Matt and Matt.
Matt and Matt.
Von bonding.
I'm sorry.
James bonding.
Wait, that's not it.
It's close enough.
Hi, Emily.
Hi.
Hello.
Welcome.
Yeah.
There's two of us.
I don't hear you as much as I want to hear you.
I know.
I want to hear me more all the time.
Matt and Matt and Matt.
Oh, that's better.
Matt and Matt.
That was better.
Matt and Matt.
Matt.
are bonding
shaken
We're not just bonding with each other Emily
We're bonding with you
Yeah
Over the over the 22nd bond feature
That's right
Quantum of Solis
The much maligned
Much maligned
Yeah
Just it's a combination of words
That title
I can talk about that
Let's do it
You want to talk about that title
Well well yeah
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
Yeah
It was
How did you enjoy your ride
I loved that though
Yeah
I loved that
I did too
That was as solid
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
More sense.
She's thinking about
saying goodbye
to Tits McGee.
And your anger.
All of your anger.
All of your rage.
Say goodbye.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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%.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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,
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%.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Holy shit.
Whoa,
you're getting it
from multiple people.
Wow.
Who are these?
You're like Robert Woodward
who has these
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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,
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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?
Yeah.
Jeffrey Wright.
He's great.
Yeah.
I find his choice is interesting.
He's always, he always makes a choice.
Yes.
Yeah.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Let's split them.
Yeah.
You and die.
Oh.
Whoever gets a bigger one.
He does the,
he does the most
cliched thing
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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,
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...
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
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?
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?
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.
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.
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...
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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...
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...
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?
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
and Tom Ford
okay
help me find
the stationery
followed by
we're at this
party
yeah
James Bond stuff
Blobody blah
Blabody blah
Her dress said that party
by the way
No
Strawberry Fields
yeah
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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...
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, because she really does.
He does say that.
He says, yeah.
When you kill person.
for personal
yeah
yeah
he because she
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
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
is awesome
because he says
we have a mutual friend
boom
then then rides it in
and peels off
well that
blows up
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
yeah
Dominic Green
I feel like
seemingly knowingly
positions his buddy
in front of a fuel cell
oh definitely
100% he sacrifices that guy
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, except in a fire.
Good point.
Good point.
Sorry.
I don't know what I was thinking.
Let's bask.
Okay.
Okay.
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.
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?
Yeah, what kind of do you want?
Machine gun.
There's your husband.
Shut up, Kumail!
Hey Camel
Haemale
Ha
Haemle
Me?
Camel loves one of us
He lost Matt Corley
It's me
Okay
Whoa
It is one of my
That is amazing
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
Yeah.
What, you dark and brooding?
Get the fuck over it.
You're James Bond.
Fuck some girls.
Yeah.
More than one.
Yeah.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
Look at her cheese.
Halliberry.
These days?
Horrible.
That hair cut.
That haircut.
That haircut on her.
The die another day
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
fucking alien in that movie.
Beautiful.
Beautiful.
Next up, everybody,
is Goldfinger with
Allie and Georgia.
Yeah.
Goldfinger.
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.
