh you never like walk out to uh to your car barefoot this is this is what it is uh we're at a point in the movie listen to every real commentary yeah and they get to a point also where they're doing this i go get the paper sometimes but i'll put my slippers on oh wow i thought
Starting point is 02:04:19 yeah i pictured you for a just a barefoot contessa just running around your house really and yard like a like a like a like a wild child of wittier you know no but it's also not like a cleanliness thing. I don't really care if my feet get dirty. There was some dongs in that shot right there. At least again, PG.
Starting point is 02:04:39 Shadow of Dongs. Dong shadow. I'm being followed by a dong shadow. Dong shadow. Dong shadow. Dong shadow. All right.
Starting point is 02:04:53 So here's the deal. Horses versus trucks. That's pretty awesome. RPG being fired side saddle like that? Sideways. Just a 90 degree RPG. shot. And he probably really shot that too.
Starting point is 02:05:07 Look, when you have the best horsemen in the business. Is there any more... They stole this and used it in Skyfall. What's the most 80s weapon? RPG, Uzi, or
Starting point is 02:05:19 Beretta. Pistol. Uzi. Think of the last time you saw an Uzi in anything. It's time to bring an Uzi back. And Mac 11s were big, too. Mac the Knife.
Starting point is 02:05:38 Yeah. He was big. You don't see Uzi's anymore. No, never. Why? Those were everything in the 80s. When I was in junior high, the third word out of everyone's mouth was Uzi,
Starting point is 02:05:51 including the teachers. I mean, we had like, you know, remember those Mech square guns? Yeah. Like, I mean, I just remember those Uzi style. Yeah. Is the Uzi just like, completely outlawed? Is it an automatic? You can you could get semi-auto Uzi's. But the ones we saw in the 80s were automatic, right?
Starting point is 02:06:15 Well, they were both, but if they had the long barrel, they were a semi-auto. Yeah. The short barrel, they were usually submachine guns. Well, I just, I don't know about the Uzi man. You don't need to look anything up. I'll tell you. It's an Israeli gun. I literally want to know why it is no longer in movies. I guess is it Passet, but I'm thinking we bring it back. It's going to seem real vintage and cool. also the name Uzi Man in Royal Tannenbaum's
Starting point is 02:06:44 The fact that one of Ben Stiller's kids Is named Uzi I love Ari and Uzi That is so good That isn't it hailed as the gun That won the like six-day war Or something like that Well it's right there
Starting point is 02:06:58 It won the six-day war Mm-hmm Look at the gun Has a list of wars it was in Like it's IMDB That's disgusting OZIN that milimita Uzi 9mm.
Starting point is 02:07:13 Oh, nice raw squibs there. Matt's reading up about the Uzi. The United States Secret Service used the Uzi as their standards of machine gun from the 60s until the early 90s. When it was phased out and replaced with the heckler cock on P5. I was going to say that's the diehard gun.
Starting point is 02:07:35 I bet that's what it was. When Reagan was shot, Secret Service Special Agent Robert Wanko pulled an Uzi out of a briefcase and covered the rear of the presidential livisine as it sped away. Who's keeping Uzi's in briefcases? The Secret Service.
Starting point is 02:07:56 Wow. Guys, I feel like we've had a lot of good talk about the Uzi. And this movie. But no, I mean, I think, honestly, I think because it was phased out by the United States in the early 90s, that's exactly why we haven't seen it anymore. Because, yeah, if the United States isn't using your gun, unless it's the AK-47, which is ubiquitous.
Starting point is 02:08:20 Yeah. I've got a replica Uzi. Secret Service from when I was a kid. Details used a chop down model. CAA bought 3,000 Usis. Used Uzi's?
Starting point is 02:08:34 No, sorry, 3,000 Uzzies in 1968. What about Uzo, the Greek liquor? They bought 400 of those? You know what? That's the kind of thing
Starting point is 02:08:48 I like from a commentary track. Uzo. What do you think of this 50-Cal truck-mounted thing he's firing at her? Love it. really should have just ripped through that fucking Jeep. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:09:04 It looks like she's just waving at him like, how are you? James, I brought the machine gun to you. I just learned that there's a Rambo 5 already shot and coming out this year. Yes. I'm thrilled. Are you really? Did you watch the last one? Oh yeah, it's awful.
Starting point is 02:09:27 I mean, it's truly awful, but I loved it. They're so melodramatic and hammer-handed and I can't wait. He's going to take on the Mexican drug cartel. Living down there in Arizona with his dad. Whoa. All right, now, she's got some good action here. I take it back. I mean, look at her.
Starting point is 02:09:53 She knows how to put a Jeep in park. She's not even, like, worried about it either. Although they still got her crying out, James. Look at these two. That should have been us. That should have been us. I know. If this movie was made now, that should be us.
Starting point is 02:10:13 Well, they're making one right now. Put us in it. Hello. We'll happily be your doofus pilots. We'll fly to wherever everyone. We'll be local hires. That's right. That was the death of Georgi 100%. And you're telling, that's a reshoot for sure. A thousand percent. They should have left him dead there, don't you think? Instead of that, like, we'll put him in a diplomatic bag. Yeah, this is a different airfield. This is a different day entirely.
Starting point is 02:10:39 Too bad. We should do a fan edit. There's so many movies I want to do fan edits on, but I don't have the, time or desire to be that kind of human being. Nor do you have the footage you would need to cut around. Well, this you just need to eliminate. Boy, do I want to do a Last Jedi fan edit. But I never would. A, I don't believe in messing with another man's work.
Starting point is 02:11:00 B, anybody I've ever met that does fan edits worries me. Tougher grace. Yes, in case in point. And just the fact that someone would ever associate fan edit with my name. You know what? That's a major piece-smerching. Here's what I'm going to say. If there's a fan edit of this commentary track where we're actually saying stuff the whole time,
Starting point is 02:11:24 that's a different story. But no offense to anybody who's ever done a fan edit, but if you're thinking of going forward and ever doing a fan at it, go volunteer. Rather than ever put something like a fan edit out in the world, go volunteer for something. Go do some good in the world. Help the Israeli military come up with a new Uzi design.
Starting point is 02:11:45 Uzi 2000 I gotta get on that And then we make a movie called Uzi 2000 Sounds like And it's just got scopes and lasers Uzi 2000 sounds like a A DJ that is spinning at the palms
Starting point is 02:12:06 Yes that you'd see a billboard We're right up here on Santa Monica There's that one intersection where Uzi 2000 Yeah only at the win there's that intersection here where every billboard is some Vegas DJ but they don't even tell you that you just have to no you have to pull the information together and it's always like razzle performing it yeah yeah um at the cosmo yeah i think it's like uh what it's it's it's
Starting point is 02:12:31 it's it's Lebraia yeah going north towards hot the hills yes yeah yeah i'm i'm sure that because i think people are like i think people are thinking of like oh when you when you go to Vegas, you're going to take the 101. So you're going to go that way. Yeah. That's right. And that's like the road people are taking to go to like that Vanderpump bar. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:12:50 And so it's that type of clientele. Now this, of course, is the world famous. We see what kind of a guy he is. Yeah. He's still on the clock. The sadness in his eyes. I love that model below them. You should see about purchasing it and hanging.
Starting point is 02:13:12 Like if you could cut it into like 8 by 10. parts and sell it. That'd be amazing. Oh man, look at all that great A. All that opium is just flying out. Pretty great stunt. Totally. With a minute and 11 seconds left of this, is she pull up now? And it's just full on pretenders music. This is amazing. Do you think the pretenders when they formed and you told them like one day your melody is going to be. all over a major bond climax fight. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 02:13:53 Yeah, I think they would have said that. I'm Chrissy Hyde. Don't cut the boot. No, the laces. My father makes boots. He'll be so sad. Like, why not the aha song here? I guess the pretenders one's more minor key.
Starting point is 02:14:11 He just clocked out and became a scared little human. What a weird thing to cut back to. Yeah. this is oh didn't the guy get hurt doing this didn't he almost slammed up against the no he let go right before he was going to bang his head on the thing oh how many movies we probably talked about this too but does the henchman outlive the villain like kind of you could make a case for it in that probably costcoff was supposed to be dead but like um jaws well yeah knick knack tabascoe give a dog a bone
Starting point is 02:14:55 um oh no the one that didn't go out the door is the one that's gonna blow up that's a good little tag to put on this sequence though come on that's good
Starting point is 02:15:10 thank god he knew how to turn off that particular model yeah where has everybody gone also what weird lyrics oh
Starting point is 02:15:24 I love that that one liner gets cut off by more dramatic action. I can't pull up. Not with one shoe off. I know. Extra. Extra bit of drama.
Starting point is 02:15:41 Boy, this action sequence goes right into the next one. That's pretty cool aerial shot there. Yeah. All the signal flare's going off around them. I put this one in the hat for one of the better-looking Bond films. You know, obviously Skyfall is probably one of the top. Uh, but this one's moonriker too. Look at that bridge.
Starting point is 02:16:03 Look at that miniature bridge. Oh, good squips. I like when you can see the little flashes. I know even though that's like, not how real life would be, but. Unless you're shooting an incendiary. That's right. Look at him. He goes back to get his, his brethren. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:16:28 That's that foreground miniature. That's incredible. Thank you. I spent a lot of time working out. Wow. when you were what like four five
Starting point is 02:16:38 that's funny that I went to see this in the theaters not only did I see this in theaters but this was the first bomb movie I saw without my parents like I went with my buddies yeah and you were just sitting there
Starting point is 02:16:51 drinking out of a bottle I was just a baby building foreground miniatures well you know when I first started using the Kinex set my parents were like this guy has a talent
Starting point is 02:17:04 for building a engineering structurally sound miniature objects. You're building foreground miniatures for your house. They got me over to Pinewood. On your own. They shipped me off. Pinewood or busts with a little bindle stiff. What a fun traveling baby.
Starting point is 02:17:25 You really live in life. I love that the Wikipedia page for the Uzi is still up and there's just a big picture of an Uzi. We're still here, by the way. way we both are hungry and tired. Yeah. What is this? Let's see here.
Starting point is 02:17:52 Sorry. How much longer? 11 minutes. It's a delicate balance here. Trying to schedule everything around. What do you got next year doing a Star Trek podcast today? No, we have the Dula coming. That's right.
Starting point is 02:18:13 Ben Dori and I have to record after that. Our second one of the day. I already recorded a podcast today. Recorded yesterday and the day before, too. Oh, yeah. Why is he yelling like that? And then turns back with no facial expression whatsoever. Quickly.
Starting point is 02:18:34 Hmm. Fasten your seat bounce, sir. Classic. Pretty good. Pretty good, son. Pretty good. He doesn't put a seatbelt on. This has some good set pieces, this film.
Starting point is 02:18:59 I mean, this whole last action sequence, it's pretty good. So why does it feel so anticlimactic when it gets to the, To fight with... Joe Don Baker? Yeah. What's his name in this? Joe Don Baker's name and this is not Killian. Killifer.
Starting point is 02:19:24 That's the next one. Pushkin's the name is... Oh. Oh. That makes me think... Read that. That makes me think that he... It was meant to be Gogolk, because they're saying Pushkin was based...
Starting point is 02:19:41 A reference to the poet like Gogol was the reference to the author. Hmm. There's your pigeon, your goddamn pigeon. More, some more day for night here. Matt's completely falling asleep. I'm dealing with stupid things. Oh. Brad too.
Starting point is 02:20:12 Brad is not a good name for a villain. Brad Whitaker. That's the worst villain name in all of Bond history. Brad Whitaker. It's the worst. This is, you just buy himself doing this. This whole scene is so dumb. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:20:27 in more ways than you think. This rivals the end of Die Hard 3 as a letdown for kind of like the villain confrontation. Oh, Die Hard 3 is so good. It is, but the ending is not good. Remember where you just, now I'm trying, because they have an alternate ending, the one where he puts the rocket launcher on the table. Oh, right.
Starting point is 02:20:53 But that's not how it ends, right? It is not. How does it end? I'm trying to remember. I haven't seen it in so long. Should we die hard again? Should we just do a die-hard podcast? I would love it.
Starting point is 02:21:03 Die-harding. But we do it all dressed as President Harding. We still have to do Indiana Jonesing. Yeah. We've still promised an Indiana Jonesing podcast. Ethan hunting. See, now I like that those two puns make sense. Star Warsing.
Starting point is 02:21:19 We need a better... Yeah. Star warring. Star warring in night. Afternoon delight. Uzi. Uzi! That's a mini Uzi! That is just going.
Starting point is 02:21:36 Did you see how fast that was firing? It was probably like 25,000 rounds a second. God, I hate this plexiglass proof gun. I don't ever want future tech in my Bond movies, you know? Even Moonwryker? Only Moonwarker. That one's grandfathered. What about Never Say Never Again the game they're playing?
Starting point is 02:21:55 All right. Yeah, those things are grandfathered it. The latest body armor. Brad Whitaker. This is like a stockbroker Oh, that's that squid when they shoot the like gel on plastic To make it look like shattered glass Shatter hand, shatter glass
Starting point is 02:22:22 Shatter gland Shatter gland I mean some good squibs in this but still And then the way that the Russians just roll in at the end That's asleep I'm asleep with the Russians that roll in at the end What I like He was delighted
Starting point is 02:22:58 Really? You think? so? He really liked that James Bond appreciated his gun. Oh no. Is there a Waterloo joke? Waterloo. What a John Rees' Davy's entrance. Get rid of the Oozie.
Starting point is 02:23:16 That little Scorpion Russian submachine gun, I've always loved that little guy. I don't love it, but you know what I mean. As far as movie guns go. Listen to how my voice is just kind of velvety. I'm the Velvet podcaster. Really trying to play it off here. Is he sad about Necros? Do you think he's going to find out in this scene?
Starting point is 02:23:43 Are you sad about necrose? That's the bigger question. Well, I don't think he's dead. Okay. I think he fell into a subterranean water. In his jacket? Into a subterranean water thing? In the desert, huh?
Starting point is 02:23:54 Yeah. You know how those caves? Subterranean, so he busted through the ground. Yeah, so like he hit sand, but it was actually just a very thin, I see. So that kind of broke his fall like... Solidified. Cardboard or plywood on a stunt fall.
Starting point is 02:24:06 Yeah. And they landed in a water. Maybe it's time for you to write some necros slash fiction, some further adventures, the erotic happenings of necros. It was a necrophiliac. Where my other necrophiliacs at? We're dead. No, no, we're fucking dead people.
Starting point is 02:24:24 That's what they do. Those guys, that could have been us too. There's John Barry. The two guys in the... poofter wigs. I don't think that's what you mean to say. You mean poofy wigs? There's John Barry.
Starting point is 02:24:43 I did not mean to say, you know, you're getting to a British brain set. You just start thinking of old British things. I mean, they could be, but... Yeah, sure. There's anything wrong with that? It looks like the musicians all have 80s drum pads in front of them. That's the only cameo.
Starting point is 02:25:02 of John Barry, right? Do you think John Barry, they shot, that was at his, the, M's Skyfall house was his house, right? His former house, yeah. But I think that was coincidence.
Starting point is 02:25:20 I mean, he just had good taste, I guess, huh? Yeah, you know he did. Excuse me, I'm, I'm the head of the British secret service that I'm gonna stand in front of all these cameras. Wait, there is General Goldwell. Oh, what?
Starting point is 02:25:33 I didn't even remember this. I couldn't, I had no memory. memory that he's in this. Wow. I also forgot about this, too. Maybe he was ailing and they, I don't know, maybe it was the same way they phase Q out. That's pretty funny.
Starting point is 02:26:00 Now, that's the kind of humor I like. You know, your movie's done. You don't have to take it as seriously anymore. General Gogo looks like Bob Woodward. Oh, yeah. I love his, I love his opera outfit. Who, General Gogo? No, art.
Starting point is 02:26:15 Cameron Shaw? Cameron. Cameron. I mean, she's really just disappointed that James isn't there. World Tour of Karamalovi. Wow, she is a big deal. I'd like that poster. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 02:26:29 Because people wouldn't know that that's what that is. Yeah, I want to put Bond art that you don't know is Bond art. Like, I have that Raiders of the Lost Ark print of the picture from the giant book about the arc. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And nobody knows it's from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Well, some people do. But this, or to have that Hildebrand rare, rare, plaque.
Starting point is 02:26:51 They're really going for it there. She is. That is a passionate kiss. Do you think that he drugged her martini? All's fair. Just to be like, gotcha. Brad Whitaker. I mean, look, Jeffrey Keene, playing the minister of defense, great job.
Starting point is 02:27:13 Tony Curtis, of course. Nope, it's Cyrus. Okay. Still, I wish. 202 and 004. I'm Tony Curtis, I'm part of the Mujahideen. Oh, I love it. I thought it's going to go out to being the greatest whole franchise ever was.
Starting point is 02:27:36 Wait, what franchise, sir? Horror franchise. Still don't know what you're saying. It's not... I still hope you're saying... Tony Cores. But your former wife was, you know, a scream queen herself. That's right.
