Oh, man, it is getting now into later August, and let me tell you,
the pit stains are starting to not wash out of the t-shirts.
Eric, the onion rings, too.
I think we need some onion rings, too.
All right, all right.
All right. I'm going back from the hot dog stand.
Well, that's the problem is you keep bringing all these deep fried food.
It's so hot out. What are you doing? Get me on a fucking watermelon, please.
Come on. All you guys turned to me and said, Utah get me two.
So now walking over here with what is it? Six hot dogs?
Hell yeah.
Steve, you did say you wanted two. I don't want that to get lost.
It's fair.
Notice I'm not complaining about the delicious treats.
I think this is too, too many.
Well, welcome in.
is we divvy up our hot dog lunch here, you guys.
This is to welcome you to an episode of a live recording.
And why we're doing it this way is because we don't quite know yet
which one from our performance at the Oxford Comedy Festival.
We're going to slot in.
It's going to be the one that sounded the best.
It's the title of this episode.
So you know we best.
Oh, I guess that's true.
Yeah, I didn't think of it that way.
I'm not going to title this mystery episode.
Or maybe I should.
It's just a bunch of question marks.
Episode 8, whatever, question marks.
For all we know, all those episodes sounded great.
And for all we know, they all never happened or whatever.
So trust me, you're listening to something coming up.
What's fun is that we're going to get to be surprised.
Yes, that's true.
You already know, we get to be surprised in this one.
Boy, howdy, do I have a surprise for you, folks.
The tickets are on sale now for our 15th anniversary show on Total Recall.
Oh, yeah.
Howdy, Quaid.
Exactly. Look how great this is. If you like these live episodes, imagine being there. You'll shit.
You will shit. And somebody else will clean it up.
Oh, that's so great. That's why I leave the house. Somebody else has to clean.
There you go. That's a reason to get yourself out the door Saturday, December 6th.
Doors at 7 shows at 7.30 at the bell house in Brooklyn, New York. Beautiful Brooklyn, New York.
You will shit at the bell house this December 6th.
Yes, exactly. Tickets on sale.
Now, as I've said, WHMpodcast.com slash tour for all information.
But that's not all we got going on now, is it, fellas?
No, sir.
Over on the Patreon, we are doing all kinds of shit.
We are starting off with the We Love Movies on That is God damn right, Casino Royale.
Oh, that was a fun one.
Long time coming.
Oh, yeah.
We had not rewatched it in a long time, so it was nice to revisit.
it that is out now along with oh my god once in a lifetime you guys the client list that's right
jennifer love having to turn to a rub and tug operation to help her family because her husband
is just a real loser it turns out yeah bad knees watch out folks bad knees really do it uh you
know it's great knees invaders him uh because he was running all through the early aughts
wasn't he like he was doing well you could not get away from this guy I've never seen the show
None of us have seen the show.
We're going to start with a pilot.
The Nightmare Begins.
It'll be a fun like investigation.
Maybe we'll love it.
Maybe we'll have some problems.
We're going to find out on the animation damnation.
Most of them, I know about this little guy is all the bad tattoos I've seen him on.
Yeah.
But you're going to figure that out with us just this Thursday, as a matter of fact, August the 21st, that animation damnation is dropping.
Incredible.
And then, of course, we've got the Gleap Glossary on Darth Mall.
That's going to be a lot of fun.
I always.
forget it's face paint or it's a face
tattoo? He went to a carnival
and they got his face painted with
some kids. It was a
basketball first, right? And then it
turned into that. Yeah, exactly.
And then he was a big cat.
You, Jaden, you get the
butterfly. I'll get the cool
God smack tattoo face thing.
It'll all work out.
So that's our Star Wars
sideshow where we just talk about the old
EU and stuff. So it's going to be fun
to read about Darth Mall of what they
originally conceived him
he was supposed to die in the first movie
oh great okay
yeah I know that because they cut him in half and he fell
down a fucking shaft thousands of
feet I didn't expect him to
survive no nobody but somehow
Darth Mall returned so tune
into that Gleap Glossor
that's right and that's coming out
next Thursday the 28th and then next
Friday the 29th you guys
it is it is sci-fi week on the show
because we're also doing our
Star Trek recap show The Nexus where this
month. We're going to be talking about a Toastas episode, The Time Trap, in where, that's right,
Klingons and the Enterprise crew stuck in a time warp and they have to work together to get out
of it.
I will wish for a time warp because on TNG we are unfortunately talking about a try episode.
Oh, brutal. Brutal.
Hold on this. I look at the Wikipedia article and all I see is a hyperlink to ritual suicide. Hold on.
I like where this is going.
For after show consideration, I assume.
You know, at this beach is a perfect place.
Oh, it is beautiful.
But yes, anyway, Steve's going to do some weird Wikipediaing here,
and we're going to get to the bottom of that.
But please now enjoy us talking about a live episode
from the Oxford Comedy Festival,
and we'll figure out together in about a month from now.
All right, enjoy.
I don't know.
Pee-chee.
I was just to find out.
What a bitch, I'm a bitch,
What a misleading trailer?
What a missleading trailer?
It's exciting and fun!
I would like to congratulate whoever the shit caught that trailer for creating this
shit cut that trailer for creating this illusion that this movie is exciting in any capacity.
Oxford, what is happening?
Yeah, right.
Marvelous, marvelous.
I'm hoping, I don't know who was in the last show.
I promised to sweat less.
I really do.
Don't say something you can't do that.
I bet people from the last show thought I was joking that I was going to wear pants to this one, and I did.
He did.
You gotta go to the early show to see the skin
Yeah, he was naked in the last one
I was naked
Nice yams up
I learned it from watching James Bond
Oh yeah
Oh totally
That guy loves to get naked
So guys I got some bad news
What's that?
While Steve was talking
I went to open this delicious beer
And the ring came off my pudding cake
Oh no
Oh no
That means you gotta marry it
Yeah
All right
Do you want us to riff while you go downstairs
and get a replacement?
No, I'm not going to start shaking in a little thing.
Okay, we'll see how it goes.
I need to check.
If you see me kind of nodding off, though,
just, you know, take the proper.
The knee and the foot start going a little bit there.
What would Bond do?
We'd finger it really hard.
Oh, wait, hold on.
Oh, he's never good.
We've got a little magic happening in the crowd.
This is beautiful.
Oh, my God, heaven.
Oh, bless you.
It was that gentleman in the back.
God bless you.
The gentleman in the back.
I saw it all happen.
Now I believe in their special relationship
between our countries.
So thank you.
That's it.
this is the new special relationship
motherfuckers trading alcohol
exactly fuck Clinton and Blair
fucking both yeah sure
all right get it out of your system
all right that's never getting out
we're here to talk about James Bond
he probably had to deal with them
yeah probably James Bond
we'd have to do with Clinton and Blair
at some point yeah probably
we gotta take down James Bond
oh hey baby
getting the auto gyro we're gonna take out
Bond baby
he's going after Jeff silent
We gotta stop Bond.
He's gonna bomb little Saint-Germain
or whatever the fuck that island's called, baby.
Oh, man.
Hey, how many of y'all are familiar
with the show we do on the internet?
Ooh, I love it.
I love it.
If you're unfamiliar because someone duped you
into coming here.
Sorry.
No, they're gonna have an awesome time
because this is a comedy show
where you take a movie Good Bad or Otherwise,
this is bad, and knock it around for a little bit.
And that's exactly what we're gonna do.
here. We're going to talk about it. We're going to make some jokes. We're going to
maybe, I don't know, do some impressions. Some of you
may find defensive. We'll see.
Sure. And then we're going to close the evening with
reading some unhinged movie reviews
from the internet. We do have those.
Oh, by the barrelful. We do have business
to take care of because we just found this out.
I might have been saying
Daniel Craig's name wrong all
these years. Is that correct? Am I doing
this wrong? Philistine. It's Krieg.
I'm from the Bronx. We can't read.
None of us can read.
Is it? Craig? Craig?
Umma, Oprah, umma, Craig.
Now, when we do that on the show,
do you all know what we're talking about?
Uma, Oprah, the famous David Letterman, Oscar Gaff.
Yeah, all right.
Well, I'm looking up on the internet,
because I'm not gonna spell it out here.
Raise your hand if you know how to say it correctly.
All right, you, yell it out.
Craig.
Craig.
Craig.
All right, Craig.
Well, it's Craig.
He's been around for a long time.
I've been saying the name wrong for a long time.
So we'll do our best, of course, correct.
but no promises.
You know what?
How about James Bond?
Oh, there we go.
James Bond did this,
and then James Bond appeared in the glass onion,
and then James Bond was in queer.
Yeah, no, it can all work out.
He did all that, yeah, absolutely.
He is the most successful,
or at least most interesting post-bond acting career.
Oh, for sure, yeah.
Yeah, it's got to be.
It was, I mean, the guy's so good that it was immediate.
Like, you, Pierce Brosnan had to go into exile
for like a decade before they allowed him to be good again.
Oh, that dude was living in a fucking cave system somewhere.
They still made him do Black Adam.
They still made him do it.
Well, make him do it.
Dude, this is how.
You will never finish paying the price for die another day.
I'm sorry.
It's not going to happen.
No.
Most of it's not his fault, though.
It's that fucking Madonna song.
It's, that is pretty hard.
And the cameo.
She tried to ruin this country.
She did it.
She did her best.
She did her best to take you guys down
and I'm glad she failed.
Man, oh man.
Guy Ritchie also had to take a decade
before he got good again.
He was like, okay, all right,
now I can be good again.
But so we hire a fella like Mark Forster
to do this movie.
Now, Mark Forrester, here's the resume
that someone looked at
and then was like,
this guy should take over helming
our big action franchise.
No, I don't like it.
Mark Forster, before directing this movie,
such films as Monsters Ball.
Oh, wow.
Finding Neverland.
I would like to see James Bond in these adventures.
Yeah, yeah.
Did he write? Did he, you know,
did he dream about magical creatures and stuff like that?
He could be in Finding Neverland, I guess.
That's true.
Stranger than fiction.
What happened?
What?
In Monsters Ball, Hallie Barry famously beats the shit out of a child for candy bars.
Yeah.
Much like James Bond's tragic upbringing, I imagine.
Oh.
Holy shit.
Vote to self.
Rewatch Monsters Ball.
That sounds awesome.
Eric.
You know what else is in that movie, Eric, that you love?
Slappin'ass.
That I remember.
Billy Bob Thornton, one of your favorites also.
Oh, dude.
Okay, though the shit list continues.
Oh, please.
Stranger than fiction, that fucking terrible
Will Ferrell movie?
And then the kite runner
Yeah.
Yeah, real action-packed.
And then he gets this movie.
So I don't know what the shit was going on.
You got nominated for an Oscar again,
so we'll give it to you.
That's what happened, right?
Because also, a better director that y'all produced was the late Roger Michelle, who was supposed to do this movie.
But again, Notting Hill, Enduring Love, which was with Daniel Craig, so, you know, I guess.
Venus with Peter O'Toole, what do you remember there, she?
Oh, no, I was just imagining.
If he directed this movie, it would be, I'm just a girl covered in oil just sitting on your bed.
Drowning from the inside out, et cetera.
How about Hugh Grant is James Bond?
That'd be something right.
Oh, my God, that would bring the whole thing to its knees.
The whole fucking Enterprise would shuddered.
He slept with some interesting women on Hollywood Boulevard.
Who did?
Morning Glory, the Harrison Ford Newscaster show.
I thought that was something completely different.
I thought there was a hole in one there.
Oasis documentary either.
Hyde Park on the Hudson, where Bill Murray gets jerked off by his cousin.
Yep.
He's also playing FDR, by the way.
Yeah, of course.
So FDR is getting jerked off, I guess.
Wow.
Oh, and The Weekend, which was his last really good movie.
But again, not a dude you expect to be directing action sequences, explosions, and whatnot, you know?
So instantly, this movie's fucked.
It's so fucked just from the director alone.
It tricks you because it starts off with a pretty good action sequence, one that starts in the middle, where you almost want an interior monologue of James Bond.
Like, you're wondering how I got it?
in this situation.
Previously on James Bond.
What you have to remember
as you watch this car chase
because it's pretty brutal
and it's all downhill from here folks.
This is really the masterpiece
if there is one.
There is a 79-year-old man
in the trunk.
That's a good point.
Being bumped around.
Shot at.
I do appreciate that this movie starts
with a wreck because it is a wreck.
That's true.
but also this movie
and this is the whole thing with these
you know these Daniel C. movies
that he made. There you go.
That's how I got around that and it sounds
worse. Sure. It does.
It sounds like you're insulting him real bad.
It's a real Daniel C if you know what I mean.
Jesus Christ.
Here comes Daniel C.
And I don't know how
Bond fans out there feel about this
but I think that the decision to make
these five movies connect in one long
arc and reveal his back story some of the biggest bullshit motion pictures ever came up with.
Pretty bad.
And it forces you to really, like, give a shit about re-watching the last one before you get
to this one.
And it's so, Casino Royale is so ingrained into the DNA of this movie.
You hit it on the head.
It's like a B-side of a way better bond movie.
Yeah, it is.
Like, a record sells a certain amount.
You get a deluxe edition.
And this thing is covered in just, like, live tracks, B-sides, demo.
Scratch Tracks.
That's it.
That's all this is.
It's all the version, everything that comes after you are like, oh, here's a successful film, Casino Royale.
It rocks.
How about we make the shitty one?
Even in the-
All the shitty parts that we left out, why don't we just close all them up?
And one of the ways it feels like scraps, too, is it's an hour and 45 minutes, which is a real deal with the devil.
Because on the one hand, nice.
Yes.
Under two hours, beautiful.
This really needs to be highlighted.
This movie's under two.
two hours and it's a James Bond film.
That gives it so much credit.
That is like a full star up.
That is unbelievable that you got that to happen.
But you have to sacrifice shit like,
you know, competently edited action sequence.
Sure.
Characters completing sentences.
Yeah.
It's true.
A story I give a shit about it.
Yeah. It's awesome.
Almaric doesn't even get like a parlor scene in the movie.
It's just way too connected to the other one too.
It's like, oh, Mr. Who?
Just do the previously on.
I know you think you're better than it.
Catch me up with the last adventure.
You could have, because this great car chase happens, and we end up, and I think we're in Italy at this beginning.
Well, hold on, in the car chase, he's on the highway, and then he, like, takes a left and he's in a quarry?
I found that.
I don't know.
Something about that just drove me nuts.
I don't know.
I've never been to Italy.
I don't know.
Maybe that's how they do things over there.
It is like that.
Roadside quarries instead of 7-Elevens?
Steve, I hate to break it to you, but it is kind of like that.
Okay, right.
James just need to get his rocks off.
Oh.
On the side of the road, okay.
But you know what?
Morecoming.
Oh, More Coming is there.
See, I can do it too.
Morecoming is one of the characters, right?
Yeah, Holly Moorecoming.
But that's the other thing.
I mean, the whole arc of these modern movies
thinks they're too cool to be a Bond movie.
And that's a big problem.
Because if you're making something
that you think is traditionally stupid or cheesy,
you're not going to have the love for it.
in the same way. And, like, they did produce a couple of
good ones with this guy, but, like, the overall
seriousness and everything, like, you have
the thing, like, Fields in this movie,
right? Gemma Ardodden's character.
Strawberry Fields? Which they never fucking say
in the movie, man. That's a credit only thing.
I mean, you're supposed to walk in and see your dead body
and say, Strawberry Fields for
never? Oh, see,
if Bond walked
into the hotel room and said that,
that'd be... Honestly, that's an extra
half star, because that is a...
It is such a cold-ass thing
to make a joke like that right?
Em would be like, oh, please.
My God.
That's absurd.
Em just starts throwing out.
What?
I already visited her octopusy's garden.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, God.
That's true.
Oh, shit.
It's true.
But that trunk opens, and it's just like,
hey, everybody remember Mr. White?
No?
The guy standing in the background laughing
in the last movie
when Bond's getting his balls whipped
in the backless chair?
You don't remember that guy?
Remember the guy in the background from all those years ago?
And also, like, we don't even resolve the Mr. White issue in this movie, or even in this scene.
And he doesn't come back until Spector.
So he just goes to like, Jesus Christ.
What a waste of time.
It's all so bad.
And also, just the weirdness of, like, we can't legally say Spector's or we're just spitting a bunch of bullshit for three movies.
It's quantum.
That's, don't work.
That'll do for now.
It's quantum.
That's the group.
They should have done the kill bill thing
When you just bleep it every time
I would like that
I would like that
Yeah just a big like black rectangle
Goes over their face
Like the whole thing

But yeah, they're about to torture him in an Italian wine cellar or something.
I don't know.
That's exciting.
Well, I mean, James Bond, of course, gets directly off the road, gets straight to the booze.
It's a B-line, right to it.
Wouldn't you?
Well, there's a turncoat in the corner.
Oh, well, sure.
My, my, my, my, Mitchell.
It has to turn.
Well, it's so great because Mitchell is about to turn.
He's a brand new character.
Mitchell.
And to let you know.
I iconic character in the James Bond front of shot.
Dude, I had the Mitchell trading card.
this movie came out.
Fucking loved Mitchell. I was more of a Slate
guy. Oh, Slate also classic
Bond villain. But he
everyone's like, oh hey Mitchell, hi Mitchell. Hey Mitchell.
He was popular and he still turned on them.
They did. It's, that's how
you know that he's about to get up to some shady
shit because otherwise it would just be like
you boy, go do the security rounds.
You know, Judy Denton is just yelling at this guy.
But the fact that at least, like, no fewer
than three people say this dude's name. I'm like,
he's crooked.
I didn't think it's coming like right now, but I mean, it is a real fast turnaround on Mitchell.
If Murdoch had gotten a hold of this, MI6 would have to be closed down.
He was your bodyguard for five fucking years.
Real embarrassing.
Get out of the job now.
We're not waiting for Ray Fines.
You get out now.
M is a bit blundering in this one.
It's kind of great.
They're like torturing Mr. White.
And they're like, who do you work for?
What's going on?
And he's like laughing because he's like, oh, we were always afraid that you were on.
to us. You had no idea. And then she's
like, well, we're fast
learners.
Well, uh, uh,
uh, uh, why don't you
tell me what you don't think I know?
Great comeback, right?
Now, if they sacked her, right? If she was fired,
yeah. Yeah. Would it just be known as I-6?
I don't know what any... Oh, so you think, you think
the M in M-I-6 is the M
the M... I don't know.
M featuring I-6. Is that how that's...
Is that an M-per-sand in between there?
Oh, sorry, sorry, I don't know. What is it?
Is it Mission Impossible Six?
Yeah, it's an Mission Impossible thing.
Yep, totally.
Okay.
You didn't know that?
Come on now.
Does anyone know?
What does it actually stand for?
Do you know?
Military intelligence, I believe.
Six?
I didn't fucking come up with the agency, me.
I don't know.
Maybe the sixth iteration?
I don't know, Eric.
I really don't.
Spector or Quantum got to the other one, and now we're up to six?
Yes.
And then wouldn't he, double seven being, am I seven?
No, no, no.
There's a bunch of double O's, dude.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that is something to take off a hankership for.
Famously, Sean Bean is a double-O.
That's right.
It makes sense for him to be in MI6 because he's 00-6.
She's so bad at her job.
Em gets shot in the chest right here by her own bodyguard.
It's better than the rest of the dudes in the room.
He drops like six fuckers right here.
It's great.
And I'm sure it had nothing to do with the booze.
No, no, no.
The two belts of scotch as soon as you get off the road certainly helps you.
That's what I did when I got here.
It helps.
And we're chasing through the Italian piazza.
It's a beautiful chase here, foot chase.
This movie has seen the Jason Bourne movies a few times.
Oh, has it now?
Just a few times.
You don't say.
Yeah.
Yeah, the writer saw it, the fucking editor saw it, the cinematographer.
I mean, my God, we were trying to chase this franchise.
When you didn't have to.
No.
You have one of the best franchises of all time.
You kicked off the next generation of it with an awesome movie.
What are you doing?
this for. Yeah, this cavern
we're running through. He runs out then
into this horse race. A bystander
to get shot, I thought we were at a Trump rally
watching.
There is a
really great moment here where, like, Bond is running
up a staircase or something, and there's, like, this little
old Italian nona, like, carrying a basket
of tomatoes. He pushes that old bitch
out of the way.
That will get you the death penalty
in Italy, is making an old Italian
woman drop her tomatoes.
You're not allowed to do it.
What they did to that poor Amanda Knox.
She was too...
She was too pretty to face justice.
Did she drop the cherries, too?
I actually don't remember the details.
Certainly not.
You certainly don't.
But we have a Jason Bourne fight on the roof.
That's kind of something.
It's not too bad.
It's like exactly from Bourne supremacy.
It's insane.
And these Spanish tiles is fine.
When will people learn?
You can't put that on a roof.
Well, I think it's a really great anti-chase scene device that you can put on your roof
because everyone's always sliding off them.
Well, people stop running on my roof.
I'm going to put those tiles up.
That's it.
I warned you.
Spanish tile time.
And they slip and fall.
And they start to have it.
Oh, my God.
It's a scaffolding match.
My God.
That Piazza ain't going to look right tonight.
My God, that Nona is dead.
James Bond pushed that Nona right down the stairs.
Elbow drop off the top of the restoration rig.
By God, they turned into CGI animation right when they fell through that winder.
By God, the editing's so shitty, I don't even know what's going on anymore.
Who's the good guy?
I might as well close my gosh darn eyes.
I can't see shit in this movie.
Is he the Mitchell?
Is he the Mitchell?
Mitchell I-6.
You know what?
That's what it actually is.
He's going to be promoted to Mitchell Isles.
Yeah, everyone should be named.
I want it named after my turncoat.
Every single person should have an M name like a creepy family, you know?
These creeps that name all their kids the same.
Like George Forbin.
So how about this?
That almost happened in my family.
Oh, my father's Andrew.
My mother's Amy.
I'm Andrew.
And then when my brother was born, my mom was like, oh, maybe we should do an A.
And my father put a stop to that shit.
He knew it was weird.
It's the right time to stop it
right then.
I just cut it right off.
Yeah.
But this fight scene actually ends
and you have to wonder
like different versions of the script
like what was going on
because this ends with a really awesome
Bond is hanging like by his leg
on this rope and he's swinging around
trying to like he's put his fingers
with his broken glass to get this gun
and he gets it at the last second
and he looks up and the shot is
looking down on Bond and he shoots Mitchell.
That is how you end.
a bond cold open and then your credit
start and Jack White can sing his heart out with
Alicia Keys and it's fine
but it's just insane that that's left in as like a
great bond like closing of a cold
open but it's not
and you get these beautiful blue eyes right there
piercing right at you I need
if you're not going to go straight to the song
what I need is at least the guys
who are doing this restoration job
coming back from lunch being what the
fuck! What the fuck
happened? Oh I believe you
mean mamami
Also
Or so I've heard
Sure
I like the song
It's like it's your later period
Jack White's a totally
Inessential but fun
I like this whole opening animation
Because it's like
I must say dune sea
But I guess it's a desert right
Yeah you call out a desert
Oh the desert of Iraqis
There is some dune stuff in the movie
But then you get to see all these giant women
There in this sequence
Which is amazing
Oh my God
It's the favorite
part of the movie for me
and presumably dozens of
others.
Can I have that when
you're done with it?
Roll over me, giant sand
woman.
Now, honey, actually, now I'm going
to have to stay late at the foot fetish factory
once again.
We're going through the opening songs
for the James Bond things and you're
not, you wouldn't believe
how many fucking feet are in these things.
There's naked women
everywhere and the feet are
everywhere. Yeah, the
giant sand feet in this one, yep.
No, yeah, no. Put the dinner
in the oven, I'm going to be home late.
Angela's not getting bath time with daddy.
That's not happening tonight. There is a scene
where Judy Dench almost goes in the bath. Thank God
you don't see her feet. Thank God.
I'd be here all week. I'd never leave.
They've been trying to get her feet for years.
They have. They've eluded
them for decades.
Chronicles of Riddick, they were like, what's going on?
I don't want to be looking at post-apocalypse alien feet, though.
Dude, you know those people aren't bathing.
Big-time webbed as well.
Mutations, definitely.
But again, though, oh, my God, her webbed, mutated feet.
Is, in Shakespeare in love, does she show her feet, I forget?
I don't think so.
I don't know, boss. I guess I'll look it up.
Jesus Christ.
You know, the most fucking shit.
That's what got her the Oscar.
Oh, okay.
It wasn't the performance so much as the Tootsies.
Yeah, exactly.
No.
But this bathtub pissed me off.
I'll tell you what.
Oh, my goodness gracious.
What, M's Bathurst's?
Yes, it's too nice. You're a government employee. What are you doing?
You're living on the government dole.
You know what? Leave her alone. She's about to get laid by possibly her husband.
I don't know who this.
Oh, yeah. The captioning says, man is in there.
I love that the phone ringing at M's apartment, you just hear some dude voice go,
I believe that's your line.
Because he knows he's Mr. M, man, and nobody gives a shit about Mr. M.
But M is the shit.
Vote for you, babe.
Spy. No, it's another one.
of a spy. That would be great if you saw
Mr. M. and it's just a big fat guy
with long, mullity hair and a mustache
and he's walking out in a towel like that guy on
Sunker. It's a fucking Mike Lee character.
She just likes it that way.
He's playing PlayStation 2
all day. I think that's the phone,
M. Love you, babe.
We are out of beer.
Hey, are you going to the office for like spy
shit? Yeah.
When you come back, though, it's just a beer.
It'd be great. When you're done with all you
spy shit.
shit. If the shop's still open or six
or some shit. You're going out anyway.
Yeah, that James Bond's a total dick.
You were totally right in that situation.
Oh, is that Jim?
Yo, Jim! What's up, bro?
Gerald says
hello.
You know, he's still in between jobs.
You know, Jim, we got to get you on the chat.
We got to get you on the Xbox
and the chat, brother.
I love this guy
I do
I have a rule
about James Bond movies
I'm not the world's
biggest James Bond guy
I do think
every time you need to sing
the title
every single time
this is
explain yourself
because like
Goldfinger great song
amazing title song
even GoldenE
Golden Eye has got
your number
or whatever that is
how do you explain a way
the catastrophe
that is die another day
You have to die
Another day
You have to modify my fucking voice
It's better than the way
What the fuck Mark Rodson was up to
That's for sure
I'm not even sure, man
Have you heard that song?
Which tune are you talking about?
The one was, does they do
Spector?
I don't know anything.
Oh, that's a Sam Smith.
That song sucked.
Yeah, okay, that's horrible.
No, that's not fair.
Yeah, so that's that.
That was that bit, it just died right there.
We are introduced to Rory Keneer in this movie as Tanner.
Rory Keneer and his hair, which is exciting.
Oh, dude, you can see that shit fighting for its life back in 2008.
I'm not one to talk, but I'm also not in the pictures.
I didn't check the years.
Is this what got him the pig fucking episode of Black Mirror?
This was before that, so possibly.
You know what?
They saw talent.
I'd like to stop whatever got him meant.
That's what I would like to do.
Whatever it got that movie made.
You know what got him a bad idea?
Yeah.
It might have been the pig fucking.
Yeah, it could have been.
He's spectacular as a crooked PM on the diplomat there.
He's kind of bringing himself back.
But he's a dude who in this movie, I was like, he's crooked, right?
Steve, you had watched the rest of them more recently.
They're like, no, he's right up until Bond's funeral at the end.
And I was like, what the fuck?
How is this guy not crooked?
I'm telling you why that is happening is because you want him to be interesting and he is not.
That is the simple truth
He's not an interesting character
He's M's phone boy
It's kind of great
M is just like the old lady
That doesn't know how to use the phone
And it's like get me Bond
And he's standing like six inches away from her
Like oh well if you hand me your phone mom
I will call Bond for you
He also like limply always tries to like
Disagree with her for five seconds
Like are you sure
Don't you think Bond's may be corrupt
Of course he's not
Okay
She dresses his ass down though
later in the movie when he calls about Dominic Green or whatever
and then he's like well I don't know
that guy's kind of a nobody and she's like
the woman transferred me to their South American bureau chief
that's important you don't
you don't
he's adult he's adult that's why you want him to be corrupt
because you don't want him to be just adult
but it's weird though because every line delivery
he has in this movie sounds like at any second he's going to be crooked
it's a lot of like yes I will dial the phone for you
there's a lot of weird like smirking
happening? I think we're just not used to their
accents and stuff, no offense, but, you know, going out to
the restaurant yesterday, I thought everyone was like after me
as well. Really? Like, that's
a crippling later. That doesn't matter what
fucking country is. A paranoid man.
You're always being persecuted in your mind.
I am. I am. Well, actually,
mom, yes, you've got a message from Gerald.
It seems that you need to pick
up mozzarella sticks on the way home.
He can't
be bothered, he said. And
he specified it's the super long
ones and not the tiny ones.
likes them big. You know the ones, babe. It's in the
pick package. So they
determine that
so you got to remember, right, that in the last
movie there was a guy named Lushif and he was a money
launderer for terrorists. If you don't remember that, this next scene
doesn't make any sense. But they're like, oh, we track some of
Lushief's money that we had coded or whatever and a big
stack of it just got spent in Port-au-Prince Haiti. Let's go.
And the movie takes off to the next
Oh, a demo version of idiotic.
Okay, great.
Fantastic.
We always have to remember
that he's still very sad about Vesperlind.
Eva Longoria, not even,
Eva Green.
Eva Green.
And just like every five fucking minutes
we have to be reminded of that.
Just this cry baby shit.
And like, I'm sorry.
I love these movies
because he's a two-sided nothing
that shoots and fucks and drinks.
And that's it.
I don't need this.
How you're feeling?
Are you processing the grief?
But they are making amends,
because they went overboard with fucking Brosnan.
They went...
Nungam Dung Deng Nang their name.
That exactly.
But this is crazy, too, because, like, Em is like...
Does he bang her in that movie?
I'm sorry, does he have sex with Madonna in that film?
No.
Oh, they do some fencing, though.
She just dresses him down a little bit.
No, no, Kim Jong-il does, I think.
Yes.
But, uh...
There's a North Korean guy in that movie.
He turns white.
M is like boyfriend tracking,
Eva Green, Vesper's
dead boyfriend supposedly dead
they find a head that was eaten by
fishies but she got a lock
of his hair from her house so it's
not him and the twist
of that turns out it's like you know because
in the first movie it's like oh wow you know
of course she had a boyfriend you fucking idiot
you're just a piece of ass showing up
and then
and then the end of this movie it's just like
well that was a bad boyfriend that was not the real
boyfriend I was the real boyfriend well you have to
remember yeah you have to like care about a character
who's not in this movie's ex-boyfriend.
Yes.
So what does that make us?
Nothing.
That is exactly, like, it's meaningless.
You're in a different movie right now.
I don't give a shit about Vesper anymore.
James Bond tracks this dude to his cool Haiti hotel,
and they have an absolute Jason-born fight.
Close quarters, hand-to-hand shit that you have never seen James Bond.
I thought someone was trying to kill somebody in the magazine in that shot.
It's not this guy.
Slate.
Iconic character, Slate.
Oh, Slate.
How could we forget Slate?
The guy who just kind of looks like James Bond.
I do like, but this is cold James Bond shit
when he just puts, I think it's like a piece of glass even,
right in his femoral artery and like holds his lecum as just like,
any second now.
You're dead? You're dead now?
You bled out?
Yeah, come on.
That is some fucked up Freddie Kruger's shit, man.
There's nothing classy about that kill at all.
If you're doing something like that, you better drink that blood.
What are you doing?
He might have because it disappears.
That's true.
It's like, he sucked it up.
He was wearing white pants this entire time, which I would never wear.
Huge mistake.
Dangerous, dangerous for many reasons, but especially when your job is killing people.
Yeah.
And you're in dirty places a lot, man.
It's all over you.
Dirty places, killing people, a sloppy sandwich.
Like, nothing about this as white pants now.
Well, Mr. Bond, you have blood all over your pants.
You clearly killed my henchman, and you should wipe better.
Two important things.
His codename is skid marks.
Because James Bond is his real name, as you know.
Well, so many classic Bond villains, like Jaws, odd jobs, skidmark.
I mean, yeah, it's all right there.
You need a skid mark.
I mean, you need a skid mark in this movie so bad.
You need a tough, a David Bautista-sized tough.
It doesn't have to be Bautista.
It doesn't have to be that size.
But a big boy.
A big boy.
A big boy.
I need a big-payee motherfucker.
Absolutely.
him because it's nothing. It's this
weirdo with the weird hair
piece. He's another dude that is unnamed
except for the credits. Apparently that
wig wearing motherfuckers named Elvis.
Okay. Sure.
Why not? Then he needs to have
big dumb gold frame sunglasses
of fucking punch.
Can I get a robot hand? Is that so
fucking difficult? It is
now. He should have been killed on the toilet
in this movie.
Well, I was going to go into his room and strangling
but he'd been dead of a heart attack for hours on the can.
Job done.
He is just like a fucking Jason Vorty's in this.
It's like Jason Boren and Jason Vorty's mashed into this James Bond character.
And you have him going up, I'm sorry, I love the man,
but Matthew Amarik always looks like a weasel.
It is every, he's great in everything.
Wiley-looking guy, though.
He's always a weasel.
And he's a weasel in this movie, and it's not threatening at all.
It's just like, ah, yes, we have indeed gotten your goose, haven't we, Mr. Bond,
at anything?
He even asked to say, but I want to point a gun at him.
He asked Mark Forster to have, like, to have, like, can I shave my head?
Can I do, like, can I do something to make this character look like something?
No, we want you to look normal, like, cool.
No, says I, the director of Finding Neverland.
But I at least have, like, a really cool on-screen kill, right?
James Bond gets me?
No, says I, the director of Monsters Ball.
Off-screen kills!
What if I wasn't great at wiping my ass,
and every time you knew that it was me
because of the brown stained on my pants?
Great idea, love, do it.
There is a part where, like, a chase...
We'll get to it when we get to it,
but there's another thing about these pants
that we'll bring back up when it happens.
But so, yeah, he realizes, okay,
this dude was going to meet someone.
There's going to be a drop-off here.
Here comes Olga Carolank,
we do a little get in
only so that when she does a get in later
it's half funny
I'm just realizing we're doing a creig again
right you guys don't say pants it's trousers
right well they understand what I'm saying
there's no big mystery about the word
pants I don't I haven't
heard it while I was here that's all
who are you talking to about pants
in what situation would you go shopping
when the fuck would you hear someone say that
I'm talking to skid marks at the airport I see
okay
fair enough
Oh yeah, so Olga pulls up here and it's a weird
Oh, she thinks that he's the other guy.
What's his name? Sharp.
Slate?
Slate.
There it is.
A rock.
Memoral as fuck.
Yeah, so she thinks he's Slate.
She thinks that he's going to kill him.
She tries to kill him first.
It doesn't work out.
He gets out of the car.
He literally just gets out of the car.
She speeds away and he's like, well, that was kind of funny.
What's her problem?
He flips this guy.
This guy's got back problems for the rest of his.
life. Oh, the guy on the motorbike? That's a
Terminator movie. He's gone. Don't worry to be back
on wheels soon, a wheelchair.
Nailed it. Thank you.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
And Bond, you know, goes chasing after her
or whatever, and they go to
where this is, like, Dominic Green,
Matthew Almorique's character, has a little
hideout on the docks is going on.
So he sort of spies from afar.
You know what the kind of, the walk, the way that this
pier goes into this building, you know what it looked like
reminded me of, and the folks might not know this,
the house that they stayed in in
real world Seattle. Yes. And it was
on that dock. It looks almost
exactly like that, but a little more run down and
filled with more billion. Coming in from a different angle,
but yes, it is. What are you talking about your high school
graduation? More people
are familiar with that. So two people
who know what this is are on stage. Hey, wait, hang
on. One of the first seasons was a London
season. That's fair. They know
what it is again. They know what it is.
We're not talking to people who lived
a hundred years before us.
They know what pants are!
And again...
I'm afraid they don't laugh.
All right, pants versus the house
in real world Seattle.
Uh-huh.
Quite different, referentially.
I'm going to say again here, Steve,
this is covering up because the fact
because Matthew Amarik
is in there practicing his stamping.
What is the...
I don't know what is...
I don't get what this is.
I thought for a rubber stamp
and he's like a master forger or something.
But he's just kind of learning
how to use like an office tool?
He's going to be a...
public notary at the bank.
Oh, okay.
That's not bad.
I'm going for my notary license.
I have to practice my stamping.
Supervillity doesn't always work out.
You need a backup.
True, very smart.
As a super villain, having a notary, being a notary is probably very nice little plus.
Yeah, you can forge all sorts of documents.
You're good.
Totally.
We find out that he is like a very jealous boyfriend of Olga Cariolinko.
That's kind of his gimmick here and like he shows her the dude that she was talking to.
Oh, the geologist.
yeah I don't like when people talk behind my back
he's submerged underwater
I guess he's dead I mean he doesn't
Am I supposed to know this guy
Yeah like what the fuck apparently like
She was trying to get information out of him
And it was like oh no I was just testing him
And listen here's the thing
It's a terrible script with massive
You know cave size plot holes in it that you can
Just fucking dive into and spend hours in being like
What is this movie? Where am I going?
We saw a head that was eaten by fishies
Why don't I see some fishies
nipping at this guy?
I would like to see him like that.
He's more freshly drowned, Eric.
I think that guy had been left in there for a while.
I want a, wouldn't you, as a fishy,
wouldn't you want a, as a fishy?
Continue, come on.
Give it to me.
A fresh meat, you know?
I don't know.
Sure.
Well, I can see that.
The best part about the fishy part
when they're analyzing that on the screen
is its M is talking about it
and you see the picture of what went on
with this dude's head and she's like,
and where to believe a fish?
did that. I was like, this lady
has seen some shit.
The general shows up here
basically the Crooked General
killed all the girl's family
and he wants to kill her and there's
they're going to do a water, a land deal
in Bolivia. This is exciting stuff, isn't it?
And so like basically she gets given
to the general as like kind of
like, do whatever you want to her, I'm done.
Be sure to just throw her over the side when you are done with her.
for I am also done with her.
They are very careful
to make sure you hear
that he,
because her father got killed
by the general
and he was also a madman
in Bolivia apparently.
But they are very careful
to be like, he had a Russian wife,
so it's okay that we cast
Olga Coralenko as a Bolivian.
Yep.
Bases covered, dude,
moving on.
Tap, tap, tap.
This is like the boat chase scene,
and this movie was
written by Paul Haggis at least a little bit
which I think he drew upon his
experience as leaving Scientology for this boat
chase. Sure, of course. That's how they tried to get him.
This is great because this
is Bond like ruining the livelihood of all these poor working
Haitians because he's driving a motorcycle
over their fishing boats.
Oh my God. Well, these people are ruined
for Queen and Country. Come on.
It's just awful. So we got a decent
boat chase here and the thing is
the three best scenes in this movie
are chases. It's
the car chase at the beginning, this boat
chase, and then a plane chase.
So it's almost a planes, trains,
an automobile joke, but not really.
But it's just three chases. That's...
Oh, look, me.
James Bond's just trying to get home for the Thanksgiving.
Oh, totally, dude. That's not a thing here.
If anyone loves Turkey Day
Moore, I'd love to see it. But James Bond,
that guy famously...
That's not a... That's not a thing here.
Well, that'd be actually great if, you know,
how like John Candy is just a big liar in
that movie, you know, like, if that's what James
Bond is, he's like, oh, I slept with all this woman. No, he
didn't. His wife has been dead for years.
Wow, what a pathetic loser.
The man's a widower.
Oh, so who did you sleep with?
Her name was
pussy pussy
pussy galore. She was called pussy galore.
She was sexy, and she was real.
Looking around, seeing a Beatles,
Strawberry Feels, had sex with her
as well.
And I just, I had a date with Rax McPherson.
And Zena on a top.
Yeah.
She's a real girlfriend that I had that was sexy, and I broke up with her.
And I'm going to tell you, that was an X in the beginning of that name.
You think it's a Z.
It's an X.
So we dial back into MI6, and they're like, oh, hey, we noticed that Green is going somewhere.
Bond gives the tracking number of the plane.
and it's like, oh, he's meeting with some CIA operatives at the moment or whatever,
and this is where we get Mr. Beam, played by a not yet famous David Harbor,
and Felix Lider, of course, played by the awesome Jeffrey Wright,
who is, in my opinion, the best part of all of these movies of the recent slate.
So, yeah, you better fucking kill that guy in the last one, too.
Piece of shit, no time to die.
Well, you see him with a magnifying in this glass looking for his dialogue.
He's like, can I speak?
Am I allowed to do something?
unfortunate because you have a dude who is
awesome as Jeffrey Wright and so much
of this movie is him just going
mm-hmm
James, I think
he's discussing
fucking botchalism
with David Harbor
the fuck do I care
kill someone
Harbor's also kind of
it's weird because Harbor is doing like a very
comedic thing and this movie is devoid of any
in all comedy whatsoever so he sticks out
like a sore thumb.
It's really bad.
Although the mustache,
pretty primo stuff.
That's a nice,
thick one,
especially for 2008.
Yeah, totally.
He was very brave at the time.
It's beautiful.
Beautiful.
Pioneer in mustache relations.
You have that mustache now,
dude,
you're cleaning up on every street and avenue
in the borough of Brooklyn.
Absolutely.
Still to this day.
Oh, my God.
Look at that thing.
But they sort of,
so their whole thing is,
you know,
because it's America and they're like,
oh, wow,
Oil, oil, oil, yeah.
You found oil?
We want to be your friend.
Cool, let's do that.
And Almaric's like, I never said so was oil.
I actually wish it was that cartoonish.
No, I don't know.
Like what I just did.
There's no laugh.
There's no cackle.
No.
Yes, I thought that you would like whatever is that.
See, that's the thing is, this movie's all mustache, no twirl.
Thank you.
Ooh, dude, that's great.
Thank you.
Shit.
Roger Ebert says this.
movies. All mustache, no
twirl. You can put that on a...
Well, you wouldn't put it on a poster.
Let's only put bad quotes
on our movie. What you
want the poster to do, you understand, is to keep
people away from your film.
This was my first week at the poster
factory. I'm sorry, I did the exact
opposite of what we're supposed to be doing here.
Yeah, so then they determined,
oh, actually, this flight is registered
to a flight to Austria. So off we go
to an opera house. We're a
scene goes down that the Mission Impossible
franchise wound up doing better a few years later
in Rogue Nation, but
this I think is actually still pretty cool.
The whole production
design of the actual opera production
looks amazing. They did spend a lot
of money here, but I do love the start of this
is Bond monitoring the
check-in booth and the swag bag
situation. Right, and also, you know, sizing up
people that are going in to get
changed into tuxedo so you can steal
one. Stealing people's clothes, man,
that's low. Yes. It's pretty low.
And it's, oh, you, you wanted my swag bag, did you, Mr. Bond?
Was it, were you looking for this branded water bottle?
Yes.
Oh, look at this.
It's a carabino that says quantum on it.
Pretty cool, Mr. Bond.
And these are some cookies for the hotel later.
Yes.
And, Mr. Bond, there are precisely two free drink tickets.
Do not ask for more.
A USB drive that you can fill with half a gig.
and get a load of this
a key chain to let people know
you've been to the opera.
It has a bottle opener on it.
That's going to come in handy, Mr. Bonn't.
You won't be writing your own will
without this branded pen.
It kind of doesn't work.
In this bag of chocolates from Marguerite's.
There is a water bottle
that has the logo of quantum on it,
but we really just ripped off a Poland spring label
and pasted it off.
swag bags
yeah so
they're nice
but it's kind of a cool idea
is like in the swag bag
is a earpiece
because it makes sense
until you think about it
it's like okay
oh don't do that
with this movie I know
because it's like
we want to do this
really evil deal about
like it's just land water
or oil
one of those three things
and these
all these evil people
are talking but they're doing
it in public you see
at the opera
where no one will know
except everyone around
I wouldn't be like, shut the fuck up.
Could you repeat, repeat, repeat. The fat lady was singing.
I did not get that.
From Siberia. The Holden's from Siberia.
Could you keep it down?
No, kill that guy. I want him dead.
Shut up. I'll be done in a minute.
I'm on the phone. I'm in ear.
This is so much smarter than meeting in a fucking warehouse.
Yes.
What?
What?
Two thousand kilometers.
And with that, we will have a straggle.
I'm almost done.
A stranglehold on the eastern seaboard.
I'm sorry, the code was what?
Three, five, what?
Oh, I'm sorry.
It's one minute.
Is this the first time you've seen Tosca?
Is this the first time?
Then shut up.
Andrew, you're in the bathroom.
We can hear you.
Stop it.
Stop it.
Who's pissing?
Okay, when we take over the entire Eastern Seaboard, two things.
One, definitely enslaving a lot of humanity.
Two, we are killing this bitch next to me.
It's opera in America.
Yes.
What that is.
But it's kind of clever, and then James Bond is like,
you guys should find another place to meet.
And it's like, ooh.
That's what I fucking do.
And then these.
Mr. White didn't listen to me.
Dennis, shut up!
And these guys are so stupid.
I would know to fake the funk, you know,
enjoy a little part of the numbers still,
and then sneak out to the bathroom later.
You know, everyone just gets up and leaves.
That is the funniest part of this.
Everybody at the same...
Like, they're clearing out
because a massive fart happened.
Just up and out.
And he's clicking the pictures.
He's, of course,
he becomes a photojournalist for a minute here.
And then he beats up some random guy,
the one guy they have going after him.
There's a guy going up this stairs.
I was like, is he part of the show?
Is he doing a lighting cue?
I don't think this guy up for.
I don't think Bond ever gets like an ID that it's not.
He just jumps on this dude's back and beats the shit out of him.
He wanted to fight this guy because he was talking during the opera.
And it's his goddamn wife's anniversary.
Like, come on.
His tickets were expensive.
Two months pay on these things.
Did you see the production design?
So he's dead.
And then they go out.
He gets into it with another guy who he throws.
off a roof, but he doesn't kill him, so he's
learning. But then he lands on
Almarieck's car, and he's like, oh, is that one of our
guys? No, and he does this, like, paparazzo, like, then he shouldn't be looking
at my face! And then they just shoot this dude, and the thing
that's weird, and I guess Bond doesn't care, but Bonn gets blamed for the murder
and never corrects the record. And I feel like, if you're on thin ice with your
boss, because you keep killing people that you need to
interrogate for information, and then a dude gets killed, and it's not your
fault and you get blamed for it, you've got to be like, listen,
I know the six-month review's coming up.
That one back in Austria that fell off
the roof, I just dropped him. He was totally
alive when he landed on the hood of that car.
Well, you heard him. Take it down from $3,000 to
$2,900,000.
I'll believe him. Just do it.
Only threw him off a roof. That's it. It's fine. Don't worry
about it. Yeah, babe. That's James Bond. He's totally
killing way too many. You can't know, dude.
Hey, you cannot use snipers in this level.
You're not allowed to.
You're not allowed.
No, no, I'll be with, yeah, the fate of the world.
Got it.
Fuck you, Jerry.
You're not allowed to use this.
You shouldn't be camping.
It's cheating.
Did we refill the monsters, babe?
The white monsters.
You know I like the white ones.
The tall cats.
You know what I like.
The energy drink.
The energy drink.
Babe, who do you think would win?
the slappers own the Golden Eye Battle.
Me or Jimmy. Yeah, I know it's weird. I'm talking
about a thing that his name's also in in a video
game and he exists in this world.
Oh, my God,
my worlds are converging.
I have never been more attracted to you.
What the hell? You can't play Slate on here.
Or Mitchell.
You got this guy, Dr. Doak. Where's Mitchell?
Yeah, babe, I know you got
this guy, Donald Gray, that you've got
to find. I know it's
really important. I know that.
But Tony is coming in from Arizona.
We met on the chat.
I know, can you make the good nachos with the special beef?
Could you, I know it sounds silly, but he really, he's a nacho fanatic.
Yeah, we're having a land party, and where's those monsters at?
No, I don't want to do it myself, because you know how to work the microwave better than I do, babe.
You know that. Come on.
I look for a job in the morning.
I told you that.
look for a job all day. I need to relax.
I told you, I didn't intentionally order the
fish and chips pizza. They said it to me because I
made a joke.
And yeah, I ate it anyway, and I know my
farts were horrible that night, but fuck, baby,
it was not my fault.
If you're going to be that way, you'll take a bath.
I don't know why you care so much.
I've Dutch-ovened you since we started dating.
I've done that every time. I don't understand why
this time it's bad. Hey, babe, quick question.
Don't you think this bathtub's a little too nice?
for a government employee.
Where that monster's at?
Clearly, I can afford not to have a job.
Babe, these monsters aren't chilled.
Are you serious? Put them on ice, babe.
Are they green? They're not the white.
Tony doesn't like drinking room temperature monsters, babe.
Because then you can taste the monster.
And the whole point is to not taste the monster, babe.
Is there a monster in the can?
Yeah, dude, you didn't know that?
I didn't know that.
If you drink a warm monster energy drink,
you drink a little monster in there.
It needs to be ice-called to be dissolved.
Is the next movement of the movie coming up soon?
No, no, no.
I do have to bring up something against.
Sir, could you pick up your hat?
We had a...
Backstage, we were discussing this very band.
We made a bet if there was going to be someone
with Slipknot paraphernalia.
And now I owe all three of them $100.
And this is not...
Thank you.
Because there is a slip-not-a-sance happening right now.
People are back into slip-knock.
And I'm sure Corey and the rest of the gang
love hearing slip-nott-a-sons.
They do.
Mr. Bond, the game is Slip-Not or not.
We all wear a mask, don't we, Mr. Bond?
You should be escaping the Slip-Nott-A-Sons, Mr. Bond.
So this is the party moment, right?
I have no idea earlier.
Well, this is, no, this is, because she gets pissed off and she's like, like, like, Dan Hadea and clueless, like, bond, your credit cards are canceled.
Like, because she gets pissed off that dude in Austria died.
So it's like, the credit cards are, he's all frozen up, he can't do anything.
So he says, okay, tell them I'm going to Cairo and then gives them the slip to go back to Italy to bring out of retirement, Mathis.
Giancarla Giannini's character
from you guessed it the last movie
Who's a guy you famously fucked over?
Yeah, yep, and so we have Mathis
because Bond set him up and everything
in the last movie, which you have to remember
that for this to make sense.
He's like, oh, it's nice to see
that the Italian government gave you a little
we're sorry about all that false imprisonment shit
and you have this amazing villa in Italy
there's a gorgeous woman here
drinking wine with you half naked.
Hey, you want to come to Bolivia with me?
and probably die?
Sure.
I also need to borrow all your credit cards.
Oh, okay.
I'll pay for first class.
It is insane.
This woman is laying out in the sun
with a cold glass of wine
and she literally says in sexy Italian,
I want your hands all over my body.
And this dude's like,
road trip.
Sorry, baby.
But here, right?
Sorry, babe.
I need to be used as a human shield.
and thrown in the garbage by James Bond.
I'm going to be quite busy this week.
It's a tough job.
It is just one of the most, like,
almost 30 fucking movies at this point.
It is the most undignified death in any of them.
My Lord.
He'd be okay with it.
He'd be okay being in the garbage,
his corpse being in the garbage.
He'd be fine with it.
So we're on the flight there,
and then this is such a bed.
edit in the movie because it's like, are we
going to go on the adventure? We are. And then we're
at a bar and it looks like
are we on a boat? Are we on a plane?
Are we in space? Like I have no
I thought it would be in a goddamn space station.
Yes. But bad editing happens like this where spatial
relations break down. You have no idea where the hell
the movie just took you like after a cut. It's a huge
problem and it happens here.
Like just show me like the outside of an airplane.
Yeah. Because this set is cheap as fuck.
It's like a black box theater with like a bar and a
couple of seats in, like, lie down beds where they're sleeping in the first class. And then this
is what I take umbrage with here. There's a bar that's still open in the front of this thing.
People are clearly sleeping all around, right? So two things. One, he's been drinking, we're
up to six Vesper Martinis. Now, if you don't know the recipe for that, it's three ounces
of gin, one ounce of vodka, another, uh, Lillet, uh, whatever the fuck, that's another ounce,
I think, or a half ounce there. That's a lot of booze for a cocktail. He's had six of them.
Honestly, Andrew, this makes me very hopeful
because you clearly don't understand an alcoholic.
No, I understand an alcoholic.
I don't understand an alcoholic that's had that much booze
and is just totally fun.
You need to have him acting a little shitty here, and he's not.
Ordering them all shaken.
People are sleeping.
That's the other part of it.
People are sleeping on this flight.
Six fucking times?
Come on.
I'm sorry, I have to cut you off.
It's a red eye, and you're drinking and singing right now.
I wish he was singing,
because then I'd be like, that guy's drunk.
I want to know we're loving.
I want you to show me.
I'm just, I'm torn.
I want to say.
Is that slip-knott?
Some garbage can't be beating in the back end.
It would be...
I want to deal my gob and bleed you.
Down to deal this start of lives.
Come on, man.
The fucking song rules.
So he and Mathis like have a little heart to heart here
And it's one of like 13 times in this movie Mathis is like
You know you should forgive Vesper in that last movie
And you shouldn't feel sad anymore buddy
Is this helping you? Is this therapeutic?
Does anyone give a shit?
No
You know he should look at the camera
But now's a great time to go to the bathroom
So you need to forgive yourself honestly at this point
We know you got a bunch of snacks in you
You got to the theater real early
because you were excited to see Jimmy Bond
back on screen.
You got a big ass soda.
I know you got to take a leak.
I know you do.
I've had six vester martinis.
I have to piss my fucking brains out.
But I'm stuck in the movie.
You're not.
You can get up and go to the bathroom.
It's like 10 minutes of Daniel Craig
talking at the screen.
Fucking great.
We go to, where are we now?
This is the part.
Now I think it's...
Now we get to Bolivia.
Yeah, you get to Bolivia.
This is where we meet you.
The hotel.
Oh, this is where he gets snobby about the hotel.
Yes.
Oh, he gets so snobby up in the hotel, yes.
This is so funny.
We meet Fields at the airport.
This is Gemma Arderton.
And she's like, okay, I am assigned to take you to this hotel.
And then tomorrow we are getting your ass back to England.
And he's like, okay, yep, sure, sure, sure.
And they pull up to this hotel.
And it's no great shakes, you know, of course.
But whatever.
She's like, hey, this is our cover.
We're teachers on sabbatical, yada, yada.
And he takes one look around this lobby and it's just like, absolutely not.
No, he turns around
like Abe Simpson going into the whorehouse
just a quick
A morgue.
He would rather sleep in a morgue.
That's an amazing line.
I would rather sleep in a morgue and I'm like,
buddy, wait, three more movies, you're going to get your wish.
Don't you worry.
Actually, he's like dust at the end of that dumb shit
so maybe not.
A morgue couldn't help him then.
But so then, like, we pull up, of course,
this palatial ass hotel
and he comes in and he's like,
yes, we are two teachers on sabbatical.
Also, we have won the lottery.
It's the one joke he kind of tells in this movie,
and it works, and it makes you realize there should be so much more of it
because he's a great actor and he can actually do it.
But he's not going to.
Hi, I'm not a spy, and neither is my friend here.
You might hear some gunshots.
That's because we like to watch loud action movies.
Yes.
Oh, and this old Italian that's coming in with us, yeah, he's just part of the party,
but he's also not a spy.
He sits in the chair and watches.
It's totally fine.
He watches us.
watch movies.
We have a DVD of Red Dawn that is eating
away through my backpack right now.
It's incredible because, like, Gemma already
is in this movie. Again, she's
almost a bond girl, but like
has nothing to do. It's kind of
amazing. Like, he just goes into
her, they're in one suite, and then
he's in one room, and she's in another, and he goes,
huh, I can't seem to find this
stationary. And then she looks at him, like,
we're going to fuck. And I'm like, wow.
I mean, obviously it looks like Daniel
Craig. I have too much
ink in my pen, I'm afraid.
My pen 15, of course.
But, like, there's no...
Well done.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Well done, dude.
He's a classy guy.
He's a classic.
MI6, Penn 15.
Is that another organization?
Special branch.
Yeah, it's a special branch.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm part of Penn 15.
Petus Force 15.
But there is, like, zero charm to this.
There's zero seduction.
It's just like, you come in room.
Fuck now.
Which is like even cold for Bond, all right?
Like, I know he's not the world's greatest romantic,
but there's got to be a little something, baby.
He's trying to rebounds.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, because he's just so sad.
Oh, poor Vesbren drowned in an elevator.
Who gives you a fuck?
It's a different movie now.
She had a boyfriend.
She loved more than you.
I don't care if he was a double agent or whatever.
Or whatever is correct, because I have no fucking clue.
It is kind of great.
He answers the door.
Gene Carly and Gene NeNe is like,
oh, we've been invited to a problem.
party because it's a James Bond movie. Get ready
for it. And I don't
know if he's wearing pants when he answers the door.
Like, there's a shirt off.
It's a fuck marathon for sure.
Oh yeah. And he goes back to it and she's like
oh, I'm going to feel so bad about
myself. I'm like, this is a fun movie.
Yeah.
You want the instant regret to be
vocalized in a scene. That really
ups the fun. Can I get another
bad fight scene just to
pepper this up a little bit? Can we go back to that plane?
Could you drink some more Vespers?
I can see some people shoved at a party.
A lot.
How about that?
A lot of that.
So this is, yes, Dominic Green's Green Planet initiative is throwing this big gala,
and he's trying to get investors for his fake business, which is...
Environmentalism, which is fake, which is evil, which is a specter.
That's kind of the vibe I got from this.
It's just like, you want to give money to environmentalist?
Good luck.
You know where that's going.
Secret water deals.
Like, what?
You heard me.
Who are you?
What?
Lizard people and secret water deals
Uh-huh
That goes
So it's a big sexy party
And you know
We have the big face off of course
Oh Mr. Bond, Mr. Green
Hello, yes, okay
Having this sort of conversation
And it gets right up to
He starts roughing up
Olga Kirillenko after she
Screws this deal where he's trying to
Yes get some more dudes to sign off on his little scheme
And then she comes in like kind of wasted
Like hey baby
And he's like do you know how much money
you have just cost me, probably a lot.
I won't say how much, and this plan is very vague.
He's going to shove her off of a ledge there, and then, like...
We're, like, breaking this, like, stone balcony?
Jesus Christ, everything's crumbled.
This is very high school.
It's shoving, and then, like, Bond stops her, stops him, and, like, takes Gemma...
Takes Oka Carole go away, and as the number two is following them,
Gemma Ardenden trips him, like, he's a freshman?
Like, you know what I mean?
He goes, tumbling down the stairs.
He doesn't die.
I don't know how, but it's just his hairpiece comes off.
Which, like, that has to come off again
right at the moment of death for this character.
That's why the shot exists of the wig
falling off this time so that it falls off
at his moment of death, which doesn't happen in this movie
because he is hilariously consumed by flames.
And it's kind of amazing.
Matthew Amorak must really love Elvis
because this is essentially the reason
he drowns fields in oil.
This is the one affront, it would seem like, that he witnesses.
I remember a move my uncle's old friend, Oric Goldfinger, did one time.
I will do the same thing, but with oil.
Which is also dumb.
Yeah, not great.
No.
They go on a fun plain adventure here, right?
This is kind of it.
No, dude, we got Mathis, man.
Oh, my.
Oh, that's right.
Mathis and the Great Indignity.
It's plain.
a P-L-A-I-N right now.
So there have been this whole thing
that Math was like, oh, I know this guy in the police,
we are going to have this thing cinched up real quick.
Oh, this Bolivian colonel?
This Bolivian guy, and of course,
immediately this guy turns on him
and gets him beat up
and then sends two cops after Bond
who are clearly crooked
and they're like, it's see in the back.
turn out let's see in the back
this is a dumb thing because Bond has this line
as he's turning the corner to the back of the car
he's like now he says this outlawed
is if it's like a thought bubble almost
but he's talking and he's like
I wonder why he wants me to open the trunk
I've seen you do car chases in this movie
what are you stopping for the police
he has this thought as he's out of the car
and I'm like we'll do something about it
Why are you wondering about it if you're doing nothing about it?
It's two fat policemen versus James Bond.
He's got the upper hand.
And they're like short little Bolivian guys, too.
He's like two feet taller than these dudes.
His move is to take his injured friend and use him as a human shield
and throw his corpse at them.
His injured friend is so awesome.
He lured out of retirement and easy sex to be shot in the back.
This guy could be 69ing a gun.
goddess right now.
Instead, he's shot in the back,
dies in the arms of a dude he kind of
knows but definitely hates,
and then is thrown in a dumpster.
Who just fucked him in the last
movie, like, fucked him real good.
And also, like, it's like almost a touching
scene because he's dying, and he's like,
oh, hold me, James Bond. It's like, you know,
it's sad. I am pretending
that you are my Italian goddess
holding me. Close my eyes.
Show me your breasts.
His last moment on this earth is like
You need to forgive Vesper
And forgive you. I'm like, get the fuck out of here
What are you is therapist?
My last words are tell my mother something
Tell my fucking wife something
I don't know, or talk about my favorite song possibly
And Bond, remember this last thing
Oh, one second
This might be a great time for you to go to the bathroom again
I'm bringing it as a dead girl
from the last movie again
but you'll miss me
really cool shoved in a
garbage can
and he also takes his cash
he isn't going to need it
he might as well piss on him like at the end
in Nymphomaniac volume 2
any Nymphomaniac volume 2
fans out there
yeah all right
yeah you fucking get bean to death with a sack full of pennies
hell yeah
A yeah boy for the video, too.
This show's already a success.
The best part about the dumpster toss, though, is Olga's like,
Are you kidding me?
That guy flew you over here.
He left his Italian daughter.
He's fine.
He would have wanted it that way.
He says he wouldn't care.
He wouldn't care.
And all I could think about was that goddamn H.
documentary, the mortician. This thing has haunted me for a month, at least since we watch it.
If you don't have it over here, look out for it. It is a dude who was like a crooked
mortician in California, came from a long line of mortuary people, and he was the one that
fucked the deal up for the family, I guess. But this dude is like, it's just meat sacks.
Who gives a shit? Yeah. Yeah, I'll cremate 10 bodies at a time. It doesn't matter.
Who gives a fuck? And all I can think about in that way, he wouldn't care. Yeah, what it's like
GGL. Yeah, piss on my fucking.
corpse, I don't care.
I'm sure there's good morticians, but I'm saying I think 75% of these people
It's a little.
Where did you get this number?
Oh, of course.
The heart sciences.
I figured that was the computer you were using to get that number.
They're touching you.
Obviously, they have to.
Well, that's part of the job, dude.
But they're going a little far, I think.
Staying a little too long, you're saying?
Inside of you, absolutely.
Okay. All right.
It's going to be awesome when we have to handle your corpse
because that's going to be the special instructions.
I only trust these three guys to take me down,
put me on a raft by the river, set me on fire, and put me out.
You could throw me in a dumpster, just set it on fire
so I don't look tantalizing for these morticians.
I love the notion of a mortician coming up to a dumpster
with your rotting corpse in it and going, say.
But if it's burned, it might persuade him to move on.
to the next one.
There's another corpse.
Of course there is.
I was going to do all this corpse in the dumpster,
but it's clearly too burned for any fun.
But it is a blonde.
I don't know.
Oh, the hair stuck around so now?
Right where it stopped.
The pubic hair stuck around.
Oh.
Thank God for that.
There's a plane chase.
You know, they're going to try and leave the area.
We're like looking at these sinkholes
that are around in the desert because that's something.
It's so funny.
It's just Bond like looking over and going, wow.
look at those holes
and then Olga goes
yeah there's sink holes
like what is any of this
then they they pull up to a guy
with a gigantic plane
and he trades him his car
he leaves the car as collateral
because again Mathis was fucking
bankrolling this whole trip
sure yes and he's like oh yeah
I left the car as collateral also he's definitely
gonna make a lot of money when he totally turns us in
and then it just cuts to this dude on the phone
like yeah James Bond was just here
sold him a shitty
plane. Elvis, Elvis,
you're not going to believe
this. I've got him.
Yeah, no, I want to buy your plane.
Yeah, I got that car.
And also, this old Italian guy gave me this, like, ring
from his mom. You can take that.
Oh, this letter that was
for his wife, is that worth anything?
It's like a letter in case he dies.
I should read it to her. But I'm never going to do that.
Looks like nice paper.
I don't know. It's got thickness.
It's got a little thickness there.
These cufflinks, my friend, gave me.
They're also looking pretty sharp.
Yeah, they're M's.
Yeah, it looks cool.
His gold tooth, yeah, here it is.
I mean, he gave it to me.
No, no, no, he gave me his bank account information.
And I just, you know, I don't know why you're giving me guff because I have at all.
You know, gold tooth, that's another thing they were doing in that mortician, man.
Popping them right out.
Just taking hammers to mouths to get them things out.
They're taking real twisted.
Ear necklaces, teeth, anything.
I don't know about ear necklaces.
There's probably a guy, it's probably a guy with a jar of toning.
You don't know.
I think the brain computer might be overheating.
That's just one man's opinion.
Well, we're in such a tropical climate, you know.
Makes sense.
It's a fun little plane chase.
We're shooting at each other.
It's not too bad.
This dude kind of comes out of nowhere.
He's got guns on his plane.
Bond just has a shitty plane that looks like it took Indiana Jones somewhere 40 years prior.
I thought short run was going to jump out the back.
Or beloo from tailspin for Christ's.
Oh, my God.
Yes.
We just did a tailspin.
thing.
Oh, really?
I said at the same time
you did whole shit.
Weird.
Bond would clean up
in that world,
yeah.
Probably.
In the world of what?
Tailspin?
Yeah.
Like a big bear?
The dog person,
the bear person.
Yeah.
He likes, you know,
he's got a big appetite.
He does.
He likes variety.
He does indeed.
So they get,
they barely get out of this thing
and like,
they're trying to catch each other.
There's only one parachute.
And like, he gets,
like, I'm not kidding you.
It's less than a hundred
feet before this thing
opens up and like
they land they must be dead
but we black out
I think the Fremen
I think the Fremen
then nurse them back to help huh I think the
fremen helped them here and just you know what
I don't know their reasons I don't ask these things
his eyes are eerily blue yes
oh shit you're right them
do you think he was like able to see forward in time
just like the quitsots had a rock and he could see
he gets wiped off the earth stupidly in that last
he might have been forgotten he might have
forgot it. He might have done
that one day and now he just works for
MI6. It would be awesome if James Bond
was given the water of life though. That would be
kind of sweet. I think we're all dead
after that. I think for sure. During
the blackout, by the way, speaking of blackout,
Matthew Almorik is out of this movie for
so long. Oh, absolutely. Dude went
on vacation, I think. There should be another
scene of him killing someone or trying to get something
but instead it's like M just being
dressed down by the MI6 some more
like... Oh yeah, she goes up to her
boss with like nothing. This was, this is
again why I thought Rory Keneer was crooked
because she's like, do you have anything
for me as to what's going on when I go
in for my boss here? And he's like, no.
Nope. And I was like,
all right, well, again, that shit-eating grin
on your face that ends every
scene you're in is leading me to believe you're
crooked, and he's not. And like, basically,
she's like, oh, you know,
yada, yada, yada, James Bond is good.
He's like, no, James Bond is crooked. And
if the prime minister wanted to take your call, he
would. Oh, that's... Because she
tries to be ballsy about.
about it, right? And she's like, you know, the Prime Minister has my phone number, and he's like, yeah, if the PM wanted to talk to you, he would.
Dude, look what happens. Look what happens when you have like 80-year-olds in charge of everything in government.
Totally. God, retire.
Tits up left and right, dude.
Jesus Christ. Yeah, babe. Yeah, the Prime Minister's got your number. My YouTube video has got 800 views, so.
I don't know who's got the upper hand in this relationship.
It's pretty cool. Yeah, I know you didn't ask, but it's a Ninja Turtle's foot stepping down.
Hey, babe, I forgot to tell you, like, two days ago.
Someone called from the office, think he was like your boss maybe.
I'm sorry, I forgot, but, yeah, sorry about that.
Yeah, his initials were P.M.
I figured Peter, whatever.
I don't know who that is, so I didn't tell you.
Babe, do you got anything on those guys from the BBC?
I think they should adapt my podcast into a three-episode series.
Ooh, that's a good idea.
We're in a cave for some reason, and we're telling you.
The parachute opens after their underground, which is very funny.
And they basically were telling each other our traumas,
because it's a movie made after 2005.
If anyone would like to get up and go to the bathroom, this cave scene...
Her deal is the Crooked General, like, you know, killed her family,
and of course sexually assaulted the mother and the sister,
and she had to watch and burn them all...
The burning is very important because later in the movie,
she turns into Frankenstein's monster when she sees fire.
She's like, nah!
Fire, ma'r.
Like, she's this badass fucking, you know, whatever with the beach.
It's like the Martian Manhunter, if anyone gets that reference.
Ooh.
They have comic books over here.
I never know.
That's M.M.
M.M.
Exactly.
We go out, this is also, like, this is when we find out that he's not trying to steal oil.
He is depriving the water.
He's creating, like, damming up all of these underground water sources.
And there's, like, all these interesting-ish images of people in Bolivia
trying to get water and not getting it.
I'm like, then the end of this movie has to be
the water flows, you know what I mean?
Why not? Because this is the
wrongest, wrong turn
that this movie takes in its
entire runtime, not having
the conclusion be
in some sort of Dominic Green
owned and operated underground
dam facility. If Blofeld
could have his office in a fucking volcano,
this dude can have an underground
layer outside of a reservoir. And the
fact that it's just some garbage hotel
that no one's staying at in the middle
of the desert. I could not care less if I try. The movie ends in a holiday
express, for Christ's sakes. That's powered by hydrogen
by the way. Seems like a huge mistake.
You're right. For a Bond movie, I want to see a computer in a rock.
Yes. That makes sense.
Because then also what happens is Bonn blows the dam. Dominic Green
is crushed by a title wave. Again, the villain killed by his own
device, right? That's what it should be. And then he's got some line about, well, don't
get washed away over it or some bullshit thing.
That would be something.
It's something.
It's anything for this movie.
You don't want to watch James Bond
in a full suit walking through the
fucking desert.
Like, man, to pop it off.
It's too much heat, man.
And they thought that was the coolest image, too, right?
Because that was on the poster.
That's all over the trailer.
And it's like, little did you know.
No.
It's the dullest part of the movie.
He takes the bus.
He literally, him and his girlfriend,
take the bus to a hotel.
Change, exact change.
I took a bus to a hotel.
I'm not cool.
I don't have any money.
Could I fuck somebody around here?
Does anybody need a fucking?
Oh, to get the money.
I was just going to say,
cut to the chase, fuck the bus driver.
Hello.
I don't know why the Bolivian bus driver
sounds like that, but here we are.
I don't have the 15 cents, but I have the pen 15.
then he takes off his pants in public
like I did at the earlier show
we get to this hotel and we see
oh my god isn't this exciting
the general signing the land deal contract
my god paperwork and a Bond film everybody
and you know if you went into this movie
you know what I'd like to see I'd like to see James Bond
you know maybe shoot some guys I'd like to see a couple of car chases
I'd like to see a crooked general
trying to sexually assault the granddaughter
at Charlie Chaplin.
That's what I...
That's sure.
Literally, Una Chaplin from Game of Thrones
and other things, is this like, kind of like,
she's just like a receptionist or a hotel aide
getting them beer.
And like the final scene is this like
weird almost rape scene.
And I'm like, I've got my fucking coat on already, dude.
It is way too late for whatever the fuck this is.
Absolutely.
That's modern times for you.
Yeah, exactly.
Well done.
He certainly was the general.
Oh, fuck, that was Buster Keaton.
Yeah.
Well, you know, this General Madero
would have made a great dictator.
Oh, excellent.
There it is.
City lights.
You got anything for city lights?
You know, yeah, this Green's deal,
you know, he's going to make a lot of money
off those city lights.
There you go.
Thank you, Eric.
You're welcome.
So this dude signs one contract,
and what's more exciting than signing one contract
signing to?
And he's sort of like,
Almarie just sort of pushes this other paper across
and the general's getting all up.
By the way, this general looks like a real-life version
of the dude they animated
who kills Oren Ishi's family and a kill bill.
He does.
He looks like a live-action version
of an anime villain. It's amazing.
He also looks unsettlingly like
Lips Manless from Dick Tracy.
Oh, yes, he does.
I just like imagine him sucking down oysters
while he's doing all this shit.
Yeah, how'd that work for you?
When you were imagining it.
Half?
Was it like you were sucking down those oysters, too?
No, no, I was just disgusted by his slurping.
Show us the slurping.
No, please don't.
We're almost done, please don't.
No one's walked out yet. We're good.
Excellent.
This is what we call it the bonus zone.
So he's like, oh, this is the deal that's going to say you're going to use my company to provide water to Bolivia.
And he's like, oh, well, did you know, Mr. Bond?
That is 60% higher than what we pay now.
Hey, babe, did the Trade Federation show up yet?
Mr. Bond, what did you say?
And so after all, that thrilling paperwork is signed
or maybe not signed, I don't really know.
James Bond infiltrates the thing.
And yes, there's just like these...
Never explain, like, oh, yes, Mr. Bond,
of course, this hotel runs on hydrogen jet packs
for some reason.
And every room has one.
And just like these things start going up
like fucking a Roman candle
and this is when
the general is at first trying
to sexually assault this woman who's
had one line in the movie and then here comes
Olga Kierli go to save her but then
she's also in the danger now
it's just so insane to have a hotel
powered by bombs
and Matthew Amarik who should be
like menacing in any way is just swinging
an axe wildly in the middle
of the fire. You were 85
pounds and you're attacking James Bond.
Stop it.
He's swinging his axe like leather face at the end of Texas
Shainsaw, fucking going around like this.
He's somewhere. He's got to be. I got to hit
something. I will say him getting himself
in his own foot made me go
that's tough. That's honestly
maybe the best part of the movie. Yes.
And, you know,
she kills the general.
There's a gunshot. You don't
see it, of course. Bullshit.
Show me that
shit. It's her entire character.
Motivation show it off screen and Almaric is like another woman you loved died
Mr. Bond how much more trauma can one man have you're gonna be talking about this for
four fucking movies you're going to need hours and hours of therapy and was it because
of the M Talkdown like he saves him here yeah because she's like stop killing people please
well he sort of kind of does like Batman begins like I'm not gonna kill you but I don't have to
save you. But in this instance, it's driving
out the desert, leave you for dead. Yeah, sure.
And then give him a can of oil in case he
wants to drink it. I'm just not even walking
with the can of oil. Yeah, I'm dropping that.
Yeah, I drop it right there.
Why carry it? Not giving him the
satisfaction, that's for sure. Exactly.
The thing, though,
with that general, though, just to go back to it.
Again, it is her entire character
motivation, and it could just easy. You get
Una Chaplin out of there. Yes.
And it's just she comes to the door,
you know, and it's like, oh, here's my sexy, whatever.
and then he opens the door
and she starts beating the shit out of us.
Yes.
And then she actually has some sort of like actual victory
that you see, you definitely need to see
this dude get one right between the eyes,
absolutely this off-screen kill.
It's going to keep me up at night.
Yes, but she is like petrified of fire
because that's...
Marr!
Burr! Bair!
And he...
Friend Gourd.
I guess as a parallel...
I don't really even know,
but he sits with her in this room
like a Vesper in the shower.
hour. And I'm like, for what? Get her out of there. They've got all the time in the world.
She's like stroking her hair. I'm like, the world is on fire. Get the fuck out. No, instead we're
going to contemplate killing ourselves. Sure. This is the weirdest. Like, are you just, she's like,
you know, terrified or whatever? And he's like, all right, you're ready to hang it up? We do it
together now. So I'm just going to go. I'm going to my temple right next to yours. And then the gun
you see, are you ready? I'm going to do it now. And he's like, close your eye. I'm like, this is a
fucking murder suicide. But then he sees a tank
of hydrogen be exposed. He's like, more fire
will surely help.
And he shoots that. I think he's thinking
if he shoots that thing, it's going to go this
way and just kill them faster than burning
to death. Not a bad idea. But it blows the
wall out instead and he's like, all right, I guess I'll
finish the movie. Lucky day.
Yeah, he sees the movie walking away, so
he gets out there. Yeah, the movie's
walking out to the desert to die. Well, it's kind of
great because he sees Montiel Amararik
walking off in the distance and he
goes to Olga Kirling go, hold on, I've
got something to do.
And then you just sort of see him
in a car commercial
narrated by Matthew McConaughey
for some reason.
Oh man, when you just got done
blowing up that hydrogen-powered
hotel in the middle of the desert, man.
You just want a nice, smooth ride back home.
You know, I was to stabilize
in the government of Bolivia
before it was cool.
When you need to kill a Frenchman
because he helped kill your lovely,
well, it's easy to do that in a Mustang.
Yeah, the new Lincoln Continental,
the perfect seat for your ass
and all its traumas.
B-O-L-I-V-I-A, baby.
But so, yes, he pulls this guy out of the trunk
and he's like, you're going to walk.
They've had a conversation
that's very important to the bullshit lore
that we're setting up,
where he clearly tells them all about Spector,
but we can't hear a second of it
because they're going to get sued.
So why have it?
Like, the dude gets out of the car,
and Bond is like, thank you.
You've given me all the information I ever needed.
You're like, what is any of it?
What was anything he told you?
Well, then why are there three more fucking movies, man?
Yeah, if all the information was there, yeah, you're right.
And we just sort of cut, like, at the end of the first Blade movie,
we're in Russia for some reason.
You're like, huh?
Yes, exactly.
What happened to you?
My kingdom for some nighttime Ruski vampires, man.
Why not at this point?
Yeah, he's saving a Canadian intelligence agent, right?
Yes.
Because this lady's...
AI 6
Like how they
Oh no
Again
It's a North American thing
You wouldn't get it
We almost made it
We're in the bonus
Don't fucking anger though
Sorry sorry I'm gonna stop
No what's left
But yeah
This Canadian intelligence officer
Is falling for the same thing
That Vesper did
This dude's given the same song and dance
And Bonn comes in
He's like so let me guess
Your intelligence
Don't worry I know you are
So you don't have to lie about it
And let me guess, you've fallen in love with this guy.
And soon enough, he's going to ask you for some information
because he's in a real tight bond and blah, blah, blah, blah.
And he's like, you better just get out of here right now.
Go tell your boss how much you fucked up at work.
And maybe you won't be fired.
And the funniest thing is this woman is leaving the hotel room
and you just hear this very solemn, thank you.
I'd be in way bigger trouble than I already am, so thank you.
By the way, you are 100% getting fired.
Oh, yeah.
Executed.
This is not a discussion.
The Canadians don't play.
Fired but maybe not murdered.
Maybe not left in a river.
And then yet again, the movie's like,
we're not going to see this scene.
And like, Bond just leaves like,
well, that was exciting.
That was exciting and informative
for all my trauma and whatever.
Because he lets him live
and this is the moment, right?
There's now been two movies
where she's like, you keep killing people
and it's not right.
We need information from these folks.
And so when he has this character
developing moment. I can't believe I'm saying character
development with James Bond, but here we are.
It's this big moment
and you don't see it. You don't see him, like
whatever it was, right? He maybe pulls the
trigger and the gun's not loaded. He gives the guy a good
scare. Whatever it is. You'll see
any of it. M's just like, is he alive?
Yes.
You brought your grandma to Russia with you?
And then he just kind of walks
off and she's like, oh, Bond, you know, don't go
too far. I'm glad you're back or whatever
and it's the old I never left.
and then this is what it's the biggest that excellent trailer that really tricks you into thinking this is a good movie
it also has something that the rest of this movie barely has it all which is the amazing orchestration of the james bond theme song
and it's only in the last seconds of this movie when the credits are on that you get any bad up at all yeah how about when he's
in the plane chase we get a little of it there no how about in the car chase at the beginning maybe a little there no
The score in this movie is awful.
What do you want to do?
Excite people?
The fuck is wrong with you.
Maybe just be a scotch titillating.
I don't know.
That's illegal.
No.
We don't do that anymore.
And that's Quantum of Solace, everybody.
That is the end of the movie.
Jesus Christ.
Now, like I said, up top, we will be closing the show like we always do,
reading some writing from the absolute
best place to get some high-minded
thinking about film on the internet, the
internet movie database user review section.
Got a couple here.
On both sides of the ball, I think.
We got two, there's a 10 out of 10, and there's a 1 out of 10.
A 10 out of 10.
Strap in.
Great.
10 out of 10 stars, written by
GABSI, November the 23rd,
2008, so this is a real straight
from theater situation.
Subject line, anyone who doesn't
enjoy this movie, shouldn't call themselves
a Bond fan.
Done and done.
Take my card.
I saw this movie Saturday.
Nice.
I was just putting in what we were doing.
That's so much.
Where'd you get lunch, buddy?
No, that's, but dude, you always get these
the personal lives.
It was raining when I went to the cinema that day.
All right, I saw this movie on Saturday,
and I have to begin by saying that this film is
absolutely brilliant.
Now, the B word leads me to believe
this is one of your people.
I'm gonna put that out there.
Or drunk, possibly drunk.
In my opinion, or both.
It's about 10 times better than Casino Royale, which was slow.
What?
What fucking planet are you on, man?
Planet Bond.
Green planets.
Yes, of course.
Was slow and lacked any of the usual Bond high-speed storylines.
Okay.
Like a water deal.
Yeah.
Totally thrilling.
like a halfway broken airplane.
This film throws you into the world of 007
as soon as it begins, portraying him
as he should be at 400 kilometers
an hour, an hour, non-stop!
I have to insist this person stop being so horny.
This needs to stop.
There are so many stops in this movie.
So many stops.
So many screeching halts.
There is not one moment in this movie.
this film where you are left bored or wondering what the hell is happening.
You're so jilted and awed by the supreme action and non-stop or and top-notch acting,
pardon me, that when you walk out of the movie house, and that's one of you, sorry.
Stop saying one of you. It sounds weird. It makes me uncomfortable.
You're so jilted and awed by the supreme action and top-notch acting that when you
walk out of the movie house, it's difficult not to sway drunkenly towards the exit.
This dude, this dude saw this movie and left the auditorium come drunk.
He was so excited by the action in Quantum of Solace.
Hammered.
Daniel Craig is a magnificent bond taking us back to the day of Sean Connery's blunt and brutal
007 that shoots first and asks questions later.
Yes.
Woo-hoo indeed for asking questions later.
There is not an iota of softness or glorified dancing about that they pass off his fight scenes.
Sir, you didn't watch the movie.
You didn't do it.
You were supposed to do it, and you didn't do it.
Do you think it was a thing where, like, he went to the movies and he was telling all those buddies,
I'm going to see the new bond, and then I'm going to write about it when I get back,
and he fucking fell asleep.
Like, he went to a midnight screening, and he fell asleep and missed the whole thing
and was like, oh, shit, I got to write that IMDB review.
When I get really drunk and I fall asleep, I'm like, that was awesome.
Honestly, I think that's where it is
Yeah
Oh, where are we here?
Everything is hand to hand
Raw fighting to the very death
Uh-huh
Sure, man
Daniel Craig and everyone else involved in Quantum of Salas
has pulled us from the foppish charm
And deadfish handshakes of Roger Moore
And Pierce Brosnan's suave charm
To an action character that will survive the desert
escape from burning hotels
and kill you if you even
so much as think about double
crossing him. End of review.
Wow, man. I like that he's like, how
can I make this review vaguely homophobic?
Foppish. Foppish is the word I'll use.
It's a vast work.
All right, here we go.
One out of ten stars.
That's more like it, James.
No, this is great
because I love this username so much, you guys.
written by Boomer
166. Oh, nice.
December the 27th, 2008,
this sounds like a divorced Christmas time
to the movie theater for this guy.
Sounds it.
Subject line, boo hiss.
Let's hear him out.
Ooh, wow.
Well, with a subject line like that,
let's hear him out. Let's hear him out.
For me, this has to be the worst Bond movie ever.
Dang.
Oh, no, they're a dame.
Who was the villain?
Who was the villain's number one henchman?
What was the plot about?
Oil? No water. No oil.
Fuck, this guy's making sense.
Too bad the writers of this movie didn't perish in the Bolivian desert
before they completed the script.
Whoa!
Yes!
This review goes hard.
I love it.
Also, should note, that they did start filming this movie
before a script was finished,
and you can't do that with multi-million-dollar action films.
You just can't.
Well, that's what you do.
You want to rush Paul Haggis.
That is the key to your success.
It's what the Scientologist wanted to do.
Well, you got to be careful with that, dude.
The next thing you know, you got another fucking crash on your hands.
Could happen.
Nobody wants that.
Too many special effects.
Not enough, if any, character development.
And why the dead woman covered in oil on the bed a la Goldfinger?
Well, that's you answered your own fucking question.
It's because it's a gold thing.
It's called a reference.
Hey, boy.
I'm sure they call it an homage, but it's a reference.
Geez, I would even welcome back Roger Moore
and some of the scriptwriters from those substandard episodes
at least they were humorous.
Man, dude hates on Raj, that's no good.
No, that's not nice.
That guy knew how to have fun and fuck.
Yes.
A very sad attempt in this latest installment of the franchise.
Quantum of Solace, more like Quantum of Mess.
We've been We Hate Movies from New York City.
Thank you so much.
Thank you all so much for coming out, Oxford.
We'll see you next time.
Bye-bye.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Oh!
I don't know.
