James Bonding - Tomorrow Never Dies Commentary

Episode Date: November 13, 2024

Matt likes this film, Matt doesn’t as much. Guess who’s who. But the worst Bond film is still better than the best non-Bond film, so let’s at least celebrate that with a feature-length commentary. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Matt and Matt and Matt and James Bonding Podcast I'm Matt Gordley Gore Oh hell here we are That laugh can only mean one thing It's a commentary episode

Welcome to James Bonding, I'm Matt I'm Matt This day had to come You know I kept saying we could just do it tomorrow But as we learn from this film Tomorrow never dies Eventually tomorrow does die into today, which is when I die, when I have to do this Bond film.

I love that you're already in the best mood possible to watch the film you don't want to watch. I know. It's Monday morning. It's 9, well, like 10 a.m. I was just telling Matt that last night, my wife and I saw Mid-Summer and then watched the documentary on that young girl that tried to get her or did get her young boyfriend to kill himself. So I had horrible dreams and I woke up. One of the nightmares I had was that I would have to watch tomorrow and ever dies. It turns out it's true. I'm just kidding. Try to wake up.

Wake up. So you're in a dream. You're in a dream. I'm still finishing my coffee. You're in another nightmare. No, I am not here to just shit on this movie because as we know, even our least favorite Bond films are still better than our favorite other movies. Just like the worst day fish and still better than the best day working.

Oh, you have said a mouthful and you've said it all correctly. That's how I feel about every single one of these commentaries. I'll sit through, you know, I won't sit through a thunderball. It's just too long. But you're going to have to at some point, friend. That's so true. This will be revisited on you, tenfold, and longer. So, I mean, really, what is there to say?

You guys, if you've listened to this podcast before, you know that relatively at least, this is my least favorite Bond movie. And on my end, I think it's one of the better films across the board. I'm glad because I don't, I don't want to make this a negative thing all the way through, because who wants to watch a commentary where someone's just taking the shit out of it? Taking the shit out of it? Taking the piss out of it.

You know, people have built a career out of that. Joel Hodgson. Yeah, but that's... All right. Well, well, you know, let's just see what'll happen. Yeah, let's see what'll happen. Sure. Should we get to it?

Here's how we do it. Yeah. We're going to play the first roar of the MGM lion right now. Then everybody will pause. You should do the same thing. Play it. Pause it. And then we'll sink the second roar.

together and then we're on our way. So get your divvities, strems, or downloaded copies ready. Yeah, here we go. Okay, that was your first roar. Yeah, and now Matt, you want to count us in? Oh, I'd love to. Everybody on play, we're going to hit play. Okay, everyone, get ready. Get your digits ready on those hover fingers. What? We're going to play. Three, two, one, play.

Oh, yeah. I hope you're all synced up. United Artists, here we come. Yeah. Oh, no, I forgot. This is part of the, uh, no, no, this is the newer United Artist logo. I was going to say, I thought it was the Columbia thing. I'm a juggie, but it's not.

This is our first David Arnold score, right? Uh, so there's something to look forward to there. I believe so, yeah. Yeah. Okay, let's just, I want to talk about this right off the bat. We're getting a great gun barrel sequence. Two. Oh, and listen to this.

Hold on. I read about this recently. This is the first time the gun barrel had that music on it. That da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Usually it's just the regular bond theme. But isn't it also, isn't that, if I remember correctly, isn't it the first time the gun barrel had light reacting on the inside of it? Probably, you know, because they're getting all. Here we are at the Arms Bazaar, guys.

Are you guys going to this month's Arms Bazaar? You know, it's the second Sunday of every month at the Rose Bowl. That's right. I honestly, I like to go pay a little extra and go early. Yeah. I don't want all the best weapons gone by the time I get there. Well, I found that I've started reserving a booth and I'm not really selling anything, but it's a way for me to get in there early.

Oh my God, that's so smart. A bunch of arms. Yeah, arms. Occasional hands and legs. Yeah, I'm going to probably get a stinger missile this time. Yeah. You know. And then I may or may not sell them to a drug deal.

right who may or may not use them against James Bond Judy Dench there's Robinson prime Judy Dench this here's what I like about this movie Matt yeah we know this James Bond already now he's just doing his thing he's just on a mission and we have Robinson we have M we have MI6

I love it we have M's husband from the sitcom we all know in love that I forgot the name of. Oh, yeah. We've got Ricky Jay. I mean, could you imagine the card tricks he was doing on set for everyone? I know.

That actually must have been quite nice. How he didn't throw cards in this movie and kill people. Well, he did. It was a deleted scene, right? You know that. Well, how it wasn't put in. This movie's only an hour and 59 minutes. Real short for a Bond film.

Because they got it all. You know what I mean? Okay, I'm maybe not enough. Oh. Boys Club. This could have been Gogol. Yeah, I should have been.

I wonder if you're still alive at this point. Doesn't matter. They could have reanimated him. Could have been Pushkin too. What if they spend $400,000 on a robot

on animatronic Gogol? I'd buy that. I'd watch. This movie would Benby your Rubell. Favorite. This would be a favorite movie then.

Yeah, it would. I love the British. Navy. Yep. Get ready for a young Gerard Butler. I'm always ready for a young Gerard Butler. Yeah. Lunch.

He hit the lunch button. Oh, no. I hit the lunch button. You idiot that says launch. They're calling them White Knight. Yeah. Why not 007? You have to code your codes.

Oh, man. You can't. This is all, this operation is chess, you know? White Knight to White Rook or whatever the hell it is. Yeah. Right. I like how they didn't check with James Bond before they launched the missile. Well, they did, but he goes by White Knight now and they missed the call.

Uh-oh. Wait, so it's just a transmission error and that's why this happens? Well, I think it's just out of range, you know. So you're going to get a transmission error anytime you're out of range on a missile. The Pentagon. The Pentagon. I think she might win most British for this movie. The Pentagon.

I always thought he was saying to make sure it would no look like picnic. You didn't hear Chernobyl in there? I did not. Oh man, it's very timely what with the Chernobyl TV series. Also starring Guy Haynes from Quantum of Solace. This is why we're watching this film, everybody. That's right.

Now, Matt, so far? So far it's pretty good. Yeah, yeah. But high octane action. Plus, you get the worst leather bomber jacket I've ever seen. Really? Rarely have I seen a jacket James Bond's wearing out of a gun. like, I don't want to wear that.

Let me look at this. God, he's so handsome. That music, I mean, come on. The music's great. I don't know. Maybe I'll be a fan of this movie. What if I admit that I've never seen this movie? I would be shocked and delighted.

It's also weird that he's got that gun with the like four grip removed. By the way, I love how many fucking mini guns are mounted on these jeeps. Also, what's with that plastic grenade magnetic bomb? That looks like a child's toy. Oh, I love it. I love it. She says his job. It's a good opening sequence. I'll say that. Can you believe? I mean, it's like James Bond, there's a, there's a jet sitting in the middle of this arms bazaar with nuclear warheads. James Bond now has to get this jet out of there because there's a missile coming.

I'm in on this opening sequence. I love how that guy had a fucking sidearm. You don't like this jacket? I don't. It's too, well, I can't. Here's what I'm saying. I can't pull it off. It's so commando, like World War II French resistance. That's true. like it. That's true. You got to get into this movie. This is a great movie.

Right? You got to give this movie a second chance. I am so delighted by this right now. I'm so happy we're watching this. Yeah. Look at this. Look at this. He gets in there and he uses the onboard weapons system to just make all these terrorists go away. Those brasning jowls, trembling. I wish he accidentally launched the nuclear missile. M, you're not going to believe this.

Thank God he's a pilot. It's been established a James Bond can fly a plane. I don't know if you saw a golden eye, but he can ride a motorcycle into a plane and then fly it. Yeah. Remember that great line?

Oh, there's the melody riff of surrender. Oh, right. God, that should have been the song. That's where this movie goes wrong is right after this sequence. I disagree wholeheartedly. But I can see where you're coming from. This is a great score.

Yeah. This is like, it's brassy, you know? Yeah, this one is up there with maybe Casino Royale for me as the two best Arnold scores. I've got a question out there for any of our listeners who might be in the Royal Navy. These missiles, are they? Matt, they're nuclear torpedoes. No, no, I'm talking about the, fired by the.

Yeah. Do they hug the, uh, 50 feet from the ground like that and just fly through mountains. To hide from the radar? Yeah. I don't know. I love it. It's kind of like a never say never again.

Look at this guy waking up. And Superman. I wish this guy didn't immediately know that he was, that James Bond was flying the plane and was just like, oh, Frank, where are we going? I thought we were going to, because he can't see his face. Just assuming it's his buddy. So did they think? Yeah, they think everything blew up.

They think there was a nuclear explosion that they missed. Oh, yes. That is pretty good. Listen, I mean, this is my favorite James Bond movie. Oh, that's, there you go, hurt acting, because he's being hurt. Yeah. This is the first sign of trouble. The way he dispatches with this.

Jesus Christ. What is happening? The way he dispatches with this guy, I think, is so delightfully. Yeah. it's pretty good Roger Morian yeah so he just hit the brakes if I remember correctly oh no he does a turn with his knees we that's how I drive when I'm eating an in-in-out burger yeah well you can't do you go protein style on that or you just go no no no the bun's one of the best parts animal style huh no I just get I just get a cheeseburger I don't like

I don't even do it double double it's a fact this is delightful come on scale it back a little Brazden. Also, why the passenger ejector seat is operated by the pilot. Maybe if he's out of wouldn't he just pull his head off with him? Because he had that wire around him.

He would have decapitated himself. Disagree. That would have been the end. On a jaw that strong? That's true. That's true. That jaw was acting so hard. There was no way to penetrate it. I love the applause for James Bond that happens. I'm guessing this happens

every movie we just don't see them back at headquarters they just clap for something else james bond did i mean that is a hell of an opening so shattering into this i also got to say i enjoy the uh title sequence here because it's very uh all the x-ray stuff all the tech stuff it's just delightful and oh matt i forgot bacteria we get to see the uh 750 i l nothing nothing Look at the Omega right there. Nothing says James Bond like bacteria women. Where's your Omega, buddy? That's what the inside of it looks like.

Oh, I'm wearing it. It's in the bedroom. Terry Hatcher. I only wear it in the bedroom, if you know what I mean. And Joe Don Baker. This movie, what doesn't this movie have? It's got a plot. It's got an original henchman.

What? What? A tone that is consistent. I argue the tone is very consistent. No. It's consistent in that. It's unconsistent. We came off of.

of a Chernobyl look like picnic. You already know you're in for a fun time. This is a good opening sequence. But imagine this with surrender on it. That's better song. Kids, if you're at home, rewind this. Pause the moot. Pause us. Play it with surrender. Then come back to this. Yeah. It's on YouTube the titles with the song. Oh, is it? Oh yeah. They always do that. Is it cut to, do you think it's cut? It's got to be cut to this song, right? Unless this is this is Oh, yeah, I'm sure it's cut to this. I, yeah, again, I just have to say it. Mniatures are still in effect here.

This is such a good. Climman's back for Bond 25. Well, I, for one, am very excited. Yeah. Based on what we've seen here. The Spector, uh, Vic Armstrong, too. This is a who's who of who was. Oh.

Um, but titles in Spector, I remember not being that, great but the skyfall one was great yeah skyfall one was great and the casino reall one I love I love it too cards song is grown on me that song is grown on me yeah and I know he didn't do quantum but I actually do like the quantum ones quite a bit this is just terrific do you find yourself attracted to microchip women yes or bacteria in fact only microtip women this is cool what are those in reference to I guess saddle Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, past movies.

Bruce Firestein, sole credit. Is that why I like this movie? Purvey didn't touch it? Ha ha. M.G. Dubs and BB. How fast would I get thrown off the set if I called him M.G. Dubbs and I called her B squared. I know. I just realized we just started this film and I got really hungry.

Roger Spottis Wood. Oh, this is where Gerard Butler is. He's in this one. Oh, of course. He's always in the South China Sea. He's ready to go at any moment. He's Hawkeye, you know? Exposition, exposition.

So I love that the movie all just, it's one big misunderstanding, you know? Yeah, it really is. Caused by a Steve Jobs type. Yeah. I love this villain. That's, yeah, oof. You have a problem with that, too? Yeah, I don't like this film.

You don't think that maybe he just saw the cold open, saw what Pierce Brasen was doing, and then decided to act accordingly. I guess. Jonathan Price is, let's see, how would I describe him? I'm trying to think of other, like other movies has been in. Well, he's a Game of Thrones. He was in, uh, Ronan. He's been an old ton.

Pirates of the Caribbean. Yeah. Oh, the Carver Media Group network. What's, what's going on here? Uh-oh. Why do they know what's happening? Uh-oh. Tomorrow's News today.

so do they just assume that that GPS unit blew up with uh i don't know but ricky j's hands giving cue hands a run for their money uh which is difficult considering it does so much close-up magic you have to actually be pretty far for the magic tap yeah i forgot about the drilling torpedo this is all great oh i hate stamper you hate him because he's bland Fourth rate grant. He's a third rate Hans. He's a second rate, whoever the guy on you only live twice is. Is he Hans?

I can't remember. He's just the fourth version of, well, and plus the guy from living daylights. For your eyes only, you only live twice, and from Rush with Love. He's the fifth version of this. Yeah, well, but you don't mind the third and fourth version, but the fifth version really gets under your skin. Yeah. Okay. Just wanted to be clear.

Yeah. Just wanted to be clear. The fifth one, four is fine. I draw my line at five. Oh, looks like there are a couple Y-wing fighters coming in. Oh, yeah. What's your favorite class of a fighter in the Star Wars rebel? I like Y-wings, too.

Yeah, I agree. You know what's grown on me? Those B-wings from Jedi. The ones with the like revolving cockpits? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I had a Y-wing toy and it was a delight. All just kind of dumb. had a red R2 unit

Topito Topito, torpedo, torpedo. Don't! You'll summon Candy Man. What if Beatles just legally changed his name to Torpedo because he knew the British military was always saying it three times? I'm not familiar with how the underworld works.

I love the bracing, by the way. This is all great. That poor guy braced around a plate. It's real Star Trek-y. Oh, who's funny? So where do they think that torpedo's coming from? They think the mig dropped it? Yeah.

But they wouldn't know that things moving a lot slower than a torpedo? That's where we lose the... You got to put it on, do not to stir it. Pause it, everybody. Yeah, you're fine. Everybody's fine. Oh, everyone's getting wet, Matt. Where's Jerry Butler?

I'll tell you, the thing that bothered me most about the movie I love so much. One of those guys, by the way, look like Mike Barbiglia and you can't convince me it wasn't the guy with the glasses yeah yeah I have those glasses um but the thing that always bother me was that the torpedo could go up in in dryness like the cat the cabin's not flooded oh the deck isn't flooded how are you making that turn up weird thing I'm a jiggie you're right Matt this film is it's wrong it's bad you know what I hate this movie thanks Matt you've shown me the way I love it no come around to it come around to it there he is there's young Jerry

but he looks like James McAvoy. Look how young he is. I always get Gerard Butler and Jeremy Renner confused constantly. Really? Already called him Hot Guy. Oh. I've already confused. Yeah, they are the same person to me. What's this slow motion? Come on. Well, I mean, it's a sad time. Also, they had this camera on the wrong thing and they weren't about to go reshoot it. That's true. Even though it's not, that's digital

slow-mo, that's not actually shot at that frame, right? Yeah, right. Post-slop. slow-mo. Oh, can you see this thing? It's coming out? Oh, man. That was a cool shot.

Well, it was probably a miniature, too. Wait, did Stamper shoot the mig? Yes. Okay. He just wants to start war. Well, you know, what sells newspaper

is faster than war? That guy's not happy about it. I love this. He's just typing away. 35 pence right there for that paper. Not like last time.

Use bullets that kill. Not paintballs. Laser tag. You know, I mean, it's brutal. I mean, this is what's happening to these people. If you really think about it, you gotta really want James Bond to write this wrong, you know? Especially, I love them, by the way, the fact that the guy on his left has a giant VHS camcorder. That's a good shot, I gotta say, the flashing on that lens.

the other thing is i think i've mentioned this before stamper reminds me of that disgraced pastor ted haggard yes sure i would have preferred him in the role here's another little problem i have plotwise off the bat here yeah they have these people come in to remove one of the missiles so that so that if anyone were to check it was missing a missile right but if anyone were to check they would see that it was welded out of yeah right Also, is Ricky Jay supposed to be Indian? No, why do you say that? Well, his last name's Gupta, and they kind of dress him in this eastern...

Oh, that's interesting. I consider him slime, I believe, is Michael G. Wilson's line in this. Yeah. I hate the way he talks on the screen. I love it. Look, he's got traditional bond fill and garb, though. Yes. Just, you know, look, that's in the news now.

The head of its time. Why wouldn't he want to raise the... cable rates. We're only getting one take with that. Michael G. Wilson's got to go. God. This scene. I can get back to the office.

17. Cephyness. Jonathan Price is playing it sexually somehow. He's very excited. I love it. This new this style of villain.

Like this whole like I don't want money. I just want to control the news. fake news, but he makes you real, actually. That's the beauty of him. It's so timely. He's like Jack Palance.

Yes. So he's so delighted. That was very much like an Austin Powers villain. Oh, yeah. Oh, I love this. He's going to brush up on some Danish. Get the Astin Martin DB5 parked outside in a non-parking

zone guaranteed. So he's, you know, he flew the mig back, landed it. He landed it right there at Oxford or wherever they are. Vessel? Delivered the nuclear missiles. And now he's just being James Bond, biting away. Bighting an arm. That's what this James Bond likes to do.

Bight. Yeah. This is really the first cell phone bond, you know? Yeah. I like how he looked at the keyboard ago. That's actually, I enjoy that. bit of acting. That's some good business right there. He looks at it to see which button he wants to hit.

Yeah. Kiss off your lesson. Oh, Samantha Bond. You've done it again. Cunning linguist. No. In fairness, Pervy might have swung by to do some punch up. Yeah. I think Pervy was an uncredited punch down. Oh, yeah.

Love it. So much. Look at those chowls. Those naval officers. must have been like, who in the government are we paying that much that they're driving that DB5? Now, that's Julian Fellows, right? Yes. The creator of Downton Abbey on the left.

Who's the most British person here? Not that guy. No, that's Judy Dench's husband from that movie. Penton. From that TV show. Pentagin. Okay. It's him.

He's the most British. Oh, God. It's... Yeah, exactly. Nice. 48 hours to investigate. Christ. He's so fresh.

It's out of control. I picked this paper up at Oxford. World crisis, but don't worry, I showered and got tailored. Wait, he shot them with an American M60. I guess... Yeah, but he put the right ammunition in. Okay. Carver made sure of that.

Right. With his one-handed typing with his wireless keyboard. Okay, this movie. Gold's up. I love this. What about this drive and talk? Come on. You can't not.

They're drinking. Yeah. This is James Bond in the middle of work life. Yeah. Love you. That's a lot because he's James Bond. This is very Fleming where there's like this mogul or like respected figure. Yes.

And he has to go infiltrate. I like that. Because it's the same with Drax and Goldfinger. Mm-hmm. Willard White. Willard White. Classic Chinese. Classic villain.

Look at this. Fucking Money Penny showing up with this passport and cover story. How is nobody getting car sick? Because they're drinking. He's like to be clear about that. I had read or heard somewhere that Terry Hatcher's involvement in this film was kind of like a studio push. They pushed her because she was big on

Lois and Clark? Yeah. Interesting studio push. But I don't see why MGM would want that. Why would the studio want that? It was a Warner Brothers show. Very confused. I see.

If only had a tiny hat to throw on a little hook. Yeah. I know. In the rolls. The little hooks that you put your dry cleaning on in the backseat. Ugh. This, now we're getting a great Q scene. the second of last great Q scene

why would any newspaper be called tomorrow tomorrow's news today that's their slogan I know but do you think that came first or tomorrow never dies came first I guess the plot came first by the way I do

not a good title this movie has taught me how to ask for my auto rental reservation in German I haven't used it yet but I'd like to Deem bureau had nine auto reserviette let's see I know how to do that Oh, I love it. Let's take a look at these hands, huh?

Okay, the pencil, gone. Yeah. It's a pen, and it's gone. That clipboard is three feet wide. I like the fucking brass sting every time Bond answered. I know. I know Arnold scores this like a Looney Tunes cartoon. I love it.

Do you think he fights it every time his branch is instructed to deliver something to James Bond? Yeah. But I just built it. Can't we give it to 005? Now, if I remember correctly, this was a direct answer to the Z4. Not, they didn't have it in time, so they weren't able to put the gadgets in it for the practical effects of gadgets in the car.

So they decided, let's go balls out here with this new BMW. Because we'll have it. We can do anything we want to. So that's why it has so many gadgets that you see in this movie. I just, it just feels like a dad car, you know. Oh, I love it. I love it. Yeah, but look, think about it.

If you wanted the biggest sedan BMW made, this is your only option. He needs the backseat to lay down in, you know, so he can laugh at it. Look at that. Cameras on the side for parking. It's amazing. This car was amazing. I should have bought it. I should have bought that $3,500 one in Palm Springs.

I was told by so many people not to do it, but I still wish I had done it. It was in pretty good shape. It was green. I would have had to get it painted to gray. Love it. How do they do that? Someone's down below. They probably have a person sitting in the seat like they always do, like a night rider.

You know how I know that's Forrest's perspective? Because Q's hands line up perfectly size-wise with the car. So he's 12 feet behind it. Desmond, we'd like you to stand here. But the cause over there. He's uniquely qualified to be the background for force perspective. Listen to this jazz. This is great.

We're into this whole nouveau tech. This is also the movie where they play, Only Myself to Blame. I like that song. Scott Walker. Wow. Now, if you wanted to be in a late 90s party. Wow.

You are at a late 90s party. Yeah, you are. Okay, he's wearing a Bond villain jacket and a turtleneck. That's gilding the lily. I, Oh, look at this. This is, does he often,

James Bond often wear a three-piece tuxedo? I find that he often... No, you don't usually see that. Doesn't. Oh, Michelle Yo. I wish Bond was like, I'm right here. We were talking.

What are you doing? This is uncalled for. Because you're Chinese. You don't have a Beijing bureau. That's so great. He's going to, though. That's his plan. He needs to get a news bureau in Beijing.

That's why he wants to start the Third World War. I would love, by the way, a giant Carver Media Group banner. I bet you would. It would be so great. Oh, TV acting in a movie. Yeah. That's what Pierce Brousson is doing. Remington Steel.

That's the problem with Brasson. Remington Steel meets lowest lane. By the way, I've never noticed that the waiters are in newspaper. You never noticed that? I never noticed it. Because I can't take my eyes up the two very attracted people in the center. Matt, I mean, look at them. Profile on profile, I haven't seen anything better.

I forgot Gipta's there You gotta check this out, sir That was a quick turnaround with those drinks Yeah That's why they're wearing tomorrow outfits It's like you're gonna get your martini, not tomorrow Look, that's a heavy pour she's got Is that champagne?

Yeah, it is right? Mr. Carver champagne she says Mr. Carver champagne Pearl? Pearl buttons Also I'd take that bow tie down like 14% yeah 25% I don't mind a big bowtie

but something something about it on there isn't working because you don't want to be distracted from that face because he's Pierce President you know next season we should do

Mamma Mia Mamma Mia too just go through all of Pierce Proustines films post bond yeah I've just decided what

how is that supposed to be awkward I don't even understand what any of that meant he thinks that she could do a great job fixing all the cables underneath the news desk. It is interesting to watch this movie because it's literally the Bond movie I've seen the least. So it does feel the newest to me. Oh, wow.

Like there are moments where I'm watching this going like, yeah, I don't really remember what they say here. I remember every second. And every second's better than the last. She looks like Jenny Flex. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, Jenny Flicks could have swum out of there, right? No, they found her dead, remember? Jenny!

That's right. May Day was so upset about it. They won't give me the rate I'd like. Could you find another bank? Good line, I think, hostile takeovers. It's a good line. So this is the big... I mean, it's just going to summarize here where we're at so far.

This is the big world premiere of his 24-hour news network. Okay. Very late into the game. He's like the 19th 24-hour news network at this point in time. Mm-hmm. So everyone's going to be watching, apparently. You know, when 24-hour news networks launch, everyone watches the beginning.

Right. Yeah. They want to see the first episode, definitely. You're going to see what is this news. A pilot. What's this, what's this Rupert Murdoch, Steve Jobs guy going to say? And James Bond ruins. That's right.

So, quite frankly, I'm on. Elliot Carver's side, this whole movie. What year was this, 97? Yeah. Very ahead of its time. Yeah. I do. I like the villain.

I mean, I don't know if I like the performance. Yeah, I'm with you there. But I do like... I don't hate the concept. Yeah. But the performance is too much, I think, for me. 97. So I was in grad school when this movie came out.

This movie, this coming out at this time is exactly why I never saw it. Titanic because I kept going back to see this movie in the theater. You're like, I can watch this twice in one Titanic. Yeah. Also, the soundproof booth of the recording, apparently there's a grand piano in there. I don't know what they do. Maybe they score the interstitial music for the news network in this building. This is.

Carva. C. What is it called? C-M-G-M-G. C-M-G. This is C-M-G. But I do like this. fight. The silent fight is good. That's ADR for sure. I just want to be in on a Pierce Brosnan

her acting ADR. They have a bin they can just pull clips from. Yeah. This guy is like, all right, they got that under control. I'm just going to watch this. I'm going to watch Carver's speech. It's so inspired. Do you think it's like a cult of Apple Disney kind of thing where these people love Carver Media Group? Yeah, probably. That was a no sound for that bat by the way. That was weird. I love it. Smashing your head in a grand piano. Cello goes down, I mean, or as a double bass.

No. You think that glass wouldn't do that? No soundproof glass. Double pain, man. There's an ashtray, a very big ashtray, if I remember correctly. Stampa. There it is. I wish he picked it up and just finished the sentence.

I miss you. I wanted to say, I love you. before I die. Oh, these two lightning bolt arrows are going to definitely lead to turning off the power to his camera. Press here to interrupt. He says it's time for his station break. Oh, yeah. What?

Why would it do that? Well, I mean, certain things, the power, he's switching off a bunch of switches. The monitors are going to lose power first, then the cameras, the emergency lights go on. But they wouldn't warp and turn rainbow colored. I disagree. An analog signal would do that. Sure. Those are all tube television. It's not like there's the LCDs. I love that firing. It's the best firing in the history of James Bond movies starring Pierce Brosman. Look that bell buckle. What did this? I'm going to look this guy up. What else did this guy do? I'm sure I've done this before.

I guarantee you he's done 85,000 things in Iceland. I wonder where he's from. The Atlantic Hotel. Oh yeah, I forgot this. This is a very harken back to, this is very harken back to Dr. No here. The man's just sitting there with shots of Smyranov, drinking pure vodka. Now he decides to put the silencer on his gun. And he's just waiting. He's waiting for them to come for him. Gautz Otto.

He's German. Whoa, look at him now. It looks pretty cool now. Oh, my God. He does look pretty cool. Whoa. Looks like he works at a guitar store and I'm intimidated to go ask more question. Iron Sky.

He hasn't done too much. He's in the new Doss Boat. I love Duss Boat. I've never seen that. You know, they were going out to film one day and their boat was gone. Oh, really? Yeah, because it had been rented by Steven Spielberg for Raiders. Oh, really?

Yeah. Oh, my God. No one told the people making the movie. That's crazy. Oh, here's the backstory. So he's 16. He goes to work for a newspaper. He learns about news at 16.

He figures out the why is the most important thing, Matt. I would be like, when he was dating my roommate, he was like fast-tracked into the British government for something. I don't know what. Yeah. And then I don't die. Meanwhile, he's still drinking about, how does she get out of there?

He sent her. Oh. Thanks, man. You're welcome. Have you seen this movie? No. What is this? This is gold finger?

Tomorrow never ends. I see, he's undone one suspender? No, that's his holster, sorry. Still shots of vodka, straight vodka. Why he has five shot glasses up there is beyond me? Like, he can't use the same one over and over. And apparently for every shot he takes, he unbuttons a button on his shirt. Yeah.

It started with the cuffs. And then it just kept going. He looks good, though. Come on. When doesn't he? I guess when he's making my face, when he's being strangled by the co-pilot. I love tall doors. I do.

You don't get enough tall doors. Like, no one has a house with tall doors. Yeah, it rarely happens anymore. A billionaire. I mean, what do you think the tallest door is they keep in stock at Home Depot? Oh, boy. I doubt they do. I bet everything's just a standard.

You're telling me, I got a tall door? I got to go. cost more to that? You get different wits, but I don't think you're getting taller doors there. You'd have to order it online. Oh, man. Ships this door, two to five weeks? What's the deal?

Solid door to? Don't even get me started. It's so heavy. It'd be so heavy. How do you transport it? I need a specialized truck for that kind of thing. Yeah. This movie has some really bitey performances.

Yeah. Of Brosnan. Is she married to Carver? Yes. Oh, man. It's obvious she only loved James, but he just never, he went out one day and never came back, and his hands are off. He's like, you're married, I can't do this. Unless, can I do this?

I don't want to kiss you, but I will undress you. That's just the love between two dark-haired, beautiful people. No bra, but I will bother with the downstairs part. You're talking about Brosnan. I missed biting you. That's what they got the sound out. Gupped his law of creative anomaly. It always is.

Well, she knows that he sleeps with a gun under his pillow. Yeah. Riggi J's a pretty good actor. He's so wide. about this line. This line always struck me as not that incriminating. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, but also, how long has Gupta been sitting on that?

He didn't want to bring it up to him earlier? Because I think Gupta is of my school of thought of like, so what? This lady right there, she's probably the one. Yeah. You know, if I could have one yacht, it'd probably be one of those. I'd be like, this yacht was in tomorrow and every day. Yeah, I mean, I feel like they could just send her to an MI6 stronghold and she'd be fine. Yeah, that's right.

I feel like everyone that is like, you can't protect me, like doesn't try. I know. They've given up. Did she just tell him the easiest way to get in was a skylight? I forget, because he goes in a skylight. Like, why does she know that information? There's one really easy way to get in. It's a skylight.

I once locked myself on the roof smoking and that's the way. Back in I found. Is he worried about another power failure? Is that why he keeps the lights this a damn? He likes brood. I've only recently got the monitors back up. I'm still on emergency light. Man, it's good to see newspapers in print again.

Yeah, I'll say. I can watch machines like this for eight hours straight. Well, that's why you watch how it's made all the time on the science channel. Do you watch that? Oh, God. I've seen every episode over and over again. What's your favorite thing they made? hockey stick.

Yeah, I've seen that. It's a Canadian show, you know. Oh, it sure is. It's the most Canadian thing I have ever seen. They're like constantly like, they're making goalie gloves. Yeah, or like a moose antler tongs.

Wait, they told you how they made those? No, that was one where they're like, forget it. It's our little secret. Yeah, proprietary secret. It's our secret, eh? We're not going to tell you how we make these. So that antenna on the phone is a key. He's using some goldfinger when he's sneaking around in the beginning of goldfinger music there, too.

I think David Arnold, where he was very successful, was in honoring the film, the franchise's music. Yeah. Yeah. There's a nice shower curtain. That's absolutely a shower curtain. Well, I mean, you're in a satellite lab. you of course have a shower curtain. Yeah. Ricky J's not a great actor, is he?

I thought he was pretty good in that last scene. But also I like he, like that he's telling the three security guards to take the satellite to the launch site. Yeah. Oh, no. What is he R2D2? He just, he just,

I don't understand what the problem is. So now he used the taser part of the cell phone, the Sony Erickson, the Erickson, I guess, at the time, the card reader. I'm on board so far. I love that the cell phone does so many things. This movie's so far ahead of its time.

His cell phone apparently, or not apparently, is the only gadget he needs. It's like modern phones with apps for everything. That's right. He's got a fingerprint app. I did always find it very weird that there was so much heroin in here. Right. What is that all about again? No acknowledgement of it.

Oh, Gupta is a hero. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, man. Yeah, this is, they always go one level too deep. on these plots. Pervy got in there. He's like, we've got to make it a bit more gritty. That smile from him is like, oh man,

Q really did a good time. Wait, so he's got girly mags, heroin, and a $60,000 and a global positioning satellite. And a backlit poster of the satellite sitting outside of his office. By the way, if you're making a satellite, you're doing that in a clean room. You're not doing it outside of Purvey's office. Wait, is Pervy an analog?

Why does he do this? This is my question. Why is he doing this? He could have just left. I love how he knew the code to make that door lock. Is he hoping that the security guards would be so shocked by the damage to the satellite that they'd stop searching for him? I guess. No!

Koothe's going to be so mad! This chase, I like it. Yeah, I always forget about it. paper mill thing thing whatever that's right oh that is a crazy shot of her just jumping in about when she waves at him when she's running down why do they have her in a high heels because he's tall and and michelio's very very petite use an apple box yeah but you can for a wide shot of an apple box is going to be very silly why she always standing on an apple box in the whites hi this is silly what is he What are his thoughts there?

See, that's the thing. You're going from that Paris Carver scene that's super melodramatic into this like, oh, hello. With the look of a Y I ought to. Yeah. This chase, I do like this chase quite a bit. This guy, he's almost going to save the day here, hoping to get a holiday bonus. Rotating camera.

I love this. That guy. That guy in a maroon jacket is just a theater usher who just happened to walk by this. I love that. Look at that look. He's like, oh boy, this third punch is going to do it. Was this the guy that goes in? I believe so.

I feel like they hit a button, an emergency stop button at some point. I mean, if you're looking for a spot to put a Wilhelm scream in your movie, that was it. What's black and white and red all over? A newspaper. Purvey? Was that you? Listen. that re-record.

Good tone on that guitar. Yeah. That's definitely that electric, I mean the acoustic with the electric pickup. I love it. I love it. The paper's going to stop the bullet. That, that, it's practical. That, sure, that makes sense, I guess.

He's got the bond theme all over this. Yes. It's my favorite score of his. Yeah, it's pretty good. Oh my God. I forgot we go right to the car show. shit. Oh, right. This is a great movie.

Matt, acknowledge it. Please accept that it's a great movie. If you don't, these three seasons have been for naught. I didn't take any heroin. And I didn't just use it. I love it. Listen to this V-12 go. I forget how much horsepower those had. I think 280. I'll look it up.

What a weird way to hold a walkie-talkie. He's coming. Could you get it closer to your mouth? Gupta. Wait, what's his name? Stampa. What's the actor's name?

Goetz Otto. All right. Gertz Otto. He goes for super level, right? Fantastic Four reference behind him. What? Nah, it's just the fourth level of the parking garage. It happens to look exactly like the Fantastic Four logo.

Stay with me, Matt. Come on. I see. I got to tell you, it looks like it's going to be some real rainy weather in that a shot. There's so much dark cloud behind him. Do you think that was deliberate?

Maybe they're like, he's the dark cloud of this movie. Let's put a dark cloud behind him. I love Vincent Chiavelli, but this was also odd casting because he's still such like a TV guy. Such a character. I know he was in like one floor

over a cuckus nest and ghost, but he was always such a like he's a character actor. He's a comic relief. And he is here too. He's really good in the scene, but it was always like, jarring.

Yeah, I feel like you just talked yourself into this. I feel like you just talked yourself into the scene. He sniffs it. Sniff the corpse. Sniff the corpse. Bite it. That would be me.

It's also him doing such a comic German accent. He's almost like doing the Sid Caesar fake German. Yeah. Yeah. 326. That's how much horsepower was in that shit. Oh my God. Love this car.

Oh, ah. It does look like Fantastic Four. Thank you. Thank you for acknowledging that. I always, actually, by the way, thought this was always great sound design. The sound of these things hitting me. I love his line about where he could shoot him from. How do you feel about car squibs?

They're not the squibs. They're shooting those little metal sparking balls at it. Oh, are they? Yeah. this is the kind of thing you get from this commentary that you don't get from the actual commentary. Yeah. I just learned something.

Yeah. I wish he was like, did you kill him yet? Thank you. Sure. I mean, this is a good comedic scene. It's just weird in this movie. But there's so much... I mean, you're right about the tone sort of shifting.

Because there's pairs lying there dead. Yeah. But they're having this funny moment. Yeah. Do you think he grew the mustache? Yeah. And slick for the role? because they're like, we got to differentiate you from what you normally look like.

I mean, what I like about this is the, um, Carver could still run the same news. Right. That's true. I love this. I, look, I like that. I think that's a great bond moment. But again, that's like a real dark moment. But then he goes and sniffs her again.

Real dark. Just like I remembered. Oh, it's just, yeah, this everything's a little, a little off for you? One past, it goes to 11. when it should go to 10. I don't know. That's just, like, that was a lot of different things going on. I love to leave his run.

My best friend. Dr. Kaufman. I let him leave, yeah. Where are we? London? No, I think we're in Berlin. Berlin? Tynebiro had nine auto-reserviates.

Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Now we're getting this. This movie keeps giving gas. shocking exterior like the exterior is electrified bulletproof glass let's see it all

remote control why does the voice German they're in Hamburg because the Atlantic Hotel Matt I gotta tell you pretty reasonable rates at that hotel we should go

yeah that looks like a nice hotel I wonder if you can get the James Bond suite that was a set I'm sure I don't know maybe it was the suite some tall doors there, Matt. Oh, huh. I say we go.

Okay. Let's go. Sorry, we got to finish this commentary. We're going to come back. Come on. Tire spikes? Great. Just wanted to play jacks.

Carjacks. Nice. I love that this does so many different things. By the way, this part's crazy. Tiny missiles fired at the aluminum, and it's still there? That's why James also goes, wait, what? Yeah.

Maybe Q gave him some dummies. There's the surrender music again. If you haven't heard Katie Link's surrender. Do yourself a favor. Come on. He laughs at it. I love it. Yeah, that's funny.

This guy doesn't aim at the engine block. He aims at the windshield. Oh, man. Fantastic 3. Why would that guy flip? This is the... best gadget ever. So specific.

It has to be at that exact height. They don't need this. They've already had enough fun. Again, they just go one too far. This is the one too far for you, huh? This actually, this, this film, you know, I don't condone fan edits, but you could edit this down to a workable film maybe. No. Will it, though?

So you'd have cut that sequence out and just had him go to the roof? Yeah, it also cut him driving the car into the store full of people. I disagree. It's going back to the rental agency. That's funny. Yeah. You get that fucking score? Listen to that, David Arnold action right there.

Ugh. I mean, he also, by the way, could have just stopped the car there. They all would have gotten out. Yeah, that's concrete falling on... He honked on the way down on purpose. No. To save lives. So, you're welcome.

Oh, yeah. Paris is dead. I should be sad again. Well, you know how James Bond is. And then we go right to Wade. Then we go right to Walter P.P.K. Joe Don Baker appearance. This movie does not stop being the best movie. Matt has gone to a Walter, so I am in charge of this commentary finally.

Full naval uniform James Bond. We haven't seen that since The Spy Who Loved Me. It is great. He's a commander still. No promotion. Do you think he has to still go fight if he had? Like, do you think that? Be like, oh, we need to activate all the commanders.

We're like a commander short. I love the, I love the ADR of them yelling over the helicopter blades. They found the missing. I love that Wade is so happy and proud of Bond for finding it. God, I wish he was in more. I mean, not really at all, like putting a magnanimous. beside a compass. I guess the course, if your course is only via compass.

That was a funny look. Brosden checking out Wade's outfit. Very funny. I would have given him a trim. I would have taken about a quarter inch off of that hair for Brosnan. Oh man, now we're going to do the Halo jump. This is going to be great.

No, I'm good. You missed some great Wade Bond action. Yeah. Look what he's wearing. They, that was acknowledged in the performance. What did they say?

Bond looks him up and down. And then, and then Wade sort of takes a step back. Like, oh, you don't like my outfit. And you missed, you miss Brosnan in the full naval dress uniform.

No. Which is just, every time James Bond appears in it, I'm delighted. Oh, that's right. That's the sergeant from aliens, too. Yeah, same character.

He made it out. I love it. I love Wade. I love Wade. I love Wade. I also like that he's not Felix, you know? I like that it's just this other wacky guy in the CIA. I mean, not that Felix is wacky.

He didn't even say goodbye. I love it. I love it. Do you know that was coming? Yes. You've seen this? I think, Matt, I think this one, this might be the record for me for Bond. Now, I think Diner the Day is, I was going to say for Bond movies I saw in the theater the most times.

I think Diner the Day I saw five times. This one I probably saw four. Five times. Yeah. You know, I was young. Didn't have a lot going on. Thought I'd attend a movie a bunch. I was young.

I didn't need the money. What year did that come out of 01? I was still in high school. Get off my back. You're such a jerk. You're such a jerk old man. Things are different. Things are different now.

Love a halo jump, you know? Yeah. Every time there is a halo jump at a film. I always find putting on flippers cumbersome. Me too. Okay, I'm done eating. I probably.

Especially when, uh, also when I'm taking them off when I get to shore. I also find that to be annoying. I just look like a beached whale. Yeah. Rolling around. No one can do that. With dignity. It's impossible.

Magnesium flare. This reminds me of the, you only live twice. Sequence. Yeah. Oh, I forgot that this thing was shifting under the, under, beneath it. Now, if I remember correctly, there is for no reason in this movie. A shark. Of course.

Like you've got a pretty... They're doing a nice thing here, by the way, which I fully appreciate. He's moving underwater at the speed, a person would be moving underwater. None of this, like, let's really take it to thunderball levels of slowness. You know, it's just like,

oh yeah, he's just going to swim through the water at a regular speed. Yeah. Like a person. But still, not like... Underwater, at this point in the movie,

really taking a lull. here really lagging well the plot's moving along i really like it how far we still got 50 minutes left of this thing you you you no no no don't don't try to kill me that's it's saying so much without words there see if she didn't try to kill him is there a shark in this did i make up the shark thing i made up the shark thing i don't know i'm thinking of a different movie with the shark you're thinking for your eyes only. Oh, maybe. Isn't that when the sharks have the little

radar or whatever, the little sonar attachments on them to go kill Bond? Poop, they're stuck in there now. That's never say never. Never, never say never again. Never, never say never again. I feel like if you're underwater,

you know, you have super strength. So you can probably move that missile. Ooh, they should go up that hole. Mm-hmm. Oh, the tank won't fit What a problem There's only one solution Use the tank as some sort of jet thruster

I have no recollection of this scene That's because you don't like Joyful, delightful things I mean they could very easily get the bends here The way they have to skyrocket in flight here Afternoon delight I really don't remember this I mean her lung capacity just keeps going

She brought the tank with her right? No. Why don't I bring the tank with you? This must always be where I go pee. Vietnam! Vietnam! The wetsuit, the fans, the tank? Didn't you go to those islands recently? Thailand. I went to the Thailand islands.

But I didn't go to them. You just looked at them? I was in Phuket, but it was like such a nightmare to get to them. Oh, no. Hi guys. Do you like my new shirt? I wear a lot of these shirts. I get them at the gap.

I mean, so I guess she just charted a fishing boat. That wasn't like an MI-China boat. I guess. Because I feel like... Ami China. Ministry of Intelligence, China. Oh, you wouldn't watch that? I would.

Oh, the volume's been up the entire time. No. Well, these are pretty direction. like so you should be okay. Although when you go to level it, it might boost that. Well, we just realized that the speaker volume's been up. I think it's been up for the half, but I don't think you can hear it. We checked.

So, I mean, we did a loose check. By the way. Apologies. It's the first time I noticed that that Carver, that Carver portrait sign on the side of the wall was painted. I'll export this and not level it. it so that stuff doesn't come up. Reasonable.

We're just talking tech talk. I would just, I would, I would bring it up like two or three decibel on there because we are recording pretty low when you're exporting. You got it. That is inside podcasts. That's right. Ask her to betray me. I didn't ask her to betray me.

Whatever, you don't know anything. She's probably on an Apple box right there. Yeah. or in super high heels both no that typing is ridiculous you know what I will say is dory is such a fat dory types so fast so does Amanda she types like a like I mean like every time

I have to like have her either put music on or stop because it sounds so fake yeah so does Amanda but one-handed typing like that forget it well I mean look if you're Elliot Carver all you do is probably he just probably does typing exercise CD-ROMs all day with one hand the quick drum fox

fake news there he is guy on the far left holding the gun looks like he is not ready for anything no you're right I wish they'd go back to that shot but not the internet that's not going to do anything

no no carver there he is guy that doesn't look there ready for anything both of those both of those guards look Ready for nothing. They are not the cream of the crop. Hi, remember me? Hi, it's me, Ricky Jay.

Do you want me to do a car trick for you, sir? All all need is a watermelon and a deck of ordinary playing cards. And some throwing knives. Sir, the helicopter. He just has a voice that you wouldn't expect to come out of a man like that. I love that Gupta is in charge of the helicopter. Like getting car. to leave on time.

That one wouldn't do anything. Yes. Oh, she got it. She thinks that's funny. I think she said, loves him. That's the moment. What do you think that tool does specifically? I think it cleans your toenails.

Yeah. Yeah, just like it's under there, you know. Yeah. However did he take down those two guards? They were ready for everything. I love it. Right in the leg. It's the best place to do it, too.

I like how Carver doesn't fire those guards I know, well they're dead They're both alive No shit Well get in front of the Thing I'm a jiggie Thank God there's this wooden toolbox here This old time toolkit

I'd have rather he shot the The rope I wish Bond looked at her dead in the eye and went What was this banner made in China Is that wide shot practical There's a few practical shots in this that are actually very impressive. I remember from the making out. Yeah, I know the helicopter shit later is.

In fact, it's almost too practical. It feels like a theme part stunt show, which I don't hate. Look. I don't hate it. Of all the ideas you have had, that's probably... This is a little too diehard for me here. Well, how else you're going to get in there? What do you think happens in that office?

You think it's part of Carver's media group? Or do you think he just owns the top three and bottom four floors? Good question. Clutch. No reason for I'm slipping to be in there. Well, yeah, because she's got to resituate herself. Oh, yeah. This is good teamwork here.

Yeah. And we get the Bond theme, the Monty Norman theme, back in action, slight fender bender with those range rovers. I love that motorcycle. Their insurance is going to go through the roof. Be funny if Carver. got what he wanted but had to close the Beijing office because the insurance claims.

Oh, man. Where did they shoot this? Did they shoot this in Vietnam? Where are they? Are they in Beijing? I think they're in Beijing because Colonel whatever's face was there. Where they shot this? I know when the helicopter comes, it very clearly becomes a studio back lot.

I mean. I love him. His acknowledgement. Very good. That ought to stop them. Something I would have done. What just blew up? Oh, yes, of course, fireworks.

You can't be in a Chinese alley without fireworks going off. Unnecessary wheelie. That's a beefy bike. Oh, that's adorable. He calls the roof the highway. This score is just swelling. I love it. That's funny because I just went through a bunch of shirts.

Does no one ever go like, hey, I saw this Carver Media helicopter firing a machine gun down into this residential neighborhood. I mean, they could just stay in there and then wait for that helicopter to run out of fuel. I forgot that they'd jump over the helicopter. Somehow. No established ramp, correct?

They just land flat. Still standing, still standing. Flat and not moving. What? I mean, at some point, you got to let them go, right? Yeah. You're just doing too many... I mean, I don't know if China's going to be really on board with you

coming in here. All that Heineken. What a waste. Heinrichin, the national beer of Vietnam or Beijing. I believe Beijing is where they're supposed to be. Well, they were in Vietnam. They were in Vietnam water. Yeah.

Unless they're at Carvers, Vietnamese. um giant building this is just ridiculous which part all of it all of it it it's a little too much for me did we learn nothing from the twilight zone oh no this also goes on a bit long um yeah uh one too many you think on this one as well it's also kind of slow moving chase too well well i mean that's the nature of helicopters and bicycle riding over... I think this is Vietnam. Okay. I'll allow it.

He's never trapped. I love it. You're thinking what I'm thinking? This is a great way to dispose of a helicopter, by the way. This is so dumb that the helicopter is just going to try to chop them. They still have guns. Instead of, by the way, just landing and shooting them. He throws it around the tail of the copter, if I remember correctly.

And they duck in. six inches of water. What? Why come up now? Those dummies. Those clear dummies that were in that and not people. That was pretty funny to me. Do you think they were like, we really should shower, we both smell terrible?

Yeah. Or what? Like, what's the real world scenario where they're like, we should shower right now? How close are they to the explosion, too? Like, people are just like, huh? Yeah. Oh, let's go to the shower. It's a famous Vietnamese shower house.

Before we tell our governments, what's happening. Yeah. Although she has her places here, though. I know. But is it a secret outpost or what? By the way, she's had this the entire time. This earring that she could have picked the lock with. Yeah.

Which chose to only do it once they were showering. Love it. And then he destroys the pipe, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage to the shower system. I do like her fun secret hideaway This is where he gets his omega back And this is where he picks up the Walther P99

Which is a terrible gun Do you think he started with all the buttons And then went down to two Or do you think he just did two And started walking Oh yeah I forgot that The colonel's men come to attack her

This is some good choreography Boy, they're also like like three different fight set pieces in a row here. I mean, it's pretty much been nonstop since the torture scene in the hotel. I mean, unless you count the underwater stuff is stopping, which I can. Look, as far as quality kicking goes, there is so much. Ugh. I do that sometimes to start my day.

She's Jacqueline Chan. She's incredible. Yeah. Second time with a lighter, he tricks somebody in this movie. This time he doesn't have a lighter. And the guy's reaction is like, are you a magician? But his, he just punches him in the face. Are you a magician?

Do you think Ricky J. Todd and gave him a little special session for that? Yes, a thousand percent. This is a very, the dynamic between Waylon and James Bond, think is actually underrated. Yeah, it's almost there. Something. Revenge on who? Carver for Paris.

Oh, that's what he's saying? I guess. I'm guessing, my brain says that she thinks that he wants to get revenge on the Chinese. Oh, no. Stealth boat. That's ridiculous. So dumb. Why would he want to fly below radar on a boat?

You know what would stop this plan? A large spotlight. Yeah. Some sort of light ship. Helicopter with a couple of halogen bulbs on it. A fisherman just cruising by. A lot of flares. So many things.

I love her. I love her... Is it red? Are her monitors red? Or is that just the light? They're red. She's like red china. Well, yeah, that's so you know.

Commonest computers have to be red. It's actually like luck, you know, it's a lucky color. It's still corny. You could type. Yeah, right. A rare instance where Bond doesn't know. I like that. I love this suit up situation.

He's like, I know exactly what to get. Yeah. That's good. I do. That was really funny. Because it almost feels like they didn't tell Brosden. Yeah. How do you improve on greatness?

Is that mine? Yeah. Wow. Not mine. It's the one you wear. Fan. Chinese. Purvis.

Curvy. What was that? What do you mean? That was obviously a spring-loaded carriage. Tight end? The new author. He falls in love when she has cool stuff. just because she has the new water.

I asked Q to get me one of these and he didn't, but you have one I can just use. I love me he leads with his gut. That's the moment in the script that he acknowledges her. You have a Walther P99. And where's this? That looks like Thailand. Yeah. That's why I asked if you went to those islands.

I don't know. I don't know where they are. You don't even know where you are right now. movie is this? Is this even James Bond? This is the man with the golden gun. Yeah, might as well be. Nicknack! Is this Revenge of the Sith? Remember when they shoot the wiki planet here in Thailand? Sure. Oh, God. Hang on. Kashik. There we go. I got it. Kashik, Kazuk. Stumpy? What the hell's this kid's name? Lumpy. Lumpy. Now listen, there's surrender playing again. Mala, Lumpy, and itchy.

Yes. That's that. Absolutely correct. We're talking about Chewbacca's family, by the way. Yeah, if you're celebrating Life Day out there, happy Life Day to you. Yeah. I believe Life Day is in November. By the way, if they decided to decorate Galaxy's Edge as though it were Life Day, yeah.

I'd be like so delighted that they finally acknowledge it as canon. I know. Have you ever fired one of those, Matt? No. Let me tell you the weirdest thing about those. They're terrible guns. the trigger never it never fires the pin at the same point

so you could be pulling back let's say you pull back a quarter the pin could go let's say you pull back all the way the pin then could go it's very strange it's a bad gun thank you everybody for listening gun talk usually Matt's gun corner but today it's Matt's gun corner Matt Myra's taken over the corner

it's always the last place you look the stealth boat that's the old adage you know yeah I know it's always right behind you. Stealth boat. You sure that's it? What if that's another weird black boat? You know, from the side, it looks like an imperial

droid, an upside-down sideway's imperial... The mouse droid. Yeah. I was just thinking that. Like, why does it feel so Star Wars? It also kind of looks like the head of an adat or the body. Oh, sure, yeah, yeah. Excuse me, Walker.

Sorry, AT-A-T. Excuse me, A-T-S-T. Excuse me. A-T. the cargo one from Rogue One. And then there's like the guerrilla ones from Last Jedi. Hey, maybe be a little quieter. You're on a stealth belt.

Well, I mean, it's not like a rule of silence on the stealth bone. This weekend reminds me now a lot of the helic carrier infiltration in your Avengers movies. Yeah. Oh, I forgot about these mines. What's mines is yours. Bo. Purvy. His little breathes.

in between are really disconcerting. Well, he's not supposed to be a fun guy to be around. No. By the way, he strikes me as someone who wouldn't even want to be there. He'd want to be in the newsroom for this. Yeah. Oh, I love this guy. He's from Last Crusade, your favorite movie.

Yeah, he's also, by the way, he works on Cloud City. Oh, look, that's, what's his name from Downton Abbey, too? Oh, I'm not a Downton Abbey watcher What's his name? What were you saying? Sorry? I'm saying he's also

Uncloud City. He helps Lando out? No. Lobot. Wow, you got two Downton Abbey people in here, a Gerard Butler and a Last Crusade.

And a Captain Giorgio from Star Trek Discovery. I love the kicking. Oh, she knocked herself out. Were you serious about that? Because she's definitely got a blank, sure. Like, why wait?

Nah. A guy had a good yell. This ship feels very Star Wars, like Cloud City when Luke's sneaking around at the end. Well, that's my Lobots there. Yeah. Well, Lobots actually on the other ship. Is that an actor dead? This is great, by the way.

Yeah. This whole, let me put this guy out here. He'll shoot at this guy. I'll drop him into the water. And he'll be like, I got him. I got James Bond. Michael Byrne is his name. Oh, he's still alive.

I love that guy. get him in something else. All right. Let's do it. He plays a Nazi almost every movie. Not in this one? He was in apt pupil, though, as a Jewish Holocaust survivor, I believe. Well, in 2018, he was in Midsummer murders.

He's got a range. And something called Agatha Raisin. Agatha Raisin? Mm-hmm. Do you think that's like a California Raisins Agatha Christian Mystery? 10 little raisins. Oh, he's also in force 10 from Navarone. Oh, wow.

Right. Love that guy. Michael Byrne. Some of all fears. He's just so cool. Remember the weird fucking karate he does at her? Who? It's coming up.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, boy. Here he goes. Here he goes. Why couldn't we cut that? He just thought he was doing it as a fun blooper, and they left it in. Do you think that was ad-libbed? Yes.

Oof. And we're not fools, and neither are they, because we both have agents. Yeah. I've got to help Lando. What am I doing on this boat? Wait, that guy's in the crown. Oh, my God. Oh, I think it gets back really excited.

It's British television. His name's Pip Torren. for crying out loud. He's the mustache guy from the crown. That doesn't narrow it down. I think. Yep. He's great.

There's a few moustaches in the crown. His name's... Oh, he's the mustache. I gotcha. Pip Torrens, come on. Oh, I love how he knows to pull the little battery bomb out of this thing. This watch he just got. Or is a picture of it.

That's cool. grenade, that's smart. I like that. That's a fun little written device. Putting the grenade inside of a glass container and then putting the glass, like pulling the pin, dropping it in, and then breaking the glass container with the little tiny primer thing from the watch. Smart. Wait, just told everything. He is in the crown. He's also in the Force Awakens. Who's in the Force? Colonel Kaplan? Oh, you don't know Colonel Caplin? He was the one that, um, was talking about Star-Kill case? Ready to rock and rock. And ruin. Hey, hey, hey. Don't you talk about Goop to like that? He's probably on heroin.

Colonel Kaplan. I love his return. He never likes to, he never, he never lets it breathe, James Bond. He always wants to be like, hi! Yeah, yeah. He doesn't like to let the plan go as far as it could. Jesus, there's still 20 minutes left at this thing. Well, a lot of that's credits. You know, you got a credit each, Bad security guard. Yeah. Vic Armstrong's team. Jeez. I mean, it is pretty absurd.

He acknowledges that. That guy, by the way, who was walking as loud as humanly possible. Yeah. Like a stilt performer at a theme park. A Decepticon. Just say yes. Oh, you're going to rock and ruin me? Oh. Holy crap.

what broke the glass? The primer from the watch, from the minds. All right. Which I think was great. I talked about it at Nausea while you were looking up your favorite British actors. Pip, Pip, whatever his name is, Pip Warren's. Lobo. You don't get many guys named Pip anymore.

That goes all the way back to what? Great expectations. I love this. There he is. Come on, give me one more, Downton Abbey, the Crown actor. Come on, we can do it. He's real angry about it. He'd be better off, I think, again, in the newsroom.

I love he calls him Mr. Stamper. Where do you think he found Stamper? Do you think there's like a hiring convention for bad henchmen? He was an orphan in Shanghai next to a short round. I wish there was a henchman job fair. I know. Come work for the Carver Media Group. Well, there is that hotline you can call where DRAX gets jaws,

remember? He literally calls someone and orders a henchman and he gets jaws. Which means they've got to have some sort of a convention. Yeah, there's an agent of some kind. I'm a henchman agent. Carver, Elliot, baby, listen. You're going to love my guy. Stomper? Come on. Who's the guy that brought you Elvis? Pee-Woh. Wait, that's a captain. That is a captain. So he must be an admiral. Probably. Yeah, he's got a filled in stripe. Oh, love some Navy stuff.

Well, I can let you know. You sure can. Bonn, turn them into the target. Pip Torrens. Admiral Kelly. Yeah. And he is a captain. You're right.

Hugh Bonneville. I love it. 48 knots. I mean, Admiral, I think you should really talk to the captain about that. You're using his boat. So the flagship has an admiral on it. I love it. I like a double-shouldered.

automatic weapon situation. Steady it with the shoulder strap. This music is great. Diehard really put those guns on the map. Did a lot for the Beretta, too. Yeah. And Beethoven's ninth. I mean, look, every trailer should be cut to that.

Yeah. Did you see the other, the more recent diehards? I didn't see the brush of hard. Oh God, it's so bad. Lip-free and die-hard, I think, actually, is pretty good. Yeah. That's the one with Timothy Oliphon? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, that's okay. I like part three. That is some bad shooting right there. Yeah. It's like he's using it like a paint brush. I love this. He starts firing missiles at them.

That's crazy. So, I mean, I guess what, a door opens, which makes that missile launcher usable. Otherwise, it's a missile. launchery inside of a mooch it must be a door that opens how does it oh yeah he sends the uh the chewy torpedo it chews things up that's why i call the chewy torpedo i wish i had been on set to be like you know if if we want to over crank the camera we can we don't need to there's a squirrel come to town again hi squirrel what if the squirrel came in here right outside

the window that's my squirrel alarm that's my squirrel alarm that is serving no birds and only this one squirrel. Did you check the package to make sure it says bird feeder and that squirrel feeder? I didn't. Well, that's on you. Well, Elliot's plans falling apart here. She's got one bullet left. She's got to make a count.

There's got to be one of the chamber. She's got two, right? Two bullets left. Slow motion. She did it. She tapped into the laundry lines for the dryers. Would that make that whistle coming in like that? Serious question.

I mean, what happens to these guys now? Oh, my God. I forgot about all these primers for the minds that launch on Gupta's feet, not Gopta's stamper. I'm doing an Instagram live post of our commentary watching with the scroll, and I've completely surrendered from the movie. You really didn't put your best. foot forward on this one, Matt.

You did a lot of business. You had a lot of business. You had a lot of business to tend to in the middle of it. Yeah. You had to pee a bunch. I know. I apologize. It's a trail mix.

You wouldn't know it, but a work emergency came up halfway through this and we cleverly hit it from you. You might know that because it's not exactly synced up. Yeah. But I'd like the commentary to be at the same quality level as the film. That's just so mean to this great, great film. I might even add in some distortion. Sure.

And just slowestness with some slow-mo. We'll tease a Katie Lang song that isn't in the movie. I love that he does just is like a killing machine right now. Yeah, really? He's like the Terminator. Oh, no. He got hit by that guy that does bad fake kung fu. Not so fake after all, is it?

Thank God this was labeled properly by Phil Labelson. Good little come-up and fun. Give the people what they want. Uncounting. Is that? Which one has that? Diamonds are forever or Dr. No? Which one?

Uncounting. That's Dr. No. And diamonds are forever. The guy on the platform, too, is counting like that. Yeah. Might even be the same guy. Maybe. I'm slowly moving this thing at you, so please, just stand there.

He doesn't move. I mean, as far as your main villain deaths go. Yeah. Why did that stuff? the drill. It went through the hall of a ship. Yeah, yeah, but it needed some water. That's how, that's how thick his acting is.

That's what stopped it. The Price is acting. I love this, uh, Bond trying to undo the screws on the panel. There's like 45 fucking screws. That's, I, okay, so he, she drops in there. What, what is the problem?

Right now? By the way, I feel like she has this upper body strength to climb up there. I mean, the problem is what he did to his mentor. Why wouldn't he just put it around her neck and hang her? Do I got a henchman everything? No, but he's a fan of such torture. You know, he wants to torture people. She'd be able to kick her feet and weighed up, right?

Thank God that manual release valve thing, Mujiggyz right there. Reverend Ted Haggard. This is your classic henchman outliving the main villain. Yeah. I mean that. Did he get stabbed in the heart? Stabbed in the chest and and he gets his foot caught.

We die together, Mr. Bond. And then I believe he cuts his vest. Thank God. Waylon's a champion deep diver. Still got her breath held. World record for holding your breath underwater. Isn't it like 11 minutes or something? Are you serious?

22 minutes and 22 seconds. That's impossible. How can that be? be free diver how is that possible don't ask the women's record is 18 minutes and 32 seconds I love the idea of free diving it's just so freeing you know a subtle hair color differences I like that it's good lighting under there that's also that's probably the skyfall tank right there that sounded like a theme I hadn't heard before that's kind of nice it's a I think that's I think that's actually tomorrow never dies oh yeah he

Did he? I mean, that's essentially what it is. If you try to come up against James Bond, it's like you're committing suicide, Matt. You make that conscious effort. You're just like, I'm never going to come out of this. Right. I love what they're calling for Commandable.

That's with all this post-production slow motion. Again, I think they just forgot they could crank the camera. It's me, Pip Torrens. Hello? James! I wish it was Wade. Yeah, it should have been. He should Halo jump in.

Hey, Jimbo. In a speedo. Well. So hang on. Hang on. There we go. There it is. That's the best part of the movie.

A loving memory of Albert R. Cubby broccoli. Love it. Gatz Otto. Gutz Otto. Desmond Luelan. Julian Phillips. This song's so good. There's your, there's your, there's your, there's your,

Michael Byrne, Pip Torrens. I know, look at them all. Colonel Chang, played by Philip Kwok. Way to go, stunt team. A lot of good stunts, a lot of practical stunts. Well, Matt, this is our second to last, our penultimate episode of the season.

I got to say, excited, glad we got to watch this film. I'm glad it's over. you obviously Matt you don't have to now watch this for another two and a half seasons so in about six years All time That's never going to be synced up

With what they're listening to It could be We might have just happened upon it Yeah But overall I would say Sometimes I enjoy these movies more When I watch them with you And sometimes I see the flaws

A little more when I'm watching them with you This one felt tedious because of me? I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. Well, I enjoyed a fair amount of it, but just the process of recording the commentary. The film, that's another story.

You know. And again, I don't begrudge the people that like this movie. That's what I love about Bond. There's something for everyone. Where do you think Colin Jameson is right now? Can I get him to come over and do my hair? This is Broson. Mr. Brosden's heritage.

He's probably living with him in Kauai. we got to get over there. Just track him down. We should do a mini-documentary called Finding Brosnan. Like he's disappeared. And it's just you and I looking for him. Maybe it ends with a nice pancake breakfast on his lanai.

That'd be nice. Again, I like the man. And I like him outside of the Bond franchise. I'd love to have a pancake breakfast with you if you're listening, Pierce. Yeah, I would too. Guaranteed you're not listening, but what if you were listening. He might. This is a free episode. Which case I've only dug my grave even deeper. Are you saying he's not
