Starting point is 00:00:54 Here's how we jump into this Emily We're gonna talk to you About your your relationship with James Bond over the years. That's a very, it's going to be short. That's fine, it's fine. We take all comers, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:07 I mean, I appreciate that because I watched, I remember watching some Dalton when I was a kid and and having confusing feelings in, in my lady parts. Yeah, really? Yeah. You found him kind of attracted? And the sex scenes are obviously, like, yeah, yeah, sure. Super hot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:21 And somehow not that filthy. Like, they do a great job. Yeah. And then, yeah, so that was pretty much it. Sure. And then, uh, what, Pierce Brosnan? I remember I was in a very anti-consumerism phase, I think, when that, the big one came out where they were like, and it's got the car and the watch that goes with it.
Starting point is 00:01:42 And I was like, consumer bastards, look at these sheep. Yeah, I wasn't into a minute of that time either. Yeah. I would say that you got out of that phase. Certainly. I certainly got out of that phase. Emily's appearance, of course, brought you by Hynequin. I do look like Hynequin right now.
Starting point is 00:01:58 She's wearing an Amiga watch. That's very good. I only wear product. I actually did buy a helmet laying dress, and I was like, this is it. I've done it. I never need to do anything else. She's wearing that now.
Starting point is 00:02:09 I have not. Yeah, I wear it every day. It's in tatters. It's like Marge. Marge's a Chanel dress that you found on Dishap, and then we sewed every which way possible. It's a Franken dress. And then I've seen like the more, the Daniel Craig wins.
Starting point is 00:02:23 I've seen all of those in the theater. But, yeah, I go to the theater. That's pretty nice to do. I see films. I've seen them in the opera. Oh, speaking of opera. Speaking of why, when are they going to do James Bond opera? I'm into that.
Starting point is 00:02:37 That was a joke, but I will. But there was an opera in this one. There was right. Yeah. There's so much. There's a Kickstarter need. So your favorite James Bond is Timothy Dalton. We're just declaring that.
Starting point is 00:02:51 I would say that. Wow. You may be the only one, but I like him. Yeah, he's fine. I just have a very, I have a childlike appreciation. I don't like them. I don't like them. I don't care for it.
Starting point is 00:03:01 I like him. I always felt like he was... Well, he's fine. He's fine. I think the problem was less with him and more with the scripts being so dark. Yeah, maybe the script. Although I like living daylights.
Starting point is 00:03:18 The movies don't fit him and he doesn't fit his movies. Right. Oh, is that right? See, as a kid, you're just like, well, like you look good. Well, I mean, when we get back to Timothy Dothel, and when we finally get there, we'll invite you back on.
Starting point is 00:03:28 You can talk about all the feelings and how your relationship. So many feelings. It's going to be like your podcast. You and Camel does really want to start because the people you have crushes on when you're a kid. We have a, Quail and I have a podcast we've never done
Starting point is 00:03:40 that we want to do called Camel and Matt Spank Bank. Can I be on that? Camel and Matt. Smank back. Very jazzy. Where we would just sort of talk about the ladies. Sure.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Sure. Yeah. That's a great one. Yeah. Oh, I had it bad. Pippi longstocking. I had a thing for your lesson. That's okay. My weirdest one, I think, would be.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Gina Davis in a league of their own. Oh, she was so pretty. That got me going. For some reason, her makeup looked so good in that movie. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:04:09 She looked so... She was stunning. She was so beautiful. I really had to think for Billy Ocean when I was a kid that no one understood. I don't even think I knew what he looked like.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Did you ironically have him in your dreams? I guess maybe. And also in your car? I think maybe I thought romancing the stone was really hot. And then, because there's a sex scene in that
Starting point is 00:04:26 that I remember being like, yeah, that's the one I'm going to keep for later. And then maybe I'd transfer that to the video? I don't know. That's fair. I don't know what I did. I like it. I like it. It's tough. What are we got?
Starting point is 00:04:37 Tough. Good. We got, uh, blondeie was my first. I used to carry around a transistor radio just to hear, call me, and put it up to my ear. Like, no headphones or any. Just put it up to my ear. I'm riding around on my bike and I just stop my bike. That's so cute. I don't know what I'm, I know I'm feeling something.
Starting point is 00:04:56 I know it's right, but I don't know what it is. Biologically, it feels correct. She's a good one. That's a hot one. That's really, that's good of you to be so secure with your feelings that you would stop the bike ride. Well, I didn't want to bother anybody. With your boner? With your bike boner?
Starting point is 00:05:10 It was more safety than anything. What happened to him? He was riding his bike with the transistor radio up to him. Blondie again. All right, so listen, Matt and I, we welcome everyone. No, regardless of their relationship with James Bond. Yeah, this is an open sect church. No denominations.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Am I the least Bondian Bond? No, I don't think so. You're ahead of Jonah. Yeah, you are ahead of Jonah. And most things. And most things. But next week, we're having on Allie and Georgia
Starting point is 00:05:45 who have never seen one. Good luck, you guys. Good luck with you. May the luck of the Lord, they're two of my best friends. May the luck of the Lord be with you. We've also talked about having our two girlfriends on just to talk about dating someone that's in the bond.
Starting point is 00:05:59 I like that. And your girlfriend isn't necessarily a Bond fan. Mine either. I thought you're going to be like, you're not calling her your girlfriend. Well, we live together in a committed relationship, but no, you're right. I will accept consort. Is there a common-law girlfriend? And does she like Bond?
Starting point is 00:06:17 How does she feel? Yeah, so this is Quantum Sal's the direct sequel to Casino Royale, so direct that it picks up minutes after Casino Royale ends. Only time it's ever happened. I'm not a fan of that. You don't like that. Because what? I did, and everyone on Twitter, because I tweeted that I was watching it for you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:37 I did not mention you. I should have. I'm so sorry. You didn't ask me. Oh, I mean, I asked. Yeah. When I tweeted it, everyone was like, you should watch it right after you watch Casino Royale. And I'm like, I don't have that kind of time.
Starting point is 00:06:47 They tweet in that voice? Yes. That's how I hear everybody tweets to me. It's really not okay. Listen, I said this in the past. I didn't realize that until maybe last year when I wanted to, before Skyfall came. I was like I should rewatch the last two. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:02 And when I did that, obviously, I watched them very close to each other. I was like, holy shit. Much better that way. They are much better that way. Much, much, much better that way. Because I'm kind of like, how many girls has he been with? And this is the one that's tearing it down. This is the one?
Starting point is 00:07:16 Eva Green is so hot. She's very stunning. Vesper. Vesper Lynn is so, so hot. I don't want to spoil anything for our lists in the final rundown, but she's very high up. Oh, you guys have a list. of Bond babes. Well, we're going to. Yeah, we have to accumulate them. Yeah. Before we do the wrap-up. Rob Stark's wife was in this one from Game of Thrones.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Did you guys see that? She's the one that's kind of getting raped toward the end. That's her? Yeah, that is her. That's the weird awkward panty shot. Excuse me. Such an awkward panty shot. Yeah, I don't understand. So sorry. Kind of getting raped. She does it. That was the definition of a going to get raped until the hotel blew up. Until the hotel blew up. Yes. But I feel like they showed that the panties just to show us nothing no penetration oh is that what they were showing us that's my what I got out of it they wanted us to see that no penetration happened I thought it was almost like it's so fetishy like titillation for the
Starting point is 00:08:10 other like I felt part of the rape when I saw it's a little gross it was a little gross but that's what I rationalize that they were doing by showing that but this is good we do this because we we sort things out you know that's yeah well listen I noticed the shot as well and I just thought oh I'm glad she's wearing underwear that's literally what I thought that was my thought process. I mean, if you've seen Gamer Thones, you've seen her naked. Spoiler alert.
Starting point is 00:08:32 That's true. I didn't realize that was her. She's very pretty. I think she's gorgeous. Now he's going to hold up the transistor radio of this podcast. Stop his bike. That is her.
Starting point is 00:08:45 She's going to go back to Woody her and ride. See my panties, call me. Panty line, call me. That would have been better. Yeah, there you go. Sorry, thank you for that. All right, let's kick it up.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Here we go. Quad with Salas, everybody. All right. Cold open this time. Yeah. One of, nope, the best car chase in a Bond movie. It's great. It's a good car chase. Also, is this the artiest Bond film there is? I didn't realize that until I started watching this.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Is that? Is it? Is it? I think it's beautiful. What it lacks in humor, it makes up for in some great shots. It lacks a lot of humor. It does. I like the color palette of this film. It's gorgeous. I can talk to you a little about this. Did you know about this?
Starting point is 00:09:28 that the director Mark Forster, this is why I think he may be the artist of the Bond films. I love it. His action set pieces, he based on the four elements. Oh. So Earth is the first one. They drive through the quarry. Yeah. Then it's water with the boat chase.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Beautiful. Air, with the ocean, and fire in the hotel at the end. I love it. That's great. Now, I don't know if that's at all necessary or important. No. This is the kind of insight people are listening to this podcast for. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Believe it or not. The air one was when they were both fighting on the. those like crane things that were moving around. No, there's the airplane. The airplane. He said ocean. He did say ocean. He said ocean. I was kind of glad on the ocean.
Starting point is 00:10:10 They're not on the ocean. Usually you don't say air ocean. When they have the boat. But that was water? Yeah, but then you said air with the over the ocean. And then I was like, what movie did he watch? I can't get Billy Ocean out of my head right now. Neither can't.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Yeah. You guys should put him in your cars. Put him in your cars. Now we're sharing the same. Dream! I love that song. Yeah, I did, a couple things I didn't enjoy about the, or one thing I didn't enjoy about the car chase.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Yeah. The need to subtitle the Italian police. Yeah, that's not necessary. We kind of get what you're saying. We get it. Can also hear you say, Aston Martin and Alpha Romeo. Yeah, yeah. Same in both languages.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Assume that we understand. We're going to extrapolate. It's not like you're saying, this guy's so fucking hot, follow me. Take Quarry Road East to Bay Salt Road West. Fellas. When I saw this first time, I found the geography and the logistics of this car chase a little hard to follow. I felt it was a little too boring identity. And then now I'm watching it knowing exactly what's going on, and I'm loving it.
Starting point is 00:11:20 I have to say I'm loving it. I did back this scene up and watch it again because I was watching it. When I watched it on my laptop, it's so easy to ignore a movie on a laptop. I know, it's terrible, but it's what I had to do for you guys. I heard this movie on my laptop and then watched another James Bond movie on the TV while I was doing. I want that to be true. Might be true. But no, I like this is a pretty intense, like, fucking just full-size cars getting hit.
Starting point is 00:11:49 I remember when they were filming this, if I remember correctly, correct me if I'm wrong, someone died. No, no. No, the car got pushed over the side. I think a stuntman died, but it wasn't involved. But he's not important. He was in a car accident or something unrelated to this scene. Oh, no. You would think if anything, a stuntman would survive a car accident.
Starting point is 00:12:10 I know. They know how to, like, loosen it. Yeah, loosen it. Welcome to Emily Gordon's stunt school. I'm going to turn this over to Emily. We're going to tell you about car crashes today. Emily, go. Guys, just loosen it.
Starting point is 00:12:24 You know, when a baby falls out of a window, it doesn't. and tense up, you got to do that. They're so stupid. They don't know the tense up. They don't know what's happening. Be your stupid stuff. Congratulations. You all certified stunt people pay us at the door. We do not accept checks. PayPal is accepted. And Bitcoin. We are looking into Bitcoin. We have not yet figured that out. We do not know what that is quite yet. But once we figured out, we will take it, I think. My kids are yelling at me about this Bitcoin. Somebody bought a Porsche. I'm into it. I'm looking into it. I don't
Starting point is 00:12:52 know what's going to happen. But in the meantime, we have Square. They take, you know, a little over 2%. But you know, it's good. I get it. You get it. I get it. We both get it. Long story short, thanks for coming to Brooklyn Stunts. All right. Next week, we work
Starting point is 00:13:06 with Tigers. Brooklyn Stunts. Not a lot of the industry here, but we do some things on the side. We do all boardwalk Empire. We do all boardwalk Empire. Yeah. You got that one half-faced
Starting point is 00:13:22 guy for reals. Tiger Tiger School Week has been ill-attended since Life of Pye. I'm not sure what happened there. I guess the guy came out of a computer. I don't know if it was a real tiger. All the tigers came out of the computer school. God, I missed the godfather.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Yeah, so. The car chase is amazing. Car chase is, it's beautiful. It's just, like, frenetic or something, because there's no special gimmick. He just dispatches with these guys with just a machine. They're shooting in with a bigger machine gun, and he just happens to get him at the right time.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Is his, let me grab the seatbelt on this side. You gotta get, you gotta fall out that door. Because the door was already gone by then, right? Isn't that rad, though, that the fucking door comes off? Because he almost gets stabbed to death by a truck. It's pretty great. This time I notice more clearly that that truck gets rammed into the wall, which pushes that beam out, which then takes his door off.
Starting point is 00:14:16 It's just a logistical cause and effect of dream. It's like ballet. It's like a ballet. It really is a ballet of just some feel. It's a ballet. of Italian and British motors. Welcome to Brooklyn Ballet. Today we will pirouette.
Starting point is 00:14:33 I got to look that up. Grangerette. So we then see our first title, which is of where we are. Siena Italy. I like the way they wrote down. I like the way they put the graphic up of where they were. In the title incorporated into what we're looking at.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Which also confusing me when they go to Haiti and they go to the hotel and that sign is hanging up, but it's a real sign. It is a real sign. They're doing it again. And then I'm really embarrassed to find out they're not. But no one knew until just now when you told us. I know.
Starting point is 00:15:05 We're just embarrassed to yourself. So he pulls into an underground Italy. There's so much catacombs going on over there. Yeah. A lot of catacombs. Could we briefly talk about the sound design? I mean, if we're being honest and we're among friends here. We're among friends.
Starting point is 00:15:20 This is an R.E. film. So in this car chase, the Saturdays, comes in and out and in the boat chase it happens too yeah it's subtle but Jesus Christ are you in town because get out of town where are you right now you know what I'm coming into town I'm coming into town so I can leave okay turn you turn why is this the one we're using Brooklyn accents I know it was my fault I started I apologize I don't blame you I was just running Emily's stunt school someone's gotta he goes underground
Starting point is 00:15:53 at this point does he what happens does the credits roll before he pulls Mr. White out of the trunk No he pulls He opens the trunk
Starting point is 00:16:04 and sees him Yeah What does he say Time to get out Something very clever Something's dry Something to that effect And then this is your stop
Starting point is 00:16:12 Yeah It was How did you enjoy your ride I loved that though Yeah I loved that I did too That was as solid
Starting point is 00:16:18 An opening As the end of Casino Royale wasn't ending Where he takes him out in the knees and then. It's a nice little... Then I just felt kind of bad for the guy for being in the trunk during all that.
Starting point is 00:16:28 That's got to be so scary. Oh, but... Do you remember Casino Real? He's a bad man. He's a bad man. Well, if you tell me he's bad, I'll be like, okay, cool, that's why. Torture.
Starting point is 00:16:37 It doesn't kill Bond, so he's not... Well, he's, he's pragmatic. Here's what happens after that. Yeah. Bottom three James Bond songs of all time? Oh, my God. Yeah, I'm not a huge fan. I could, I was like, who those?
Starting point is 00:16:52 fuck is this? Who is doing this? You don't know when Alicia Keys is singing and when Jack White is like. I completely forgot about the song's existence. It's so bad. And what's funny, I went and turned on like I just put on some music and the song that came on was at View to a Kill by Duran
Starting point is 00:17:09 Duran and I was like, this is what I'm saying. How do you compare these two songs? Vue to a kill is one of the best songs, period. It's the only number one Bond song. It deserved it. That Adele one's pretty good. I was in the Paris Casino. in Las Vegas last week
Starting point is 00:17:25 and Vuto Kill was playing and I was like, this makes sense I'm right under the fake rifle tower So this song Yeah I, we've talked about this on the show Yes, of course
Starting point is 00:17:36 I have a frustration when the theme of the song Is not incorporated into the goddamn score of the movie Oh I see, yeah, that makes sense Can you blame him? Well, this was a late ad Because I think Amy Winehouse was Dead
Starting point is 00:17:51 Dead And And love it. She was slated to do this, and 11th hour had to pull out for various reasons. So many reasons. So they put this in. One big one. Have you noticed in the score they had that?
Starting point is 00:18:06 So that song was written for Shirley Bassy, and you can look it up. It's called No Good About Goodbye. What? Alternate theme for this movie. That was the alternate theme? That was going to be the theme that David Arnold wrote. That makes more sense. First of all, the title of that song makes a lot more.
Starting point is 00:18:22 More sense. She's thinking about saying goodbye to Tits McGee. And your anger. All of your anger. All of your rage. Say goodbye.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Guys, I just spent a dollar 29 on the song. I was going to do it if you didn't. I'm glad that you did. I have it on my phone. Doesn't matter. Matt just spent a dollar.
Starting point is 00:18:39 The song is called Another Way to Die. I would say it's my ringtone. It's more my hang-up tone. Whatever. Alert people. I'm going to go now. And they're like, no, me first.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Me first. This is the worst thing I've ever heard. It doesn't make sense with the movie. It doesn't feel sexy or, like, classy. The lyrics are very jack-white guitar, obviously. But it's like... And there's like a scat portion that's not in the movie that's in the single.
Starting point is 00:19:10 They should get Primus to do the next one. I know. They cheese. Yeah, it gets real jazzy in a second. Got a pump off. How long is this? Lord Jesus. This is the same.
Starting point is 00:19:36 They don't go Another girl with the chingy chinka doog doobabagoooo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. They don't go well together. No. They're both great. They don't go well together. Yeah, no. Were they in the same room ever?
Starting point is 00:19:53 I don't know. I'm not about to double-double-trapetia. I'm not about to double dip inside a Peter Parkett's super Dan the awesome blossom. James Bond is angry and I bengen your love How do we get this thing sponsored where we're eating? Just describe the Outback menu I would eat outback right now so hard
Starting point is 00:20:16 Yeah, they have these new steak sliders They do? Yeah, they do When have you been there recently? With my girlfriend's family Yeah, let's hear this. It's always with a family. It is never a choice.
Starting point is 00:20:28 At Applebee's, at least any of them. Ironically, all the Olive Garden, you can go there by yourself, because when you're there. Or whenever you don't see me, I'm there. I come from and go to Olive Garden. We were discussing if you're homeless and you find $15, what's like your best bet? And I think your best bet is to go to Olive Garden because you get the unending pasta bowl with a soup and salad. Disagree.
Starting point is 00:20:52 And Kumil is like, they're not going to let you sit there. They're not going to let you. I think if you cleaned up a little. No, I think the move, the $15 move is to get 15 delicious 99 cent items from McDonald's. That's the move. I don't know. I feel like unending, though. Doesn't unending feel more than 15?
Starting point is 00:21:08 Well, I mean, for that, what about Golden Corral Buffet or something? And they would welcome you. A home camp buffet. They would welcome you with open arms. Your step up, sir. Come on in. We've been waiting. We've been waiting for someone.
Starting point is 00:21:21 We just want someone to be here. Sir, we have a seat for you. It's over here in Homeless Town. What? No, don't worry about it. And there's a whole, okay. So, let's have tucked visually this opening credit secret. It's not a big fan.
Starting point is 00:21:35 It's a little sandy at times. It's very sandy. In crotches. Like there's too many open crutches in sand. It makes me uncomfortable. I think everything about an open crotch makes Matt Gorely uncomfortable. Oh, yeah. Generally, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Oh, yeah. Close your crotches, everyone. Close it. Close them. Don't take my picture. No. No. Yeah, I don't like, I'm not a huge fan of opening credit sequences that feature heavy amount of James Bond.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Oh, really? Yeah. What do you look for? Because I just think they're all magical because to me, like, as a kid, I was like, I would just watch this. Can I just watch this the whole time? They're special. Yeah, they're really, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Yeah, I just don't like him playing so prominently. I know he does it. And Skyfall, it's pretty heavy, Daniel Craig. Yeah, and Casino Royale. Casino Royale, that's a cartoon. You prefer ladies, though? I prefer like a, I prefer like a for your eyes only, like a lady silhouette. That one's straight up, Sheena Easton.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Yeah. Is it, Sheena Easton? Oh, yeah. starts with her face. Really? I'm going to have to watch that. I'll YouTube it. That's cool.
Starting point is 00:22:37 I liked this one okay when it came out and then re-watching it. I'm not. It's too, it already feels music video dated of its time. It does feel dated. It does. It feels dated. This is 2008, right? This is, yeah, 20-od-8.
Starting point is 00:22:51 So long ago. Yeah. It really kind of is. What are we doing? What have we done, guys? We've only made two James Bond movies since then. Yeah, that's a problem right there. This one and that one.
Starting point is 00:23:00 And no Jurassic Park movies. Zero Jurassic Park movies. I don't know what we're doing. There's one coming. There is one coming. They're talking about it. They're talking about it. Yeah, so let's talk about this amazing, amazing chase on foot.
Starting point is 00:23:17 I'm so glad they didn't go back to parkour. God, well, it's kind of parkoury, but not as much as... What, I forgot about this, and it's very prominent in Cassino, Ryle. Calcedo Royal. is how much of a beating Daniel Craig takes. Yeah, he really... Just slamming into shit. The fights are brutal.
Starting point is 00:23:40 There was one where he jumped and landed and had to like slam into a wall. Oh yeah, he fucking slams into that balcony. And I guess that's the sound design thing you're talking about too. Like, it sounds amazing. Even on my laptop. No, really, what did Kumal think when you're sitting there by yourself watching? He was not even home. And then they'll watch the last 30 minutes with him in the other room.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Yeah, going dang dang dang dang dang nang which I love doing. Whenever I was bored watching this movie, I was going dang dang dang dang. You're like everybody. You put this as an Asian, Asian. I think she goes more for the original intention of the theme. Oh, the House of Mr. Biswas. Yeah. Listen, you guys can't put words in my mouth.
Starting point is 00:24:21 You don't know what I'm doing. I know exactly what you're doing. His name's Kumail. And he enjoys the house of Mr. Biswas. Dang, ding, dang, dang. Yeah, so that fight, I got to say, it's amazing. The whole let's fight on ropes thing. It's like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragons, but they forgot to take out the ropes.
Starting point is 00:24:40 I got a couple of beefs with this. I love it. Let's go. I think maybe my, I like the fast-paced editing, but you miss some things. You think M gets shot, and I don't think on purpose. I don't think they mean to do that. Did not think M got shot. I did.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Every time I see it, I still fool myself and just have to believe the law. And then when they get to that little bell tower and they fall into that thing, it looks so CG. But the crazy thing is it isn't. They did that stunt. And then they made it look CG. Well, I think they made it look CG just with the color saturation. Yeah, but that's a problem. That is a problem.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Well, I didn't find it a problem because I knew going into it that the visual look of this chase scene is very color saturated. You know I have a problem with CG in my Bond movie. I know. It doesn't sit well. It doesn't sit well. Do you guys want a maltball, by the way? I did. I 100%.
Starting point is 00:25:30 They're a little... Oh, are they disgustingly melted? Oh, cool. I'm good. I'm good. All right. You're smart. They're very good.
Starting point is 00:25:37 From the gamble house in Pasadena. Oh, well, you didn't say they were from Doc Brown's home. Yeah. I learned that today. What? You weren't aware of that? You didn't drive by that as a child? No.
Starting point is 00:25:49 I'd try to find and meet Doc Brown? If I was a child out here, I would have done that. I was listening to blogger. But I'm 30. You did that last week, yeah. Every time I go to the Rose Bowl I'm like, I'm in a seat, Doc Brown's house. It's a hell of a fight, and the way it ends with him shooting at the camera.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Beautiful. Yeah, that is gorgeous. I don't know why they didn't just make the blood. Where he's hanging? He looks so badass. It looks amazing. Yeah, he knows how to look badass. He really does.
Starting point is 00:26:14 He's great. He's that jaw. He might look the best in this movie. Yeah, I think you're right. That's what I'm going to go ahead and say. In that scene, and also in the end, when he's got his motorcycle jacket zipped up, he looks like Steve McQueen. Come on.
Starting point is 00:26:25 I ordered one. You did. I know you did. This is what you did. You ordered a Daniel Craig? I ordered a Daniel Craig. He's arriving shortly. But yeah, no, he looks really... Also, I will say this.
Starting point is 00:26:38 He looks fucking like hell through 60% of this movie. But he looks great looking at him, though. Just like beat up. Beat up dirty as fuck. God damn it, he's handsome. Have you guys talked about your obsession with dressing like James Bond? Well, I have it more than Matt does. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:55 I'm of the mind. if I enjoy these movies, but I don't fool myself into thinking I am. Sure, so let's get into you then, Myron. Everyone needs a fat James Bond. Every home should have one. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. If anyone hears the podcast at that split second, they'll think, how racist is this podcast? Or, you kind of sound like deliverance a little bit.
Starting point is 00:27:21 I even wrote Casual Cacky Bond, because that's the next thing we see him in. Casual Cacky. after the fight, we see when he goes to the next stop. But I'm skipping ahead, everybody. Okay, so we've established the fight. Where do you rank it in your James Bond fightums? Oh, man. This has the best car chase of any James Bond,
Starting point is 00:27:40 the worst song of any James Bond. And what I think is the... You're just talking to the real fight. It's like top ten fights. I'm not going to put it up in the top five. The road fight? It's no Russia would love train cabin. It's no Russia with love train cabin.
Starting point is 00:27:55 It's also no... Certainly not. It's no, it's no, it's no Cassano Royal. Cassino Royal. Is this how the podcast got started? Was it you said it that way?
Starting point is 00:28:07 And then you said it that way? And then you're like, fuck cast. Never agree. The stairwell fight in Cassino Royal? Is that what you do? No, I'm talking about the, I'm talking about the whole parkour situation.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Oh, fuck off. That's the best thing ever. I love that park court fight. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I just didn't want them to redo it, but I love that. When he fucking, we're going to talk a little bit about Casino-Reylon right now, but when he fucking burst through the drywall,
Starting point is 00:28:32 that's the moment. Where he literally does a, like that, and it doesn't seem odd. Yeah. That's what you would do. That's the moment in the theater where I was watching that film and I was like, me too. I'm on board. Yeah. I'm on board 100%.
Starting point is 00:28:46 He just went through that wall. I got out of the theater at that point so I could go back in. Did you see it twice in a row? That'd be amazing. I don't know if I did. I don't know if I did. That means you did. No.
Starting point is 00:28:58 I had friends there. They wouldn't do it. It's true. Everybody has to be unbroken. I would have done it. I would have done it. Excuse me. Former friends.
Starting point is 00:29:09 All right. So, fight happens. Go back. He sees a puddle of blood on the floor. No Mr. White. Find out where M is. Blah, blah, blah. Back at MI6.
Starting point is 00:29:18 We are at MI6. We are at MI6. The modern day, MI6. Yeah. Which I believe is shot at the bar or is like right near Royal Shakespeare, like in the just the hub of London, where you go see Shakespeare also they're just doing their spy stuff.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Well, you got to hide in plain sight. I love it. I got to do it. Yeah. Yeah. I liked that. I liked this sort of high-techie. As much as I like the throwback M's office and Skyfall, I really liked future M's office with the TV,
Starting point is 00:29:51 like with the screen on the glass. Bring it up. Oh, yeah. Bring up whatever. Bring up my thought. Yeah. But favorite M, favorite line M has ever said. Ever?
Starting point is 00:30:01 Ever? In any movie? Any version of M. Is when they are at the guy's apartment looking for evidence. She says... Oh, I know what she is. Is it about the flowers? Yes.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Yeah, that's pretty good. She says they have people everywhere. I didn't know that was a thing. Florists use that term. Yeah. Yeah. I loved it It took me a minute
Starting point is 00:30:26 I was like oh Like she's so dry That I was like Yeah That was a good life People say that all the time They don't actually have people everywhere This is why I want to know who's responsible for that
Starting point is 00:30:36 Is that Paul Haggis Because he had very little time to work with this Before the writer strike took effect And then they were kind of screwed Oh is that right And I think that's why it lacked so much humor Did you read that he handed it in two hours Before the deadline?
Starting point is 00:30:47 Yeah That's amazing And I think those other guys are just responsible For the plot stuff I'm so angry at those people Neil Purvis and Robert Wade They're the other They're like the Brosnan holdovers
Starting point is 00:30:58 Yeah I'm not happy about them I don't know why I have such distaste for them I blame them too I think it's I feel like everything that we don't like About James Bond in the last 20 years is their fault But we don't really have any proof of that Nope none other than one of them has a weird
Starting point is 00:31:12 Mollet Yes Yeah you guys are totally basing this on nothing But I think that's okay yeah so it's fair Well that checks out We're basing it on the following Okay they wrote
Starting point is 00:31:23 Dyn'O'O'A day by themselves Yeah And that movie's such a piece of shit They then wrote Johnny English And Plunkett and McLeod or McLean Oh yeah They just wrote parodies of James Vaughn Just by changing
Starting point is 00:31:37 They're probably scripts they had They're probably spec scripts they had for James Bond Where they were just like Find and replace James Bond with Johnny English Done At a monkey maybe Or the other way around
Starting point is 00:31:49 No they probably took out a monkey You probably took out a monkey. But yeah, I love when M says that. They have people everywhere. And you guys love Judy Dench, right? Oh, yeah. She's fantastic. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:00 She's fantastic. I was alarmed at how much younger she looked in this. I know, me too. Oh, then Casino Royale? Four years. Well, no, she looked much younger in this than Skyfall. Oh, don't say that. And Craig, too.
Starting point is 00:32:11 But we established on the Skyfall episode with Steve Agee that we would all fuck her. Oh, of course she would. I just don't want to think about her aging at all. Like, I don't want to think about her aging at all. Like, I don't want to think about, I want her to stay exactly how she is now. In my mind, she'll always be, she'll always be. Just, that sexy old lady. She's the sexiest old lady.
Starting point is 00:32:33 Is this weird for you, Emily? Yeah, it's weird. You're our first lady that we've had on the podcast. Can you guys stop, please? We've done better than most podcasts. We're only four in. Yeah. And we finally have a lady.
Starting point is 00:32:45 I love when I get asked to do podcasts and they're like, well, we've had so many guys on it. Oh, no. And they're like, great. No, you're the fourth person to be on the podcast. You could just say, ask me to do it. You don't have to say, we need a girl. Also, can we have you on? You don't have to do the first part.
Starting point is 00:32:59 You don't have to do it. Just say you want me on. So, Emily, I'm about asking you a question. Do you have a penis? Are you doing Bill Cosby? What is doing right now? Do you have a penis, Emily? I'm starting a podcast with the gelop pudding pop.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Just so you know, you were asked to be a guest before Cosby was. So that's how much we want to use. This is not a gender thing. But the thing I'm telling you, there was not one black person in the world. I'm wondering if I should put a wooden dowel in your mouth right now. Here's my wallet. Yeah, what do we do for you? I'm a little concerned.
Starting point is 00:33:33 But, do. Oh, God. What is this? What? Just checking email. You guys email? I'm going to show you guys something that I cannot be blamed for showing you the subject message because I have not been able to read the email content yet.
Starting point is 00:33:54 All right. That is a weird idea. Wow. We can't say that here. No, no, no, no. Or we couldn't ruin everything. We just got a major scoop. We just got a major Hollywood scoop.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Whoa. Guys, I don't know. Did anyone email me that information? I'm also just looking for it. Nope. I've got custom sublimation sportswear. Dear sir or madam, we feel pleasure. in introducing.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Holy shit. Whoa, you're getting it from multiple people. Wow. Who are these? You're like Robert Woodward who has these
Starting point is 00:34:36 deep throat pop culture sources. I got a coupon for seamless tomorrow. So if you guys want 15% off, a seamless delivery. We do this. This is a segment where we all check our email.
Starting point is 00:34:47 I think that's totally good. Guys, here's what we're saying. Wow, that's, I'm like a little stunned. I don't know how to, I don't know what to do now. You can't go from that to that. Can you?
Starting point is 00:34:58 I don't know. You guys. Oh, guys. Variety just broke the news. I can say this because it's on variety right now. So when you're hearing this, four, five weeks from now. Yeah, seven weeks now. You just got our real reactions to Ben Affleck is the new Batman.
Starting point is 00:35:15 I don't know. I don't know how to feel. I love Bafleck. I do love him. He's grown into a wonderful. Yeah, why not? That's good. Who is the other guys they were?
Starting point is 00:35:25 We're going to go with one of them that didn't sit with. The actor will replace Christian Bail. This is from Variety. Variety is reporting. Justin Croller reporting. The actor will replace Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne in the upcoming untitled Superman Batman feature for Warner Brothers. Wait, I get it. He'll play Bruce Wayne, but not Batman.
Starting point is 00:35:38 They're going to cast someone else. Christian Bail is still doing that. Christian Bail is still Batman. Ben Affleck's going to play Bruce Wayne. I didn't, I didn't like... Goodwill Hunt. Christian Bail as... Gigley.
Starting point is 00:35:51 You didn't like him as Batman because you didn't like the voice, right? Mainly? No, there was a lot. There's a lot more to it. This is James, this is James Bonding, not, not Let's Batman. I had to text it to my mom. Really?
Starting point is 00:36:04 We're good. Let's go. I bet you text it to Ben Affleck. Yeah, text Ben Affleck. I text Matt Damon. Or text, Christian Slater. I would love it as Matt. Christian Slater.
Starting point is 00:36:12 I wonder how Kevin Smith's going to feel about this. Christian Slater would have been a great Batman. He would have. In his prime? In like, pump up the volume? Did he have a prime? Fuck you. Pump up the volume and Heather's?
Starting point is 00:36:22 Did Christian Slater have a prime? Pre-cuff. He had a prime. Anything before a Cuff. His prime was his one scene in Star Trek 6. You guys are pieces of shit. No, I'm just asking. He's the best human being.
Starting point is 00:36:35 He was great in Heather's. He did the best Jack Nicholson impression I've ever seen. Guys, now that we found out the Bet-Athelic is Batman, let's move on to more scenes from Quantum of Solis. I have a new segment to play in this podcast. It's called Spot Michael Wilson, who is one of the producers. Oh, this is a great, this is a great, game. He puts himself in all the
Starting point is 00:36:57 movies that he's producer. Well, that's a fun thing. And so he was in Skyfall, and we didn't play it. Do you know where he was? He was in Skyfall. He was in the, was he not in the scene with the caskets somewhere around there? Yes, that's correct. In the far back, walking. Yeah. All right. And he's in Casino Royale
Starting point is 00:37:15 at the table. We haven't gotten there. Oh, shit. Edit. I fucked up. Oh, God. But I did not think to look for him, nor did I notice him in this film. I think this is one of the most obvious ones there are. Oh, so you notice it, but Matt did not.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Myra did not. Correct. Yeah, but they used to call me Eagle Eye. Eagle Eye, really? Yeah. Hey, there he goes. That's Eagle Eye. Really, I called him Radio Bike.
Starting point is 00:37:44 I'll accept either. Or both. He's in the lobby in the hotel in Haiti, just reading the magazine. Just reen. Does he look out of place? He looks out of place. He looks out of place. Haiti.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Although they do a lot of that, they're just like, oh, look at all these white people in Haiti too. It's cool. Yeah, we don't notice. Well, listen,
Starting point is 00:38:04 I like Michael G. Wilson. Yeah. I enjoy when he works on scripts. And I wish he'd do it more. Do you? Yeah. I wish he'd move into being an actor.
Starting point is 00:38:14 It sounds like he's great. He's there. He's halfway there. He's been in so many movies. He's not shy. Yeah. He was a lawyer, and now he makes
Starting point is 00:38:22 James Bond movies. And now he's, Now he's a, he used to be a caveman, and now he's a lawyer. I don't know why. Unfrozen caveman, lawyer. Okay, so James Bond needs to find out what happened to Mr. White, so they get one lead. This is where the plot gets admittedly a little, like, what do you, how did you make this leap? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:44 They make so many leaps. Well, following money. Yeah, they followed the money. Follow the money. Always followed the money. And a sequence of bills was just given to such and such. I'm okay. I'm on board so far.
Starting point is 00:38:54 That's information. But it's that quick. We're in Haiti like that. Yeah. Well, I mean, they probably took a fast plane. The director said he wanted to, this is the shortest bond film there is, and he wanted this thing to move along. Are you kidding? I think it would.
Starting point is 00:39:05 My word, I had no idea it was an hour 40. I did not know that. When I was thinking about watching it last night, because I was like, I got to watch this thing. I thought, oh, this is two hours and 35 minutes in my life. No. It's an hour 40, and that's the shortest? It's the shortest one. And it could, this one could use a little bit more breathing space, I think.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Just a little bit. Just a little more of a, hey, I'm Exposition Jim, and I'm just sitting next to you on a plane. So you're doing what now? Yeah. Expoitant, Jim, what are you doing here? I'm in every scene. I'm in every scene. I don't exist in real life, but only on the silver screen.
Starting point is 00:39:38 That was a long story. I'm not going to tell you now. I'm not going to tell you now. Okay. So he goes to find the guy that looks a lot like Paul Bettney. A lot. Young Paul Bettie. I think the guy playing this is the stunt choreographer or the coordinator for
Starting point is 00:39:53 both this and Cassino and Roy. How'd you find this out? Well, it's just a thing. We watched documentaries and we... Yeah. Yeah. Get more news is Matt Damon been cast as Superman. Matt Damon is Superman, everybody.
Starting point is 00:40:05 All right, let's do this. Rob and Williams is Jarrell. Lex Luther. Sorry, you got the casting wrong. My people are fired. Uh, yeah, so, okay. Here's what he does. What, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:40:19 He... He goes to shitty Haiti, hotel to find this guy. All he does, first thing he decides to do is I'm going to break into this. Not let me tail this guy. He knocks on the door. Let me wait for this guy.
Starting point is 00:40:33 And if you're a spy and any capacity. Knocks on the door, steps to the side, waiting for a shotgun to take his head off. Yeah. Right. Why do you, if you're inside an apartment and someone knocks on the door and you're a spy, you don't ever answer.
Starting point is 00:40:45 You always wait for them to break in. That's how you know if they're coming after you. What if he ordered some food? That's not a person's not going to break in. In Haiti, they don't do room. Well, they're going to knock. They are going to knock. You're not going to go.
Starting point is 00:40:56 You're not going to go. But he probably's going to know if he ordered some food or not. McGorley, you are a brilliant man. I'm a teacher. Kids, I'll listen. One of the reasons. What are the reasons someone would knock on a door? Go.
Starting point is 00:41:13 Short essay. Get out your blue books. Okay. So, yeah, he doesn't decide to tell this guy. He decides to assume his identity. Yeah, immediately. We're skipping over this fight. this amazingly brutal
Starting point is 00:41:25 and this weird sad little poetic thing at the end did you notice this? So they do this fight and he takes this knife and he stabs him what I think is like his femoral artery which will just bleed someone out
Starting point is 00:41:36 and I want to give Daniel Craig this credit where he looks away from him like he knows that he killed him but he has to die and he just doesn't want to look him in the eye and did you notice that? I didn't notice it. I noticed him looking off.
Starting point is 00:41:48 It was a very it was a very good moment as far as far as as kill it just it was very brutal he doesn't like doing it it was a very brutal killing it's a very brutal
Starting point is 00:41:59 but he just doesn't want to look at him it's like like killing a cat or sacrificing a wounded cat or not sad how is it like killing a cat how do you know what it's like to kill the cat come around most weekends out in the field and what we do is we go out there
Starting point is 00:42:12 that eagle eye goarly out there look at that cat we's with oh my god we put on some robes and we just swing around in an old maple oh maple yeah Okay, here's what I do like about this. James Bond now, for the first time, in a very long time,
Starting point is 00:42:32 has to do some detective work. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. This is what I like. So he does not do this very often. He does not. He used to. He used to be a detective, right?
Starting point is 00:42:41 He got away from it. Yeah. He's more just like a brutal killing and blending in machine. Yeah. So he then uses the reverse racism of black people not knowing what white people look like, telling them to talk about each other. That's right.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Where he then just puts on a coat that the guy had and then just very easily just gets the guy's package. Just immediately at the desk, you're like, yeah, I think if you work in customer service, that should be rule number one. Like, don't immediately hand over a briefcase to anyone. Also, the look that he gives when, what's her face, what is her name?
Starting point is 00:43:20 name. Camille? Yes, Camille. When she pulls up and says, get in. He goes, excuse me. And then she says it again, the look in James Bond's face is I'm gonna, we're gonna fuck. Yeah. Like right now. Like he thinks that, I feel like in his head, he's like, this is a car fuck. It's not even a hotel. Yeah, this is a car. That's a small car. Yeah. Yeah. We're just gonna have a good time in this fiat. Uh, it's not even a fiat. It's a tiny Ford. It's a little fiesta or something. Uh, okay. And so then this part, I was like, what? Yeah. What? Well, the audience, was like that too, I believe. So, James Bond opens the briefcase, which is supposed to be for her, she thinks.
Starting point is 00:43:58 No. No. No, it's the geological survey report. Try to figure this up. So the guy in the hotel was going to kill her. Yes. That was his whole thing. He was hired to kill her. We find out later by whom, because we were following that money. Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:14 And because that's all I got. So, but then why did he, what did he think, why did he think that opening the suitcase in front of her? I don't know, I just don't get like... No, I think that he was, I think that I liked this. There is something I like about it that's very haphazard.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Like, everybody's figuring it out. He's just sort of like going along and I think this is the, this to me is a thing, a very Connery-esque move. And when he gives hands her the thing that she, he thinks that she, oh, okay, this must be the thing she wants. Hands it to her, it's a blank report. This is supposed to be a geological survey report with the information that she was supposed to be, trying to find the leak or that's her cover story, whatever.
Starting point is 00:44:53 So she's trying to find, in the guise of her, she's trying to find out the leak of this information. That's why she went and was like, get in. Who did she think she was talking to? She thought she was talking to
Starting point is 00:45:03 a white, blonde, blue-eyed geologist. So she didn't think, she didn't think that she was talking to the guy who was supposed to kill her. She didn't know she was supposed to get killed. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:14 But when... She's not an idiot. Which, but that gives way to like a great, great moment of him lifting the thing up and seeing the gun in the picture and he's like huh it looks like someone's supposed to kill you yeah what do you know different agenda for the day than i can do and then uh she tries to shoot him she gets out of the car i mean he gets out of the car uh and then motorcycle guy
Starting point is 00:45:38 who's tailing them for i don't know what the reason nobody really knows her and she immediately knows that's a tail even though just blended in with traffic there's nothing about it uh but he does do one of my favorite things which is kick a motorcycle out from under somebody. Yeah, how does that work? You kick up the front tire, and when you're doing it, you grab hold of the handle and throw the throttle up. Okay.
Starting point is 00:45:59 And when that happens, the back wheel, obviously, is the wheel that's getting motion is going to go forward. Everything happens quickly in the scene. And you're just along for the ride. Yeah, so then he's got to go do some detective work, and then, guys, we meet our villain of the movie. The super subtle, weird thing that he's doing, if you noticed, the first shot of the villain from overhead,
Starting point is 00:46:17 he has a stamp. Is anybody like doctoring receipts or something? No. He just has a long roll of receipt tape, and he's just randomly putting, like, stamping it like he's bored. Go back and look at it. That's so weird. I love it, though. He's just sitting there like he's waiting for the general to get there.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Yeah. So he's just making stamp patterns on the receipt. I thought of it. It's the same thing over a little. I thought he was just sort of like just having a, just having a situation where he's like, I got a doctor these receipts. No, he's just like a sociopath. Like a bored, crazy child. I need to make this dinner more expensive.
Starting point is 00:46:49 so my company will pay for it. I love that. Okay, so let's talk about Matthew, who is the, that's the name of the actor. Roman Polansky looking motherfucker. Yeah, what a fucking creepy-looking motherfucker. He's a very weird looking guy.
Starting point is 00:47:04 It's those big old brown alien eyes. No, he's super creepy. So is Le Schiff, aka Hannibal. Yeah. In Casino Raoul. Oh, Mads-Mickleson? Yeah, yeah. I'm in love with Mads-Micholson.
Starting point is 00:47:15 He has a name other than LaCheef. I would fuck the crazy out of Really? He is nuts looking. He looks like a psycho that you just want to take down. Oh, wow. Yeah, he looks like a super psycho. I'm into him.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Not so much this guy. Although this guy grew on me, for sure. I like this guy. Yeah, he grew on me a bunch. He's great in Munich, too. And the bell in the butter, for the diving bell in the butterfly. Oh, two movies I have not seen. Someone seen some Oscar movie.
Starting point is 00:47:41 I haven't seen diving bell in the butterfly either, but I did love him in Munich. I don't know why. Okay. Now, so what happens here is she, we find out that she wants to meet this general of Bolivia that is responsible for the death of her parents. Yep. And she's infiltrated this organization. Yeah, she's infiltrated this organization with her vagina and her scar back. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Some stuff went down there. Camille, General Medrano. How could you do this? That guy has the weirdest voice. And you can do this. Anybody want a peanut? Yes. This is twice what we're paying.
Starting point is 00:48:23 He's in eastbound and down when they're in Mexico. He's like the dull sidekick. Oh shit, he is. Wow, that's amazing. Good one. Okay, so we're taking a lot of time here. We've got to barrel through because there's an indoor kids coming in. There's an indoor kids.
Starting point is 00:48:41 Okay. So, okay, here's a couple things I wrote down from the rest of the for the rest of this situation here. Dumb haircut, henchman. Oh, why? What's happening with that? That we find out as a wig when he gets knocked down the floor, knocked down the stairs. Elvis.
Starting point is 00:48:59 Another gay bad guy, too. Oh, yeah? Oh, you didn't pick it up on that? No. Oh, yeah. It's throughout. Yeah. He's looking at the blonde, like, Klaus Kinski-looking looking guy,
Starting point is 00:49:11 kind of giving him the eyes. Nice. Yeah. I'm into it. At one point, there's just a dick in his mouth. Yeah, yeah. I missed that. I think he's gay.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Which cut of the movie did you get? You know which cut. The uncircumcised. The uncircised. Good. Okay. Let's let's let's, let's, uh, so Bond finds out this guy's green, this guy, we get a, here's send some information back.
Starting point is 00:49:37 Where's that plane going? It's going to, where was it going, Brussels? Uh, uh, uh, uh, bell. What is going to someone? One of the bees. It's going to an opera. and James James tails him
Starting point is 00:49:52 Okay And this is where we meet our CIA This is where we find The Creepiest looking CIA agent I've ever seen Mustache Man Oh I love this guy though
Starting point is 00:50:05 I think he was I thought he was Zach Orth You know who Zach Worth? Oh yeah I know who Zach Worth is but no I thought he was like some comedian That they just got to play like a Yeah it seems like it He's a theater actor this guy
Starting point is 00:50:18 He's really good Also, that woman that helps him at the airport is Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter, I think. These are, you know, amazing things. I love all of the situations you're letting us in on. Tell me more. I want more. Yeah, so, yeah, Felix, Felix Leiter, we meet again. Felix Leiter, of course.
Starting point is 00:50:37 Catches his cell phone without looking at it. Yeah. Does one of these. That's a, he's the essence of cool. He's too, he's too method-acty. I just love it. What do you mean? I feel like Jeffrey Wright, correct?
Starting point is 00:50:53 Yeah. Jeffrey Wright. He's great. Yeah. I find his choice is interesting. He's always, he always makes a choice. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:03 So no one can ever accuse Jeffrey Wright of being Mark Wahlberg. He needs to do that thing that they say when you get all dressed up, you look in there and you take one thing off. He needs to take one choice away. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I agree with that. I agree with that.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Like, just lose the earrings. Like, I think the... Like the role is where he's where he's... him. He's not wearing the rule. Guys, I don't want everyone to be jealous, but Jonesy just texted me. You know, Jonesy from the sex pistols.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Did he say, Affleck as Batman? I wish he did. I wish that was on Jonesy's mind. No, but yeah, Jeffrey Wright, he does such a, he's such a dry, I don't know. I don't like his portrayal of Felix. You don't.
Starting point is 00:51:43 I don't like his portrayal of Felix. Even in Casino Royal. Casino Royale. Cassino Royale. Royal. It's Felix Leiter is who dies in license to kill.
Starting point is 00:51:57 He doesn't die. Clearly he doesn't die. Oh, that's right. He gets his legs bit off by a shark. Which happens to the best of us. Did you not see this Timothy Dalton, James Bond movie? You're looking at us confused. That's how my face looks.
Starting point is 00:52:12 It must have scared the living daylight. So he's like a known character in the universe. Yes. He's a buddy. And he's a cool guy. From Dr. No. Okay. From the original James Bond movie.
Starting point is 00:52:22 That's how long he's been in the... And is he normally played by a blackman? No. This is the first time he's been played by a blackman. I don't even know if Jeffrey was a black man. I think we're ready for a black James Bond. Where is our... When was he played by a fat man?
Starting point is 00:52:34 In Goldfinger. A heavier man. No. Yeah. No. Wait till you see it. You're going to see it next week and you're going to be like, Matt, I was wrong. It looks like Martin Balsam.
Starting point is 00:52:43 He's just a kind of a... No. I disagree. Okay. Just to catch you guys up. They're discussing whether or not a guy was heavy. This is an important discussion to have. Quality.
Starting point is 00:52:59 Here's the deal. Okay. Okay. Okay. Here's where James Bond gets super fucking detective awesome James Bondi. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He sees that these, the creepy-looking guys are getting a different gift bag than everybody else.
Starting point is 00:53:18 when he gets to that opera. Yeah. At first, this isn't even out of work savvy. He's just jealous. He's like, what are they doing?
Starting point is 00:53:24 He's like, there's probably couplings in there. There's an iPhone. Maybe some macaroons. Yeah. Malpals? Just two left. I don't know why they don't look.
Starting point is 00:53:35 Let's split them. Yeah. You and die. Oh. Whoever gets a bigger one. He does the, he does the most cliched thing
Starting point is 00:53:44 in the history of movies, which is, follow someone into a bathroom, leave bathroom person is knocked out in bathroom I like the breaking off of the door though yeah the strength of that would require to actually
Starting point is 00:53:55 do that he's got that in him at all points in time right we are lucky that he's not doing that every day yeah we're lucky that we're allies yeah and we're lucky that the tux fits like a glove like a glove well he did I did appreciate that shirtless gentleman looking for his tux
Starting point is 00:54:12 that was roughly the same build opening the lockers we need a little We need less this time. Maybe you don't say anything. Okay, ready. Action. Oh, wait.
Starting point is 00:54:23 I have malt bald. No, I'm sorry. It's like hung in the back of my throat. Okay, so, man, I'm doing a lot of explaining. Why don't you step in and explain the scene to the audience? So he goes up behind the scenes in this opera and he's looking at the audience and he sees that this chat is going on because he has the quantum earpiece, which we haven't even talked about quantum and how they stand in for Spectre. Yeah, quantum is standing in for Spectre. Classic Bond
Starting point is 00:54:48 organization. The organization of bond terror. But there's some legal issues right now where they can't be using Specter. But I actually like quantum.
Starting point is 00:54:58 It's cool to like quantum. Yeah, I like quantum. It's the only sense they've made out of that title, which I still need to talk about it. It doesn't make any sense. I can help with that.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Oh, okay. I did not until just now put that two and two together. Are you kidding? I am not. I am not. I am not. I don't think that you're qualified
Starting point is 00:55:16 to be on this. podcast. They made huge mistake and not explaining what Quantum of Solis means because otherwise you're left going well this group is called
Starting point is 00:55:23 quantum and then Quantum of Solis that makes no sense. Oh, I just thought of it as being an emotional state that James Bond arrives at the end. Right, it is. Just a little bit of it. But
Starting point is 00:55:32 just a quantum. We'll talk about it at the end. I got a few things. Yeah, but he gets the ear pierce. Here's these people talking and then just fucking James Bond's it where he's like,
Starting point is 00:55:44 he could have just kept it quiet. I'd make a suggestion. No, he's not. He needed them off to start to leave. He needed to leave. I know, yeah. But that's a hell of a camera. His phone he's got there. Well, it's from...
Starting point is 00:55:52 It's so dated. It's so cute. It's so... 2008 it is. Look at that little baby phone. It never could now. Yeah, like, they just need a teenager
Starting point is 00:55:59 to walk by with an iPhone and go, that's so 2000 late. Mr. White is badass. He just puts it in his pocket. Yeah, Mr. White just hangs out and goes, I guess the opera's not for everybody. Is the lady he says that too? With him in the deal?
Starting point is 00:56:12 Or is she just some woman sitting next to him? I think she was like, can you shut up and let me enjoy the fucking Opera Man? Why are you making jokes right now? But here's my thing. Let me enjoy the opera man. I love this Adam Sandler character. Why?
Starting point is 00:56:29 So that's their thing is that they go to the opera together and just talk in the audience. They're just like shitty audience members. Yeah, they are. They're not. Maybe every time we're in a movie. Yeah. Maybe. Every time we're in a movie. Comedy show. People are texting. They're doing something. They're quantum. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:56:45 They're holding the water. resources. Well, then we don't really have to worry about the American quantum because they look like dumbasses. They look like teenagers and dumb asses. Yeah, so they all get up and then he takes pictures. And then, silent chase.
Starting point is 00:57:03 Yeah, more sound design. Yeah, more of that sound design you're talking about. Silent gun firing and everything like that. So stark white under that opera house, by the way. Just like futuristic stark white under there. Yeah. It gets to the end and he knocks out. guy off a building, which is...
Starting point is 00:57:18 Al-a-Cairo? Yes, and for your eyes only. Yeah. Which made me think that maybe this movie, not many people like this movie, but I think over time this is going to do an Honor Her Majesty Secret Service thing where people start to like it more over time.
Starting point is 00:57:35 I agree. I agree. Which is a bold statement. Honor Majesty Secret Service hated. Oh, really? When it came out? Loved now. But now. Yeah. Why does that happen? Isn't that interesting?
Starting point is 00:57:44 People aren't ready for it or something? Time caught up with it. I also, yeah, I think people aren't ready for it. I mean, it has some flaws, but... Same thing's true with McGruber. Yeah, like, if I... Magruber's great. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:57:54 I've never seen it. Oh, my God. It's one of the best comedies. It's really funny. Yeah. It's so good. I'll leave now. Nut case.
Starting point is 00:58:00 Yeah, get out of here. Okay. Yeah, but, yeah, so he does that. And I let's the guy go. Favorite line from green happens. Is he one of Oz? No. Then he shouldn't be looking at me.
Starting point is 00:58:13 Jesus. Yeah, he's a fuss budget, that guy. He's a fuss budget. That's it. He's a fuss budget. What? What? What?
Starting point is 00:58:22 Does that mean I love it? You know what it means? Yeah, a fuss budget. It's Dominic Green. My mom used to say that to me. It's a great one. The fuss budget. She called me a pill.
Starting point is 00:58:33 Okay. So, this happens. M gets upset about it because it looks like he shot a guy point blank when he just really just threw him off of a roof. The guy was alive. Yeah. threw him onto a car. guys alive, no problems. Broke his fall.
Starting point is 00:58:49 Everybody's happy. And then, you know, greens people shoot him. And then gets a home call. Am's a little angry. Yeah, sure. It's not happy. Yeah. Is this the one where she's in her bathroom?
Starting point is 00:59:00 Well, yeah, running a bath. In the middle of the room. What a weird bathtub in the middle of the room. I know. It's truly a bathroom. Do you know how much sex her and her poetry-loving husband are probably having at that point? Did they ever show her husband? Yes.
Starting point is 00:59:13 In Casino Royale. Yes. She has a young, Latino. No, and he's dead by skyfall. Yeah. That sounded very ominous. Dead by skyfall? Dead by skyfall.
Starting point is 00:59:27 We have a good time, you guys. We really don't care if the audience is having a good time because we are. They're going to love it. Has this come out? No. No. No. We may not.
Starting point is 00:59:39 It may just be for us. Honestly, God, this might be just a trick for us to talk to James Bond. And to make me watch the James Bond movie. Yeah. We just need someone else to enjoy this with us. Okay, so credit cards gets frozen. He tries to buy a plane ticket. Deni.
Starting point is 00:59:55 Fucking, immediately just, I was like, anybody else says to that gate agent, someone's going to call. Can you tell them blah, blah, blah, blah. They're going to say, no, sir. But the way he delivered it to her, I was like, fuck, yeah. She wanted so much delivered to her. That's chaplain's granddad. That was chaplain.
Starting point is 01:00:16 Oh, okay. Or great grander. I can't remember it was great. She was, she was into it. She was DTF. Oh, my God. Good Lord. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:23 God, he should just be fucking everyone. Right there. So, somehow he gets to Italy. Right. We're not even sure. He's not far. It's not important. You know, it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 01:00:32 Get on a bicycle. Somebody gets to Italy. Has a Tom Ford sunglasses and a Tom Ford cardigan, which I love. I love this cardigan. Tom Ford's great. Great cardigan. Great sunglasses. And I remember.
Starting point is 01:00:46 arrives at Mathis's house. Yeah. Mathis from the first movie. Do you remember him in Casino Royale? No. Okay. I don't. It was left up in the air as to whether he was...
Starting point is 01:00:57 The leak or not, which he wasn't. It was Vesper. So here's... Love it. I love seeing Mathis again. Great actor. Really fun relationship, the two of them have. It's very...
Starting point is 01:01:11 It's like, it's very like... Not father son, but like big brother, little brother. Like Columbo and For Your Eyes Only or Karen Bay and from Russia. Yeah. He comes across these mentor figures every once in a while. I like it a lot. Yeah, I liked this quite a bit too. And he decides to go with James when his wife girlfriend...
Starting point is 01:01:34 I need your hands on my skin. Says that. The hard cut to them on the Virgin America play in a Virgin Atlantic. She seems like a nice lengthy. Don't you want to stay with her? But that was really funny. Also, by the way, I want to know, for a fact, guys, you've been traveling. Does that plane exist?
Starting point is 01:01:52 A bar? A bar on a plane? Yeah, those old, big, they used to have these, like, multi-level class. Have you ever been on one? I've never, I've had Virgin, like, business class, but I've never, international, I've never seen a bar on any of them. Have you? I need to know. Not personally, no.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Okay. Then I don't think they exist. Wait a minute. I've seen them in other TV shows, movies. But also, I know Virgin is about to start. offering no joke stand-up comedy on airlines. Jesus Christ. It's almost worse than like the...
Starting point is 01:02:22 No, that's worse than the Southwest. No, that's the Southwest flight attendant situation all over again. Hey, everybody, we can leave you at the gate, but I hate you. Something like that. I don't know. That was about as good as it is. So you get these nice little scenes sometimes in these Bond movies where I feel like one of the good writers comes in and puts a little character in. He comes up and they talk about Vesper.
Starting point is 01:02:45 do you want a sleeping pill? That scene. Like a pill to stay away? I have pills for everything. I have pills for everything. And then he drinks, what, seven? Six martinis. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:56 Six Vespers. Yeah. That guy playing the bartender bombs me out a little bit. I feel like he was a real mixologist who knows that shit. And they're like, come on, we'll put you in. You talk about it.
Starting point is 01:03:07 He stood out. He stuck out like a sore thumb. Whenever I watch things like that, I always go, all right, cut, nailed it. Let's move. Move on. I think we got it.
Starting point is 01:03:17 One take. I think we got it. We're losing light. We're in a set. Yeah. No, no, we're done. Losing light. I think we got the best thing of you we're going to get.
Starting point is 01:03:28 So we get to... We get to... Panama. No, they filmed it in Panama. Where does it take place, Bolivia? Bolivia. Yeah, Bolivia. We get to the airport.
Starting point is 01:03:37 We meet Miss Frost. Oh, yeah. Fields. Fields. Do you know what her full name is? Her full character? name? Strawberry Fields. Forever. Yes. She is so gorgeous. Jesus Christ. And that hair, I was like, I have to dye my hair red again. Do it. Just fucking do it. She has freckles. What's your name?
Starting point is 01:03:56 Gemma Archinton? That's her. But she's also wearing a raincoat and what looks like nothing. She looks like Carmen San Diego. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Carvin San Diego was super sexy. She was. Oh, okay. She's good in this, though. She's really good at it. Yeah. I love, love, love. the, let's go to the shitty hotel and then he's like, no, I'm not staying here. This is where, like, they got that part fixed in the script and, like, you can tell where the guy goes, well, I can only
Starting point is 01:04:25 concentrate on four places. I'll do this, this, this, and this. I'll make it, I'll give this movie some personality otherwise, what are we going to do? No, but that's so, we're teaching on sabbatical. We just won the lottery. It's so funny. Yeah. And then, what does he say to her? I can't find the... Help me find the stationery.
Starting point is 01:04:41 Oh, that, you know, is either improvised or written on the day. It's a great line. Just like, we're going to fuck. Yeah. So here's my, one of my big problems of this movie. Yeah. I can't imagine you had any, but go ahead.
Starting point is 01:04:52 55 minutes in with our first sexual encounter. Yeah, these newer ones don't, they don't, they don't. Well, why are they taking on the sex? I argue the following. I argue the following with this situation. His dick doesn't get up since he watched his girlfriend die. Wow, you're putting some real sub. Yeah, and he got a pill from Mathis.
Starting point is 01:05:12 It was not even. He got a pill from. from Mathis. But there were not even any opportunities for him to fuck before that. Because he didn't want to. He wanted no opportunities. He was upper adventures. Can I do something? Can I, I prefer a bond that likes to fuck and has a good time killing. But I'm with you. This guy is angry and he doesn't like to fuck. What are you doing here? I want James Bond to want to fuck. I think he is because I think at the end of Casino Royale when he says the bitch is dead, he's done emotionally with her and he's just back. He's like hate fucking. He's like, he's like stoic. Yeah, yeah. I kind of got that too. I remember that.
Starting point is 01:05:42 But you know what I also learned from Casino Royale? They had. to cut the scene where he's down on the floor with Solange in that bungalow. Yeah. It starts with her having an orgasm. Yeah. He's going down on her. Yeah. Well, that's fun.
Starting point is 01:05:54 Yeah, I know. Which is new for Bond. He never gives, he never goes down on girls. You don't get that feeling. He never goes back to the salt lines. You know he's not going down on any girls. Yeah, he should. But he, Daniel Craig one does.
Starting point is 01:06:05 He's the best, you know? He's the best. We revere him so much. He's a model. He's a model of chauvinism. and brute brute strength looking good
Starting point is 01:06:17 and Tom Ford okay help me find the stationery followed by we're at this party yeah
Starting point is 01:06:23 James Bond stuff Blobody blah Blabody blah Her dress said that party by the way No Strawberry Fields yeah
Starting point is 01:06:27 Yeah it's weird I didn't like it I thought maybe it was a joke where he made it out of like He made it out of the curtains Because they
Starting point is 01:06:33 talked about We need to get you a dress He made it out of the stationery It's the bed sheets Yeah There's clearly Jiz stains on it
Starting point is 01:06:41 That's what the front was Yeah Okay, so then they have to leave the party, him in Bolivia girl, Camille, leaving a nice roll of Rangerover, open the door, Mathis is there. Yeah, this is odd. This is an odd scene. Mathis's death scene. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:02 It is weird to see him so cold to Mathis. It's also, it's weird that, that's Chris Feely. That's Chris Feely. Who? That's the CFO of nerdist industries. I was just on the phone We have a CFO Oh wow
Starting point is 01:07:16 Would you like a job? Sure I'll talk to him Yeah So, okay Uses Mathis as a human shield He doesn't Mean to
Starting point is 01:07:29 Because they go He's moving Like does he not mean He's already died? He's already died Because I think those guys have orders To kill both of them Okay
Starting point is 01:07:36 And they're planning Because he's like Oh he's moving I think there was a whole ruse Do you think? I don't know This is where it gets real interpret this is Kubrickian.
Starting point is 01:07:46 Yeah, I don't... Is that how we're going to describe it? Yeah, I don't know how to take it. I could take it, I guess take it either way. Because when he says he moves, all he's doing is going... Yeah, yeah. It's not like he's a threat. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:57 They're saying, oh, no, we're in danger. Boom, boom. Yeah. Okay. I got you. It's just throwing him in the dumpsters. The throwing in duststers that we... Because the soap...
Starting point is 01:08:07 I will just wonder, before we do that, let's just talk about how touching that death scene is. Yeah. It is a very touching. It's super touching. Just hold me. Mm-hmm. he does and I'm just like oh man
Starting point is 01:08:16 my heart breaks for you and James is like you know you can forgive yourself why does it get the forgiving yourself I love when people who are dying are like let me tell you what to do before I die
Starting point is 01:08:29 and then anything for me I'm my way out no no just a dumpster you cool with the dumpster also I'm going to take your cash why does he do that he has to do it so he can get the plane ride on a plane that he can fly himself I just feel like there had to be
Starting point is 01:08:43 and to me I don't know Bond that well, but to me I was like, this is how far he's gone, where he's just, like, cut off. But that doesn't really work with the touching death scene that just happened. Like, I thought maybe it was like a sense of like, no life means anything. No life is not important to me, not even my friends. But I don't know, it didn't work for me. Those two scenes next to each other did not work for me. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:04 I think he's basically going, once he's dead, he's dead. And we all know that, like, when you're a spy, your body's just forget. He wouldn't care about his body. Yeah. Sure. But his little Italian super tan lady back home in a brown bathing suit right care, you know? That's much old hands on by skin. Bathing suit is brown as her skin.
Starting point is 01:09:23 And leathery. Yes. Thanks, Johnny. You're welcome. So hot in Burbank. Ed, have you seen this? Okay. Then they have to get on a plane.
Starting point is 01:09:38 Yeah, and then it gets real CG again. God damn. I know. You see, he has a, he has a C. CG detector almost as good almost as good as his wig detector. Yeah. Oh, you have a good wig detector? Great wigged are. That CFO guy?
Starting point is 01:09:51 No way. No, that was guessed on. No wig at all. No other guy. Yeah. That came up. Neither one. He could have had a wig. Yeah. He could have used one. Okay. Beautiful. I thought it was a beautiful, beautifully shot. Yeah. Plain fight sequence. Yeah. All right. Well, we agree. They crash into a sinkhole, a conveniently established. a sinkhole after their parachute opens 30 feet above the ground.
Starting point is 01:10:16 They're like, that's a sinkhole? I was like, oh, is that going to come up again? Or are you just helping us out? With some geography. I was like, why are we talking about a sinkhole? Well, we found out. I might have been playing Animal Crossing during the scene.
Starting point is 01:10:29 It's okay. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. I was playing solitaire or something. Okay, so flight, that's all well and good. I like when they take off in that old giant plane that they just They take off past a sort of new
Starting point is 01:10:46 Cessna that would be a much easier plane to sort of fly and get away. You think it'd be cheaper. Yeah, I feel like it would be cheaper. Although a Ranger was worth like $50,000. Anyway. Oh, one other thing that bothered me about this. It's just taken, forgiven that Bond is a pilot.
Starting point is 01:11:05 I don't like that kind of he does everything in the world kind of thing. But doesn't it? No, but he, here's my... Old Bond, like Roger Moore Bond does, you know? Yeah. He's a naval commander. We've seen every James Bond fly, though. They all fly planes?
Starting point is 01:11:20 We've seen every single James Bond fly. It just feels a little like... He's a naval commander, yes. But the Navy, I assume, has some sort of air presence. The Navy's got some sort of air presence. That's true. So you've got to learn how to fly planes and ships. Yeah, I don't doubt it.
Starting point is 01:11:36 I don't doubt it. That's probably training they sort of like... That's probably like fourth week training. Because that's the easiest way to take something, like killing the pilot, that's the easiest way to crash and plane. You've got to get ready for that. If you're going to be a spy, you kind of need to be able to fly-hage. Yeah. I feel like that's a thing you need to know. Right after Emily tells you to get loose
Starting point is 01:11:51 before you fall. It's loosening it up. Now we're going to go over the flight of a DC-10 aircraft from 1938. Do me a favor. Pretend you're asleep. Just pretend you're asleep right now. Okay, so that plane crashes
Starting point is 01:12:09 great. They end up in a cave. They go, oh my God, it's water. That's what they're looking for. Yeah. also you hear about their revenge stories. Yes. Yeah. They tell each other. That's their,
Starting point is 01:12:19 that's their fucking. That's their version of fucking. They really don't. That's their version of fucking. Yeah. And this is when the plot turns into the plot of Rango, which I was texting. It's all about water.
Starting point is 01:12:33 No spoilers. It's just all about like a bad guy's hoarding all the water. Yeah. It's a little bit of a letdown. I feel like because we, it was always. It is because you don't get anywhere else. else with quantum. No, you get everywhere with quantum.
Starting point is 01:12:48 It's everywhere you want to be. Off camera, green tells bond everything. But we don't get anything. I want to know what all they're into. I don't want them to drop this. They better not. They really shouldn't. I know.
Starting point is 01:13:04 It's a real problem. Especially if you don't want to pay purpose and wave anymore. Oh, God. But he comes back to the hotel. Yes. He comes back to the hotel for. a little Judy time. And there's a nod to Goldfinger.
Starting point is 01:13:18 It's not just a nod. It's a blatant reference. She's covered, she's dead and covered in oil. In the exact position that the girl was painted gold and Goldfinger. And then this is the first time I've noticed this. When he's walking around the hotel, the score echoes Goldfinger.
Starting point is 01:13:33 It goes, pup, bup, bup, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, these things in the opening of Goldfinger. Oh, I have to read. That little, like, tin horn. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. I'm going to go re-watch you. Yeah, I never noticed that. I like David Arnold.
Starting point is 01:13:45 So James hands over his gun. Yeah. No badge because he's a secret agent. Yeah. And gets handcuffed and gets in the elevator with three dudes and then takes them all out in 12 seconds, which is fucking awesome. It is really great. Can I say something? If you got Bond, never take the elevator.
Starting point is 01:13:58 Just always take the stairs. Keep him out of the open. Yeah, I've never seen him enjoy. I've never seen anyone get in an elevator with him and get out of the elevator. Nobody gets out of the elevator. Don't get in the elevator with Bond. Yeah, it's, uh, yeah. And then there's like this little.
Starting point is 01:14:12 comic like yeah there's this fun more fun comedy scene yeah I like that I like that too this was maybe one of my favorite scenes because it seemed like fun yeah it was like people are and then you can see em's like no I'm kind of alright yeah no this game is good stuff in this movie yeah I think people forget yeah yeah I agree with you totally yeah but I like how she's immediately like he's on to something
Starting point is 01:14:35 yeah clearly if he he would not have taken out three people in an elevator if he wasn't on to something yeah yeah so let's let him go yeah let's see what Let's go. Even though I took his gun, let's just let him go. Let's go. Well, he did take a gun back. He did. A burrata.
Starting point is 01:14:51 Maybe a nod. No. Okay. So, from this point of the thing we have to do now go, do we find out, is this when he finds out? No, this is when he meets Felix Leiter. Funny that the American guys are staying in the shitty hotel he turned down. I didn't notice that. I didn't notice that either.
Starting point is 01:15:12 That's really great. I thought that was so hard. This is why we're doing this podcast. We're teaching each other. We're getting nuggets of information. That made so much sense, and I really, really thought it was funny. That's great. Okay.
Starting point is 01:15:28 Felix Lider. I don't know how I feel about this scene. You've got 30 seconds. Yeah. In the Perlis Delaus Lunas. Yeah, it's like James Bond's trying to teach morals or something. I don't know. I don't get it.
Starting point is 01:15:44 They're buddies. They helped each other before. Yeah. Now they're sort of helping. Oh, yeah. Well, I guess the point of this is Felix tells him where the shit's going down. Which is exactly what they told him to tell him. No.
Starting point is 01:15:57 Right? No. I can't imagine that's what they told him. Weren't they waiting for him? No. No, he was basically betraying his government in some way. Yeah. He was going to help out his buddy.
Starting point is 01:16:05 But isn't the... Okay, maybe there's... Maybe I was watching this part of it today. But when he walks away and he's like, what did you tell him? He's like, exactly what I was supposed to. Is what Felix says. to the other guy. Yeah, I mean, he says that,
Starting point is 01:16:17 but I think that's just a clever ruse. So what was he supposed to do him? Not much. Not right, fair enough. That's all. He was just supposed to go there to keep him there so they could catch him. So they could kill him.
Starting point is 01:16:26 Okay. All right, fair enough. And then when he says that to his superior, he's not lying. No, certainly not. That's true. Everything I was supposed to. In here.
Starting point is 01:16:36 In here. Pointing at my heart, everybody. It's a podcast. Then we get to the desert. Yeah, we get to the desert hotel. Which is like an astronomer. Astronomer's observatory in the high desert of Chile That this place is surrounded by no city
Starting point is 01:16:50 So it's the best place on Earth to look at stars That's gorgeous It's also very flammable I have issues with that It's a most flammable place on it Like you could see that come in the middle The minute they go oh this place runs in fuel cell Yeah
Starting point is 01:17:03 Oh it's also is there a sinkhole there Is there a sinkhole in fuel cells? Oh okay I'm sure this won't come up later They'll be a quiz So we see the We see the plot come to fruition Guys, a little bit of a heart
Starting point is 01:17:19 Where he doesn't want to sign the thing That doubles the price of water Such a bar. Oh, I felt that was all ego Like he just didn't like to be bested Yeah, yeah He got bested Oh, I thought it might have been a little bit of heart
Starting point is 01:17:31 Yeah He just, he does bad things in this movie He's not like that. He does all the bad things in this movie And they all just involve raping Yeah, with a beer Yeah He's a gross dude
Starting point is 01:17:41 Yeah He is a, well, I mean, I'm sure he's a lovely gentleman on his own. He's a rapist. Oh, wait, I don't. Yeah, if you're a rapist, you're right. But guys, Mike Tyson's really changed. We're all supporting that now. You say tomato?
Starting point is 01:17:55 Did you see him in the hangover? I mean, come on. Okay, so. Ah, yes, okay. Here it is. Police chief is there. Police chief gets paid off. Green is there.
Starting point is 01:18:09 Make some sign of thing for the utilities. We have this land. Guess what we found under here? 60% of your water. Boom. Suck it. Quantum wins. You errant.
Starting point is 01:18:19 You errant, bitch. Nothing's going to happen. Meanwhile, outside James Bond is explaining what it's like to kill to a secret agent. Yeah, I thought this was a little condescending. Why did he do this to her? I don't know. And maybe he just meant what it's like to kill someone who you actually have invested. I think that's emotional investment in it.
Starting point is 01:18:37 Yeah, because she really does. He does say that. He says, yeah. When you kill person. for personal yeah yeah he because she
Starting point is 01:18:44 has no problem taking out the guards yeah she takes out like millions of people on her way there to get to the guy yeah okay
Starting point is 01:18:51 does that happen no the first thing that happens it's so many things so many things happen it's when he jumps down on when he jumps down on the Land Rover
Starting point is 01:18:59 is awesome because he says we have a mutual friend boom then then rides it in and peels off well that blows up
Starting point is 01:19:10 into the The fuel cell thing. And then has a great gun fight. Yeah. And then everybody's fine. Solid. I just pictured, like, the guys in the car when he drops down and says that line and being like, I'm sorry, what did he say? And then like, too late you're dead.
Starting point is 01:19:22 What a not? Because at first you'd like get your gun. But, oh, no, he needs to talk to us. Oh, okay. You just fell. I'm sorry. We have friends? He's in danger.
Starting point is 01:19:29 We got a mutual friend. So great. So great. Also, he wants him to know that before he dies. But he doesn't say who the friend is. So it's not like the guy's getting his like. No, there's nothing coming out of that. He died thinking, who?
Starting point is 01:19:44 He died thinking, what did you say? I don't even think he understood. Jimmy got a high school together. I don't understand. We are in the middle of nowhere. What are you doing here? There's a reunion. He died thinking, how is Jimmy?
Starting point is 01:20:00 Where's your Jimmy? I heard he lost weight. I heard he lost a lot of weight. Okay. Have you seen him? meanwhile stuff such exploding
Starting point is 01:20:11 yeah Dominic Green I feel like seemingly knowingly positions his buddy in front of a fuel cell oh definitely 100% he sacrifices that guy
Starting point is 01:20:21 well not even sacrificing just like you stand right here he points a gun yeah like defend me while I run along yeah yeah yeah it was pretty crazy hello
Starting point is 01:20:29 so okay great that happens then we get to see the the fight between Green and Bond. I love this fight. Dominic Green fights exactly like you want him to fight.
Starting point is 01:20:45 Yes, like a little bit. Like the little craziest motherfucker. His teeth are bare the whole time. It's kind of amazing. And he takes an axe to the toe. Yeah. Oh my God. It's just so painful and I've never seen that in anything.
Starting point is 01:20:57 And I was like, oh, great. Good job, you guys. I know. I don't, here's my thing. I don't know that it would stop there. Do you know what I mean? I don't know if the ax blade would stop right there. It would go all the way.
Starting point is 01:21:07 I feel like it would go for a little while longer. Cloven. You'd have cloven. Yeah, yeah. But then he... Jesus Christ. I loved it. Yeah, it was great.
Starting point is 01:21:15 I loved... Not even... Not that. What I loved is him pulling green back up by his hair. Just fucking like... Green's like, this guy's gonna kill me right now. I'll say this mean thing about his girlfriend. And Bond for the first time decides I'm going to get information from somebody.
Starting point is 01:21:34 Yeah, he really was not interested in that at any point in time. See if you can clear up a mistake. I think I found. Okay. So there's a gunshot. Do it do. Golly mistakes. And Green says,
Starting point is 01:21:45 looks like you just lost another one. Yes. You know? Yeah. He doesn't know she's there. It's a couple of few things going on. How does he also know her, the backstory,
Starting point is 01:21:56 the bond, like losing, like. Oh, he knows that because that's all quantum. Okay. All right. Oh, that's right. Okay. That's all organized by quantum.
Starting point is 01:22:04 I think you're right then. Mistake. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if that's a mistake or if that suggests him assuming that she must also be there. And why are we assuming that she's the one getting shot? Come on, guys. Well, he's the same.
Starting point is 01:22:19 He's the worst. I've read that there's a lot more to this movie and then they really paired it down. I want a director's cut. You want to see a director's cut? You are the only one, I think. No, I'm on board. You want two. I mean, I guess this is a director's cut in some ways, but I want the longer version.
Starting point is 01:22:34 Because there's also a deleted scene at the end with Mr. White, where they deal with Mr. White. Oh, I want to see that. I want to see that. They never released it because they want to use them again or something. That guy also shit talks these productions. Have you heard that? No. He doesn't like them and he's unhappy with doing them and thinks they're like shitty and, yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:53 So I don't know if he'll be back. Wow. Interesting. You don't talk about the broccoli is like that. No, you don't because they're good. Not when Barbara Broccoli is involved. She's so hot. She is?
Starting point is 01:23:03 Are we going to agree with this right now? Barber Broccoli is fucking gorgeous. And she, what is she, she's got to be in her 50s, right? Oh, she's much older than she looks. Show me a picture. Or just, gorely, you draw me one. Okay. It's just, it's just hearts and a boob.
Starting point is 01:23:19 Who's going to go, who's going to get there first? Right now, Matt Meyer is looking up a picture of Barbara Broccoli on his eye telephone while Matt Goorley is drawing a picture. Barbara Barber Broccoli is 53 years old, okay? Ooh, that looks like a, we are pretty good, Matt Goarley. Here she is at the Skyfall premiere, 53 years old. Whoa, damn, she has like a very young face. She's got, what she's got is... Mine looks like a white walker, but...
Starting point is 01:23:47 When I look at them side by side... I'm not gonna lie, Matt, much better than I thought it would be. It's not bad. It's not bad. She looked good. She looks great. Let me see. That's amazing. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:57 That's because Cubby married a trophy wife. Is that right? And that's how you get hot kids. You marry a trophy right. Do you want hot kids? I don't know that you want hot kids, but I don't know that you want hot kids, but I think that It's just the situation. You worry you'll be too attracted to him.
Starting point is 01:24:11 You know? Yeah. Is this her husband? Because she can do better. I worry. Is that Daniel Craig you were looking at? Because no one can do better. Rachel Weiss.
Starting point is 01:24:22 She can do better. So Bonn takes green out to the desert. Yes, he does. Gives and oil. And he hears all about quantum. So this is essentially resolved in some sense. We know the story. Oh, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:24:35 We don't. We should print out a picture of Barbara and put it. up here. I'm just saying. Two things. One, we didn't talk about, she, what's her face? Finally got to kill. We skipped over the panty scene. We skipped over the panty scene. Both of you guys' favorites.
Starting point is 01:24:47 We skipped over when she, the woman, like, runs at her to get away and she just shunts her aside. She's like, really manhandles her because in my head, I was like, that's going to be a moment because she's sitting outside listening to this happening. And she's like, I'm going to go in there and be like, you get out of here. She's been through that. Yeah. No, I think it's more or less, I think it's more her saying, get the fuck out of here.
Starting point is 01:25:06 She really. You get the fuck out of here. No, I think it's like you've been through some shit. I know what just happened to you. Get the fuck out of here. Well, it didn't happen. You saw this panties. I know what almost happened to you, but luckily you saw your panties.
Starting point is 01:25:16 You know, when you get raped, I don't think that they pull them aside. I'm doing a hand gesture that's terrible. But I don't think that happens. I think they do remove. Good to know. You know what? Let's just move on. Probably different.
Starting point is 01:25:26 Different strokes. Different strokes. Different strokes. Different folks. Well, right then. We all agree. It's the worst thing that can happen to you. It's terrible. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:31 And maybe, maybe rape jokes aren't funny. Is it the only rape in other than Bond actually kind of date raping Poussigalore? Is it the only like threatened rape in a Bond movie? I can't remember. You guys should keep account of that for sure. Yeah, we should. I don't recall any, like. It's very, and it goes on for a long time too.
Starting point is 01:25:53 It's very, I was like, all right, I'm ready for this to be. When you said that, I just realized who the CAA boss reminds me of. Who? That made me not like him. This better connect to rape in some way. It does. All right. Sarah Conner's guard in Terminator 2 that straps her down and licks her face.
Starting point is 01:26:11 That guy is such a fucking, I hated that guy. But they have the same hair doing the same mustache. Now, in one of the silliest bond movies, Diamonds are Forever, in the book, Tiffany Case, is brutally gang raped. Oh, my God. Her name is Tiffany. Yes, she likes diamonds. They are forever. They are forever.
Starting point is 01:26:32 They must stimulate and tease me. I got it from here. Okay, damn. That's my Jay-Z. It's a great song. It really is. Diamonds from Sierra Leone. The remix.
Starting point is 01:26:45 It's a barma. I'm still on my phone. You should make that your lock screen. So, okay, they're out in the desert. We're back in the desert. Yeah, we're back in the... Well, the rape scene resolved. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:55 And they're going to die. And they're going to die. And he's ready to put a bullet through both of their heads. Yeah. And that quickly, it's over. Yeah. He's ready to go. I'm satisfied.
Starting point is 01:27:06 Yeah. You're satisfied. Let's do this. Let's not die in a fire. Let's fucking blow our brains out. Let's Hitler, Eva, Bron, this shit. Okay. Other people have done that too.
Starting point is 01:27:17 Yeah, except in a fire. Good point. Good point. Sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. Let's bask. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 01:27:29 Here's what we got. Hydrogen fuel cell becomes exposed. then James goes, we don't have to die. Look at this. We can get burned alive. Pugh, pew, phew. Why doesn't... That's a good gun noise.
Starting point is 01:27:47 They're like snowflakes. Every guy is a different gun noise. What's yours? I think Gourley might have... Oh, his wins, yeah. I mean, Eagle O'Gorley is the best gun slinger in the West. The best audio gunslinger since Michael Winslow. Machine gun noises?
Starting point is 01:28:02 Yeah, what kind of do you want? Machine gun. There's your husband. Shut up, Kumail! Hey Camel Haemale Ha Haemle
Starting point is 01:28:12 Me? Camel loves one of us He lost Matt Corley It's me Okay Whoa It is one of my That is amazing
Starting point is 01:28:23 To do to get my guy friends To do their machine gun noises Oh that helps That's a This is a very specific Okay This is a helicopter mini gun Oh
Starting point is 01:28:37 I'll get you the helicopter While you're shooting All right Ready to go Desperable. I guess my vagina drying up. Oh, I can do that. Ladies and gentlemen, her panties are still on.
Starting point is 01:29:07 That was maybe my favorite thing that I've ever been to witness to. Okay. Okay. Let's wrap this up. Home stretch. We're in the home stretch here. Bonn and Camille have a nice last scene in the car. They kiss?
Starting point is 01:29:19 They kiss. He tries to kiss her and she stops him, right? No, they kiss. They kiss. But it's not like she pulls away. I think. I think they both. They both get in there.
Starting point is 01:29:28 Watch it again. She's like, no, I'm reading her mind. Her mind is, I could love you, but you're still kind of damaged. You're broken, yeah, I can't do this. Yeah, you can kiss someone even if they're broken. Yeah, but she just, because then she goes, you're something in there. I can't remember what she says or something. You're not going to comparison.
Starting point is 01:29:46 Yeah. So what does Bond find out from Quantum? And then what does he find out from Yusuf at the end? We don't know. We don't know. And I'm okay that we don't know. But, well, you know what we found? You know what he found?
Starting point is 01:29:59 Yeah. He did find it. That's what it is. Seriously. Yeah. I think it's an incredibly gratifying. I agree. It's a very gratifying scene at the end of the movie where he explains to the Canadian Secret Service girl.
Starting point is 01:30:11 I love it. What's happening. Yeah. She, I love that she can say, thank you. Yeah. She just was like, all right. Yeah. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:30:21 Thank you. And then leaves. In, there's a short story called Quantum of Solace. Have you read it? in the, for your eyes only collection. Bond is at a party, and this old, like, a captain or military guy tells the story of two friends, a married couple, and how they hate each other, and they just rip each other's, like, self-confidence to shreds, and that their relationship had to end because it had no quantum of solace, no measure of comfort.
Starting point is 01:30:44 And that's what it comes from. That's lovely. And he gets it at the end, but here's the thing. Let me throw this out to you guys. There were only so many Fleming titles left. Yes, correct. Uh, Riscoe. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:30:57 No one's going to do that. No. Hildebrand, the Hilderbrand rarity. You could kind of love that. Maybe if there's a girl named Hilderbrand? 007 in New York. Wouldn't have worked for this. This would have only worked for the second movie. Quantum of Solis.
Starting point is 01:31:13 And finally, Property of a Lady. Oh, I think is a better title for this movie because of the necklace. And they could have incorporated it more in the story. Yeah. They reference that title in Octopocy. in the auction, but he's never had a movie title. I think this movie should have... I think if you're a scumbag dude,
Starting point is 01:31:31 get a couple of different necklaces. I also like that... That's all. Like, don't give out the same necklace. Yeah, I like to think that quantum manufacturers that necklace. Yeah, they give it out for their people. That's what I like to think.
Starting point is 01:31:43 Yeah. But here, I like that Judy Dench, and pretty much M.I.6 is just waiting outside to... If he kills her. If he kills them, all right. Yeah. Yeah, they're fine with that.
Starting point is 01:31:57 It's like they're giving him the gift of like his... Get your revenge. You've done such a good job, Jimmy. You've killed so many other people. Jimmy, Jim, come on, man. They've done such a good job that we're going to let you, well, if you need to, just go for it. I so badly, because he walks off and he tosses the necklace,
Starting point is 01:32:13 and I wanted Skyfall to open with M wearing the necklace. She's like, I know a deal with it. And it's just torturing. Every day he has to see that. That would be fucking phenomenal. Then we see the gun barrel situation, which obviously three movies now. It's at the end instead of at the beginning. And he walks away.
Starting point is 01:32:33 This is the only time this happens. If you watch it long enough and it shrinks and shrinks and he does his shooting. And then he's just like, whatever. And he walks out of the O. Oh, yeah? Yeah. That was just an out-take that they accidentally left in. He's good to notice.
Starting point is 01:32:47 You guys are noticers. We are. We have some bond noticers. And note takers. I'm done. I covered all my notes. Now, Emily, have we swayed your piece? of this movie at all. Do you like it more or less
Starting point is 01:32:58 now that we've discussed it? I think I might like it more. My only thing is it just didn't feel very fun to me. Yeah, I think that's what it's missing. And I know that like, I know that you have to go through different, like, you've got to have a gritty bond and a really angsty bond or whatever, but like, I just, the movies are supposed to be at their core, like, it's a super
Starting point is 01:33:14 fucking cool guy who's super sexy and I didn't get any. There's no quantum of humor. There's no quantum of humor. There's no quantum of, like, sexy other than just looking at him, which is great, but like, I get to use more fun. But I didn't dislike it. Casino Rail has all that. And there's no reason this one can't as well.
Starting point is 01:33:31 Yeah. What, you dark and brooding? Get the fuck over it. You're James Bond. Fuck some girls. Yeah. More than one. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:38 That's as good a line to close on as any. I think so. Emily, thank you for joining. Emily Gordon, do you have anything to plug? I have a podcast called the Endor Kids. Which you guys are going to tape right now.
Starting point is 01:33:49 Right now. So listen up right after this. It's coming up. It's coming up on your, whatever you're listening to it will come up. Probably be out weeks before this. Could we? follow you on Twitter?
Starting point is 01:33:57 You can follow me on Twitter at The Gynomite. That's T-H-E-G-Y-N-O-M-I-T. I always pronounce it Gynomite. Me too. I know, trust me. I have this conversation. If I thought about this when I set on my Twitter profile years ago, I probably would not. I really just thought it was some sort of feminist.
Starting point is 01:34:11 I'm a dynamite vagina. That is, it is my burlesque dance name. Yeah, but even then. Gynomites! Dynamite vagina. I was in an H-N with my friend and that we were like... Dancing? No.
Starting point is 01:34:24 That would be a great bond name. Dynamite vagina. Yeah. Yeah. It's a little subtle. Vagina mite. Is it any more subtle than Holly Goodhead? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:33 Well, my favorite line was, I guess I've always wanted to have Christmas or turkey. No, it is, I guess Christmas only comes once a year. All right, I'm so sorry. Worst. I'll see myself out. I'm so sorry, I'll go. We agree that that is fucking, there was an audible groan. And are you also saying that to Denise Richards?
Starting point is 01:34:50 Because go fuck yourself. Yeah. Worst Bond Girl, worst Bondline. What are you doing? Get heroin in here. I disagree. Not the worst bond girl. Who?
Starting point is 01:34:58 Hallie Barry. Oh shit. I'll fight you on that. Just on natural beauty alone. No. You'll see. You'll see. She guys box off as poison that woman.
Starting point is 01:35:07 Look at her cheese. Halliberry. These days? Horrible. That hair cut. That haircut. That haircut on her. The die another day
Starting point is 01:35:14 Hallieberry haircut made her fucking cheek bones look like just two spires. Look, I don't think she's great. Is that good or bad? I actually don't know. She looked like a fucking. fucking alien. She looks like a
Starting point is 01:35:28 fucking alien in that movie. Beautiful. Beautiful. Next up, everybody, is Goldfinger with Allie and Georgia. Yeah. Goldfinger.
Starting point is 01:35:37 That'll be a fun one. In the meantime, get out there and fuck somebody. In the meantime, get out there and get in there and watch some James Bond movies. Yeah, we'll see you next week. Mowballs. Now Leavingnerdist.com.
