Matt and Matt and James Bonding Podcast. Welcome to the James Bonding Podcast. I'm Matt. I'm Matt as well. We decided we would follow up the Casino Real commentary with its spiritual partner and literal sequel. The way it was intended to be. Quantum of Sauce. That's right. No writer's strike here, everybody. No podcasting strike yet. You're getting a clean commentary track. You're getting a clean commentary track. No swears.

What? Fuck you. Hey, don't be an asshole. This is a divisive movie. Well, in that you can watch it on every device. That's right. Because everybody loves it. Maybe I only think it's divisive because most people are lukewarm at best in this movie where I, and I think you as well.

Well, it came upon our revisits. Although, I have to say, I even liked it in the theater. I was never quite a hater of this film. I think it didn't get put out in its. purest form, but I really do like this film a lot. Well, I remember leaving the theater and leaving it behind. I never, like, didn't, didn't, didn't dislike it. Like bond with the Algerian not?

Yeah, didn't dislike it, didn't love it. Really? And I just sort of walked away from it. And then I tried to remember the plot of it, like six years later. And I was like, I don't remember what happens in that movie. And I was like, oh my God, I've only seen it the one time in the theater. And usually when a Bond movies in the theater I'll see it three, four, five times.

You only saw this one time in the theater? I only saw it one time in the theater. I saw it many times, I think. It's also, it was coming only two years after Casino Royale. Which was, should have been our schedule. Yeah, and so I was still, because Casino Real, I was big into Bonn before that, but that one really put me over the edge. And this was still in that period.

And at this point, I was having people over once a week to watch all the Bond movies and have a cocktail from that. So you were just getting over your Brasnick from the franchise. Yeah. It's a break, but with Brasnan in the middle. I, as we've all discussed

many, many times, I, you know, fan of Brasnan, enjoyed what he brought to the table. As an adult, you know, I see what Matt might be saying here and there. But this was the return of Daniel

Craig. I saw him in Casino Royale. loved Casino Royale and was excited for this movie. Saw this movie and had such a lukewarm reaction to it that I had no strong feeling about it. I remember I was on a vacation in Hawaii when this came out and for whatever reason

I couldn't see it there. It was like the north of Hawaii and there wasn't a place to see it. And so I like, this is like the first time I had an iPhone too so I could read reviews and I'm just like, Jonesing to get back home and see this movie. And I think I saw it like two days after it came out, which felt so wrong.

Well, look, I'm going through something similar right now. I was, you know, Avengers Endgame, desperately wanting to see it. And I was hoping that this baby would stay in my wife for, he needed to stay in there for one more day. And he didn't do it. So you haven't seen it? I haven't seen it. I haven't either because I couldn't give a damn. I know.

I know. That's how you feel, Matt. Yeah. And your feelings are valid. No, they're not. My feelings are never valid. But, you know, I think what we figured out in this podcast, in the run of this podcast, was that watching this film, shortly after watching Casino Real, increases your enjoyment

of the film 10fold. Yeah. And I will even say some of its weaknesses somehow, to me, are also a bit of its strengths. So its weaknesses obviously were the writer's strike, the hasty, sketched. the hasty schedule and editing it. It's maybe not the finished version it was intended to be, but it gives you this power-packed version of a movie that, you know, for better or for worse,

is really streamlined and keeps moving and is kind of abstract in a way and makes you interpret some things a little differently, which for one Bond film out of soon to be 25, that's one thing I really like about it. It's very different than a lot of the Bond movies because there's, I don't know if it's an artistic thing about it or something that is different. I've said this before, I think, but I think this is, the palette, the visual palette of this film is aesthetically pleasing in a way that the other ones aren't. Yeah, and there's some trouble with the editing all right, but at least it's a little different.

My mother-in-law is talking very loudly in the background. She's on the phone. So if you hear anything bleeding through, it's Roberta Steinberg. send all your emails to her. If you're a student of hers over at BU or Ben, quite frankly, I'm sorry. Okay. It's 2008. It's 2008, but it's 2008. That's right. We're going to take a little bit of a break, possibly, if this is the free version.

Yeah, we'll be RB if you're still listening to us on dial-up. So that the commentary will be stream. I hate my stream. I don't hate your stuff. I'll be back. My son does not deserve me as a father. He needs somewhat better. He does this gorgeous little boy.

Yeah, BRB. Matt and. Mad and. Mad and. Hey guys. We have returned. My self-worth is now feeling better. Thank you, Matt, for that pep talk.

You got it, buddy. And now there's nothing left to say, but do what we normally do. And that's to have one lion roar of the MGM lion. One lion roar. Pause. Pause. Again, I like to say it all the time. lions have pause.

So here we go. We're going to hit it. We're going to pause it. And then Matt will count you in and we'll hit play again. And we'll all be in sync. And if you're listening to this in your vehicle or on a treadmill and you can't be synced up, we're going to do our best to visually describe everything that's happening in a way that is not at all helpful. Now, Matt, we started this last week with our commentaries two weeks ago with the casino rail.

I'd like to ask you Which scene do you think we are going to Lose all track of doing a commentary? I'd just sit there and watch it Yeah I think possibly the Mathis death scene That was what first popped into my head as well Or the airplane scene where that's exactly right

Yeah because that is exactly where I think it's going to happen I think it's once Mathis is called back into the field And we're on board that beautiful virgin first class. Yeah. Which I sat in on the way back from London. And I got to say, it was not nearly as exciting as the movie made it seem. Oh, wow.

Here we go, everybody. We're going to hit you in here, a lion roar. There's the roar. And pause. Okay. There's four of them. Get yourself set up. Get some popcorn.

Get your best girl or your best guy. Yeah. Your best loved one. I mean, how do you do this guys? Do you put headphones on and turn your teeth? TV on? How are you doing this? Well, I'll give you a recommendation. Turn out the lights. Leave a little bit of light for contrast. Tell everyone in your life that's not watching this movie with you to just go screw to the high hills because you're busy for a good hour and 50 minutes. That's right.

Well, actually, Matt, you're only busy for an hour 46. Well, take four minutes to weep at the end of what a beautiful experience this whole bond journey's been. All right. And Matt will count you in. He's going to say three, two, one play. You're going to hit play on play. And you'll hear the next Roar the Lion, and that means all as well. Fade it out. Three, two, one, play. Leave it up for just a second

because I love this beginning music, and this is David Arnold. It doesn't sound like anything else, but it's this kind of like cacophony, like a sonorous chacophony. It sounds like I'm watching a Ghostbusters picture. Oh, it does sound like that, but it's also kind of Hitchcockian.

Oh, sure. I just love the opening of this movie. This helicopter shot, it's kind of grainy. The excitement? This is pre-droned too, so... PD. I mean, everyone knows that in film, it's a PD-A-D. All right.

You can take that music down if you want. I can do it. I can do all sorts of things. Not only do they have a machine gun, it's a full machine gun. Like with the ammo belt. Yeah. Oh my God. The Aston Martin.

I love this car chase. It's, it's... Oh, listen to that. engine. You know, this, I forgot, too, the sound design of this is very, you know, it's almost heat-esque. Yeah. I mean, you'll be hard pressed to tell what the hell's going on, but that's not really

the point. Do you, I mean, I find this movie, I find this to be an easy follow. Not at first. The first time I was wondering how that door got ripped off. Ripped off. When you watch it a few times, it's all there, but you have to really keep. up. And then it goes quiet here. You know, that is something, that's a film technique trope that I honestly don't mind is action scenes

with little score. Yeah, it's very 70s. Moments of... That's brutal, too. My God. Just moments of just hearing what's happening. So now obviously this is a new DBS because he rolled the other one a record number of times. That's right.

he did. And Aston Martin didn't like it. They should have had a little like, you know how they have a, no animal was harmed in the making of this movie? Yeah. No Aston Martin was flipped without the aid of an air cannon. I think Daniel Craig maybe looks the best of any movie in this because he's a little bit more lean than Casino Royale. Really? Yeah. And I think it's honestly, I think it's my problem with this. This is his haircut is so different.

I don't like his haircut here, but by the time he gets to the hotel at the end and he's looking real Steve McQueenie. Yeah. Not, yeah, you know what I mean. Look at this quarry. How often do you get Bond in a quarry? Well, I mean, you got bond with Quarry and Corey Jr. That's true. Yeah.

He shares my rock brush. This is good. This is great. I mean, look at that. He just sees that and goes, my role more. next. See, I also like to think of people coming in on the heels of Casino Real. They haven't watched this full movie.

They're seeing this part for the first time, and they're going, oh, my God, we're back. Yeah. Maybe they're going to be a little disappointed, but still. I love the way that the cars get all dirty. This is the best car chase in a James Bond film. It really is. Like, it's almost no contest. And you know what I think the worst is?

What? Yeah, that car chase is nothing. And that, when he just shoots him off the edge like that? Yeah. Wow. You know what I like about this car chase is that we're seeing the aftermath of the damage to the vehicles. Yeah. Just like the man.

Yeah. And then you get these. That's beautiful, man. Kind of, thank you. That was really nice. These kind of thematic titles that accord with wherever you're going. Again. You don't get that.

Look at all the bullet holes. Again, visually. I love it. Yeah. Love this movie. Yeah. Music, tremendous music. I love that the, you can sort of hear.

the tire going and then there's a pause and Matt Goreley's favorite Bond music no no that is one thing I like these titles a lot but I don't like the song I like I'm a big Jack White face

I am not I am like actively I see not really a fan I see where you're coming from then yeah he seems like the most pretentious human being ever But if you actually watch him in an interview or read it him, he's humble. There's no way. He's humble.

Because I know for a fact that he was going to do Conan O'Brien's serious jibber-jabber show. Yeah. And that is a YouTube show shot digitally. And he said, I'll do it. But you have to agree to shoot on 35 millimeter film. Yeah. That is, that's tyranny. Hang on.

He's just a man who loves analog. Fine. And he's trying to bring it back best he can. And for his projects, that's great. But my God. Take a break. Jeffrey Wright. Boy, when will we see him again?

Oh. I think every time I watch this movie, I like it even a little bit more. I like sand more every time I watch this movie. Another tricky little gun giving silence to the one that will never see the sunshine. For your brother in the nick of the time. Everything about this movie was a little last minute, this song as well, I think. I mean, I didn't know you'd be ripping the song the whole movie, the whole film match so far. Property Master Barry Gibb.

Oh, he's your God. Here's your Walter. Exploding pain. Rebreather. Food nipple. Alligator submarine? Alligator submarine. You should have heard him on the set of Dye Another Day when he had to put everything out.

So I'm tired. Sword shoes? Oh, boy. That's a weird edit on the song there, too. Well. Actually, the radio mix of the song has a pretty cool bridge that they cut out of this. Well, they were probably just like, we could keep this bridge or spend $170,000 more dollars on more titles.

And they were like, they probably already had the titles before the song, too. Oh, you think so? Because the song was kind of a late thing because I think it was going to be Amy Winehouse, right? And they also had that beautiful David Arnold composition. No good about goodbye. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da. There he is. There's the Walther.

Yeah, that was another thing this movie did was bring back. the Walther, which we hadn't seen since, what? View to a kill? No, no, no. The Walther, he had the Walther in Golden Eye. But not a PBK, did he? Yeah. He did? And tomorrow never dies. He gets the P9. P90. What is it called? 99, I think. P99. P99. Walter P909. Yeah, I think that's what it is. I get it confused with guitar pickups that are called P90s. P90X. Oh, I like what you're saying.

ever do. Let's all get really ripped. Instead of this commentary, Matt and I are going to work out for an hour. There's Mitchell, that rat bastard. Ugh. I mean, what I'd like to know about Mitchell is he seemed to not have that much money coming in from this, right? When they check his accounts. Right.

What is he doing it for? He gives to charity. Oh, I see. I see. I see. Look at this. This is so fleming. He just guzzle a bourbon.

Oh, I love Yusuf. Is this the part where we just watch it? This is so it's already happened. It's not the same person. They know that, right? Yes, they do. Yeah. No, they don't.

You're one step ahead and behind. Yes. I love this chase, too, by the way. That's coming up here. I love how he takes that photo. Like, they couldn't email him. copy? No, he doesn't, they weren't going to give it to him.

They don't want him on the revenge mission. Well, look, I think revenge is a luxury we can't afford. And a dish best served cold. He's so lying to himself as he drinks and drinks and drinks. Is Mitchell, does that, was that guilt in Mitchell's eyes? There is a bit of nervous anticipation of, I think he knows some shit's about to go down. Now, as they often do, here in the Bond franchise, they go to events that are local...

When are they going to get the running of the bulls? Well, I think probably not anytime soon. I love the look on Mr. White's face when he's dragging that chair up, and he's just like, how is this going to go? Yeah. I agree with Mr. White, by the way. Wait a minute. If she hadn't killed herself, we would have had you, too.

Because they would have had her compromise and then used her to compromise him. good oh god you're already finding more to love about this movie always

I really really like Mr. White so do I old Jesby Christian release

in Brazil and Turkey with its original name since the proper translation could not be formed

of Quantum of Solis oh wow huh really they couldn't figure out how to say

like a small bit of relief or something like that yeah a little bit of comfort. Yeah, I guess that'd be a terrible.

You won't want to see that James Bond movie? I mean, frankly, it needs a translation in English, too. A little bit of comfort. Now, this editing is trouble, because you've, it does make you think M gets shot there. Doesn't she? No. I thought it, like, goes by her. And Mitchell, I think Mitchell deliberately didn't do it because he cares for her.

It would have been, he would have felt too guilty. What was that trivia up there that go up? It's gone. Oh, damn it. this chase is just fabulous and I say that as a person who doesn't like running and it absolutely doesn't need to be intercut with the paleo but I guess thematically it's just two studs running through the stud on the heel of another stud breaking down some wood studs just peep you know things you'd pay to fuck you know what I'm saying

To get to the rooftops. You know what else I like about the Daniel Craig tenure or run? What? Is the abuse bond physically takes? Yeah. Yep. I'm with you. Seems to really be...

This is brutal here where Mitchell's just shooting into the crowd. Well, that's not a man who's guilty about what he's doing. Yeah. You know, if he did that at a snake-mongoose fight, it would have cleared the crowd. Yeah, that's right. He looks kind of like that guy, Mitchell. Oh, yeah, yeah. Do you think Mitchell was a stuntman that they just heard?

That's Mike Wilson's cameo right there, Michael G. Wilson, play the old lady. No, he's Mitchell. Do you think Mitchell's a stunt man who was an actor? Who decided to act? I don't know. I mean, the eyes were that of an actor to me. Yeah. It could be a multi multi hyphenate, you know.

But most of his role is... He's like, I'm a triple threat. I sing, I do stunts, and I act. Brutal. I mean, that's part of it, right? This is part of the fucking abuse that his body takes. It's so good. It's crazy.

This hurts. All this hurts. He's like slamming into concrete. Yeah. A human would be out for weeks after just this. Yeah. He'd take at least a three-day weekend. Maybe a half day on Friday.

Yeah Oh, I remember this from the game It doesn't even think Jumping onto the school bus Oh yeah Yeah I play that game all the way through to the end That was the reason I got a PlayStation 3

I don't look I don't blame me It's about the only time of my life That I've played video games That weren't like Eight bit Side scrolling Yeah Look at him ready to go

Just ready to shoot Love it And he also serves the purpose of notifying the town. Yeah, you notify the town that it's Prince Spaghetti Day. And it also covers your footsteps. That's a practical stunt. This is amazing.

God, this is such a great way to start a movie. Yeah. It's like, here's the car chase. Also, by the way, that would hit the camera casing and they kept a shot in. Oh. I, uh. Now, it could use a re-edit to be a little clearer, but I would keep this kind of pace in it. Oh, I don't know, Matt.

I think this is like so just fabulous. I think what you're missing is, you're missing one wide shot. Yeah, exactly. Just to tell where everything is. But it's also a shot that is not totally possible to get in this, because this seems like a practical space. Oh. It's so good. It's abusive.

Are you crazy if you don't like this film? I think you're crazy We wanted to question him Not kill him I want this This movie It's unquestionable This movie's the new

Honor Majesty Secret Service What? That's a grand statement I think it's I love this The Walter, get the Walter Steady himself

I look at it It's just cold dead Steely blue eyes I mean If you This movie also Has a very high Occurrence of

Alpha Romeo's your alpha Romeo occurrences may vary. Oh, no. He looks like he was allergic to the meds we were giving him. Whoopsie. What if he said that? Will it be better or worse? Interesting electric guitar in James Bond.

You don't get a lot of that. Well, I know you do in the theme. Well, that's actually acoustic. What do you think about that? It's an archtop. It's an archtop with a pickup. You don't get mad. Okay.

But I mean, that feels... Played by Vic Flick. Yeah. I really... You know, I love a British black range rover situation. Yeah. Government car. I just don't think he smoked.

It's actually the funniest thing he's ever said. I love this line too. She's talking about this in just in front of forensics people. No, no, no. Each of those forensics are MI6, double-o agents. I'm sure. But if she's learning... In forensics.

Anything. There are double agents everywhere. Generously. Hmm. Oh, Rory. Enjoy the hair while you have it. Story of my life. This guy was in Casino Real.

He was. I think he's the guy that died. Oh. Not in the movie in real life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Traditional film characters, Q, Money Pending did not appear. Barbara Rockley said, Casino Reale, the book,

there was no Money Pony or Q, and that's why they're not in the story. handed in this follow-up, the place to see the reason to place them. You love all the smart stuff. I do. I like the smart desks. I really do. I do too.

I like how it ties into the opening titles font. Don't care about that personally. Oh. But I love how they did the DVD menu. Yeah, that's right. They did. And the video game, too. Yes.

Impress me. I love it. Yeah, I like it too. I love it. I think even their technology in this movie is. going to age well. You know why? Because it's got its own graphic interface. It's original. That's why. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, you know, the L-Car is on Star Trek.

This movie's been in four countries and it's only 30 seconds in. I mean, if you want to bang for your buck of countries per second, look no further than Quantosiles. Yeah. That sign that said Hotel Desaline or whatever feels like it's one of those superimposed titles because... Oh, right, right, right. This looks a lot like Le Médiccan. Yeah. And this man, this is brutal. I mean, if you're going to wear khakis to a knife fight. Those are like white pants.

Oh, there we go. He's in. The old credit card trick. Do you think that was a sharper image credit car with a... Wasn't that a knife? I think he used a knife. No, I thought it was using a sharper image credit card with a bunch of keys on it. View to a kill.

Yeah, that's right. Oh, man. English was like the fourth language on that emergency list. they are in an exotic location. It is, by the way, I have to agree with, I have to agree with M in this movie. Yeah. Bond is not good at his job.

He's killing everybody. I know, yeah. Hell, he's good at that part of it. Oh, he's good at the fighting. Yeah. But again, no music, hearing each hit, hearing each stab, and I think it works. This is one of the best fights.

And I mean, like, by best, I mean, like, most believable gruesome fights. Yeah, man. It hits the artery right there, drains him. Bleeds him out and won't look him in the eye. He's looking around to make sure no one sees. I think also, but he just doesn't want to watch the man die. Oh, I don't think he cares about that.

He's James Bond. And that's Anthony Michael Hall. That's right. Tune in next week. God, that was gruesome. Maybe people don't like this movie as much because it's not as much a Bond movie as it is its own kind of gritty 70s spy movie. You're giving it, I think, a little more intention than it was made with.

Possibly. I don't know. There's Michael. This is your clearly inspired by the born movies. Yeah, which themselves were inspired by the 70s. Look, there he is. There's our boy. Oh, I didn't.

You know what? I've never seen him. Are you kidding? That's one of the most obvious ones. No, the most obvious is the last movie where he gets arrested. That's true. Although, what if he's the same character? he got out he worked a deal where he got sent to uh what if he's the same character in every

movie i'm amazed and enjoy i want to follow that thread i like her a lot too separine no no cemoreen camille camille i believe i picked camille for my fantasy draft by the way isn't that funny you and i did the worst on that old draft oh i never saw the results And he walked away with it. She cleared, I mean, cleaned house. And Pierce Brousin of it all probably did it. It was no, Timothy Dalton and Felix Lighter, buddy cop kind of thing. Oh, sure.

She had, who wouldn't watch that? Just shy of 50% of the total vote. And then Taryn was second. Yeah. And then Blades. And then Yumi and Shannon were, I think, all at like 7%. Well, that's funny. Yeah.

That's funny. We're the hosts of this show. And we're a generous host. We like our guests to do well. I mean, I just didn't think to do a cross-genre thing. It's amazing. It's a good idea. But this movie did?

This is a geological survey report, Matt, if I remember correctly. That's right. It's blank. That's funny. I know. That's very funny. I like how he giggles at it. I think someone wants to keep it.

Oh, good clothesline coming. This movie just doesn't want. Wait. Nor should it. That's a big-ass, uh, PDA. Sony-Vio PDA. Now, Emma's married. Correct.

What's Tanner's life like? Like, he's just got to be on call for her at all times? No, he's just, you know, during work hours, he's on, you know. He probably has, he probably works seven to seven. Do you think he has a ring? Let's see if he's married. I can't wait to figure this out. Yeah, I want to know.

Tanner's a little speech for Bonnet. 25, he talks about his middle name. I forget what it is. What do you mean? He's just the guy, Rory Keneer, is talking to camera and he's just spitballing details about Tanner because I think there are none. Oh, that's funny. That's funny.

That's very funny. Tanner is the closest thing Bond has to a friend. Well, I buy it, him and Felix. What if Felix and Tanner go out into the field with Bond. Yeah. Come on. That'd be good. I love this.

whose idea was it for him to just be randomly stamping receipt tape? He's a madman. Also, look at the eyes with Rami Malik and Matthew Almorik. Who wins the eye one? What if he's like, you killed my father? You killed my older brother, and we used to have staring contests, and they would last for six years. The only time it would end is when one of us would sneeze. Why does he give her that?

He's going to wrap it around her like a little scarf, pull her in for kiss. Yeah. He's very charming when he wants to be. I like him as an actor a lot. He's good in Munich. I mean, let's talk about Elvis. Oh, yeah. Anatole Taubman.

Wait, what? Fourth French actor to play a leading Bond villain. Michael Lonsdale, who plays his dad in Munich as Drax and Moonraker, Louis Jordan is Khan, and Sophie. Marceau and the world is not enough. Look at Elvis was back there fixing his toupee. Did you see it? Oh, yeah. That's some good background acting right there.

We're also going to see the best, one of the best extras in all time, and that is the guy sweeping six inches above the ground. That's pretty cool. What does he mean? Like a golf iron? I think a, like a clothes iron. Oh, oh, I see. I see.

I believe that floating geologist prop is at the Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. I think I saw it there. What a weird thing to have. Also, why not just put a person in there? 60, we can get you, you can hire a stunt player for about $1,500 for the day, or I could build you a latex puppet for $8,000 for $63,000. And then you'll have a museum piece. General Midrano

It's funny where this guy shows up Joaquin Cozio I think is his name He was in Eastbound and down And then all over Narcos the last season But he always kind of plays a comedic character In those I think he's hilarious in this

Yeah It's a cute jacket Yeah Great sunglasses Like he doesn't want sun coming in The side of his face right? Universal exports There's the sweeper

Green Planet Pay attention to what To phone numbers And you can do a list for me This is the same we're watching This is like the last time Bond went tropical

Bond Goes tropical I mean it's only been two movies Yeah But ten Two non-tropical trips 11 years I mean, look at the size of his glasses, arms.

I like him. That's out of control. I like those. You could sell advertising on the sides of the same. That's where the finished script could have been written. I'm going to get glasses and just start selling billboards on the sides. Sure. And you can do all this for me?

You want what? Yes, I will concede this is the least diabolical plan in Bonn. history. If we control the utilities, we control everything. We choose what we want to charge for water and power. Anything we want. 60 cents, 73 cents. Kilo watt hours out the window.

We charge kilowatt minutes. Look at that proto Dave Batista back there. Proto Beast. Proto beast. That guy in the far back, the proto. David Batista looks like Frank from American Pickers on the history channel. I haven't seen it, but I think I know what you're talking about. Right now, he's looking at those barrels going like, those are great barrels.

I could use them. I know a couple people who would be interested in those hanging them as decorative items. I'll give you a 15 bucks for the tip. Way to not play it cool general. I know. Oh, right. He wanted to be a day. Yeah.

All right. He's going to broom. That sweeping guy is probably by now touching the ground with the broom. And now we have a boat chase. We've done car chase. We've done foot chase. Foot chase. We've done rooftop chase.

We've done horses chasing other horses. We've done hotel balcony knife fight. We are now doing dirt bike. On to boat, followed by explosions. I mean, if a movie gives you more, you find it, because I can't. That's right. I mean, he knows how to turn this thing on. He doesn't need a small boy to show him how to turn on the fuel line.

He doesn't have to throw anyone overboard. Oh, come on. This James Bond does that. Yeah. You know what I mean? He does before he thinks. Yeah. Just like, I'm going to hit that boat and then figure out where to go from there.

That's kind of his fault. She would have gotten him right there. Yep. Would that have ended everything? Yes. The movie would have been solved right there. Yeah, essentially. Because then he would have had, they wouldn't have gotten in there.

I mean, would they know anything about quantum? Maybe not. Yeah, I don't think so. Wait, where did he know the name, Dominic? Oh, yeah. it from the briefing. Yeah. Again,

the sound design of this movie is terrific because we're getting ourselves a like I like how much louder the actual practical sound effects are. I mean, they're not practical, they're probably all done with a Foley situation. But I like how much louder they are

than the score. I remember when they're shooting this because this is one of the few things that kind of had some leaked footage when he was training and I think they shot this in Panama. Uh, I like Panama. You know.

He's back. Of the Hagar's and the Learoth's. Yeah. Panama. Yeah, sure. I can't believe he's going to hit our boat. Our airboat. He's going to pop our boat.

This looks refreshing. As summer is upon us. It's a dreary day out here in L.A. Yeah, it is. So we're going to. Enjoy the sun. The fun in the sun with James Bond and Camille. You know, I'm off to Thailand for a wedding and I'm going to the James Bond Islands

and I'm going to shout at the top of my lungs, knick-knack, Tabasco! I'll record a report. You should yell knick-knack and hopefully someone else yells back Tabasco. Oh boy, physics. Kind of. now it's silent because you know that's the kind of we need boat silence yeah hi hello that's what he looked like right there he's got a cut on his face and I don't think it's gonna heal anytime soon

she's knocked out how long does this movie take place over the course of would you say about 40 minutes a week and a half maybe yeah I mean at the most right I don't know. Let's see. I would say we're already at... We're just... Next day they're in London. The next day he's...

We're two days in the tops, right? I think it's three days total so far. Look, at least he cares. This is the height of sociopath, Daniel Craig. Well, I mean, he's hot off the presses of getting his balls hit a lot. He just steals a motorbike? He's stolen two bikes, a boat, a car already. Look.

if you're going to leave your Ford Bronco out you've got to expect James Bond to take it Yeah and This is of course home of the indigenous roof dogs You know People say go there for the roof dogs Yeah I say Go for the hotel signs

Stay for the roof dogs Right that's right Um I love this Is this like a temporary office of M's do you think? it's the permanent one that then they have to move away from and go down in the subways or whatever. Oh, so you think that in Skyfall, the wall that explodes is that wall? Yeah, good question.

Okay, I'll buy it. There's no windows. You killed them. Large tracks of land for preserves. Yep, that's him weird eyes. That's pretty good for 2008 Haiti cell service. Well, they're operating on their own secret network. Right. I love that.

I forgot about this, this whole connecting to Langley. Yeah. And you got David Harbor here, which I wish they'd bring him back too. Well, he got fired. I know, but still, as a bad guy or something. I love, I love the Jeffrey Wright's. I love this. Tanner, smarten up, Tanner.

That's why Tanner never gets to go on. home and see his family. I don't know. Because it keeps saying stupid things like that to M. Tanner, how long have you been here? I've been here for seven years. This is ridiculous. How do you not know this by now? I don't know. I was just supposed to be, like, get refreshments and stuff, and you've just kept me by your side. I never wanted this job. But if I kill them all, eventually I killed the bad guy, right? Did you see, when she said that, Tanner gave a little smirk like Good one, M. These two, really.

I think this is the height of their, um, their, uh, domestic partnership, Tanner and M. Yep. Now,

what was that guy watching on us? You know what it looked like to me? It looked like help. The movie help. Oh, really? It looked like some kind of like telenovela or something. The way,

you know, when you're an actor and you can captivate us by putting sugar cubes in your fucking coffee. Yep. That's saying something. God. And here's, this is when I knew David Harbor was enjoyable,

the way he laughed at the pilot's turbulence. Yeah. How can you? Just like, so that, so perfectly that guy. And he also, did you see that hit of the nose he just did?

Yeah. It's like, you know, he's playing a coked up South American Bureau Chief. I think so. Look at that mustache, too. It's on natural.

That's how Tanner. That's where Tanner would be if he was better at, listening. Right. Yeah. This is the American Tanner who's now in charge of South America. That's right.

I love, I love, I love, I love, how fucking Jeffrey Wright got his seatbelt on. He didn't care about the turbulence. He had a seatbelt on.

Really interesting stuff happening. Yeah. Look at, Elvis has a heart-shaped belt buckle. Wouldn't you? I do. If you know who that is, say who that is.

That is the, The lean-in slash turn... He's just taking his time. It's amazing. Howie could have missed what? What did he miss? Wow. He doesn't know James Bond very well.

He really doesn't. I mean, because, quite frankly, it's been a problem for... Yeah. To this point, 19 villains. Mm-hmm. 21? 22? What is this? 22.

This is 22. 2. 3.4. 21. Sky falls 3. 24 is Spector. Oh, yeah. Good line.

I'm on the team I play first base I love I love movie lighting for interiors of cars I know I know can you move that little cursor

I yes I do I do I do sorry that's okay Matt's a screen Matt's a visual was obscured by I would say

I mean The smallest arrow possible But it just kept pointing at eyes and noses Well, it was like, look here, look here. Yeah. Now, of course, everyone knows that at a real V.

Von Giagami Pacino. Uh-huh. Sure. Sure. I follow. You always want to sit. Yeah. In the opera boxes.

I remember the first time I saw this, I had to pee really bad here, so I ran to the restroom. And I came back and I was like, how the hell did he get a tux? Because it happens so quickly. No. you didn't just put one in one together well i figured he beat someone up for it but james bond has been taking people's clothes for decades that's right always finding the right fit you know he sized that guy up and he was like yeah that's about me i love his eyes like oh no they're not going to believe this

check it out free phones swag there's someone crustables in here. It's Fierre-Ber-Angelly. Excuse me, uncrustablis. It's the French. Perfectly tailored. Yeah. So some people, some people get the unders. So those two women are in on it.

That's Guy Haynes, right? Sure. So that's the guy that would have been in the deleted scene at the end. He's a man with gift bag. Oh, maybe he's not Guy Haynes. He's the guy he takes the gift back from. There's a gift bag girl. Yeah.

man with gift bag. Okay, so he's not guy hands. Patrons who attend the, uh, the, brigands opera are usually dressed casually. Thanks, IMDB trivia. Unless at a day between the boat chase and the party in Austria, Bonn suffers three large cuts on his forehead from the boat chase. In Austria, there are no signs of these cuts.

Hmm. Oh my God, that is a goof. Neosporan. That's a goof. Fast actin to nactin. I mean, that's the only way. I love that. It's one thing that he busts it off, but then he just throws it and makes noise.

By the way, not a ton of downtime so far, and we're 45 minutes into the movie. For Bond or for the audience? For the audience. Yeah, I know. I mean, the opera audience right now, a lot of downtime. A lot of downtime. Let's be honest. Opera's pretty weird because you never know what they're saying.

look at sweet little he loves it he loves it he loves his performance that look back oh my god it makes me sad when he dies first time i've ever seen that look is he the most harmless henchman that there is um in bond he's also the main henchman right he's got to be the most harmless lovable well he does he's successful at nothing yeah whereas every other main henchman at least kill is an ally of Bond. Right. What if every deleted scene was Elvis being awesome at his job? He's really good at like clerical work.

We're actually sitting. That's Guy Haynes, right? That makes sense because he's working on it. Who's the Canadian? Does that mean, I think that means the woman that Yusef is currently. Oh, yeah. think it does too. See, you catch little things.

I love this. Well, he's in it, he's in it, he's in it, he's in it, he's in it, he's in it. Then there's one poor innocent person that really had to pee that got wrapped up in this international espionage. I love it. I love it. Meanwhile, Tanner's in M's office in the dark. Yeah. Wishing he had a social life.

See, that's what you do. Thank you for being smart about it, Mr. White. Oh no those footsteps are clattering closer That guy was just supposed to hit a lighting cue How does he know that guy's a bad guy? That guy's just supposed to hit a lighting cue Is she with him or? That's his wife

You think? I think that's Madeline Swan's mom You think? I've decided I guess we do know that I've just decided Or no, didn't he say that she left him? I don't know

Maybe she left him after this Like the next day I want to know That's a good question Is it just a patron he doesn't know His wife, his mistress his girlfriend. Although I figure someone like Mr. White would probably go to this alone.

Eyes on eyes. And you have the, you know, the wonder of the opera shootings. This is very godfather this scene. Yeah. Well, especially now with the silence. And just the opera playing and the intercutting. Brian De Palma. Baby carriage going down in the Untouchables.

Yeah. I bet if you know the opera that's being performed, this scene is even more enjoyable. Yeah. Like the symbolism. Right. Whatever else is happening. The fact, the Bond knew that that was flammable. Um, you got me.

That means you, Elvis. You're a toupee. This is pretty crazy. Now, so he's not dead. I love it. He's looking at me. And then Rucker Hauer gets out of the car. They should know that that wasn't Bond because it's like a 50 Cal.

Oh, look at. Oh, yes. M's bathroom. She is about to, she's about to take a bath. In a living room. Unlike, I'm talking, this is like a Red Dead Redemption Valentine Hotel Bath.

That thing's incredible. I want a bathroom like that. Can you imagine? It's just a bathroom. up like that. Just floating in a carpeted room? I mean, look, seems like a good idea until it overflows. Right. Then you got to replace the carpet. Yeah, but that's a risk worth to... You gotta go to a water abatement company? I'm putting on my face mask. Again, weird that he doesn't say anything. I know. About who that was. I didn't kill him. Check the caliber.

gun. Also, they know that he killed him like this quickly. This has happened 40 seconds ago. No. He's in his tuxedo at the place. Is he or is he at the airport? He's going to the airport, but I thought he was on the phone at in the tuxedo. I think he's at the airport. All right. I'll buy it because he's at the airport right now. I like this, this move is a great move too. Yeah. Oh yeah He still got it ladies and gentlemen Come on charm What if she just answers

He go to Cairo Oh here we go Hello is this Cairo Now if you're gonna wear a sweater You gotta do it on a boat In the sun Off the Italian coast Mathis has got it good

And Yeah but he doesn't Because he misses the field Yeah I know but man he misses the field who doesn't miss the field I miss strawberry field she's dead

nope no still alive not yet it's very funny this is a buddy comedy I'd watch also yeah the dialogue's pretty good here too

uh agrees those are the uh... Tom Ford Maco's those sunglasses I like Mathis's sunglasses. Sure.

Hang on a second. I've got a problem, Matt. What? This movie takes place right after. Oh, I guess we don't know how long between the end of him and him with Vesper and him going to find white. That period of time could be weeks or months. Well, no, it's supposed to be that. No, no.

So like from him trying to give her CPR and she dies. Yeah. To him then going, getting a new suit. and going over, that could be weeks, right? I suppose. That's the only way to make this timeline work because he's been tortured, found innocent, and Bada Villa in three days.

Yeah. Good point. Right. So I'll put that time jump between those two things. Okay. All right. Now, it still makes sense. Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it, okay? Okay. Yeah, lots. To your death. I knew it would be Mathis that shut us up. Yeah, we just didn't know which part of it. Mathis where he's so watchable um I had a bond get see that wine chug yeah how did bond get money for

new clothes on a trip I guess he drove to Italy well he's also James Bond so first of all as we discover in diner the day he has personal accounts at many hotels right well it is the scene we thought we would really be watching his hair's sad here yeah there's the little like he's sad I can't possibly. You want a sleeping bee. Everybody there heard that. La Paz Bolivia. That's a great title too.

What? Fields being sent there. Is that M basically saying, like, do the least amount possible so he'll keep going? Because it's the, like, smallest deterrent. It's either that or send someone attractive, and he'll listen. Now, oh, this is the water shortage. We're getting a little bit of plur. plot trickled out of the taxi here. That's right. There's so much reading happening here.

I know. That guy in the foreground being led away with a shirt off. I never noticed that. So, this just won't do for Bond. What were the, what was it, beach in Casino Rail? Arlington Beach. This hotel. There's a much nicer hotel. Look at this. I mean, come on. If you're gonna. Go to a fancy hotel. Why not? Jeez, Louise.

Where'd the cash come from? Right. Through the keys. He just threw the keys. He likes throwing shit. He really does. Yeah. I like this room because it has a stage.

I love this line too. Boy, oh boy. You don't see fade transitions very often anymore. I know. It dissolves. Oh. So... See, I think his body looks better here than Casino Roy off.

Look, he's a hunk. Yeah, any way you slice it. He's just leaner here. He's a little almost too jacked in casino rail. Do you think that if you plant that invitation, it will grow flowers? Yeah. It's an eco party. That's right.

I mean, why not? They have those, right? Yeah. They have seeds in them, yeah. I think that if Green really cared about the environment. That's right. And, you know, it will force people to use water he's charging a lot for. Yeah.

You get some on both ends. That's right. Does she go to the party? Yeah, she does. Yeah. Oh, he's got a cue. The little quantum pin. They sell those.

Who's the they? Isn't it 007.com? So it's like a, it's officially licensed Q? Uh-huh. That's amazing. That's amazing. I know I should get one. They also have dove cufflinks like from four-year-old-old-old-way.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Only for you. Now, look, this building, not in great shape. No. Look at that pocket square. That's crazy. That's not a pocket square. That's a pocket rectangle.

It's a pocket parachute. It's a pocket full-scale world map. I know. More Mathis. He's last night on Earth. He has to spend it here. Boy, Bond just bought tragedy into his life. Yeah.

Time and time again. Ed McMahon, Camero. Michael Gorbachev. Michael Gross. Now this is a jacket I like. Look at this. Look at this whole back pattern here. Yeah.

The collar. Look at this background acting by Elvis. He's like in love. Whoa. What's her move there? To out him. I see. Oh, no.

So the quantum, okay, is, who heads the quantum? No one knows, right? I mean, Mr. White is certainly. So are we supposed to like, are we supposed to end this movie? Are we supposed to be thinking that green is sort of the head of quantum? No. No. But he's doing a lot of the wheeling and the dealing. On this project, I think it's almost kind of like a board.

I don't know that. Okay. Well, I think they were probably heading towards Blofeldt basically is. Well, don't wreck on it for me. Come on, man. Don't pull a, don't pull a San Mendez. Well, I think they were heading that way anyway because this was meant to be specter. Which I think is actually a much, it's a great, it's a better thing.

I agree. I agree. So his thing, his plan is, his main thing is real estate deals. He's buying up... Okay, but he bought what she said. Like, he bought this land, sold it to a logging company. And the logging company cut down the trees.

He's selling rights to things like logging and oil just as a side thing to make money. what they're really doing is buying up land with water. Okay. To control the resource. Okay. So they're just trying to get the money to control water on the entire planet's water. Well, yeah, the ecological thing is a subterfusion. Right.

But like, I guess what I'm saying is, is this any sillier than broadcast rights in China for 100 years? No, it's way less silly. It's not a crazy plot. It's like, it's also more realistic. It's not exciting. It's not sexy, but it's... He's like Nestle. Generally holds up.

He's like Nestle buying up all the water. Yeah. Kraft. I am Nisley. Dominic Nisley. Oh, poor Elvis. I know. Poor Elvis.

Was that supposed to be David Harbour's hand, do you think? What? Was that David Harbor who ate the hors d'oe? Oh, I don't know. I like to think that it was. Felix is pretty glum. He is very sad. because of his friend.

I think he misses his friend. This is kind of bonds fo'pa. What? Leaving fields. Yeah. Although, I mean, I guess he doesn't really care. So, Mathis is in the back. Mathis in the front.

Let me hear you grunt. So your... Mathis' friends are actually Mr. Green's friends. Because they wanted to give that police chief, shows up at the hotel later. Yeah. Do you think they got a report? Do they think they know what they're doing?

Yeah. Or do you think they were just looking for a car with that license plate because I went over the radio? I think they know because they haven't been at that party that long. You think they're dirty cops too. Oh, definitely. Mathis. Why would you?

Oh, he was moving. Human shield. Oof. You rarely see Bond just execute someone. Well, you do that to Mathis. You got to fucking, you get something to answer. Mathis's death might be the hardest since Tracy. Or a besper.

No, no, no. I don't count her. Why? She was double-crossing him. Triple-crossing him. She's the money. My real one is Frank. What could...

Do we forgive each other? I love it. What could he possibly have to be forgiven for? Mathis. Um, I think he feels like he didn't do his due diligence in finding, in figuring out that Vesper herself was connected. I think that's what he's feeling here. You know, again, maybe it's a couple lines of dialogue. They didn't get to write because they struck. Yeah. What do you think his real name is? Um, Philippa. Philipa. So are we friends?

Why would he put him in the dumpster? Because the other bodies are just staying out there. That's a great question. And I still don't have an answer for that. Oh, it's a good shot, though. Although maybe it's just like his commentary on his own existence and how he is disposable as well. Yeah.

We're driving into the third act. It's crazy. Hi. What, Tanner? Why can't you come in here? I'm right here. I don't know. We don't get to the third act until the hotel.

Yeah, basically. Once we see Indiana Jones. Once we see strawberry fields covered in oil. Yeah, cover that up. Yeah, button it up. I think when you're renting a plane, they don't care how bloody you might be. Sometimes it helps. So they're doing this just to survey the land.

Right. I always bugged me that they had a geological survey done of. Well, just also that bond can just fly. this plane. You don't think that Bond can fly this plane? We've seen him fly in 800 movies. Well, not Daniel Craig's version. Oh, you don't think Daniel Craig's version. You don't think in the Navy he was ever a pilot for the Navy? Well, I feel like I have no choice but to believe that. There you go, man. Yeah. That's it. He flew Harrier jets. I just remember loving it in Temple of Doom when Willie goes, can you fly? And he goes, no, can you? Because you just expect your action stars.

to be able to fly, but always bugged me. And then in Lesker said, fly yes, land, no. Yeah, yeah.

M does mean mother. Mm-hmm. It's like a little, it's a hole, it's a hole in the earth. For my cover. I love him. Wait,

why didn't you finish that sentence? White rook to white knight. This segment, I guess, for some reason, doesn't grab me as much as the other ones. I don't know why. You know, in a way it's like,

perfunctory or something. Or obligatory. And I don't mind seeing Bond overmatched, but when it's like fighter jet versus two prop prop plane, it's just kind of like, come on, guys. Yeah, and it gets a little CG. What are we doing?

The smoke at the end always looks kind of fake. No, this is all practical I decided just now. Well, and most of it is. but this looks great too yeah i mean just like visually the part of it's the locations they got to go to and the red sand and the blue sky i don't think you did because you're a big big plane in the middle of nowhere's so i like the old stick on that plane too yeah the old steering wheel oh my god he's like flying like maverick on that mig yeah that smoke looks fake like an entire movie dedicated to this guy, the greatest pilot in Bolivia.

The only pilot. This fucking Bolivian hero. The Bolivian Po Damran. How do you know he's the best pilot? Well, it was said so in the dialogue. Okay. Felisa da beeps. Felisa da beeps.

I love it. Let's just land on this plane. This scene would capture us. close he's very close well he was the best pilot boy that got him what was his fuel right I mean look

I don't know I'm just thinking maybe I get on the plane and put the shoot on yeah especially when I know there's 900 people after me right yep there's only one shoot oh I should have used a helicopter

that's what he was just thinking well this is quite a stunt spectacular moment I know. You know? That's what this guy gets for selling them out. He loses his plane. He gets a land roller, but still.

I know. That's the most James Bond's ever yelled. Yeah. Really pushing it. Really? I love it. All right. This I like.

This I like. The last 40 seconds of this scene. So great. Get it up into a stall. It's pretty good of her to wait for him. I should have. Maybe she's like, I didn't know how to do this. This is crazy that they're underground and still falling.

well oh oh poor guy i mean if you're going to have back problems you don't want to be a double yeah you know he doesn't have a ring well i think he's playing the field you might be you might be hearing henry crying in the background that's funny i thought that was in the movie for a second he has a baby in the back in his bookcase i mean if you're gonna if you're gonna if you're gonna more birds eye maple in one place, I can't, I can't help you. What do you mean? I miss it. That's all, isn't that all bird's eye maple? Oh, the wood? Yeah. Oh, gosh.

I mean, it's just everywhere. Or is that curly maple? You're a wood guy. I don't know. Look, yeah, I don't know what that is. It's maple for sure, but good God. There's so much of it. This guy, every meeting he has, he goes to the window at some point. Yeah, oh, yeah. No doubt. Oh, that's interesting.

Who is to say? Because earlier she thought that, you know, and then Mitchell was turned. Yeah. You know. It's cold under the world. Maybe that guy's turned. No. Why don't you?

Here's an idea. What if you turned the parachute into some sort of outfit? Ah. And invented parachute pants. I'm like wondering if anyone is dealing with that. Do you need to go check? I have to assume that my wife is, but I'll be right back. Okay.

handle this. All right. Tell them all about underground. Well, underground. A stalagite holds on tighter. It might fall. A stalag might, if it gets big enough, grow to reach the ceiling. All right, listener, I guess it's just you and me.

Time to get personal. I was born a Gemini, and I've since become a Capricorn. I had jaundice when I was born. so I only got to breastfeed for a week. That's a true story. Well, it looks, she's even Camille's confessing right now. You know what, listener, take a second and confess something to us, Camille and me and Bond.

That's all right. Tell us your darkest secret. We can't even hear it. So it might feel good to get something off your chest right now. A lie, a secret shame, an embarrassing moment. Just something to vent it out. Won't that be nice? Camille did it.

I did it. I said I had jaundice when I was born. I think that means I was a yellow baby. Yeah, Vesper. Well, it'll be inspector, because the author of all the pain. Turns out it was Blofeld, my brother. What were you doing down there all this time? I hope at this point you've watched it long enough and you're like, yeah, I like this movie too.

And then we start this whole new movement where Quantum of Solis gets the respect it's due. do. And I'd say maybe, you know, casino around Skyfall or Herald is the two really good crags, but I'd put this in the good category as well. And maybe Spector's not quite, but I would put it closer to those two than to Spector, and that may be shocking to some of you guys. And I apologize. But I'm also covering for this commentary all alone right now. Look at that big, refreshing pool of water. God, I love swimming. Do you love swimming? I'm not huge into athletics, but I love just swimming. I think I'm a water baby.

Well, we know I was a jaundice baby. So how those things connect, I don't know. You get to see some of the life and culture of the indigenous peoples of Bolivia in the high desert. They found their way up pretty quickly. I've said this before, but the poster of the two of them walking was the same as date night and the TV show Chuck. And if you dig far back enough in my Instagram,

you can find the comparison and the posters are almost identical. Oh, boy. There he is. Dad's back. Crisis averted. Henry's eating. Oh, good. He's doing okay? I'm a screaming bloody murder because he's a child. Who only knows how to do that.

When you're two weeks old. Compare this to the other desert scene in a James Bond movie. Of course, I'm thinking about the crater inspector. Right. Obviously, better dressed for that. Who's Bond? Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, this one, he's just been through hell here. That's right. So who's leaving this message? Run. That's Fields? Yes. So how did she get that? I think she knew she was being tailed.

probably or something like that interesting hi oh busted mommy's home she's sweating this guy and she he just listens she just listens to him when she says she's not let him go okay now do you think dominic green had seen the movie gold thing when he decided to do this yes I think he'd heard about it in this world the connery bond still exists yeah why do you send her to You know a most dangerous person on the planet. Yeah, pretty much. So, what do you say? Dinner.

Do you think that's Hershey's chocolate they poured on her? No, I think it's a water-based, like paint. Two dissolves. I mean, these two guys are not getting out of that elevator. No, this is pretty badass. Yeah. Oh, three guys. Oh, James Bond.

I love this. I love this like walk in chat. He does. He's so deadpan. He's an emotionless robot, which is why he threw his friend in a dumpster. That's true. It's like watching the Terminator, but it's Terminator 2, and he's good. What's 10?

Oh, Tanger is leading to him to him. He's very good. I'm going to go talk to him. I've sent my third best man. Also, Mom, I'm having the birth of my baby. happening back I don't give a shit. Gideon. I said Gideon.

I didn't realize that was a callback. Or was the first one a call forward? The guy moving is safe? Dealing a safe. Again, this David Harbor character is great. Yeah. What an unlikable prick. I know.

But done beautifully. Yeah. it's a good line um again mustache quality through the roof yeah um cigar smokeability i mean i'm giving i'm giving a jeffrey red a 12 on a one to 10 yeah that's fair bond's got his jacket that he stole from the guy he killed still he first got there yeah felix won't look anybody in the eye it's so funny each other in the eye in the next movie. Good question. You don't have time to fight, guys. Come on.

I mean, just get on the same page and be friends, okay? Yeah. I don't think so either, Felix. Do you think that they, this is the 25th conversation they've had? Or do you think this is the fourth conversation they've ever had? That's a good question because in this new one, he's coming at him like, like we're old pals. Yeah, but he does mention him in Spector.

Yeah. sends to my friend Felix later. I think between this and Skyfall, he's done a fair amount of missions. Well, you know how I feel about that. I know. I do. So many missions, man. I'm talking.

Everything from Octopus to see him to die another day. We never once got to see one of them. We never will. Because, of course, when we pick up on 25, someday they'll see G. He's in sabbatical. Daniel Craig Bond mission. Why'd you tell him?

What happened? Little kids paying on it. Underrated character, I think. Von Films. He's like Oberhauser. God damn it. The badge guy. Diamond Diamond's are forever.

The real guy? Klaus Hurgashimer? He's the Klaus Hurgersheimer of Daniel Craig. It's funny. My wife's like, would you ever want to go to South America? I'd go to stay at that hotel in the high desert of Chile. Because it's an astronomy hotel or something. I mean, look, you're talking about light pollution?

Well, they ain't gotten on. Boy, oh, boy, the self... It's Rob Stark's queen. I don't watch Game of Thrones, so I'm going to guess that's what you're referencing. Yes. Okay. Boy, I mean, she factors very heavily into a pivotal moment of Game of Thrones. Well, you know what should factor into our lives?

Every pair of sunglasses this crew has had on. Do you think that Madrano's hat turns into a soft English cap? I do. I do. She had it shipped in pieces? What's happening here? She's just cleaning it, I think. Oh, slides cut.

This film answers all its own questions. I love it. This film, there's no questions. This film doesn't answer. I love the way he's dressed. So maybe it's the most perfectly written film of all time. Yeah. here's my advice don't look them in the eye and stab them in the leg real hard

fire on empty lung good snakes you know which is appropriate because she is sneaking around yeah this is cool too high just hops in yeah um she would actually be very good for him to settle down with i agree because she's a spy she's kind of had to go through some of this dark stuff they would understand each other yep and yet they don't even barely kiss from my friend Mathis. Well, I like that, though. I do like that about this. I like, um... I do too, but I kind of want him to go back to Camille. But I want him to like, I want him to also have like a friendship that goes beyond friendship

that isn't with Felix. Yeah. Tanner. And I feel like she'd be Tanner. Tanner and her. Look at that turtle neck. No, that's a neck brace. Oh, that's right. That's right. But he's got a fashion neck brace. He forgot it. He got it from Camille, tripping him down the stairs. No Fields did it. Oh, fuck me. Do you like my tooth? It's gold. Or so.

But euros are pretty cool. You can use them everywhere but England. I love how they're so dastardly this organization, but they desperately need a signature. I know. And he's eating an apple. We are so underhanded. Yeah. But honestly, we're so underhanded.

can't do anything until this is signed. I know, just forge it. Yes, we are the bad guys now. A official. I know the rights I pay my own water bill. Big, big Christmas bonuses. That's what gets on the sign. We're talking huge edible arrangements.

Those big candy cans. The ones that you're like, that can't possibly be a real candy can. And you get it and it is. it's very heavy. A little Bluetooth speaker for you. Sometimes, waterproof as well. Perhaps I can interest you in some noise canceling headphones.

iPod Nano. And also a 50% discount on water. You get a little quantum pin. I guess it's all here. Thanks so much. See you later. We did it, Elvis. They're about to like celebrate with each other.

High fives. Their job is done. That guy, I forgot that that guy is also here in the army uniform. Yeah. Tiny Batista. Orsa. Orso. Fat Batista.

Venti Batista. That's what I call him. Oh, I never put it together. That was the waitress. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, that's so nice that he says that. I know.

Well, this is cool, too. Oh, it's great. Are you kidding me? Classic bond, sidearm and his pistol. It does always seem like this hotel's made of foam rubber, though, the way everything flies off. It really feels like they shouldn't have built it with so many explosive things. Yeah. But I guess it is a hydrogen.

What's the secret to this hotel? Well, it runs on dynamite. Let me tell you, it's seven times cheaper than electricity. So much cheaper to have running gasoline instead of water. look at this is that's so funny holly's weird he's not surprised no would you be

oh elvis i think he made it though i think he made it no way i think he's definitely alive no what if he showed up in the next one with half a face yeah he does seem like he shows up with the neck brace and then he's got no hair he's burned somehow his toupee is responsible for letting him live.

I forgot. I always forget what a maniac green fights like. I love it. I'm sure I mentioned this, but I read something where he's like, because I was a little guy, I wanted to scream terribly like someone like that would just to use whatever was at their disposal. Yeah. Makes sense.

I like, uh, I really like the way he does it because I hate him so much, just as a character. Oof. Everyone is getting so brutalized in this film. Who gets an axe in the foot? He does. And then a little gantry cam. You know, the gantry cam is one of my favorite camera usage. This little detail.

Oh, that's good, too. They're all, it's like, the way that everyone in this movie gets physically just pounded. Yeah. Here it is. Oh, he doesn't do himself. I never saw that coming in and it is so good. And then holds him by the hair. And then he tries to grab him by the balls.

Wouldn't you? I guess so. Oh, and so she. Speaking of. This thematic. That's some good editing right there. See, that's weird. He doesn't know she's there.

That is weird. Must have been an edit. Yeah. He's still screaming. What a perfect weasel. Green. Yeah. Now, his death by self-oil, self-lubrication, I love too, where it's sort of, you could call it anti-climactic, like general Costco and living daylights, but this one feels better to me.

Like, I don't know, I really like it because of how vindictive and brutal it is. Yeah, you too. And I like that he did this, he is such a weasel, that he did get to the point where he decided I could drink oil. Yeah. just a little I mean it's gonna be better than no water right and also like

the whole like deprive him of water you know like he was gonna do it that's right see it's thematically consistent oh my god and then when Bond sold his backyard to loggers he just needed a signature

I just need you to sign here oh right and then he's gonna kill him both yeah like a good friend like a good more than friends Like a good neighbor State Farm will execute you If you're about to burn in a big astronomy hotel

In the Chile in my desert You When you're Going to kill yourself Make sure you do it It's a two for one Oh Well now that was kind of a bad movie

Because the last thing she wanted to do is die by fire And that Could have theoretically killed her the way she did. Well, to him, there's two different things. There's fire and explosion. He doesn't see explosions as being fire. I see. He's James Bond. That's right. He does explosions all the time. I wonder if it's like in his dossier that he's like, the way I don't want to go. Yeah. Is fire? Why is Dominic just running out into the open desert? You'd think there'd be a parking lot with cars around there. In fact, I think we saw that.

Well, there is below, you know. But there was... But the gate came down. And he doesn't have the key. He probably gave the keys to Elvis. yeah yeah although it is funny like james bond finds the car right exactly hi seems like the perfect guy to give up everything about quantum i want to know all those things he knows mm can of tennis balls we should we should we should get that oil yeah that oil so 20 miles at least they drove out 21 miles.

Yeah. 21 miles out. Enough to have a conversation with him about quantum. So tell me a little bit about quantum. Of course, that character is played by Tom Hanks in a motion capture seat. The Ared Express. Part of the Christmas bonuses for everyone.

Green Corp. Oh, that cars run on hydrogen, too. Careful you don't shoot it. You're welcome. We're friends, right? Let's see what? goes on here. Wait, now he's got the same forehead cuts.

Maybe this edit was, maybe the whole story was shifted around. No. He isn't, he's in this jacket again. Do you know what I mean? Like maybe the edit, maybe in editing,

they fucking, no. I don't know if you guys could tell, but I was, I removed my hands around. Like I was moving things around. Like I was operating a desk at MI6. But the count.

Who prisons in your head? This is great. She's the first one to be like, you're so fucked in the head that there's no helping you. Yeah. See you later. I thought I was messed up. To dolels.

I'm in love with Dominic Green. My lover just died. That's what she was going to say on the plane. What country does she work for? Does she work for Bolivia? Yeah. I feel like she could have helped that whole. Takeover not happen.

I know. I forgot that that one was written in snow. This is the lady from bones. Whoa. Dashnell? Oh, Emily Dashnell? No. I forget her name is Stana.

Catic. Oh, Yusif. Hi, you know me, right? He would, right? I think so. Though we're watching the scene. Yeah. Check your seals.

You know, in Canada. They have a lot of seals to check. That's right. Harbour seals, too. Listen for the thank you. I, um... Listen. I love that.

I love that. I, uh, it's my least favorite jacket in the history of movies. I know. His? Yeah, that's pretty. His, like, leather, condor flight jacket. Like, what is he doing? Yeah.

Double-breasted, right? It seems like it. I like that she was kind of cool with it, too. She was going to, yeah. Can you believe it? the second part does I didn't shoot him okay I'm gonna admit something after this one that's done

oh my god I can't believe it's gonna happen I never realized something except for the middle of the movie when I left I can't wait to find out what Matt realized I never put it together that the oil was revenge for strawberry fields

oh I just thought it was kind of like here's this oil like this is good torture kind of gross, you know. Wow. This movie gets better and better, listener. We're peeling back layer after layer after layer. It's an onion. I think if every reviewer of the movie had seen it 17 times, they too would have

had the same conclusion. If they had a podcast, yes, yes. I mean, look, man, I don't want to argue with Amazon Prime. Up next, tomorrow never dies. Oh, what time is it? I really, I've got to be. Well, guys, it was fun.

Matt has left. Well, next up on James Bonding will likely be some kind of special episode or something, but we'll see. Maybe another commentary. Yeah. We don't know. Look, again, I'm going to pitch it again. I'd like to do The Rock.

I'd like to do commentary for the Rock. I know Matt doesn't. But in between the real, we got to get through those real commentaries first. Terran says that, uh, Dinah the Day is, has redeeming qualities. are now agreeing. Well, ironic redeeming qualities. Yeah.

That might be fun because it will be all three of us be in a different place. I really need to know. All right. Yeah. What the hell we see in that movie. That'd be a good one.

Well, there you have it. I mean, look, let's just talk very quickly about visually. I think this movie's fantastic. I think the performances are great. I think Dominic Green's

villain performance is the best villain performance next to Javier Bardeme. Of all the Bond movies? Yeah, who's a better, who, like, I mean, you just go with like, Oh shit, you painted a picture with this character

and you embodied this character and found, and there's like nuance to it. I mean, Chris Walken? I like Lechief. Sure. Lechief is Sophie Marceau. Pretty good. Sofa Marcel, I didn't.

I'm not arguing. I like him a lot in this. I would kill for a like first draft of this or even a shooting script because I bet it was way different than what ended up. Well yeah, probably. Is that out there anywhere? Does anybody have that? It's so like I can't, you know, these movies and they find that the Marvel movies, they're very hard to get hold of these shooting scripts, these shooting drafts for some reason or another. Interesting.

Roberto Wassa Myers and Cecil Weeks just did some great job. fixing locations for us. Oh, there's the chili crew. You got to get in touch with one of them when you're out there. One of the chili crew. Thanks to all the catering crews. Yeah, it says that. It doesn't say the exact catering companies.

It just says all the catering crews. Excuse me. Thanks to Albert R. Broccoli's spaghetti pot. They should keep using that on every set. Oh my God, it would be amazing. Oh, so the visual effects were done by Mark 12, and Mark 12 did the credits, the opening credits. Yeah, that's why they looked the same.

I mean... And Mark Forster had worked with them before for, I think, the kite runner or something. Mm-hmm. Zanmi. It's funny to look at the songs that are used in this. Wyclef Jean, 24 Iton Puvie. I don't even know what any of these were played in the movie.

crawl and crawl by David Arnold. I love that. Crawl and crawl. That's amazing. Crawl and crawl. That's amazing. That's great. Still pretty short credits for a...

Well, nowadays, when you see credits after a big blockbuster, it's just 400. Yeah. Daniel Craig's clothing tailored by... Is top four still doing him? I forget. Oh, I don't know. Did you do Specter? He did, right?

Yeah, he did Specter. probably then yeah there have been some wardrobe leaks yeah that i know about oh wow i guess we'll take a cue from the man himself and say the same james bonding will return james bonding podcast hey this is arnie kemp from the improv fantasy podcast hello from the magic tavern i fell through a dimensional portal behind a burger king in chicago into the magical land of food and i started a podcast Season three has just begun with a brand new adventure to defeat the Dark Lord.
