Jess has seen a couple of the newer James Bond films with Daniel Craig, but never anything starring the original 007, Sean Connery. He's pretty to look at and everything, but in a spy movie made primarily for a male audience interested in spy movies and "being cool" in the 1960's...well, I think you might have an idea how Jess felt about A LOT of this one.
But this just means there is lots to talk about! There's Auric Goldfinger (great name), the arguable best Bond villain of all time, and his stalky Korean henchman Oddjob (even greater name), who may or may not be a fridge. There's the various women (with way more sexist names, mostly) that are not given a lot of agency. And there's Bond, his car, and the only thing he actually fears: a castration laser beam.
