taken up enough of your time. You. So, okay, I've taken up enough of your time. You... Hmm. Oh! Oh! I remember a specter. Specter? Specter. We're so close to being done. Two and a half hours. I can taste it.

We are so close to being done with James Bond. We are Kill James Bond and we're getting close. We're getting close every day. We're getting closer. Don't stop. We're so close. Absolutely. We're getting closer. Don't stop. We're so close. Absolutely. I am Alice called, Valkali, joining me, our Avagothon and Devon, and we watched Spectre as you may have guessed.

Spectre. Spectre. Spectre. And so now this has left me with the task of trying to condense a two and a half hour movie Into I want to say at most 90 minutes. So I did two shifts of watching this fucking movie. Oh my god Absolutely. So let's go. Let's go. We begin with the best bond opening Let's go. Let's go.

We begin with the best bond opening, like, as far as I'm concerned, that, like, is good. Bond is in Mexico City at a big parade for the Dia de las Muertos. This is not a real thing. This is a tradition that they invented. Like they invented this for the movie. And then, and now Mexico City does just all sorts of parade. Yeah, I know. Like, yeah, why not? I all sorts of parade. Yeah, I know. Yeah, all right.

Why not? I don't hate that. Like, I, I, I, Mexican friends of mine have like made fun of this as an example of the sort of like, liberal vacuistness of Mexico City's municipal government. But I don't mind this idea of like, oh, a movie did a cool thing, so we're just going to do it now. But yeah, no, as a, as a set piece, this isn't bad. You see a classic bit, which is a guy who, you know as evil because he's wearing a white suit,

walking around, and you see obviously a James Bond wearing a skull mask following him. Yeah, neat mountain of a skull mask on. Yeah, this scene for most of it is done in one shot, although I don't believe it's actually done. No, you can actually tell where the cut's at. It's important to be. You see someone walk the whole way across the camera,

something and you're like, wipe, wipe, wipe. Yeah, but it pretends to be one shot. And it's like, because that's cinema, maybe. Cinema, this is a serious movie, not kind of trivial. So yeah, I don't hate this idea. This is basically like a hitman level. Someone has been playing the hitman games and what they've come up with is, you know, crowd disguises. I mean, if you, if you recall, like all of the skulls that Silver sent to him in the previous one were not just like skulls

They were there the last were they skulls? Yeah, it made perfect sense for him to go here And then later on totally unrelated and unconnected Yeah, but what I'm really liking those that they're they're using the like Ah fuck what's the name of the, when, diagetic, they're using the diagetic sound of the drums of the festival and it's like quite compelling. And then they shiss all over it and they run and I knew I was not going to enjoy the movie after this point. And that is he goes into the hotel room with the sexy lady and he takes off the mask and you're like, holy shit, that's James Bond as if the Daniel Craig shape of the guy and the fact that it's a

movie about James Bond and tip you off. And the fucking theme plays like this. I, I, this is. That's cool. It's such a, it's such a small thing. It's such a small thing. It's such a such a small thing. Spinning, double or seven. Such a small thing. And like this movie has so many little musical stings. And I hate every single one of them. Probably just some big shit as well. The first movie that I noticed that they have specific themes for specific things happening. Yeah.

Like I started to notice when they were playing the same theme over and over. And I hated it Mmm, also and Gentlemen, you're a miss of me to not mention color grading is dog shit yellow It's weird. It's weird shit in the fucking like opening gun barrel sequence. It's weirdly yellow And this is the thing right because the thing about Mexico is that it's yellow We all know this from every movie that set that that isn't made by Mexicans. It's color grade AD.

It's so yellow. They put like the Chris Hemsworth Middle East movie thing on like Mexican city. It's like watching it through the case of piss Christ is how yellow it is. So Bond trails this man on a white suit who we later find out his name Skiarra. He's mentioning somebody called the Pale King. Yes, and they're going to show somebody a ring, which kind of looks like a Hitler salute if you're only watching cashmere. And then he blows up the fucking building. Yeah, he hears them, you do a plot to blow up a stadium and tries to kill Skier, hits the bomb instead, blows up the bomb and part of the building.

And at this point, the movie sort of devolves into like Marvel shit for a bit. Like he gets killed with this as well. He has to like run away from a big CGI collapsing building. Because this still wants to be the Avengers. It really was. Yeah, so there's a slight thing to be able to marvel about this. It's like how the previous movie came out directly after

fucking Dark Knight and was like, wow, isn't it cool to be like the Dark Knight? So I came out after the Avengers and was like, holy fuck. Mm hmm, holy fuck. Also, they still are ship from Game of Thrones. I'm gonna go mention one, but they keep doing it. My two notes here are, this is the spookiest bond yet. You should just cap the mask on the whole time.

I think you want to be good. And things are always happening to this guy. Oh yeah, he falls and he lands perfectly on a couch for a little bit of like comic relief. But like, things keep happening. So, like this is a massive parade, right? And it's in the center of Mexico City, like it leads to the Zocala, right?

Plaza, yeah. There's a color, the national square of Mexico, the big Mexican flag you can tell. It's like, it's actually, this is like doing this against the White House, right? Yeah. He blows up a building which collapses and it's sort of like people are stumbling around the streets of full of dust.

It's like 9-11. Two cop cars show up. And the guy, and it's like, yeah, just like no one's screaming, no one's doing anything. It's like, listen, at least the Turkish police had the motorcycle suicide attack spots. Yeah, the Mexican police don't do fucking shit. They just drive there, get out, and like, Bond sees Skihara escaping. So a bomb going off is not even like,

all of a sudden it was like dirty, his white suit. And then what we have. Chase is sending, and Chase is sending him into a helicopter that's taking off in the main square, he fights Skiara in the helicopter. Well, we have to have him like chasing through the procession right. And I wrote down, you know, this guy Skiara, he's no Mitchell, because it is just the same thing of like these two guys chasing each other in the midst of a big like civic event thing.

Yeah, we're doing this. It reminds me of when I was chasing a guy through a big civic thing, one of the things that I've seen. Yes, yes, yes. It's literally the same guy, too many. Skierr tries to escape, and a helicopter takes the same guy. They fight in the helicopter. James Bond, the world's dumbest man, climbs into a helicopter that's taking off over like this square that's just packed with people and then just starts punching the pilot.

Yes, he puts the pilot's air into a helicopter. James, two or three times. James Bond applies for the cronstein reserve. Yeah, he puts the he puts the pile up. He's two times applies for the cronstein reserved. He kicks skier out of the plane, first of all, murder. He steals his octopus ring off his finger. And but then he attacks the fucking pilot.

It's not even that like he attacks the pilot first when he climbs into it. Yeah, he's opening. He's opening is to put the pilot of the helicopter he's in in a headlock. And which of course causes the helicopter to be wiggling around on that shot, making the rest of the fight very difficult. There's also, like, just happens to grab the ring

off the guy before he kicks him out of the helicopter. Also, by the way, before he gets to the helicopter, he has to chase the guy down the street, right? There's a whole line of Mexican cops who are just facing the procession like, yeah, yeah, nothing done. Didn't just hear a building blow. This movie is a slander on the professionalism of Mexican law enforcement, and I for one won't stand for it. Anyway, you guys are able to make a mistake and then we get the titles Skyfall 2.

The Sky is Samuel Paul. A huge L. This is the biggest L for the non-binary community. We've got one non-binary artist making a fucking James Bond theme and it's the shit. The shittest one since... Have you considered that maybe Octopus? That's what they all be great about. What if there was a fucking Octopus?

What if a guy was an Octopus? What if a naked sexy lady was an Octopus? What if you were an Octopus? It's so funny. Like again, the symbolism is always hamphys to the shit in these, but it's so funny. It's like they show like fucking Maz, Michelson, and then they show

have you remember him and they show the guy who turns out to be blowfeld and like a lot of tent to cause come up behind him and you're like well god he's the author of all your misfortunes. Oh hey the fuck I'll get into that fucking like Sam Mendez is back in the directing seat he was the director the last one which means this film is going to look very pretty at least. And also, I noticed something that I don't remember if it was on the last one or not, but we see co-producer Daniel Craig. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We do. Yeah, he started getting those sort of credits during, I don't know, but they even credited him it, but he started doing it in Quantum of Solace, because that was written during the writer's strike. Yeah. So he was doing a lot of his own writing, which I think is why it's good. What's good? Yeah, I don't know why writing in this one so much. I hate to say it, but we're actually pro-scab on this podcast purely because the writer's

Guild Strike resulted in a better written bond movie. Just because the show you should let actors also be writers. That's true. Please come and see Matt. The Taken Receive, baby. For every Quantum of Solace, you get a Transform also be writers. That's true. Please come and see my wife. Come and see my wife. For every quantum of solace, you get a Transformers revenge of the fallen, and I'm willing to roll those dice. So then we get a classic scene where Anne says, Bond, you piece of shit.

I wish you'd been drowned as a child. I'm going to give you late onset set, Southern Infant Death Syndrome. So, new M. And then a dingo steal you. Gareth Mallory, our man wearing the trousers of braces. Gareth. Gareth. Steve M.

It's very mad at Bond because this Mexico's fist-dabish for this man is M. That's a scene where he goes, fucking Bond, come on man. Yeah, and he's mad at bond. Yeah, the Mexico City thing was unsanctioned. He was just there on his own and bond lies to him about it. He's like, yeah, I was on vacation, fuck off. Which puts this in the the category of other of like of bond movies where bond goes rogue, right?

Which by this point is a good 20% of them. Well, that goes rogue more often than he is on the case. Why did they keep hiring one's batch? The movie, Daniel Craig does. The fucking job security at MI6 is outrageous. It's for the lads. And so anyway, M says, if you're on leave, you're on pay vacation,

you're fired, fuck you stand down. Then we hear that MI6 and MI5 are going to merge into a new joint security service, which will be headed up by a guy named C. And we meet him. Andrew Scott. And a man hoves into view. And viewer, if you are a Tumblr person, you're aware of this, you're aware of this. You're aware. You know Andrew Scott. This is Moriarty from BBC Sherlock. And he hoves into Scream. And I went to Moriarty. Well, no, not even that because he had the direction that I feel like Andrew Scott got here was like, you know how maybe you thought you were ever going to do a role again, which was going to employ subtlety. No. No, idiot. No, do fucking Moriarty again.

Be sinister. And so he shows off and he kind of widows his eyebrows at Bond. And he's like, oh, I think it's actually quite good that you're getting in trouble because I'm bad. And you know, I. To the point where I first saw this movie, I was like, oh, this is a red herring, like, sees obviously. He's got a bit of a good name.

His name is... He's name is... Yeah, really? Oh, my God. His name is C, he's the... I'm still a movie the full. Yeah. C is, by the way, the real life, like initial for the head of SIS.

But that's very funny, because it's like Bond does him this. He's just like, no, this is my name and Bond's like, I'm gonna call him. Well, this is the thing, he tries to be like, kind of like, like, shummy, like a kind of like, taxi, like my door's always open, the kind of thing. Please call me, call me, fucking, what? Call me Garas. Call me Garas.

Yeah, call me Mori Mori. Yeah, I'm Mori Mori. And Bond is like, no, I think I'll call you C for no reason. It's like, yeah. Yeah, sure. Anything could be, oh, because oh comes after M, whatever. Hmm. Don't even particularly well explained within the context of the movie.

Why are you having an alphabet? Yeah, they call him M, which would be? Yeah. Oh, does come after M, but no, immediately. We're doing our best to as far as possible. Of course. Yeah, chip in to obtain a carbon monoxide detector for Abby's flat. So Bond is on leave, but he asks money penny who is now still working the desk. She's found her level as sort of like secretary to help him out, like coming to his apartment

to deliver some shit that like, I guess was left over from his office. And she comes. And she comes. And she comes. And she comes. And she comes. And she comes.

And she comes. And she comes. And she comes. And she comes. And she comes. And she comes. And she comes. And she comes.

And she comes. And she comes. And she comes. And she comes. And she comes. And she comes. Yeah, this is the thing right. I was tempted to pull that, but like, I was like, I was zoned out at this point, because the writing is so flat in so many places. So I'm just like, yeah, it seems like you have a secret, because you don't trust anybody, and you're not gonna tell anybody that secret, because you don't trust anybody,

because of the secret. So she delivers two like unbelievable lines like that, and I'm gonna get to the second one in a minute. But James's apartment is classic male living space. I also wrote this. Yeah, I mean, this is like, but where Bond lives, right, is not, is like theoretically a good opportunity

for characterization, right? And the idea that like, it's just totally bare, it's empty because so is he. He is free. He is free. Yeah, yeah is he. He's got a PS5 somehow. He has one creative game of you. He's using as a chair. He's got a new traffic. Yeah, but like that's an interesting piece of characterization. But the thing that they fuck up is that it's untidy. And I thought Bond was like supposed to be this former naval officer, former special forces, curtain ironing psychopath. Like the guy in

layer cake is more like James Bond in this respect than James Bond. James Bond is like throwing shit around. He doesn't give a shit because he's like punished Bond. And it's like, that doesn't really, that doesn't make sense to me. I feel like it should be. So when you snickety about his clothes and his watches? Yeah, like he never has anything that wears anything that has a single like a crease out of place. And yet when you get to his house, he doesn't have a giant

water bottle of tuxedos. No, all of his suits in this movie, a dog shit. None of them fit. I was starting to notice it. I mean, so yeah, he up. A wrinkler not well, I shouldn't be. But like, yeah, he's got, he's got, he turns on the TV to play a recording that he's got and over it.

And James, it's me, Judith Dent from the movie Golden Eye. I've got a secret mission for you. Yeah, she's a four, she's a four sco's. She's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, basically a four sco's. She's a fucking previous, um, it's just like James, I've got one last mission. And who to the dying fucking breath could not understand what this guy's silver's deal was, couldn't understand what quantum was, has figured out on her own that the next step in the chain is this guy, Marco Skiara, go to Mexico City and kill him. They're related to the fucking skulls.

When was she recording this, by the way? When did she figure this out? But in people, the theme of this movie is Skyfall to money, then it gives us a box and says, these are the personal effects that we recovered from Skyfall. It's a bunch of pictures of like Bond and Mitchell together, but also Bond's old adoption papers because he's parents were killed in his job,

but he was adopted. The SIS boy is trapped between Bond and Mitchell every year. Jesus Christ. He spends too long looking at a picture that's like him, his like adopted father, and then there's a third guy there, but like the pictures ruin, so you can't see the third guy's face. Oh, that's a bad one. I wrote, please no.

What's really funny is that like, there was a period before this movie was released where they were trying, they had admitted because you can't hide this that they had cast first of outs, but they were trying to hide that he was blowfelt. So they would only refer to him using his alias. But like at this point, yeah, at this point, when you look at the burn photos next to him, Mitchell and Tanner, you know, on the beers, you're like, I love Tanner in this movie. Yeah, I love Tanner in this movie, too. Yeah, he's like, this is going to be the fucking guy. It's going to be easy. You're just doing blow-failing. Okay, fine. So,

it's so fucking, we'll get to a little bit my money penny money penny what money penny agrees to be his mole in MI6 and like accept the like sacredness of his secret mission from M. Yeah, the line that she gives him is like I've heard that the chat everyone says that you're finished and he goes what do you think and she goes I think you're just getting started. I write a strike more right is right. just getting started. Right. Right. Right. Right. So, so Tana comes to pick Bond up to take him to Q who is going to do a medical on him. He was invented another truck. This is the thing, right.

If you recall, if you recall Casino Royale, right, there was a bit where Q was quite snuffly, like, oh, we don't really go in for gadgets anymore. We don't really do Exploding Royal Skyfall It was it was and within a minute cutting-edge nano technology Smart blood Yeah, we're injecting you of smart blood.

What do you, okay, so, Casino, you shoot, kind of. They put a like a microchip tracker on them, right? Easy, normal. Specter, they give him one of those little micro radios that they had in fucking gold. Yeah, it's called a radio. They even fucking did a little lampshade on it. And then in this one they're like, no, it can't just give you a radio again, mate.

We're gonna have to inject you with smart, love, exploding watch. Yes, yes, because this is the thing right, we do. Bond, we don't really go in for gadgets anymore. Anyway, here's your smart blood, watch grenade, laser whip, cock ring, et cetera, et cetera. Here's the Asimon DB10, you can't have it, but I'm telling you not to steal it.

I even know that was your calm, whatever. Yeah, there's a couple of things here. I wrote three things. I wrote just doing some normal standing with the boys. I think I'll be posting on the account. So I'm doing this very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, Omega watch.

And then, oh, 009 rides again, right? Because the Aston Martin is supposed to be for 009. Yes. Yeah, the clown agent. Our clown agent. Yeah, absolutely.

Signing in a sign, too. We get a genuinely good joke, right? We get the, well, I say that, but Hugh refers to the previous Aston Martin, the one that wasn't the company car, but he's reconstructing and he goes, not much left of that, only the steering wheel. I leave, I said, bring it back in one piece, not bring back one piece. And then he has a little giggle.

Yeah, he laughs at his own jokes, which is very cute. And James turns around like Stoney faced. And you see both Tanner and Q are laughing at the jokes and they both go. Tana fucking owns. Oh absolutely. I mean Tana's my guy in this movie. Tana, yeah, Rory Keneer playing Mr. also appearing in this movie. I mean the thing is, right?

The thing that I see is that like Tana, Rory Keneer as Tana has been in I think every single one of the Craig Bond's. He's been in all of it. He's been in as many as Gogol. Yeah, he's just a mister still in the movie. Yeah, but they get a tiny bit more to do in this one. And for this, he owns my undying affection. He's getting a fair check, and I respect it.

So the point of the smart blood is to keep bond on the leash, they know where he is at all times, so he can't leave the country and he can't pursue any more leads on his own shit. And bond immediately undermines this by just going to cue quietly and just like, ah, go on, just, just, just, ah, go on. Just do as a solid chief. I don't know why I cue a greaseless, but he does. Cause he likes bond, something that had never been previously established. So that's two words to each other. Yeah. Yeah, cues like, uh, like two cover for me is like, oh, yeah,

and you'll have like about 24 hours before the signal starts working, but after that, we'll be able to track you. Um, at which point, no one checks during those 24 hours. And then afterwards, he just lies. So I don't know why he even... He's the only check. He's bound on someness. Absolutely. It's just cute.

So then I know, let me go to Rome. To this guy's funeral. Yeah, Bond steals the car and he goes to the guy's funeral. And I wrote down here, James, you kicked this man out of a helicopter. What do you imagine is in that coffin? Just going to the funeral of the guy I kicked up. It's like two sandbags and a spoon of him.

At least he's better behaved towards the winner than the last time you were to a spare time. Oh. So it's in this kind of like bare concrete morseling, because for some reason the Craig movies love kind of like bare concrete morseling, because for some reason, the Craig movies love the aesthetic of bare concrete. They think it's austere and like modern or whatever. I think it's cool too, sorry. Yeah, no, I don't dislike it.

It's just a little bit of a hallmark. So he sees the widow who is Monica Balucci and to which hello. I can dole and shoes and hello. Yeah, it's exactly. Sorry to hear this. You know, really happy to hear about your husband's day. Yeah, I mean, she's not even particularly cut up over it.

Yeah, as he notes. He knows that she's unaffected by his death and also that she is in danger because there's some heavy goon presence around her. And the back of a guy is head who bond recognizes. And at this point, I wrote down, do you want to go after the guy that you clearly just recognized in a big impactful way. No, woman detected. So he goes up to Monica Belucci and he's like, yeah, I kicked your husband out of a helicopter. Do you want to have sex with me? My name's James Bond.

Yeah, okay. And I wrote six minutes 30. Absolutely. Solid. Six minutes 30 from like being at your husband's funeral to having sex with James Bond even. Yeah, and go back to her house, hit men come Bond saves her and then they kiss and might not say why? Yeah, because fucking hell James. Yeah, he really puts the moves on her in a really quite dubious way.

I... I'm aggressive, right? It's... Yeah, it's up there with the shower from fucking Skyfall, as far as I'm concerned. He's got her against a wall, and it's like... She doesn't have a way out. She's in a very vulnerable place. Yes. They say that a monocle ballue, she's performance in this film.

Oh, oh. She's on the universe. Five minutes. Absolutely. Fucking incredible acting. She's really good. Absolutely. What's they seeing? It's a classic example of it. Craig is the one who's kind of driving the scene, but she steals the show. Absolutely.

Or watch this scene. Absolutely. It's amazing. And she is like, my husband, I hated him, but he was an assassin for a very scary organization. They're going to kill me. At this point, I wrote down, they probably want to kill her a bit less. If Bond hadn't made killing her in necessity by just showing up and being like, hey, what's up, what'd you like to make fuck with me?

What happens to her later in the film? We don't know. Well, no, she didn't know that. We don't kill her, which is progress, I guess, because after having sex, she's like, well, okay, you really don't want to go and investigate this secret organization because they're very frightening and deadly, but they're having a secret meeting at midnight in this palace.

So if you wanted to... She tells him this before they shack, and I will note that Cassina R.R. Craig would have left straight away because we saw him do that very thing in that stuff Yeah, that's true. It's like, it's only 10, very like I've got 10. Absolutely, absolutely. So she tells him where the secret meeting is And he leaves her Felix Leiter's phone number and is like, yeah, he can like get you out and under the radar

It's like no, he can like get you out and under the radar. It's like, he's not in this though. No, he's not. And it's like, what kind of witness protect? Imagine fucking Monica Balucci and Montana in witness protection. I just, but in any case, bond drives to the secret meeting out of, which is just like 50 super cars outside. That's a fucking building. There's a fucking concoordellagos.

What he does is he drives out of Italy and into the most English country house I've ever seen. It might even be Blenheim Palace, where there is a massive fucking parade of Bentley's and Maserati's and shit outside. And then one guy tries to stop him, right? Italian Dave Coney enters the frame and is like, uh, 500 flat nose. Yeah. He and his, he and his

shinkogento, uh, fucking flat nose regards, see show up and like, do you have, uh, do you have an invite fuck off with full no trainers? Bond flashes him the ring and of course he is very frightened by this and lets him in. And at this point Bond has now infiltrated the secret meeting which is being held on the account stress is enough, the first floor. Yes, the most capable part of any building. And then there's a balcony where a bunch of guys are just watching shit transpire because like the conference table is down below.

Public meeting. Yeah, exactly. You have, it's actually, it's unbelievable because there's one specific note about this that made me go completely insane, right? Because you've got big table in the middle of the fucking hall, you know, balconies all around people are watching it. Um, people on the table are discussing evil plans all our specter in the previous movies,

where they're like, we've done the great train robbery. Yeah, human tracking levels. And this woman is speaking in fucking French. And as soon as she starts speaking in French, everyone else puts in a little earpiece. So they have fucking translators like it's the US at this fucking secret meeting. Yes.

But most importantly, not just the people participating, but the... What is the setup? It's a fucking audience of presumably other specter guys, right? So it's like, your boss goes to... I'm telling you, I didn't see it in an opera. Yeah, your boss goes to a meeting and he brings you and all of your colleagues

to just watch him hopefully not get executed by touching a big metal plate. Like, I mean, this is clearly the metal plate scene. I'm waiting for someone to touch their hand on the metal plate. Someone's getting fucking metal plates. Yeah, because it's showing. So you're fucking up. Yeah.

They're fucking up because in the middle of this meeting, so they mention doing human trafficking that comes up later, they are behind the merger between my five and my six. And then Blowfeld, we don't know his blowfeld, but his blowfeld, he arrives. And this bit's great, because everyone makes sounds like everyone's super scared, it's very threatening, it's a really nice bit. But like, we need to establish why they're scared of him, because he needs to dunk someone in a shark tank or kill someone, but he doesn't. Instead, we get Dave Batista as Mongo. Yeah, hold on, I've got an Abbey drop for this one. Mongo, Mongo is here, we've got a Mongo, everybody. Yes, a Mongo, Walter C.

I thought those words, I wrote that down. Because boy, for enters the meeting, and he does have this good thing, where everybody's terrified of him, and he goes quite amusedly, don't let me interrupt you, and everybody has to try and find their place again. quite amusedly don't let me interrupt you. And everybody has to try and find their place again. But then a guy volunteers to take care of the pale king

who we heard about in Mexico City. Yeah, Skihara was in charge of taking care of the pale king. Skihara's dead, right? So blowfarts like, okay, we need someone to take over. Skihara's shabang, his whole business. And one guy, Mr. Briefly appearing in the two. Mr. Spanish, in the Spanish. I would love to do that to which he both goes, anyone else want to challenge him for this role? And and Mongo wanders

in. Mongo who has to who. Okay, let me, the other scene game of threats. Are you familiar with game of threats? Sure. You're not that bit where the big guy with the thumbs in the eye, the killed the classic classic, classic thumb in eye thing. Yeah. You know how that was really good in Game of Thrones, because I hate to say the word, but subverted your expectation, right? Yeah.

Because it's really shocking and it was done in service of driving the plot forward. And what if we did it again? For kind of no reason. Just what if we did it again? But for kind of no reason. Just what if we do it again? Other than to establish that Dave Batista, Earth's largest man is physically threatened. Yeah, the sign was absolutely intentional. What if we just...

What if that? Yeah. He has... Mongo in this film has metal thumbs and a weird gum. But they just show this at all. So I didn't know it's either of those things Mongo in this film has like metal thumbs and a weird one. But they just show you this at all. So I didn't know it's either of those things until they're just wearing a nail polish only on the thumbs.

I didn't get that there was supposed to be like classic egg behavior, but like. You don't even need metal thumbs to gouge a guy's eyes out It's violent because it's easy. You just get the thumbs in there But like I did it to get this job on the podcast Absolutely. Yeah, that's oh you don't want to know who we had Yeah, no because what they wanted to do is they're like okay It's been a while since we've had you know an iconic henchman cap like

Okay, it's been a while since we've had, this guy, yeah, that would have been so bad. I think of the funniest fucking shit because, um, blow-felds like, get some of the monocle, like, uh, microphone and he's like, we got a guest in here tonight, like, shout out to my boy in the balcony. James Bond. James guest in here tonight like shout out to my boy in the balcony James Bond James Bond is here tonight Mash cut bond immediately jumps through a fucking To go

I'm looking for a spot in the middle of it. Blowfeld makes a little bird call noise. He's like, and he's like, that's James Bond. Get him. But he's not even like, he's like, Leanne's in, he's like, we got a guest here tonight. How's it going? James Bond. What took you so long?

And at this point, I wrote down. So the point about the secret meeting is that it's a trap, right? If Blowfeld's expecting him, but the, but the, but he just leaves. But then he just leaves. He's just leap. Like, what's really funny is like there's a way to pass doing it in the palace, doing it with a shit, like a shitload of people who don't need to be there having all the cars out front as a way of like Luring bond in and blow I like you and translate

I like the idea of blow fell being like I'm not being like to unsuttle am I he's knocking like see through this when he sees All the families hard Yeah, exactly exactly but then once he is in the trap, what Bluffo does is identify James Bond, make a bird noise at him, and make no attempt to detain him whatsoever. It is a situation of his making and entirely within his control and Bond leaves my ass like a window. He's a selector. He's a specter and a little bit more He reveals his real plans. His genuine actual plan. And like,

A couple bunch of wild shit just like, yeah, we've bought Disneyland. We've, we're behind the COVID, but just the vaccine, not the rest of it. It is just real. Like in St. We've delivered the Xbox One, like just makes you know. We've got all the PS5s. Like, it's not even like I'll tell you my plan because I'm going to kill you because he doesn't try to kill him. Two guys shoot at him kind of like a day's ago.

And he just makes your lips. What happens is he goes, are we going to special boy in the audience tonight? Let's go a big shout out to James Bond. It's his birthday everyone And like the guy that James bluffed to get in walks up and goes your nicked sub Yeah, James fucking like judo throws him off the balcony and leaves What Get in the car at which point Hinks is like in the car, which point Hinks is like, I guess that's my job.

Yeah, which point is my job. I guess that's my job. I got to go chase the guy down. Yeah. And we get the least exciting car chase I've ever seen in my life. Do you know what the thing is, right? This movie is, the Craig take on bond.

It's like, oh, we're going to be a bit grisky. We're going to reboot it for a modern age and like, it's gonna have this arc and it's gonna be, yeah, you know what? Previous Bond movies had a lot of comedy car chases. You know what we've been missing for a while? Comedy car chases. And so.

He's getting chased by Mongo. And like, Mongo does nothing without the scene. He's just also trying to follow him. Yeah, he's just it's like a chase but he's not doing anything. Well, he's in an astamite and then Mongo is in a jacuzzi. Remember Dine, have a tale. But yeah, he gets stuck behind a guy and like at one point he calls money penny and has

a full conversation with her and then hangs up. It's such a... So that just happened. Asked thing. Again, the marvelous creeping in here. But yeah, no, there's a guy in a fear of 500 listening to fucking opera who bond has to shunt out of the way and then we get a shot of the fucking airbag going off in his face.

He like tests the like the gadgets that he doesn't know what they do. One of them says, atmosphere. He hits that and it goes now playing atmosphere for 009 and starts blasting Sinatra. And I am more obsessed with the idea of a British secret agent who is super into the rap pack than I am with the crazy finger. So true.

He loves Sinatra. So the. Lobs and not just. So pretty. And there's a lot of running to you. Going out to do some extrajudicial assassinations and listening to Dean Martin in my Aston Martin is so funny. I'm obsessed with that. So then we also know that the Pale King is Mr. White from Cassino Royale and Bond delivers the line

quantum of course and I'm like of course what? What the the same thing? They've just I also enjoy the pale king is a new mononym that he's he's is a new code word that he's been given when they've decided that he's I saw the point that like he was part of he was part of the organization and they just called him Mr. White and then he went Semi-Rogue and they were like all right. This guy's called the pale king now and we've got to kill him I feel the point of a code name The point of a code name has to be that it's not something related to their like name Right and his previous name is Mr. White.

Well, if it had been fucking Mr. Slate who survived, would they have had to come up with like a cute name based off of that? Yes. So it would have. So Bond escapes by virtue of a fucking ejecticy, stupid, don't care. I don't really go in for it's putting pens on.

Yeah. Also, Bond, presumably a Catholic based on a line in this movie and the priest hole in Skyfall. I do wonder if doing burnouts in an Aston Martin, in St Peter Square, like bothers him religiously. I think that's actually based. I think it's good if anything. I think that's cool about it. So, we see some more of the plot that C has.

A more cross-evident, sir. No, no, no. What if Edwin is what is what is what if what if what if? Where you want to make a, you want to make a, a plot point about mass surveillance and about espionage being bad, but you also want to liar noise, the current existing forms of mass surveillance and intelligence. So you have to create a new thing to do that. So instead of the five eye system, which is real and exists, we have the nine-eyed system, and it can't be, you know, GC...

Four-eyed. Yeah, so many more hours. It can't be GCHQ or MI5 or MI6. It has to be this new thing, the fucking committee on national security or whatever. Yeah, they've built a new building for it as well. Yeah, what if spying was bad? What if, though?

And we see that like nine-ois initiative, which is gonna unite global security forces and create a sort of panopticon requires unanimous ascent, but the South Africans do not want to vote for it. And see sort of 12, this is a moustache and goes, oh well, we'll see about that won't we? M, who is also in the room. They'll change their mind easily.

Yeah. M has fucking converted to the lib Dems in between movies. Because he's now like, ah, well, surveillance, it's not so good. That's democracy for you, isn't it? And it's like literally. Like, we need to literally swinzer. You are the head of the British foreign intelligence service.

Literally M, genuinely says to him, and this is a great line for everyone at home, he goes surveillance is a fact of life. But it's just about who has access to those. I'm like, no. There's another bit further on where he goes. Raw, here he goes. Watch M.I.C. stations.

Who watched everyone? See, see, you're not supposed to watch everyone you're only supposed to Being be you do being hoisted by some kind of pet art So bond of all of the same bond finds out where the payal king, Mr. White is, which is in Austria. And at this point, he infiltrates his little log cabin. And I had a stunning realization because what Bond does is he enters an Austrian basement in order to discover a secret family. He does this, yes.

Double-O Fritzel, arriving on the scene. Does have a gamer basement. He does. A line in the previous scene where M goes, he calls Q and is like, yeah, where's Bond right now? Because he's just been shown by Tanner like a fucking news article about the massive car chase that happened yesterday.

He's like, that's fucking Bond, I know that's Bond. And he was like, like brings up the fucking screen and it shows that he's in Austria and he goes, yeah, I've got him now, he's in Chelsea. And I'm like, you should have made up a funny align, mate. You should be like, yeah, yeah, he's in fucking and dag'm like you should have made up a funny align made. Yeah, yeah, he's in The

Gender identity clinic Embarrassing for James Toby Carvery and Sloud Barbarian Slas. He's sort of pizza or expression. He's on the road from Barnard Castle. So Bond goes to... These are locations that are funny. So Bond finds Mr. White.

Mr. White has gone gamer mode. He is de-sheveled. He has long hair. He has a beard. He lives in a basement where he has white... He looks like the two of my thoughts. If you enter a guy's gamer basement. Yeah, he has a beard. He lives in a basement where he has like the six things. If you enter a guy's game of basement and he has 60 screens in a light up keyboard, don't fuck it.

At least give it three years and way from to transit. But the Mr. White, it has been poisoned with like radiation. And it's Italian because of yeah tailion. Yeah, they put phallimony spines. They need mongoes to fucking smash his eyes in. I don't know. I guess to get to him before Bond does, but he doesn't. Bond gets there first. So, yeah, Bond talks to Mr. White and it turns out that what happens is that Mr. White has engaged in a sort of Lincoln project for Spectre where he was just like cool with all of the previous shit like blowing up

airline and stealing all the Bolivia's water, etc etc etc. He's not being in that club with a fake boyfriend. But now Blowfeld has gone too far and he wanted to like restore respectability and civility to the discourse. Respectability. Ah, that's very funny. And so, and so Blowfeld has simply poisoned him instead and given him. Yeah, he was like, he was like, I don't like all this this human trafficking that's happening and blowfeld to God. But okay, that nowhere is at all. Anyway, take a big sip from this glass right here, please. Yes.

You think it's brown water? Please touch your hand. This metal plate. Yeah. Also Mr. White has a daughter. Yes, a sister daughter, a secret family. And she can like, Oh, she 9-11's this fucking movie.

I, I swear to God, like, Leicester, right, a thinly cut slice of wet cold ham dropped on this and the next movie, just squarely on top of it. So she, so she's his daughter, a name is Madeline Swan. She's like living in hiding, but she can lead Bonn to blowfeld. And then yeah, also all of this is being filmed because of surveillance themes. No, no, Mr. White says, um, uh, find my daughter, she can lead you to America. Yes, it's French for the American. Uh, and then yeah, he's like, I'll protect her. And he

goes, well, you want the fuck do you mean, dude? No, you won't. Yeah, you won't. You're fucking have a gym. You are like zero for three on this shit. It's a gun in the middle of a table and goes, how about that? Yeah, how about that? He shoots himself in the head. Yes. And you go, that's a scene, baby. That's a scene. Ship it. Pack it up. Let's go. Meanwhile, it's got a next location, baby. Next location is London, because C has to give Emma tour of the new shield building. Where we learned it. You're gay because you know, a kill that he won. Yeah.

Well, first of all, we learned that spying is good when it's not like, when is the government doing it? Good God. The government couldn't afford this kind of facility. No, it was better factor, mostly from the private sector. Uh-huh, sure, blowfeld. And then basically, M just kind of calls C a bitch.

Like his thing is like, C things to the double-o program is obsolete. The thing that M thought one movie ago. And because he thinks it's obsolete, because he's a drones guy, he's a tech guy, he thinks we can automate this shit. Uh, and M gives an impassioned speech, uh, about how maybe you should kill someone yourself before you decide whether it's good or bad to kill someone yourself. Finishing really does with the baffling line. A license to kill is also a license not to kill. Does writers come back yet? They're on the way. I swear to God.

They're on the train right now. They're coming. I... I... Okay, or any minute? I just... I think a lot about how one movie ago, M. New M. Gareth Mallory, was like characterized as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Special Air Service in Northern Ireland, who operated a shoot to kill policy for many of those motherfuckers ever make the license. They didn't have a license, that's the thing, they had no choice but to kill. We're giving you a license to use your discretion to kill, which is good because when I was

in the SAS, we used to just open up on pre-planned ambushes on Toyota Hi-As is full of suspected IRA men and occasionally kill some people who just got them across fire. And therefore, as a consequence, it's good that we have to double-o section because James Bond. I'm going to start applying this to other things. I'm like, I'm licensed to drive. It's also a good thing to take you. Gender recognition certificate is also a certificate to not recognize your gender.

So Bond has to go to a strange clinic for the third time in his life. And it's... Yes, yes, I have a drop for this. I'll be glad to get my feet on the ground. Not ground. I'm going to the fucking piss of Gloria, which is a yeah, where Lennus, though, has been fucking hiding out in this entirely glass clinic on a mountain. Yes, yes. Using the same aliased doctor Madeline's one, using her name. Using her name.

And so she invites Bondin. Bond is there under the pretext of a psychiatric evaluation. And so she asks him, you know, do you wear a dress when you jack off? I also wrote down, do 10 to 15 minutes of gender psychiatrist bit, because I understand us as friends and us as a podcast. Yes. I'm also like almost here is not like what Alison I have actually been through in real life.

Yeah. Not been on the last episode was not a joke. Just what I'm like. Oh, no, absolutely. I had to pay to be asked this question. Oh, I got it for free, but I had to wait two years. So yeah, she asks him about jerking off. And like, again, this is kind of a thing, right?

This, doing a psychiatric psychological evaluation of James Bond is potentially an interesting idea. The way of doing some characterization, it was an interesting idea when they did it. Last movie. Yeah, Skyfall 1. Yes, yes, you don't need to do it again. He's like, he's an empty guy who like lives for killing and doesn't think he can do anything else and then let us

Know the flattest actor in fucking history is the one who is over the course of the rest of this movie gonna make him realize, ah, what if I don't have to just do this forever? So if I don't have to just do this forever. It's stupid. So. Anyway, he's like, yo, your dad's dead. Can you help me find a man? Is he really dead? Yeah. Where he talks about her fucking education history and his like, tell me, how come someone who has ends up

in a place like this to which I wrote, as a highly paid cycle? It's going out of this in a fully glass house. The really funny thing is like Fucking made it just just because of like how bond is written and and who he is It's delivered in exactly the same tone and cadence as we can't all be geniuses can we Does the toppling of American missiles really compensate for having no hands? Just being a highly paid psychiatrist really compensate for having a dead dad who I killed.

To which she offers the only the only codient response to James Bond, get out of my office. Yeah, at which point, you lose that, I'm in the film, James. And Bond's like, yo, I got this ring off a guy kicked out of a helicopter, do some science shit. And then Bond sees Swan being kidnapped by Mongo. Yes. Yeah, we get, so James goes to the bar and he's like vodka martini, you know, like, no, we've only got gay drinks. We've only got gay shit like vitamins.

For the Lanaman, let's fix you go. Gay shit, like, vitamins. The animal, let's face it up. That's not a lot. Yeah. It's just a series of things fucking happen here. I like you sweater in this. There's two things I like. Right. One where one is Q sweater.

The other is he beats up the security guard to like the clinic security guard. So we're like incidental to him finding the specs of guys to go and beat up. And there's a bit where he like punches the first one unconscious. The second one comes out and he just goes like, no, stay. I like that a lot. It's like, just simply opt out of this fight scene. I like that. He uses his bricks. Yeah. Very high for Swade's girl. Absolutely. Absolutely. He uses Agne on this guy, and he's just like, no. He's in timidate.

Yeah, absolutely. No, he goes, all right. Farad, this is a, he's like, I'm not paid enough of that. I worry about it. Yeah. That's the luck where you're roaring round page of revenge. On Chase's Mongo in a plane. And this chasing this, so.

So fucking stupid. Oh, I don't know. It's a long scene. He's being chased by some goons and we, I think, oh, that's interesting. Is Q going to get to do it? Now he hides in some cup. Yeah, Q gets in a chairlift and then sitting across from him

is the world's most I am an assassin guy ever. Yeah, he gives him a little smile like I am going to kill you now and then Q just escapes. Perhaps. Yeah, Q hits the bricks. Oh, also I did have a drop. I did have a drop from when Q was in the fucking bar with Bond, which is simply my balls for Christmas decoration. Balls, Q.

Just enjoy that in your own time. Sort of a lot of new there. Bond rescues one of the cast of the car. Monga's still alive. Yeah, he gets thrown out of the car, knocked unconscious. And it's like, dude, just fucking like take his stupid little double barold pistol. Yeah, let's talk about Mongo's other gun.

Yes. Mongo has an armory in this, but they didn't bother to draw attention to it. So you just have to go frame by frame to see he's got the weirdest weapons on God's earth. So he's got iron thumbs, and he has a two guns blue to get an arsenal firearms

prismatic and arsenal firearms is this kind of like niche boutique nerd shit firearms manufacturer of people too much money you're exactly well they just fucking well would to 19 11 side by side so he just has one of those but But yeah, no, so he fucking gets knocked unconscious. Bond just leaves. Then we go back to the hotel room and Q has like, I've analysed the ring. And it has taken a look at this ring from Lyshevra, Mr. White, Dominic Green, Silver,

and the guy who we think has got friends over has and we don't you know he's birth of. I think specter really need to start washing their rings. Yeah they're all doing come big comes all over it. Yeah. Yeah I've had a gander of this ring. When you get into spenders. I now know everything. I love top by the way. Which can do this. When you get into specter everybody else has to lick your ring just before you get it. Oh no, that's a fucking old generation. Oh, I'm Madeline's, that like, oh, this is a secret organization,

I'm Madeline's one, it's called Spectre. I'm a guest spectre, Spectre. Spectre? Spectre. Also, there's been a bombing. There's been a bombing in Cape Town, and so that we're going, ooh, interesting. He's like, Bond, you have to find Limerican, and so that we're going, ooh. Interesting.

He was like, Bond, you have to find Limerican. He's our only lead. I'm not a little like, in the most predictable bit of writing to him stuff, which is like, Limerican is not a man. It's a place. All of her lines have delivered like this, just like really kind of like,

this is such a shabby job. Smash cut to Tanji, do do do do do do do do. Bond, do you have to go to the next location. Fuck, it's yellow again. Yeah, they put the yellow mode on. Yes. There's two filters in this movie, Blue and Yellow, very smart, everyone.

And they literally just swap between and based on the ambient temperature of country. Yeah, I get a gunpowder. Oh, also, also, we do find out in the course of the laptop scene that France, over how it was like James Bond's adoptive father's biological son, right? Is Bond was adopted after his parents died in a climbing accident? And his bonds, step bro. Yeah, exactly.

Why do you do that? I'd take him out the world. What is James' fucking biography and his god damn move? It's because in the first one, they're like, he's an orphan. Yeah. And like, you're an outsider, James, because you were raised by an Austrian man. And then in the previous one, they were like, okay,

but you did live in Wayne Manor. And then this one's like, also, you were adopted. After that, you were adopted by an Austrian man. By a different, yeah, by a, you were taught to shoot by a gilly adopted by an Austrian man and then you were like, I don't know. Your mum was in the sped snout as James. What do you like, fuck off? There's no, there's no, there's no, there's no, there's no, there's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's

no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped there's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma. There's no sped trauma thing about backstory is you don't actually have to show it. You can just be like, remember when this happened to you James, which is, yes, which is a hotel in Tangier and incidentally,

a doctor swan by this point who has been kidnapped from work like the middle of a work day and then immediately gotten on a plane to Tangier has like a different outfit just for Tangier. She's changed. Madeline has fully gone off one glass of red wine. Yeah, she gets drunk. She gets drunk. She gets drunk. She does do that to you. Yeah, that happens to the best of us.

Yeah, Madeline just fully goes off. Interesting. James. I won't have sex with you James Bond. James Bond. James, I'm actually not, I'm actually going to be in the rest of this movie, so I won't have sex with you yet, James. Yes. And James finds out that there's actually gonna be in the rest of this movie, so I won't have sex with you yet, James. Yes.

And James finds out that there's a big hole in the wall. Yeah, we enter the third thing that I like in this movie, which is Bond just gets drunk like because he can't have sex with her, and he sees a mouse and he draws his gun on the mouse and he's like, who sent you, which I found a very amazing. I did it, Jenna, that was very cute. Bond's a little like private joke to himself, is very funny, but he follows that mouse behind a false wall and finds that Mr. White has a sort of like war room prepared. He's got a second game of basement.

Yes. A second game of basement, which is entirely geared towards killing blowfeld. And we see, hey, hey James, remember when that thing happened? So we see him find the VHS tape of Vespil being tortured in Casino Royale, which is quite a fucking heavy thing to drop on us. And he's just like, yep, not watching that, which is a good mental health decision, well done, James. Yeah.

Absolutely, that's called self-care. Has the white pretty good content when I got in the cell? Yeah. Yeah. God, so, okay. Fucking happening. It's a guy on a train.

Yeah, he has to work out that the fucking in the middle of nowhere in Southern Morocco, I think. No, Algeria, maybe. I don't remember. Yeah, yeah, somewhere like that. Within the Safari. Yeah. And they have to get a train down there. Meanwhile, back in London, because all of this shit is being woven together. Seemless is actually so good. The nine eyes vote passes the double our programs closed. MQ and money, but I'm like, oh, James is an Africa, but now we can't do anything on his own. Yeah, because because of the omnipresent surveillance, which is now bad, the more we try and help him, the less it benefits him,

because we're just feeding blow-felled information on him. Yeah, I don't like it is time for us to stop being in this movie for the next 45 minutes and I went thank you thank you so much. And Ron tries to teach Madeline Swanty's a gun and she knows. This is a thing right she doesn't have to be taught anything because Mr. White has already taught her to like fend for herself. This is not something that the movie will live up to at all. She's like supposed to be capable because that's girlboss and feminism. Too capable.

Not more than a little man. She gives a little backstory that we'll explore in more detail in her fucking no time to die but she's like, yes, when I was a little girl, someone came to my house to kill my father and I didn't realize I also had a gun Wasted like that's cool. Yeah, wasted wait. Absolutely shot that I'm not done in the water Is it brain to spree? It has mask I'm not really malic. I know it's say James Bond loves to fall in love with women in the diner car at the train does

I would say James Bond loves to fall in love with women in the diner car at the train. He does. He does like to be safe. Where else would he be? So he is dressed in a white dinner jacket with a red coloration like Sean Connery and he looks like a fucking dipshit. So there's two things right here. That's so fucking out. The wardrobe director of this movie claims that this is an allusion to Casablanca, which

if so, stupid, nothing to do with each other. I prefer to think of it as the triumph of the same guy. I wrote this, yeah, I wrote this in the group shout out. Because this is the movement he truly became same guy. Complete with a non-slime, because she comes out in this admittedly very nice looking dress, right? I remember this fucking line. And the, she, she, there's the fucking line. You shouldn't stay. Why you shouldn't look like that? You shouldn't look like that.

Uh, ooo, nonce. Nonce. Sorry. I hate to say it's taken as this long to finally do it, but I'm pointing it down your cray-cane pond in this moment and saying, non-stop. Well, that's the thing. It upsets me that before I transitioned, I had better lines than chamber. Well, the thing is right, craycane.

I know, that's the craycane. The craycane's suck had better lines, and one of his moves was sucking on a woman's fingers in the shower. They were still better than this, but this is the thing, right? He's now been, he's been replaced by the same guy. Um, specter or the assassination of Craig Fingusuck by the coward. That's right. That's right. And then at this point, right? She, she, she, she, she remanded, she has to, uh, she has to become the second great love in James Bond's life.

By, by simply telling him James you don't have to do your shitty job that you hate forever. It's like she literally is like James. James, James, there's another way. She's like James, it doesn't always have to come down to violence and he goes, you're right and then immediately Mr. Hinks kicks the evil into her face. Yeah, off the top row. Like Dave but he's not.

Oh fuck, down. She does get the taste of Bob. Wasted. He's dead. The thing is right. Literally. He's just kept instantly. He's not even thinking.

He's not done. I'm just a bit of luck. That was put through the play. I'm wasted. I mean, the thing. I said, this reminds me of the last time was put through the flip. Yeah, I wasted. I mean, the thing- I don't say this reminds me the last time

a big guy attacked me in a train when I was the same guy. Yeah, and the other last time when a big guy attacked me on a train when I was the same guy. Also- And also shit, there's so many times he's been attacked. Yeah, but like, acting, right, it's so flat that it's just, it doesn't sell it at all. Daniel Craig is trying his best,

but she's just like, you don't have to be miserable forever. You could transition, it's called this to a dial, I've read your prescription. And Daniel Craig is like, this is the most and most of the thing I've ever heard in my life. I'm barely, she's like, I trust, she could just write in the recommendation. We can get this on the fucking side. I know you need to, I think. She could just write in the recommendation. We can get this on the fucking side.

I know you need to. I think she could write a second one inside a different name, whatever. You could do anything. It's a Madeline Swan with one end. No such thing as laws. Absolutely. So at this point, she gets betuced abond.

She does. She just loses. She gets completely removed from the runtime for the next few minutes. Back in London, see sort of glows with Emma a little bit and we get some extremely normal walking to follow that extremely normal standing. They walk down a corridor and talk and they're walking fucking like walking is awful. I mean, I understand M's thing because his trouser braces a half way up to his fucking ovaries, but like what sees excuse?

fucking ovaries, but like what sees excuse? Garth is emoting angrily while working. No, I think I know the reason is the reason is that the camera is in front of them on like on wheels. If they walk at a normal speed, they will collide with the camera. So they get out of the hospital and sliding really crazy because there's a guy going backwards on a trolley in front of him. So, so, so, so, so, money penny, and Q have to go rogue. Meanwhile, bond is fighting Monco on the train. What's Monco's one thing for hand-to-hand combat?

We've seen him use. Does he have the thumbs? Does he have the thumbs? No, he doesn't have to have the thumb. He just didn't have the thumb today. Forgot my, forgot my fucking nail glue. The eternal moment of the fam. He's just a fan of this one.

And so he can't fucking gouge Bond's eyes out. And then the way that like he's too large for Bond to beat him. And so much like the last guy who's too large for Bond to fight on train, the way he has to do it is to like get a rope around his neck and then throw him off the train using that. And Mongo gets his only line in the movie, which is when he realises this is about to happen to him and he just goes shit Fine and I quite I I didn't mind that I also quite liked the choice for there to not be any music during this fight Just the sound of the train I quite like that My only other note is I Dave's fucking huge. Hey. Oh, I did that in fucking for my show I did a fucking before I know it's a direct illusion and it says as much when you move the mouse on Amazon

it comes up on a side saying this is a direct illusion to it and I'm like yeah I get it. It's the same guy. The thing about doing illusions is you've got to have like a movie to do that. It can't all be illusion. No, no, no, it's all illusions. It's like a totally illusion. This is what this movie is. It's like a collapse of the text, right? And into like just references. Because it's an illusion to specter. He's actually fine even over last time. We saw a blow-feld who was tossed down a fucking smoke stack. That's right.

It was like a real chair. It was all drops. That's right. So, yeah, which we're building to. So Bond and Madeline get out of the train at blowfield stop and Rather nicely he sends a Rolls Royce for them and I mean this is just

When I was the same guy all of the other times when I was the same guy when the guy was like welcome to my secret base Please leave your loaded gun with me my butler and I'll fucking like show Yeah, I just wrote, welcome to next location. Please, please, promote this dress. I would like it if a villain took bond at the secret location and in Bond's room on the bed is like a dress picked out for him. I don't know exactly what he was, but he also is. Only silver would have had the balls to pull this off

legitimately. All right, that's not right if we have a gap bond wrong rooms and then Madlet's going out wearing this really oversized suit like I think something's gone wrong. We have two scared to say capture. How are the don't make like wear for no doubt fit. Yeah Um, he's like done the on Saturday. Did he bring that? Also, they leave that out for you. They're, they're rooms where they're being held captive. Is your panties? Have that, have photos for psychological warfare. So for, uh, for Madeline, it's like her and her dad.

And for Bond, it's like him, his adoptive dad and blowfeld. Um, and then yeah, at this point, I adoptive dad and Blowfeld. And then... Yeah, at this point I wrote, yes. We're building to it. We're building to it because... An hour 41, no one's coming. An hour 41, we're finally about to start the movie. So, so fucking...

Well, it takes place over the course of 10 minutes this fucking movie. Yeah. So, Blowfeld invites them into a room with a cool rock in it. Yeah, yeah, they're running out of things to do an evil speech about basically. Yeah, so he's just like ad-libbing it based on what's in the room. They walk in there and there's just like a meat right in the middle and it's like Mr. Bond, check this shit out. It's an unstoppable force, Mr. Bond.

Like, they love like me or you in the, it hit the earth, it was in space alone for a long time and then it came to and then we also get the first the first of the weirdly sexual blowfeld lines of which there are a few where he just goes touch it touch it if you want yes actually I'm just gonna stress Mr. I'm just gonna hit you with the rest of them while I'm at it. So James Why did you come so James? I'm going to penetrate you came across me so many times It's just it's it's weird. It's weird that they Every one of his line starts with so James so James Yeah, so he reveals himself. He's fucking Hannibal. He's got the fucking Neru jacket.

And he's like, so James, it's me, your brother, step brother. Now you've seen my call rock. Do you want to come and see my gamer room? Do you want to come and see my LAN party? And that's just so tried. And so yeah, I wrote Mr. Bond, well, can I do it? Yeah, he says a room full of dudes on screens. So good.

This is sure. The, the meteorite by the way, the point of it is it's the meteorite that made the crater that the base is built in. Don't care. He thinks it's cool. Like, what about L plus no bitches. So yeah, don't do it to me. It's just, the, no, it's doing the blowfelt.

So the, the, thank you by Christ. The, the dude room is like, blowfelt surveillance center where he is manipulating events by spying on everybody. He's got a lot of iPad and he plays the video from, from the camera that we mentioned earlier of

Mr. White killing himself to Madeline and Bond and Bond has to try and like Get Madeline not to watch it by being like look at me this guy you met an hour ago Yeah, it's kind of like The actors are doing their best man. They're trying so hard, but there's nothing here. No, no. It's, there's nothing. It's like, Lowell is stood in the middle of this room with the two of them being like, James, it's all James.

I did it all. I fucking hate this bit because you want to go off here. I want to fucking prep him for this week. I want to go off. I want to go off on this because what Lowell does is he has to tie it all together. Right? God, he does. And so what he says is all of all of it was me is it's it's all been me. Every movie, casino royale, the guy whipping whipping your balls, your dick and balls to the

knotted rope, that was me. The guy who said quantum weird, that was also me. The guy who said quantum weird that was also me the guy with the fucked up teeth that was me It's all been me all along the whole time James. It's been me your evil brother And then he fucking delivers this line the author of all your pain Oh your pain First of all accent going a bit weird bit sort of Essex hairdresser in the last bit the author of all your pain. First of all, accent going a bit weird, bit sort of Essex hairdresser in the last bit. The author of all your pain, but yeah. What's the point, Alex, you're quite clearly, man. He's not after the last film.

Yes. How will you be author of all of his pain? Why? You would be all of it. I did it all, all of it, every movie, baby. Even when you were the same guy, it was all me. Yeah. I hate Blowfeld as a fucking villain so much.

She's literally never been interesting in any movie they put in. The only way you can make Blowfeld less interesting to me is to make him his secret brother. And that's what they fucking do. Which is like genuinely the twist from the end of Goldmember, where Dr. Elon Austin Powers were revealed to be step brothers,

and they did that as a bit years before this. We're not so different in this one, I guess. It was normal and real. Yeah. If we did this unironically. Oh, it just sucks, dude. I manipulated the bisexual Mexican guy into killing your mom.

I, it's like, I had a woman covered in oil for some reason. I, I, I, I, I, that was me. That was me. That was me. The author of all your pain. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You did. They should have had fun. Call it. So everyone go, oh, no, you were. You fucking fuck. It was all him. He was the man behind the man behind the man. It was all along.

He was the author of all your paint. He was the one who made Mitch go rogue. Yeah, that's the worst bit. Yeah, so it's now time. I'm a fucking brain drill machine. Yeah, it's the guy who keeps taking over lines away from Tanner. Remember. The author of none of Tanner's lines.

Tanner, once again, checking his scripts and just seeing stage direction present. Yeah. And he's like, oh, fucks. Yeah, so remember the line from Casino Royal. I never understood all these elaborate touches. I found that whipping your cock and balls with a knotted rope was always perfectly sufficient. Unfortunately, my love torches have a lot of...

The author of all your pain. Fucking loves him. Love that shit. Love that shit. He's gonna strap you to a fucking robot dentist chair and drill into the side of your head to try and give you brain diseases. My notes at this point are just saying, this is so fucking funny.

Because none of this is real. Yeah, and it just really will do anything except let you transition. And also there's a white cat there. And then he's drilling bonds, brain and bonds like, ah, you're a dick, there and then he's drilling bonds, praying and bonds like, ah, you're a dick, friends. And he's like, actually, and my name's in Stavra Bluffel. I changed it.

And I got my phone. I killed my dad. And the reason why I was calling you a couple is because you, you're like a cuckoo egg. You like displaced me from the love of my father. Therefore, I had no choice but to kill him in an avalanche, become an evil genius, kill that woman with the oil, but I want the author of all your pain.

And now, and now, just start dreading. I've no choice but to become the author of all your pain. It was in this moment he truly became the author of all your pain. What a fucking waste of this guy. And then like Jesus, so his thing is he's going to do neurosurgery on Bond, but evil. So he's going to make him forget Madeline Swan's face and confuse her with vestball. And he's going to give him face blindness. I already have.

Yeah, she looks like a sullen 12 year old to me. I have no interest. Yeah, you're right. It is worth noting but also during the train, during part of this scene Madeline tells him that she loves him and I go, why? She, the woman who like doesn't need to be taught anything, she defend herself three days ago.

Has been, is like from her job. Sitting totally unrestrained in a chair, just like, oh, don't do that. Please don't drill it to my boyfriend's skull. I'm not gonna get up. I'll be honest, I'm gonna sit here. But I'm gonna sit here with the weird thing where I have like my ankles apart and my knees together

like because it makes me look more vulnerable. Yeah, so really have to pee. Yeah, exactly. I'll see you first if you're a Facebook low farts doing his torture shit. So it won really have to pee. Yeah, exactly. Plus, if we're a Facebook, low fuzz, being a torture shit, so, so, so he won't let me go. So, so Bond has his gadget watch, remember? Um, now, yeah, we don't really go. He's like, he hasn't told him that it does this. So he's only alluded to it. He's only said the alarm's quite loud. Um, which in this case, but Bode, Bid, Bid, Bid, Bid, Bid, Bid, Bid, Yeah, if it just went off as like a loud alarm and cue had not been being a

Lucervator, Yeah, that would have been very funny, but no, Even better at 6am, I'm running for it, just fucking buzzes, I'm getting pissed off. So Bond correctly identifies that this is a bomb. Unstrap it from his wrist while his head is being drilled into, and then as his eyes are about to be drilled out, because I guess Blowfeld's just inspired by Mongo there.

Um, it's Blowfeld's just bored at this point. Yeah, he has Madeline throw the watch at Blowfeld, blowing him up and giving him a cool scar down one. Hhhhh. Facial despair, baby. He already had a slight facial scar. But they were just like, let's dial this boy up. Facial disfigurement.

So then they escape. They do the biggest exposure ever on camera or something? For no reason. Yeah, okay. So let's talk about the biggest explosion. Yes. Hello, it's been off-n-o. Hello.

Fucking, this is, this was at the time the Guinness World Record for the largest explosion in film history, right? They used 200, 223 gallons of fuel. 72 pounds of fucking explosive. And it looks like fucking shit because they had one shot of it. However, they had to film it. And like they had, okay, it's framed right.

Literally our two main character's just talking to each other and in the background is it and then they just turn to watch it at like a 45 degree angle as it blows up. And then they may as well be doing this soy point at it. Like, as it blows up. And then James Bond goes, they may as well be doing this saw-y point asset. Like, it does nothing. It's awful.

There was no reason for any of this shit to blow up, really. They just wanted it to be the biggest one ever. And then James Bond's gone. And then James Bond's gone. And then James Bond says, it's not over yet, which to be honest, in the context of his film,

sounds like a fucking threat because there's still half an hour left. Half an hour. It keeps going. It keeps going. It keeps going. So, so M M is leading the super friends who now like all the slits that I'm like say the B team to a safe house.

Yeah, Bond teleports. Bond teleports. Teleports there. Yes. And I'm going to show him getting onto planes do they they're just and they're like we have one time to make an ad- We have like, We have like three hours to stop the Omni-Sovalant system

from going live. Blow-fold, we still think is dead at this point, so it wouldn't even matter, but we have like, Personally, I think every time we cut back to London, they should play London calling again. Fuck you. Fuck you.

To like a pick, literally every time you cut back. Oh my god. So I, I am used myself and that's all that's important. We can't turn off the thing once it's on. So we have to like kill or arrest scene, like have Q hack into the fucking thing. They all agree to do this. And then as they're about to get on the car to do this,

Madeline's like, I don't want to do this by shit with you. And you shouldn't either. Once like you should, you should stop doing this, James. You should get out of the game. You should become normal. To which no, yeah, James is like, no, but I understand. You should leave, actually, you can leave. But I won't go with you by. She leaves immediately gets kidnapped.

So he said he loved me, but I don't have any to say about that. Yeah, bye. Like again, the titles, I don't need to teach you anything. This one has been kidnapped twice in one movie. So it's about to be a game. It's not your first greennaps. Yes, yes. The kids could not three times in the same fucking build. I swear to fucking God. Okay. So M.

He's a surprise. M is driving Bond to the new evil shield building. When they are ambushed, M escapes by teleporting, which is a skill they teach you in the SAS. But Bond gets black bagged by some goons. And then they take him to a second location. He's still like hooded. He still zip tied. And then as they're like, get him in the building, he shoots both of them takes the hoodeners zip ties off, right?

Yeah, sure. Enteres the location, which is the MI6 building. And the blown up MI6 building is on the wall, is the wall of like dead agents, the one that M had silver's name taken off of. And spray painted on there is James Bond with an arrow. And it's like, then why did you blindfold him? Yeah, you must have been counting on him to get out of this. Just the right.

Do you just send the two guys, James, dislike most to capture him and just assume the offer of all of them is for shooting us. Yeah, it was the author of all the pain and so it goes through. I knew he would shoot them with a gun. Yeah, he goes with a Joker gauntlet. This literally all just to fuck with him. I don't know why any of this. It's not just how it's that balloons face on it, but you can't even have the season. The M-confront C-sees like I hate democracy actually. Yeah, and it stands for moron. No more, no. Yeah, the most it sets for the worst.

I know, writers are just minutes away, guys. They just text me. What? And fucking life. Oh, let me get what's so nice. It should be a good one, because C goes to shoot M, and does the classic, I've already unloaded your gun, and then put the gun back.

So I love to do that, yeah. But then I guess C stands for careless. And I, I might not say, can't. Yes. I thought we were going to get it on screen. What he does is like, yeah, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, C puts the gun on him. He's like, M must stand for Moronic.

And M mine, I'd love to read it if, if please. So C, this is C's fucking final speech, right? This is his, like, the two and a half hour movie building to this and he goes, take a look at the world. Chaos. Because people like you, paper, pushers, and politicians, are too spineless to do what needs to be done.

Isn't the essay, yeah? So I made an alliance to put the power where it should be. And now you wanna throw that away for the sake of democracy Whatever the hell that is how predictably moronic Then is now what em stands for? moron And that goes to shoot em which is the worst line you could possibly get shot after hearing

Squeezed trigger relies the gun is alone at and goes, now we know what C stands for. Carless. And I'm like, neither of you have done anything. I would respect this movie more if they had not included the line, careless and have just left it as an illusion. I think he falls to his death after the fucking death. Yeah, but what's really funny is that like he falls to his death so as to absolve M of having to kill him, right? And then he falls like four stories, lands on concrete. He falls on the surface. And then in my favorite Tana moment, across every Bond movie, M gets to ground level, I see it, where Tana is performing first aid in the form of checking the guys

poles on his neck and he just goes, Ed. Yeah, mate, you don't say. Tanner, I fucking love you, Tanner. Yeah, the ladies and gentlemen. So the super friends assemble, uh, to look at the MI6 building on the other side of the river, which has been condemned.

And so, but like blew it up partially. It's now about to be demolished. It's filled with explosives. Um, and where bond works his way through only to find up partially. It's now about to be demolished. It's filled with explosives. And where Vond works his way through only to find. Low-fowl is alive. And at this point, my- More facially disfigured. My notes, I've written down here, I'm the riddler, can't. I'm the author of all your pain games. I'm writing a new chapter because what? Written a bit more pain for you.

He goes, I've said a shitload of bombs in the building, and you have three minutes. You can either go and find Madeline who I kidnapped and die with her or you can escape and live with the pain. He goes, riddle me this bomb, man. What is a coco clock? What about Lainas a doe? How about her? She's in the building. Or is she?

I love the check. Which James goes. All right. Got a fucking get through it. So bond finds Madeline on this case. Am I six blows up? Yeah. And Emma, Emma, the other guys get very weepy about the MI6 building, which is very, this fucking like modernist ziggurat where we like planned so many fucking extraordinary renditions.

And you're like, Yeah, hard to listen, hard to not be sentimental. That's right by where the trash shoot your live shows are. Absolutely, absolutely. And right across the river actually just goes, voxal comedy. So, um, It's go to Voxal comedy. So, um... It's not even a cop. It's right.

Remember the time with all that piss money anyway? Um Bond gets on a boat and drives the river. Yeah, the boat from tomorrow never dies when he was the same guy, because Blowfeld is escaping by helicopter. He shoots... Bond shoots the helicopter down over handgun. Yeah, with a pistol. It lands on Westminster Bridge.

Blowfeld is trapped in it for a second because the emergency exit doesn't work. It gets stuck in a way it's designed not to do. Also, what's really funny is, as the helicopter is crashing, we get a bunch of shots of blowfold in there looking scared. It's like, you're scared of being in a helicopter crash because he's gay and a pussy. If that was the last time blow purple was anywhere near a helicopter. It dropped in town. That's true.

He was in a wheelchair. He got dropped. So the counterterrorism police would ever seal off the bridge. And M fucking like a bond chases him onto the bridge of the gun. M goes to the police cordon and he's like, hi, I'm Gareth Mallory, some call me M. I'm the head of the double O section of MI6. It's a very secret organization, but you should know exactly who I am.

And let me through. He goes, Mallory, and they go, yeah, all right. Oh, fine. Oh, man, dickhead. I mean, Gareth. They let him onto the bridge and then, and then what they let James onto the bridge. And then what they let James on to the bridge, but what they also let onto the bridge is Madler's one, or so just on the bridge.

Yeah, she just said Mallory as well. And then you get a, you get a, you get babies first. The fucking Mass Effect ending. It's the Mass Effect ending. You can't baby's first scene where it's like, blowfeld is on the floor. He's like in the fucking, oh, I've spilled all of my milkshake,

like looking up at Bob and like, like that fucking Pepe. On stood over and with a gun. One side of the bridge is Gareth Mallory. The other side of the bridge is a woman he met two minutes ago. And he goes, it's time to retire again, baby. Yep, yep, yep.

Time to retire for the fifth time. Time to do it. I've got a move to this side of the bridge, rather than the other, which doesn't make you a choice. Such a fight. Such a massive fact. Fucking ending. You're so right. And then it gets the DB five. This is this is another Marvel thing, right? It's very nearly, I mean, it happens before the end credits was basically a post credits thing of chews back at work and bond stops by to grab the DB5 in ahead of no time to die and that's the fucking movie two and a half hours and we got it down to

126 and this was a horrible experience we have a way of codifying horrible experiences on this podcast we call it this before before we do I will make this quick, but this is my fucking thesis for this Please, please. Let's go baby. Let's go. This film is about the Labour Party because Skyfall is the fucking Jeremy Corbyn era where like yeah, it's not perfect and like it's it's Mard by having to compromise with the legacy of what came before but it's like still trying for the first half and then gets fucking knackered And but then this film it looks very pretty, but this is fucking starma years. It's not anything. I welcome them.

I welcome them. Spectrum. Not about anything. At least the other three movies like had themes that were trying to do. It's not about anything. Like a skyfall that at least started missing themes, but this, I mean like I hate these films that Craig wants now because they made me care about James Bond. At least at the end of quantum, I was like, I hope that Craig...

Yeah, Craig Fingersuck is dead. No, no more Craig Fingersuck. Craig Fingersuck has been murdered by same guy. It's about the same guy. It's just like, isn't this pretty? Do you remember this? Fuck off. And the second great love of James Bond's life and the woman who like gives

some information to like reject the fucking little royal dolphin dog that he got from his mum at the end of the last movie that you know made him want to be in British service forever is just this sort of like petulant child looking woman who just delivers every line like James you have to be did not despise now. James, what if James? Jim's. Jim's should have been vest, but she's been Mitchell even.

Who gives a fuck? She's a Tana. Whatever. Yeah, Tana running away with Tana would have been a better set up for no time to die. Januently. Oh my god. Yeah, Tana who has been following James Bond's career the whole time has been loving him from a distance.

Yeah, no, I anyway, we have a system. I think if it was anyone else, I wouldn't, but I just genuinely really like Rory Kaner. Yeah, he's just good. Great. Who are the scum systems? We do have a system. It's for, uh, fuck, what is it for? Smart, smart, cultural, and sensitivity.

Unprovoked violent, provoked violence and misogyny. So, smart, where's the smart? I mean, we have some. We have some. We have the, like, little banter with money, penny, all the like, so that just happened, lines. Um, to me, S is becoming less S-Marm and more same guy. I mean, you're right.

We started out, no, don't worry, I'm going somewhere with this, I don't want to actually change the system. But we started out quite low S-Marm with Daniel Craig and it's only going up as he becomes more and more subsumed by same guy. You're right. You're right. You're right. And for that, it is the highest I think it's ever been for a Craig movie.

Yes. Also, there's no sincerity, which is what counteracts this one. The last one was a three. I don't even feel about a three or four. I could go to a four. I could quite comfortably go to a four. Now, yellow filter. The yellow filter. What a Mexico and crisis having common. The very yellow. I mean, I struggled to think of much else to be honest.

of much else to be honest. It's like it is slanders the, it's slanders Mexican law enforcement. So like who? Like, let's be honest, there's less of an opportunity these days to do the cultural and sensitivity because in the previous ones it would be like Bond goes to India. At least now we finally find out what N stood for. No. Yeah, it's what stands for. Yeah, two works. Oh, sure.

Unbroped violence. Oh, I want to give it a point. I want to give it a point for attacking the helicopter. Yeah, you can't. I had a new and a new response. It's getting too, but that's seen. Getting into helicopter, punching the pilot one is your opening gambit. Absolutely, absolutely.

I think all the other violence is like pretty provoked. Plus, he actively exercised an opportunity to refuse the use of violence when he like tells the security guard not to fight him, which I think should help. I do like that. That's true. That is true. There's a kind of a foolish moment because when those hitmen come to kill Monica Blucci,

he kills them and I feel like you should have interrogated them. Do we want to give it a two? I would say two. And misogyny, I'm holding such a grudge for the fucking little shot of Madeline's one tied up in a room full of explosives and gagged and shit. Yeah, I hate that shit. And then the three times in the same field. Absolutely, damn little shit. No. This movie has, this movie doesn't respect women out.

No. Like even slightly. I, uh, fucking hell. Some reason we get a Skyfall as sex, and I feel like this is worse than Skyfall, but not worth a seven, but hey, the system is the system. We have to respect the referendum. We do, we do. I mean, I would, I would say this is equal with Skyfall, I don't say sex.

Okay, okay, I'm happy to take that. In that case, that means the score is also equal to the skyfall, which fits its status of skyfall too. Yeah, skyfall too. Yes, skyfall too, skyfall too. It's 14. The advantage of skyfall. Hmm.

Well, we now enter Skyman's Neverfall. We enter into an period of strangeness here here because we now have only one Bond film remaining, which is of course no time to die. And the intent at this point is to do no time to die as a live show and then I guess release some kind of recording of that after the fact, which leaves us with a bit of a gap. So we are sort of in the Swan Song for KJB at the moment. And I would like to permit us, permit us, please, DLS, to save at this moment, Slyly. So let's do something else.

Let's watch a couple of born movies and start taking a little sabbatical to kill Jason Born. That's something I could firmly get on board with. Okay, I see. ...pre-slight over just to feel some time. And then we will... A trusson Bourne. Kill all I can say is.

Kill James Bond will return. Hey guys, sorry, the ending of ours a little confused, we've been recording for a few hours and people are getting tired, but don't worry, Uncle Devon is here to make it all clear. The next mainline Kill James Bond episode, that is, no time to die. We'll be recorded live in London on Friday 8th of April. The venue will be announced and the link for tickets will go up in a little over a week from when this episode is released. So since we're going to be recording no time to die on the 8th of April, it will be released on the main feed on the 19th of April, which gives us about 3 mainline episodes between now and then.

So to fill that time, we're going to discuss in order the first 3 Jason Bourne movies. Release no time to die, and then discuss the final two Jason Bourne movies, and we will call that season one of Kill James Bond, finished. It's been a wonderful journey. But of course, if that is simply too long for you to wait, you can head on over to our Patreon, where bonus episodes on every other week will continue unabated, unabstructed. Next week's bonus episode is The Forerunner. Jackie Chan, Pissed Bros. and Movie about the IRA. Yeah, thank you to our 15 pounds of Earth patrons
