But first a word from os sponsor. Welcome into Breaking Body Double seven bene

(00:30):
cast, where we'll be diving headfirst into the seven cinematic universe on a
mission to watch every James Bond filmever made. With no first hand knowlogical
books, and little to no experiencewith the films, we are excited to
finally flash out the missing context surroundingthis pop cultural icon and see what,

(00:50):
if anything, we've been missing.My name is David C. Robertson,
Bethany Robertson Man, Diamonds Are Forever. It felt like this movie was gonna
go on for were didn't it.I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Friends.
We had a few people leave usfeedback saying that they really liked this movie

(01:12):
and we did not care for it, and I'm sorry, I mean to
be fair. To be fair,there were an equal amount of people who
were like, oh, which oneis next, and like oh dam diamonds
forever. They're like, oh,I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
And I didn't really include a lotof that in the feedback because it was

(01:34):
just a lot of the same things. So yeah, yeah, about half
about half of everyone thinks that issuper bad and in the other half,
what's what's going on? Okay,you said Bruce Glover, and something just
went through my head really quickly.Yeah, that's Crispin's dad. Yes.
I looked it up and I waslike, wait, Bruce Glover Glover,

(01:55):
Crispin Glover. He kind of lookslike that guy. Sorry, I just
looked it up and I'm really excited. Yeah, that's okay. Also,
I didn't realize Crisp and Glover islike just seven years younger than my mom.
That is weird. Yeah, hewas born in nineteen sixty four.
Creepy. Yeah. Anyway, okay, So we didn't care very much for

(02:19):
the movie. I mean, Iliked parts of it. Yeah, it
was all right. It was justsort of, well, here's another bond
the same thing, different place,you know, The biggest problem for me
is that On Her Majesty's Secret Servicefelt very much like a step or three

(02:40):
into a new direction. Absolutely,and then this feels like ten steps back,
yes, and learning all the worstlessons from the previous movements, like
here's all the things will do andI'm like, I'm a little bit law
for for things like from Russia withLove now, but we'll we'll, we'll

(03:05):
get to it. Let's let's talkabout the synopsis and get into our thoughts
on individual things. Is that good? Yeah? But first I felt like
there was a first I don't understandhow On Her Majesty's Secret Service was so
much better and how things were different. And then uh, with the following

(03:29):
movie, Diamonds Are Forever, itjust went right back to like same old,
same old, um, mainly becausethey did a different thing, it
didn't make as much money as theyhoped it would, and then terrified,
I think they they knee jerked rightback into um. Dude, they paid

(03:49):
They paid Connery so much flipping moneypaid? Yeah, they paid him more?
Was it like more than one seventhof the entire budget gives seven point
two million, and they paid himone point two Yeah? Yeah, that's
crazy. I mean, there's likewe had some feedback that was like for

(04:10):
this movie. For some reason,this movie feels cheap. That's because it
was. It was so cheap.It was very, very cheap. They
didn't have money because of Sean Connery, so so we st okay. So
I kind of understand that if ifI mean, it could be assumed that
the reason On Her Majesty's Secret Servicedidn't make as much money as because Sean

(04:31):
Connery wasn't in that one. Itmight not have been because they didn't follow
the same formula. But you know, maybe just all the simpletons of the
sixties were like we wanted the samestory over and over again, just in
a different place. Maybe, youknow. I I think part of my
dissatisfaction with this one is that itif you really want to, you can

(04:56):
ignore On Your Majesty's Secret Service,and if you really want to, you
can shoehorn the opening bit where he'slike, I'm on a quest to get
Blowfeld and I'm not gonna stop,and up I killed him as his like
revenge for Tracy, even though inthis movie he never mentions Tracy. Never.

(05:16):
Blowfeld is nothing like he was inthe previous movie. Isn't some of
that could be? You know,I felt like there was, And I
didn't find anything in the trivia tosupport this, Oh my gosh, but
in my head it felt like theywere trying to be like, hey,
Blowfeld's got himself a whole like facechange operation go when where he makes duplicates

(05:38):
of himself and it can also,I would assume, change himself. And
then they also said he had avoice box thing in his throat right where
he could change his voice at will. Yeah, I mean that's some fair
head canon. I mean they actabsolutely just say that in this movie.
So to me, that is thereason Blowfeld is different in every movie.

(06:00):
Yeah. Um oh yeah, Iwas gonna say, this is skipping ahead
a little bit, but uh,going along with like, no mention is
made of uh like the wedding,the immediate death of the immediate sudden tragic
death of Bond's wife right after thewedding, Um, no mention is made

(06:21):
of that. And then also,I mean Moneypenny at one point kind of
makes a joke about Bond bringing backa diamond ring in a ring, a
ring with a diamond in it.Yeah, yeah, And I was like,
oh, my gosh, if thisis okay, when did On Her
Majesty's Secret Service come out sixty nine? Yeah, and then this came out

(06:43):
in seventy one. So I mean, if this is real time and someone's
wife was killed like two years ago, I don't know, maybe that's not
too soon to be joking about marriage, but I don't know. I guess
like for us, we just watchedthat movie like a week ago, and
I was for me, it's likestill Rush, and I'm like, that
is so distasteful. Yeah, well, you know, there is like a

(07:05):
small pause when he says you know, and then he goes like, perhaps
just a tulip, yeah, orwill you settle for a tulip or something
like that, and she's like yes, Which is the thing that I'm annoyed
with, because you know, atthe beginning of the series, Moneypennies seemed
just as flirtatious with Bond as hewas was with her, and like she

(07:25):
could give as well as she gotright, and then like slowly throughout the
movies, they've just turned her intolike this doting lady, finding sad lady
who just will never get the lovethat she gives to Bond and returning.
You know, yeah, that's doinga great disservice to Moneypenny, I would

(07:45):
think. So yeah, Um,well, okay, so I've got to
also add that what something that justrandomly popped up on my Hulu like recommended
movies to watch next list was anineteen seventy four movie called Zardas, starring

(08:07):
Sean Connery and Buddy I watched thetrailer. I posted it in our Facebook
group. Um, it looks soterrible. It's so kind of like weird,
like trippy sci fi fantasy something orother. And I cannot glean at

(08:28):
all from the trailer what the storylineis. Yeah, I have no idea
what it's about. It's like SeanConnery running around and like red underwear and
like yeah but like yeah, butbut he has uh like the criss cross
is it isn't it criss cross infront of him like like bullets, like

(08:50):
just a line of bullets on hisbare, hairy chest and like really really
really long braided hair. Yeah,gosh, okay, and so uh somebody
in our Facebook group said that they, oh, I don't remember if they
said they had seen the movie,but they said originally Burt Reynolds was being

(09:13):
pursued to play that role, andI can totally see Burt Reynolds in Sean
Connery with that huge stash. Ohyeah, um, but said that Sean
Connery took the role instead because hereally needed the money at that time,
and Burt Reynolds was busy. Yeah, And I'm like, bro Sean Connery,
just seriously, how was he mismanaginghis money, his James Bond estate?

(09:37):
Did he needed to take on thatrole? I don't know what that
dude seemed to There's some trivia inhere that seems to indicate that our buddy
Sean may have been living life tosome excess. Gracious, if anybody wants
to look that up, you canlook up the trailer on YouTube. It's
z A R d o Z sord. Or you can just come become

(09:58):
a member of the Breaking Bond groupon Facebook because you have a lot of
fun over there. I guess Idon't know. I have fun seeing what
people write, enjoy it anyway,All right, let's get to this synopsis
now. Okay, so this isfrom Wikipedia. You know I'm not gonna

(10:18):
write a synopsis. I feel likeI've been I shouldn't give that disclaimer.
I probably should um. James Bond, agent Double seven, pursues Ernst Stavro
Blowfeld and eventually finds him at afacility where Blowfield look alikes are being created
through surgery. Bond kills a testsubject and later the real Blowfeld by drowning
him in a pool of superheated mud. By the way, that that those

(10:39):
the mud was mashed potatoes. Ohgod, yeah, well they did a
really good job with that. Yep, that's crazy. And it was real
dumb because I was like, youand me both were just like, how
is this dude drowning? Yeah?This like two foot pool? Stand up,
bro, stand up, like pickup your arms and push up on

(11:01):
the ground. Stand up. Yeah. I didn't understand. Yeah, And
the whole thing was like, Iguess it should have been an indicator for
me that Blowfeld wasn't going was actuallystill alive. But just like the whole
thing, like, I feel likeJames Bond should have figured that out,
because the whole thing was just soquick and easy. I was just like,

(11:22):
are they really just gonna like tryto pretend they're taking this character out
this quick? Yeah, with likeno fanfare, no, no, you
know, pop and circumstance. Justthis is the teaser before the movie starts,
and we're gonna get do another thing. Yeah, Wilfred White or whatever
his name what Willard White, whateverhis name was. Yeah, I was

(11:46):
I was surprised that it happened thatsoon, but absolutely did not believe that
Blowfeld had actually died. Yeah.It was just like before the actual credits,
I'm just like, oh, wellthat was dumb. Yeah. I
was like, well that was tooquick and easy. He is faking being
dead or something. Yeah, Ididn't believe it. It just felt like
they were like, we don't wantto deal with the whole Tracy thing,

(12:07):
so we're just gonna have him goon his revenge quest and the teaser and
if anybody ever asked, we'd belike, no, say he did it.
It was like right before the moviestarted. Yeah, we didn't want
to deal with that. And bythe way, I'm also I'm also just
saying, you know, I'm gonnahead Cannon and I know I'm gonna get
people again like, dude, youcan't head Cannon James Bond movies like this,

(12:28):
But I'm gonna then they need towrite better, right, Um,
So I'm gonna have to go with, I'm gonna have to go with Bond
looked younger and on Her Majesty's Secretservice because Tracy revitalized him and gave him
a new lease on life, thiscommentary on what love can do. But
once he lost love, he revertedviolently back to his old ways and was

(12:52):
more haggard and old than he hadbeen before. Clearly much more hairy.
This was Actually I didn't put itin the trivia, but this was apparently
the only Bond movie where they didn'ttrim his eyebrows. Go wow, I
mean I didn't notice, but clearly, wow, I was a hairy man.

(13:15):
Yeah. And I was thinking thoughwhen we when we started the movie,
I heard almost from Arrested Development seasonfive, um or season four whatever.
It was like, I could hearRon Howard doing the doing the bit.
I was just like, clearly Tracy'slost head had aged the lad.
You know, it's like, oh, he's looking worse than ever. Oh

(13:37):
god, Yeah, here's a weirdthing. Um. I know Sean Connery
best um in his older years,right, and and really probably from Indiana
Jones. Indiana Jones absolutely as Indie'sdad, um as his pop. Uh.

(13:58):
Oh god, Julia, which islike the only Sean Connery impression I
can do. You just say,sadly, I know Sean Connery most from
Darryl Hammond's impersonations. Absolutely, Umso I only know Sean Connery from like

(14:20):
maybe age sixty five and older.But like when I think of the Sean
Connery who I know best in hisolder years, I think of him as
being like average height. Yeah,and I mean he's a tall guy.
Yeah, he's like sixty three orsomething. Yeah, I don't I don't
know why. I don't know.I guess maybe there's some kind of connotation

(14:43):
in my brain where I'm just likeolder, older Sean Connery equals like five
seven or something. Oh, No, I think it's I think it's because
he put on so much weight.I feel that when someone puts on more
weight, they tend to look,especially like on on screen. Yeah,
they tend to look shorter. Doyou think I mean, I don't know.
Maybe they tried to make him looka little bit shorter next to Harrison

(15:05):
Ford because Harrison Ford was the hero. Maybe. I don't know. It's
just it's just really weird that likemy brain makes me think of like older
Sean Connery as being an average highestyellow. They do that crap in Hollywood,
though, Yeah, like, oh, Harrison is the star. No,
he needs to be on a cratenext to Whenever he's standing next to,

(15:26):
Sean needs to be on a crate. They do that, Yeah,
but it's yeah, it's they hadLine of Woods down on a crate next
to Sean Connery because she was soshort they couldn't get her in frame with
him. Oh gosh, Sean Conneryto me is just almost two different people,
because this is the first time I'vewatched him in the James Bond films,

(15:46):
and I don't know, it's justlike it's two different people. It's
like the sixty seventy Sean Connery andthen like and then just older Sean Connery.
It's like it just jumps to there'seither young, there's younger one,
and there's older one, and they'retwo different people. My brain does not
make the connection that it's the sameguy. That's interesting and strange. I

(16:07):
know it is. I do thesame thing with William Shatter though, yeah,
where like if I see Shatter young, I'm like, oh, it's
Kirk, and then like when Isee him old, I'm like, oh,
there's Shatterer, like Bill, Yeah, there's Bill. Actually it's not
even that, it's not that informal. It's just like there's Shatter, like
an air of disgust, you know, Shatterer. Yeah, there's that guy

(16:32):
from the Slocum the law Offices ofSlocum and Slocum Commercial. Yeah, And
I think it's it's somewhere in between, Like I think it is. It's
like the difference between Star Trek fiveand Star Trek six, where like Star
Trek five, I'm still going lookKirk and then like sometime somehow Star Trek
six it's just like I don't knowif it was because like I've heard rumors

(16:53):
or actual like admissions from Nick Meyer, the director of Star Trek six,
that like Shatter was so over thetop at times that he would just like
keep having him do takes until Shatterwas tired, Yeah, to like so
that he would actually play the scenepretty well. Yeah, but he feels
so much more like Shatter in StarTrek six and especially in Generations or it's

(17:17):
just like, yeah, you're notKirk anymore, Like yeah, there's shann
there's old Bill there, Shatterer,the shat I mean maybe maybe watching more
of the Bond films and then doesn'the do doesn't Sean Connery come back and
do one like in the eighties,Yeah, he does one, and that's

(17:37):
not part of the official production,which I know, I mean, like
I know the eighties is also whenIndiana, when he was in Indiana Jones.
Yeah, but I mean, maybemaybe watching more of the Bond stuff
will just help bridge the gap.Woll this is going to be the difference
between nineteen eighty three and nineteen eightynine. So like because for the Last
Crusade, Last Crusade was eighty nine. Wow, Okay, it came out

(18:00):
the same summer as Batman, Ghostbustersto uh frigging uh Star Trek five.
Yeah, that summer of eighty ninewas our childhood and a Little Mermaid and
Little Mermaids. Yeah, eighty ninewas our childhood. It ended in nineteen
ninety. So yeah, I don'tknow, but yeah, I am not
looking forward to another Reconnery, especiallysince this a remake of Thunderball. Yeah.

(18:26):
I mean, there's only so faryou can you can uh, you
know, there's only so far Aearly eighties Kim Basic or can get you.
But uh, I don't know,man, I don't know. Anyway,
I guess we should continue on this, our our final Sean Connery for
a while, at least sure forto a break, I'm sorry to say.

(18:48):
Yeah. Yeah, well we'll haveplenty of Roger Morris to fill in.
Yeah. I wonder if we'll needa break from Roger. I don't
know. I hope not. Idon't want to a break. I don't
want to. I just want toenjoy all. Well. See, I
think the problem one of our problemshere is that we are blaming Sean Connery.
Yeah, which some of it ishis fault because he's like, no,

(19:11):
I want all the money, youknow, But I don't know,
man, Yeah, I think I'mit's sort of like Doctor Who, where
I'm sort of like assigning a differentdirection to different when when a different actor
comes in. But that's all we'veseen, right, That's literally all we've
seen, is like the movies becamedrastically the movie but was drastically different when

(19:34):
we had uh Lazoby. Yeah,so I know that wasn't just him,
right, But anyway, well,I mean some I don't know. At
least one thing was Lasabe. Itwas his background in fighting and so they
wrote, they choreographed better fight scenes. Yeah, but like for as long.
I mean, Sean Connery was bondfor several years. He could have

(19:56):
taken some kind of lessons or no, but Connery seemed to actually have I
feel like he did not. Hegrew tired. He was so tired of
the role, like he resented it. He didn't want to learn anything.
True. Gosh, what a thingto be able to grow tired of.
I know, I'm tired of makingmillions of dollars. Yeah, do wind

(20:17):
up being an action hero and sleepingwith beautiful women? Yeah? Yeah.
Anyway, while assassin's Mister Went andmister Kidd systematically kills several diamond smugglers,
m suspects South African diamonds are beingstockpiled to depress prices by dumping, and
orders Bond to uncover the smuggling ring. Posing as professional smuggler and assassin Peter

(20:40):
Frank's Bond travels to Amsterdam to meetcontact Tiffany Case. The real Frank shows
up, but Bond intercepts and killshim and switch his ideas to make it
seem like Frank's his bond. Caseand Bond then go to the Los Angeles
to the Los Angeles to go toLos Angeles smuggling the diamonds inside Frank's corps.
I okay, I've read that thescene where where he where, Lighter

(21:07):
wants to know where the diamonds are. He's like, where are they?
And he was like out of entry, my dear Lighter. Like I've read
that. Almost no one in thetheaters laughed or got it. And then
some people laughed and they were likesee. And then Albert Broccley was like,
those three guys are doctors. Nobodycares about them. Um, I

(21:29):
thought it was funny. I laughed. I was like, okay, that
was clever. Yeah, I dugthat part. Um. Yeah, man,
I okay. Mister Lint and misterKid are really weird. They're really
creepy. I mean I think they'rewritten that way. Well absolutely, I

(21:49):
don't think they were meant to betaken seriously. Well, I don't know
if they're meant to be taken seriouslyor not. Like this movie seems to
be a lot more tongue in cheekuh than some of the previous stuff.
Yeah, I was a little like, it doesn't bother me personally because it's
not about me, I guess,and I can sort of remove myself from

(22:11):
the equation, but I don't know. There was a part of me that
was like, you know, ifI was gay, I would be really
annoyed that, Like the first homosexualrepresentation in a James Bond movie was these
two creeps. So did did youfind out when you were looking up trivia

(22:32):
that they were supposed to be gay? I mean, they're absolutely supposed to
be gay. Okay, we weren'tsure about that when we were watching the
movie. They were like walking awayfrom a scene holding hands and we were
like, oh, were they supposedto be gay? And yeah, and
then like there was a very obviousscene when they were on the plane and
whoever the bald when with the longhair was like, right, you know,

(22:53):
she's pretty, Yeah, she's pretty. She's pretty attractive for a right,
another one just kept like glaring athim unamused. Um, yeah,
it was. It was pretty Yeah, I mean, that's about is as
far as they're gonna go in amovie, and that in early seventies.
Yeah, that was pretty progressive atthat time, I imagine. But also,

(23:18):
you know, it's do you knowthe Eddie Ezer bit where he's like
talking about being a transvestite. Andhe's like, he talks about how the
media always like they don't talk abouttransvestites until you find some weirdo in a
cave who's been stockpilot women's shoes.And he's like, that's not the normal
transvestite. The only exposure to transvestiteshouldn't be just like that guy. He's

(23:42):
like, what about me. I'mwearing a power suit and I'm wearing a
briefcase. I'm the executive transvestite.Yeah. Those I mean, those guys
were just creepy. They were strangeand they were creepy. Um, what
else that I want to comment on? Oh, hey, I thought it
was cool that James Bond stopped PeterFrank's before he got up to Tiffany Case's

(24:07):
place. Yeah, and you knowthis is this is indicative of the entire
movie. I could have really usedsome music, some like good, oh
my gosh, like heart thumping suspensemusic in that elevator five something instead of
just like quietly scuffling about. Yeah, that's weird. Every chase sequence,
and it's been in the several ofthese movies where's like every chase, right,

(24:33):
every chase sequence is just like,yeah, like I know for a
fact they had a good composer onthis, why are we not using him?
Yeah? That that would help alot, because I know we have
complained before about chase scenes being reallyboring and being too long. I still
think some of them should be shortened. But it would also help if there
were some kind of music. Yeah, Like if you like music can make

(24:57):
or break a movie, yeah,really can't. Like when I think of
Back to the Future, I thinkof like a lot of suspense, a
lot of like on the edge ofyour seat, like are they gonna make
it? Type of feelings. Yeah, Like it is like the last act
of a Back to the Future movie, and most of the time the last
two acts like the middle and lastact or like nothing but save the cat.

(25:19):
Constant to say the cat, like, oh no, now he's now
he's lost. All the book isback in this car. Oh but if
you look at that first Back tothe Future movie, nothing happened. They
just had that bombastic music. It'slike it like guides your emotion absolutely,
and all he's doing is like gingerlyrunning down the street getting into a car.

(25:42):
But yeah, but like the rightkind of music score also it like
tells you what to think, andit tells you what the actor and actors
are thinking and like how they're feeling. And yeah, I mean it builds
suspense and like enhances your remote oceanstoo. Yeah. In ways that just

(26:02):
some fat cock going. That soundof a bitch just doesn't do like I'm
sorry, like I just I don'tcare, like yeah, and it's yeah,
it's it's weird. You are absolutelyright that there are many places that
are heavily in need of some kindof music. Um, but yeah,
the I think like the interaction betweenBond and Frank's it was cool. I

(26:26):
thought that was that was really doubleO seven of him, you know,
like just going and kind of meetinghim at the front door, cutting him
off and um like accidentally messing uppunching him out because his elbow went back
too far and broke the glass inthe elevator. Yeah, just the scuffle
in the elevator, all of thatwas great. I didn't need to hear
like their feet sweeping the floor though, Yeah, I didn't need to hear

(26:49):
just like every like exhale they weredoing. Yeah. Yeah, that also
takes you out of a fight scenewhen you can just hear like, how
when did both men are? Yeah? Yeah, some music would have helped.

(27:10):
It really would have helped. Andwhile we're talking about music, Oh,
okay, I think it's really coolthat Shirley Bassie sings the theme for
this movie. She also sang thetheme for Goldfinger, which is a definite
classicum. And then she also laterin seventy nine sings the Moonraker, So

(27:33):
that's cool. That is cool,all right. So at the airport,
Bond meets with yet another Cia LiFelix lider Um, then travels to Las
Vegas. At a funeral home,Frank Franks's body is cremated and the diamonds
passed onto another smuggler, Shady Tree. Bond is nearly yeah, I know,

(27:56):
I think he was like a playon Shecky Green. Bond is nearly
killed by Went and Kid when theyput him in a casket to be burned
in a cremation retort, which mademe very uncomfortable because that's like three of
my fears. Yeah, And atthat point, at this point, I
realized, oh, I haven't seenat least this part of this movie before.
But like when I was a kid, I was just like, oh,

(28:18):
there's there's a thing and he's beingcremated. Creepy, but Tree stops
the process when he discovers that thediamonds and Frank's body were fakes planted by
Bond in the CIA, Bond tellsLighter to ship him the real diamonds.
Bond then goes to the White House, a casino hotel owned by the reclusive
billionaire Willard White, where a Treeworks as a stand up comedian. Bond

(28:40):
discovers there that Tree has been killedby went and kid, who did not
know that the diamonds were fake.At the craps table, Bond meets the
opportunistic Plenty o'tool and, after gambling, brings her to his room. Gang
members ambushed them, throwing o'tool outthe window and into the pool. Bond
spends the rest of the night withTrip Tiffany Case, instructing her to retreat
of the real diamonds that the circuscircus because you know, I loved Hell.

(29:06):
He didn't even care really how ifshe was okay. Yeah, he
was just like, I gosh,I'll sleep with the next girl who's in
here. Oh the light and thenight's not lost, my dear. I
mean he did like run to thewindow to check on her, and then
said something like nice shot or whatever. And then the other guy was like,
I didn't know there was a pulldown there, but yeah, then
he did definitely just kind of shrugit off, all right, Yeah,

(29:30):
I'm not going to go downstairs andcheck on her. Yeah, I mean,
clearly something was about to happen becausewe saw pullenty of her. Oh
yeah, oh yeah, she was. They were getting ready for some kind
of event, some kind of saltmining occasion, mining that salt. This

(29:52):
sounds gross, sounds She was like, doodle me, Jimmy, dude,
Jamie, oh oh my. Allright. Well, so Bond spends the
rest of the night with Tiffany caseinstructing her to retrieve the real diamonds at
the Circus Circus casino. Tiffany renaggson her deal to meet back with Bond

(30:15):
and instead flees, passing off thediamonds to the next smuggler. However,
seeing that seeing that Otel that O'Toolewas killed after being mistaken for her,
Tiffany changes her mind. She drivesBond to the airport where the diamonds are
given to Professor Mets. A laserrefraction specialist who is followed by remote facility.
Followed to a remote facility, aBond enters the apparent destination of the

(30:37):
diamonds, a research laboratory owned byWhite, where a satellite is being built
by Mets. When Bond's cover isblown, he escapes by stealing a moon
buggy and reunites with Tiffany. Ohmy, I enjoyed that. Do you
think the creators of Zardas saw himin a moon buggy and like that's the

(31:00):
look? I don't know. Iliked the idea, Like I liked the
idea that a moonbuggy would traverse theterrain of the desert better than cars.
Yeah, and I mean it wasgoing so much slower than the other vehicles,

(31:22):
but yeah, it was taking thatterrain a lot better. Yeah,
that was It didn't really funny.There's actually apparently a shot in the movie
where you could see the moonbuggy's wheellike rolling off. Oh god, well
that was one chase sequence that Idid not mind. I didn't mind it
because it was so goofy. Itwas so goofy. But I really needed

(31:42):
some music, man. I wasjust dying. Yeah, absolutely, I
was just dying. Um, Ireally liked. Uh, I really liked
Tiffany yelling at the guy and demandinghersel stamps at the gas station and all
of that. That was fun.Yeah, that was cool. Um Oh
yes, um. Disappointed that poorPlenty did end up being killed in a

(32:07):
pool, right, the irony?That was sad. Why do you say
the irony because she was thrown outof the hotel room like supposedly to her.
Oh, because I was thinking ofwhat happened to in real life Natalie
Wood. Oh no, this issome trivia. I didn't know about it.
Yeah, like Natalie Wood drowned ina pool when she was married to

(32:29):
Robert Wagner, who went on toplay Number two and Austin Powers movies.
But I'll talk a little bit aboutthat in the in the trivia, Okay,
but there's like a whole bit aboutlike she thinks Robert Wagner killed her
sister, and also later on freakinguh girl that plays Tiffany Case married Wagner
in nineteen ninety and like it's awhole thing. Wow, it's a whole

(32:52):
thing. Geez. But yeah,some circular stuff happened in there. Yeah.
It is also apparently both of themwere screwing Connery on the during the
production of this movie, they wereboth dating him. Jeez, hey,
hey, hey, that's crazy.So anyway, Bond scales the wall.

(33:14):
So the White House's Top Florida confrontwhite Yeah, you almost just wretched And
yeah, that was awful. Mysaving grace was that, like every once
in a while they would cut toa part where that just looked like really
bad projection in the background, andI was just like, Okay, good,
it's not real. I had somuch anxiety when that was happening.
And I mean, like just theelevator alone gave me anxiety. Like when

(33:37):
we saw a shot of that hotelum a while before they were in the
elevator, I was like, holdon, there's something moving on the outside
of that building. Is that theelevator? And that already terrify That was
the foreshadowing. You knew we sawthat in the background, was like,
Oh, something's going to happen.That was already creepy. Like if I

(33:57):
ever stayed at that hotel, Iwould have to on a floor where I
could walk up the stairs to getto my room. Yeah, you know,
I've been the hotels that, likeI have the elevator on the outside
like that, but then also havelike another elevator inside for like the rooms
that are inside the building, solike you could yeah possibly, like,
hey man, is it possible forme to not go out there? Please?

(34:22):
Yeah? That that whole thing gaveme a lot of anxiety. I
was actually feeling like some butterflies inmy stomach and just and especially when Bond
like releases one of the cables andI'm like, why what did he do
it? Why? Oh my gosh. Yeah, that was rough. That
was rough. Did not like Iwasn't a big fan, all right.

(34:44):
Um. He is instead met bytwo identical Blowfields, who use an electronic
device to sound like White. Bondkills one of the Blowfields, which turns
out to be a look alike.He is then knocked out by gas,
picked up by Winton Kid, andtaken out to Las Vegas Valley, where
he is placed in a pipeline leftto die there. This movie had so
many of my biggest fears in it. Yeah. The only thing it didn't

(35:06):
have was public speaking. It hadare you trying to think of public speaking?
Didn't didn't they have some sort ofI don't know, uh it?
So it had fire, enclosed spaces, open spaces, oh heights, scorpions
going down your shirt, but yeah, that's gross. I mean I don't

(35:27):
want that to happen. No,spiders, that's not one of my biggest
fears. But no, I wouldnot want a scorpion to be put down
my shirt, you know. Andthe original script he was put in his
mouth, but Sean was like,nope, it wasn't Sean. What's his
face? It was a glover.Um. Oh. And then being put

(35:49):
in a coffin alive, So Imean, those are lots of common fears.
But just like oh, and thenbeing put in the pipeline and left
to die, like all right,cool, another enclosed space, and now
like a robot's coming after me?This is like another fear. Oh god
dude, Now, if only theyhad put him in some kind of underground,

(36:12):
enclosed space where water was coming intothe room, right, I would
have encompassed a lot more of myfears. Give it time, there's more.
I'm sure, Um what else?There was something else in here?
I think I wanted to comment on, Oh, how how did Bond t
tell the listeners? My love?How Bond ended up thinking that he had

(36:36):
figured out which blow felt he shouldkill. He kicked the cat to see
what. I guess which Blow feltthe cat ran to or something. I
don't know. It was something weird, man. I was just so taken
aback by the fact that he kickeda cat across someone re homed that cat.
Please please right idea Bond. Butbecause more than one cat there was,

(37:00):
Yeah, there was more than one. Yeah, poor babies. I
don't think he actually kicked a cat, I know, but still they still
showed the cat like hissing and beingupset. M they didn't do something to
make that happen. I don't know. I say that, but our cat
hisses at me and I didn't doanything to it. Yeah, she does

(37:22):
have a weird thing sometimes, Yeah, she does. Oh do the thing
where you silently point me to whereI'm at ah um. Bond escapes,
then calls Blowfeld, using a similarelectronic device to pose as White's assistant Saxby.
He finds out White's location and rescueshim. Well that's a quick synopsis
of that whole thing, Sez,it's probably better for it. With the

(37:49):
help of White, Bond raised thelab and uncovers Blowfield's plot to create a
laser satellite using the diamonds, whichby now has already been sent into orbit.
With the satellite, Blowfeld destroys nuclearweapons in China. The Soviet Union
in the United States then proposes aninternational auction for a global nuclear supremacy.
Isn't that always the way? Whiteidentifies an oil platform off the coast of

(38:12):
Baja California as Blowfield's likely base ofoperations. After Bond's attempt to change the
cassette containing the satellite control codes failsdue to a mistake by Tiffany, a
helicopter attack on the oil rig islaunched by lighter in the CIA. Blowfeld
tries to escape in a midget submarine, but Bond gains control of the submarines
launched crane and crashes the sub intothe control room, causing both the satellite

(38:36):
control and the base to be destroyed. Bond and Tiffany then head for Britain
on a cruise ship, where WintonKid pose as room service stewards an attempt
to kill them with a hidden bomb, but Bond discovers their plan and kills
the two henchmen instead. As theyimmediately reconcile afterwards, Tiffany asks Bond,
how the hell are we going toget those diamonds back because they're still in

(38:57):
space? Good? Is this agood introduction to James Bond? Oh no,
girl, I got other comments.Oh sure, sure, I thought
you didn't. We aren't at that. We aren't at that. He's just
stared at me, and you werelike, I thought, okay, first,
sure this synopsis doesn't include any Doesit include any of the stuff that

(39:17):
happens at the circus? Like TiffanyCase playing that game and then like it
was rigged so she would win,and then she tells that little boy blow
up your pants. Yeah, Idon't know what that's about. That was
weird. Also, we should probablypoint out that one of the quote freak
attractions was a black South African womanturning into a gorilla. Yeah that was

(39:43):
rough. Yeah, yeah, thatwas pretty rough. That's not great.
And then just like fake breaking outof the cage and chasing all of the
children off. But yeah, assoon as we heard them saying something about
I don't know, we were like, oh, good, a black woman
in a cage. And then theywere like watch or transform into a gorilla.
We're like, oh, go yep, oh, why why would you

(40:06):
do that not surprising. We're notas surprised. I mean, it's kind
of surprising because that's a real weirdscenario. But why not surprising that they
would do something like that in nineteenseventy one. Yeah, but it was
disappointing nonetheless, Yeah, that wasYeah, that was not great. Um,
but I do want to point outthat with both Banby and Thumber,

(40:29):
one of whom was of African Americandescent, with a Peter H. Bond
was equally opportunistic in trying to havesex with them. Dude, that was
a great fight scene. I lovedit until like he just puts them under
the water and like they can't fightback while they're under the water. Yeah,
it's like already fight move I knowis to make a woman stay under

(40:52):
the water. Yeah. Yeah,they absolutely could have fought back or yeah,
just like sideswiped his leg or something. Man, and I mean they
were plunge in or something. Yeah, yep, that was just las.
Okay, maybe the four balls werebecause he was he'd been two different men
at this point. Um, butyes, up until uh the scene where

(41:15):
Bond defeats them way too easily.Um, I thought that was awesome.
I thought it was great that hekind of you know, SLINKs in there
and he's like, oh, twohot ladies, and then they just start
beating them up. Yeah. Andonce again, I don't remember any music
being in that scene. Nope.I would have loved to have heard something
other than just like the scuffle ofyou know, back flips yep and forward

(41:39):
flips and whatever, shatter of aperfectly fine coffee table. Sure, sure,
sure what else you got, baby? I think that was everything.
Oh I did want to say,Um, I don't know if this was
in a hotel room. I actuallydon't even remember which woman this was.

(42:00):
I think it was Tiffany. Ilove the like wrap around fish tank that
was in the room. There wasthis fish tank that was like in like
a kind of a semi star.It was almost like a full connected circle.
But then like one of the ladies, I think Tiffany was like sitting
like you could go inside the circlebecause it kind of opened up. And

(42:22):
Yeah, that was just really cool, you know. I mean, I'm
sure it looks cool. I can'timagine it's smelling good. I mean probably
not. I you know, Iwould love to be in a hotel or
something you know where I didn't haveto take care of it, but I
could still enjoy how cool it is. But that just seems like a very
seventies type thing. I'll tell youthe truth. I don't really remember it.

(42:44):
I commented on it when we werewatching it. I was like,
oh my god, like a wraparound fish tank. That's so cool.
Yeah, but I don't remember thatat all. And they were like,
Bond and I think Tiffany were likesitting in the middle of it, kind
of about to get down before someguys busted up in there. All right,
it was neat cool, all right? All right? Is this a

(43:07):
good introduction to James Bond? Apparentlyyou think so? Do you think so?
Or do you? I mean itstill follows a formula, yeah,
like if you. I mean,it's not the best thing. I don't
think it's the best thing to startsomeone off on. No, but it
is probably not the worst introduction toJames Bond ever, Right, based on

(43:30):
this movie, would you want tokeep watching the franchise? Yes, like
you just said, it wasn't It'snot the best. It still, in
my opinion, is not as goodas Doctor No, It's not as good
as On Her Majesty's Secret Service,but it's not the worst that we've seen,
so yeah, if this was thefirst one I watched, I would
certainly be willing to watch another oneor two to give it a try.

(43:52):
Yeah. I think if this hadbeen the first one, I probably would
have tapped out. Yeah, Idon't think I would have watched another one.
It's it's not the worst we've seen, but it's pretty close in my
eyes, but I think it wouldalso. I think it would also be
different if this was the first oneyou had seen, because then you wouldn't

(44:13):
know that there's a formula, likeyou wouldn't be tired of seeing this stuff
over and over again. Maybe,yeah, maybe I might have a different
viewpoint if I hadn't seen all theothers leading up to it. Yeah,
who knows. Would you recommend thismovie to anyone you love? I don't
think so. Yeah, I don'tthink so either. I don't think so.
Thoughts on the music. I didnot like the opening theme song.

(44:37):
It was okay, um, itsounded enough like Shirley Bassie's voice that I
looked her up and you know,I was like, that kind of sounds
like the lady who sings the Goldfingertheme, So that is something that happened.

(44:57):
It's not, I guess, reallya negative or a positive. Yeah.
So I I found the majority ofthe music to be annoying, like
grating, like bees or ants inmy brain. Uh. And then when
I most needed music, it wasn'tthere. Yeah, so I was.
Yes, it was very very lacking. Um And I guess I don't even

(45:21):
remember the music really other than justhey, that lady sounds like the same
lady who sings the Finger. Otherthan that, it was just not memorable.
I don't remember it. Yeah,I would agree with that. You
want to talk about favorite quotes?Uh? Yeah, other than the blow
up your pants that's not really myfavorite que No, it's just a memorable
one that was weird. Yeah whatdoes that mean? Like I don't know,

(45:45):
like have a duke explosion in yourpants? Maybe maybe take a dump
on your pants and blow them off. I don't know what does it mean?
Um? Okay, I believe thishappened when Bond was in that pipe,
he's uh, I don't remember whathe was smelling, but he was

(46:06):
like, oh, smells like atossed handkerchief. Smells like a tarts handkerchief.
What well, I imagine if itwas a Tarts handkerchief, then there's
only one thing they could really beusing that handkerchief for swiping their own pits
because they sweat. Yeah, thatmust be it. Babe, help,

(46:28):
help, But what a weird thingto say. I mean, I guess
saying tart is like a nicer wayof saying other words for that. I
mean, I guess, but it'sstill weird and gross. Good gosh,
yep, plenty of tool if heasked me, I mean no, it

(46:52):
was the aftershave of mister kid orwhatever mister went, whichever one it was.
Remember, remember, Yeah, Okay, I said plenty of tool,
as in James Bond is plenty oftool. Oh I thought you were blaming
plenty of duel like she was theTarts handkerchief that he interacted with. No,
that was meant to be a joke. Okay, plenty of tool got

(47:14):
you? Thank you. The goodthing about doing a podcast is that when
you say something that is a terriblejoke, you can't see other people's embarrassed
reactions. So I'm just going toassume that everyone listening is laughing because that
was a good one, right,A good old cheesy joke. Yeah maybe,

(47:38):
and why why did uh? Whichone? Was it kid or the
other guy? I don't know hisaftershave. I think it was the other
guy. I think it was aCrispin Glover's dad. Why did his aftershave
have that scent? I mean,I know it's not like the cologne was
called like Tarts handkerchief or something likea sense of Tarts handkerchief, right,

(48:00):
Um, but I don't know.That's just such an odd scent, especially
I don't know for someone who seemsto not be interested in women, like,
oh, I want to slap onsome aftershave that other people think smells
like a Tarts handkerchief. Well,I mean, to be fair, it's
not like he would know probably smelledthat way. Maybe maybe Anyway, what

(48:22):
an odd thing to say? Yep, that's that's all I have. Okay,
Um, this wasn't really this waslike it once one of my favorites
and maybe one of my least favorites. When Bond is in the car as
Franks with um uh, the gangstersin the slumber inc hurts and they asked

(48:43):
him if it was his brother,and he goes, yes, it was,
and then just one of the attendantsgoes I got a brother, and
James just goes small World. Itmade me laugh because it was so like
out of left field and just like, but it's such a bad line because
it doesn't make it. There's nopoint to it. It's just a waste

(49:05):
of time. That's weird. Theycould have cut that scene and left in
the scene where plenty of tool comesout of the pool, goes upstairs and
like sees what's her face's address,because that was a real scene they shot
and then left out of the moviewhere like she goes back into the room
and finds out the address of what'sher Tiffany case, and like that's why
she shows up at her house laterand it's mistaken for her. So I

(49:30):
could have switched those yep, yep. Uh. So there's a bit where,
um, Sir Donald Munger says,tell me, commander, how far
does your expertise extend into the fieldof diamonds, and bond says, well,
hardest, hardest substance found in nature. They cut glass suggest marriage.
I suppose it replaced the dog asthe girl's best friend. That's about it.

(49:52):
I liked that line, Oh,I just liked it. Yeah,
Um, but not this girl's bestfriend. That's right, really give a
crap about diamonds? Yep, ifyou did, we wouldn't be married.
Um. This was rough when whenBond asked Tiffany if she was a blonde
when he came in, she couldbe, He says, I tend to

(50:13):
notice little things like that, whethera girl is a blonde or a brunette.
She says, which, which doyou prefer? He says, well,
as long as the collar and thecuffs match. What. I'm sorry,
based on everything I've seen, Idon't think that's one of his requirements.
Oh yeah, I don't think hecares. And it's a weird preference.
I will only have sex with peoplewho are having a natural No,

(50:37):
no, he there's a preference.That doesn't mean he won't have sex with
him if it's not. Oh dohe just? Okay? Well, I
prefer things to be matching match right, But oh well, I prefer peanut
butter and chocolate to be mixed.But I'll eat either alone if I have
to. Oh god, um,I did it was dumb, But I

(51:00):
like this this exchange. Hi,I'm plenty, but of course you are
plenty of o'tool named after your father. Perhaps, Oh that was so dumb.
Ye. When he tells Tiffany,presumably I'm the condemned man and obviously
you're the hearty breakfast yikes and yellsa man, this was a rough scene.

(51:21):
Is there something I can do foryou? He says, yes,
as a matter of fact, thereis. There's something I'd like to get
off your chest. Oh my gods, her Buccini top off and wraps it
around her neck. I know.And once again again, once again,
this is like, this is somethingthat I continue to be baffled that James
bond one thinks that he has theright to be so forward with women and

(51:45):
two women let him do this,Like we have got to assume this is
the first time he has ever seenthis woman before, and vice versa.
This whole spy game crap. They'resupposed to do whatever they have to to
get close to the person. Imean, that's I mean, that's true
sometimes, but still like just astranger walking up to a woman and see,

(52:07):
I would not feel comfortable with astranger or honestly someone I knew,
just for one thing, being thatclose to my face, right, like
getting so close to me and sayingwords to me, right, I don't
I have to announce when I walkinto the room. And then and then
what he says to her is there'ssomething I'd like you to get off your

(52:30):
chest, and just, oh mygosh, I mean like a half second
later, her top is off,yeah, and he's strangling her with it.
Yeah, I mean that was aninteresting move. But oh my god,
there was a certain there was somethingI liked, just like I liked
seeing he played it very I don'tknow. It was really kind of chilling
when he asked her where Blowfield wasand she's like choking. He goes,

(52:53):
speak up, darling, I can'thear you. Yeah, Like there was
something like that was so cold.There was something like dark in his eyes.
It's like something that made me feellike that may have awakened something in
him. Oh he was doing thisbecause of Tracy, Like that's that's what
That's what was in my head somehow. But that if that was true,

(53:13):
if they played into that a littlebit more, Yeah, yeah, Um,
let's see, because you talked aboutI wrote down like everything you wrote
down, So, um, Ilike this. I like Jimmy Dean is
Willard White. He was fun andliked him so Bond sees Saxby gunned down
while he's trying to assassinate Willard White, and Bond goes Saxby, and Willard

(53:36):
goes Burt. Saxby tell him he'sfar yet he was enjoyable. Um,
James Bond says, uh. Whenwhen he's with plenty of tool and there's
all those guys in his room.Yeah, and they turned the lights and
all the gangsters are there. Hesays, well, I'm afraid you've caught
me with more than my hands up. Gosh. Part of Shady Trees act,

(54:02):
I tried to phone him, tryingto find Willard White is like trying
to find a virgin of the maternityward or was that part of his act?
I can't remember. I don't thinkthat was actually, but I like
that line. Now. The partof his of his act I liked was
people tell me I got the bodyof Rock Hudson. He's gonna be madder
in hell when he finds out whatI'm doing with it. Bluefeld telling Tiffany,

(54:28):
Tiffany, my dear, we're showinga bit more cheek than usual,
aren't we. He takes the cassetteout of her bikini bottom or Tiffany takes
it out of her bikini bottom andhands it to Bluefield, and he says,
take her below and lock her open. Mister Bond, what a pity.
Such nice cheeks too, if onlythere were brains. What's funny is
the lady the plays her has anIQ of one hundred and sixty two.

(54:52):
Get it? Yeah, she's sheis a genius. That's awesome. Way
to go girl. Also, whatwas it, Oh, when Bond gets
really mad at her because she accidentallyshe thought she was doing a really good
thing by switching out the tapes.Huh and she was actually switching out the
wrong tape. And what does whatdoes Bond say to her? Stupid twit?

(55:12):
That was the wrong tape, youstupid twit. Yeah, something like
that. I'm sure I did kindof like, I mean, I understand
him being angry for that, butgood gosh, she thought she was doing
the right thing. Yeah, shedidn't know what was happening. He stuck
a freaking cassette tape and her underwearman yeah, and went bitch yes,
and then he goes, your problemsare behind you now. Oh my gosh,

(55:35):
that was weird. That was acover. But yeah, yeah,
but like also like, don't hidea cassette tape something that has a shape
to it in someone's bikini bottoms.Like that was very obviously. I think
there was very obviously something there.This movie was already so tongue in cheek.
It could have also been case incheek as well, or or or
tape and cheek. I should say, uh, you know, if he

(55:59):
was like if any case, butyeah, if he was like, your
problems are behind you now, andthen she turns around and we don't see
anything, and the implication was thathe like stuck it in between her butt
cheeks. Oh god, but thatwould make more sense and be stupid and
silly, Yeah, but would makemore sense in terms of like where is
she going to hide that? Yeah? No, Yeah, I was trying

(56:20):
to think too, like, yeah, where where would she hide that?
I mean, he can't he can'tstick it in. There's really only a
couple of places. Hop he can't. I mean, he can't really shove
it into her hand. Probably can'treally hide that in your hand unless Yeah,
yeah, I don't know. What'syour favorite scene? Okay, my
favorite scene is the Sumper and Bambifight sequence. Really yeah, I liked

(56:44):
it that Bond was getting beat upby some girls. We'll see, Okay,
I can see it. When youexplain it like that, I can
understand. I liked it. Isaid it before, like he kind of,
you know, he walks into theroom and you know, sees these
two attractive ladies in there, justkind of you know, sitting around.
One of them is wearing a bikiniand kind of sitting in a seductive way,

(57:07):
and you know, probably thinks likethat he's gonna at the least flirt
with him, maybe get a littleget a little handsy with them or something.
I thought I was gonna say atleast a handy Oh you said almost
the same thing. That was notmy in goal, um. But instead

(57:29):
what happens is that they turn outto be pretty good fighters and like are
fighting him and attacking him. Iliked that. I liked that finally there
were two ladies, yeah, beatingup on him. Oh. I don't
know what my favorite scene of thismovie is. I kind of roundly hated
the entire thing. From being honest, like every scene was something like,

(57:50):
oh, I'm sorry, but aboutthe moonbuggy chase scene, you know what,
that's a good call. That ismy favorite scene the Moonbuggy. I
just kept sitting there laughing at themoon Buggy, just slowly like bouncing along
in the desert. Yeah. Um, we've said we said it for um.
One of the first Bond films wewatched, there was something that happened
where we were like, seems likesome Benny Hill music should have been played

(58:13):
during the sequence. And yeah,that would have been an appropriate time to
hear that kind of music too.Yep, I agree with that. What
did you what was your least favoritescene back? Um? Well, not
surprising me, Oh my gosh,not surprising me. Um, my least
favorite scene was when Bond was scalingthat hotel and like hanging from it,

(58:34):
and oh my gosh, that wasawful. Yeah. I didn't like it,
I can Yeah. I mean,like the the being in a pipeline
thing. I didn't really like thatbecause that's an enclosed space, but you
know, I that's that's different.And then being in in a coffin in
the in the oven as they calledit. Uh, that also made me

(58:58):
uncomfortable, but still, like,I don't know, not not as bad
because I was just like, Iguess I was more interested to see,
like how he would get out ofit because I knew he wasn't going to
die in there. Well he didn'tget out of it. Yeah, well,
I mean he didn't die, That'swhat I mean. It's like,
Oh, how's how's he going toget out of this one? How's he
gonna be saved from this or whatever? But but scaling that hotel, I

(59:20):
was just like, Oh my god, what's gonna happen next? Is it
like one of the one of thewires gonna break and he's just gonna start
falling and then like somehow grab ontosomething or oh my gosh. I did
not like that at all. Yeah, what about you? I don't know
what my least favorite scene is necessarilyas previously stated, I didn't like really

(59:42):
many or anything in the thing.But there's another chase scene. Can I
just say, like the whole openingwith the blowfeld, like especially the mash
Putita scene, there was another chasescene and I can't I feel bad because
I can't remember it. It wasbefore the Moonbuggy thing, and that one
was also really quiet and just reallyboring. Well, I mean there's a
whole like really long, oh mygosh, that really painfully long chase sequence.

(01:00:08):
Where he's like he leads all thosecops into that parking lot and like
just keeps going around the circles inthe parking lot and they're just so stupid
they keep running into each other.My gosh. Yeah, maybe that was
none of that was good. Thatwas so dumb. Yeah, man,
this movie all right? So whatdo we hope to see going forward?

(01:00:30):
I would say the same thing thatwe have been begging for since probably the
second movie. Um, just breakingout of the dang formula. Um,
I guess knowing that the next moviewe watch is going to be with Roger
Moore, Um, I'm just hopinglike what happened with George Lazenby. Uh.

(01:00:52):
I just I want to break outof the formula. I want I
would hope that a different guy playingBond will bring some kind of fresh to
the character. I want it tobe different. I don't know. I
just I want it to be better. Yeah, I don't want any more,
Um James Bond. Oh okay,yeah, now, UM, so

(01:01:17):
much of what like what has beenJames Bond in these movies, or at
least in the Connery movies, hasjust been so bad. Yeah, And
um, I just don't I don't. I don't like the formula of how
many women he has to bed orhow many women there has to be.
I don't like I don't mind thequips. The equips are my favorite part,

(01:01:39):
right, Like, yeah, thequotes, no matter how bad they
are, are generally my favorite partof these movies, right yeah, Like
we're we're not the kind of peoplewhere like it has to be a drama
spy film and nothing else. Right, No, I'm fine with I mean,
once Daniel Craig has done let's let'shave Taiko do one. IM fine

(01:02:00):
with that is yeah. Um,and probably by the end of the Daniel
Craig movies, I'll be like thatwas awesome, but now let's get back
to some fun. Yeah, butbecause it doesn't look really dreary. Yeah,
but um yeah, I think I'mjust ready for a change and whatever.
That's a pretty good point, islike, whatever is being done right
now, I will probably get tiredof, Like, so I'm just I'm

(01:02:24):
really tired of like just plot pointsfor the for the sake of plot points,
right, Like, I'm tired ofit just being like it needs to
be more straightforward to me. Yeah. Um, And I think I don't
know. I'm also like I wasreally interested in learning more about Blowfeld and

(01:02:45):
learning more about specter Um. Iwould love for us to just know more
about that organization and about Blowfeld.Like I loved um when they had like
a big like employee conference meeting,you know, it was just sort of
like a let's let's catch up andfill everybody in on how our diabolical plans

(01:03:09):
are going. Number twelve, whathappened with your thing? Number four?
What happened with your thing? Iliked seeing the members of specter Um.
All we've gotten for the last fewmovies are like different men playing Blowfeld and
like playing Blowfeld differently each time.I want to learn more just about Specter

(01:03:30):
and the people inspector. Don't don'texpect anything for the next several movies,
Like it's gonna be like thirty fiveyears. I'm serious, Like this is
like the penultimate appearance of Blowfeld,and like he only gets like an uncredited
appearance from the back. Yeah,because the rights to Specter and Blowfield went

(01:03:50):
back to Kevin McClory or there waslike ruled that it was his. So
I mean that's that's okay to behonest, because if if we were going
to be getting more of Blowfeld,I would want to know more about Blowfeld
and about Specter, not just thesame old thing, Like all right,
well, so he has some kindof diabolical plan and in order to carry

(01:04:12):
it out we have to do somethingin space. Yeah, like even even
kind of Blowfeld's plans are becoming aFormula two. So that's fine with me.
I mean, either completely get ridof Blowfeld for a while, um,
or just do something more interesting withhim. I mean, we won't
see Blowfeld until the Thunderball remake ineighty three. Well good, and then

(01:04:35):
apparently he's in the Daniel Craig movies, like yeah, one of the episodes
it's literally called spect Yeah. Soyeah, and by episode do you mean
movie? Yeah, but that's exactlywhat I mean. All right, final
thoughts, what's your rating? Baby? Um? I give those two point
five moon buggies out of five.Oh, that's generous. I give it

(01:04:56):
one point five mashed potato mud bathsout of five. You know, I
really wouldn't mind a mashed potato mudbath. Apparently it's stunk really bad,
Like, oh gods, that makessense. They were probably filming in it
for hours oh god, okay,never mind, that's disgusting. I just
want to eat mashed potatoes. Okay, not take a bath in them.

(01:05:17):
What's your ranking system now, oreven system? But what's your ranking now?
Um? Let's see. Don't lookat mine, no, I need
to look at you are so I'llremember all of the movies. Okay,
Number one still doctor No, absolutely, um what a good thing they did
with the first Bond film. Um. Let's see yep. Number two is

(01:05:42):
still onto Her Majesty's Secret Service.Number three is still Goldfinger. Um let's
see. Here's where it gets kindof tough, because really, for me,
I think my number four number okay, no, number four is you
only live twice? Okay. Numberfive is from what from Russia with love

(01:06:06):
slash diamonds are forever? Oh no, you can't do that. You can't
have like two tied in one space. To me, they're equally bad,
man. You gotta you gotta comeup with some you gotta come up with
some factor to like put one abovethe other. All right? From Russia
is five? Okay, Number six, diamonds are forever seven thunderball, number

(01:06:26):
eight poo poo royaleh huh Okay,that's pretty close to what your ranking is.
It is pretty close, like becauseI like, I'm like, the
reason I'm being strict with you onthat is like, no, dude,
you gotta do that because I hadto do that, Like I had to
be like I and mine was betweendiamonds or forever and you only live twice?
Yeah, like really really, Ithink, uh, by far,

(01:06:47):
doctor No absolutely the best on herMajesty's Secret Service definitely second best, gold
Finger absolutely the third best, andthen like way after that, way,
way, way way far after thatis uh you only live twice from Russia,

(01:07:09):
Diamonds are Forever, and then nottoo four after that is Thunderball.
Uh huh yeah, So for meit's doctor No. It is number one,
number two on Our Majesty's Secret Service, number three, Goldfinger, number
four from Russia with love. Numberfive you only live twice. Number six
Diamonds are Forever. Number seven Thunderballjust can't get over the wonderwater sequences.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.And number eight Casino Royale sixty seven.

(01:07:33):
Yeah. So, and I havea feeling that one will stay there probably
the entire cope. So I hopewe don't watch something that's worse than that.
I high sincerely hope we don't.Yeah, oh my, even though
Thunderball is number seven, it wasnot nearly as bad as Casino Royal.
Right, it's like a huge drop. Yeah, it is a huge drop.

(01:07:57):
So trivial, let's do it.So. During a late nineteen nineties
airing of the movie on TBS's Dinnerin a Movie, Bruce Glover with annabel
I don't know. Oh yeah,sorry, I'm having a moment. That
was with the Annabelle and that guywith the glasses. Those they would go
to a commercial break and like,I think I remember some kind of kind

(01:08:18):
of like comedy, but like we'realso sort of cooking something. Oh yeah,
yeah, you know what. Iremember the commercials for those, and
I remember thinking that looks off.It was something they were trying. I
don't think it lasted for very long. Yeah, I can't imagine why.
Bruce Glover recalled that while filming theirscenes together, he and Putter Smith had

(01:08:41):
Sean Connery convinced that the two wereactually openly homosexual. Wow. Glover added
that a few years later, whileon an airline flight, he was flirting
with a female flight attendant and suddenlyhe hears a Scottish accent scream, you
son of a bitch. And itwas Connery amazing, who for the first
time had realized, oh, you'renot gay. You guys had me over

(01:09:04):
a varrel. That's amazing. That'samazing. Also, I know this is
a stupid thing to point out,but it's kind of cool for me,
Like thinking about in nineteen seventy onewhen Crispin Glover's dad was filming this movie.
He was just a little old baby. He was seven years old.

(01:09:25):
That's all, all right. ProducerAlbert Broccoli hated the line alimentary dear lighter
or doctor lighter, which Bond sayswhen asked the location of the diamonds concealed
in the corpse, he thought noone would understand it referred to digestion.
At the premiere, two people inthe front row burst out laughing at the
line, and Broccoli equipped a bigdeal their doctors because Broccoli is kind of

(01:09:47):
a douche. He's kind of atart tanker chief. Yes he is.
Okay, here you go. Connerymade the most of his time on location
in Las Vegas. He quote,I didn't get any leap at all.
We shot every night. I calledall the shows and played golf all day
on the weekend, I collapsed.Boy did I collapse, like a skull

(01:10:08):
with legs. He also played theslot machines and wants to late a scene
because he was collecting his winnings.Oh my gosh, oh hey, that
reminds me. I thought it wasreally cool that Q had come up with
some kind of like magnetic gadget thatlike made all of the slot machines like
pour out lots of money. Thatwas cool. I agree, And he

(01:10:29):
was just excited that he had comeup with that. He didn't care about
getting the money. Yeah, hewasn't even getting money. No. I
was going like I didn't even likepiece that together until you just said that.
I was there going like, whyisn't he picking up his money?
Like it was actually bothering me.I was like, pick up that money.
Yeah, so oh yeah, lookyeah, I just showing me the

(01:10:51):
dinner and a movie logo. I'mlike, oh yeah, I remember that
we made this in Microsoft word clipart logo. This Wikipedia says that it
was on from ninety five to twentyeleven. Jeezes, I thought it was
on for way shorter than that.Who was it. It was, yeah,

(01:11:12):
Annabelle and well it was a fewdifferent people. Jeanet Varney did it.
That's neat um. So let's see. It doesn't matter. This is
not a podcast about dinner in amovie someone named Claude Paul. Maybe is
Annabelle and Paul. I think that'sthe one that I knew the best.
Okay, anyway, Lisa, Idon't want to forget whoever she is,

(01:11:35):
alrighty. George Lazenby was asked tomake a second Bond movie, but declined
due to a lengthy and restrictive potentialcontract. Burt Reynolds was the original choice
to replace him, but was unavailable. John Gavin was signed to play Bond
in this movie and had recently playedthe French spy OSS one seventeen and the
eurospy flick OSS one seventeen Murder forSale. Adam West turned down the role

(01:11:59):
because he felt that James Bond shouldbe British. Michael Gambon turned down the
role because he was quote in terribleshape and had tits like a woman.
Yeah that's what he said. Ohhe said that about himself. He said
that about himself. She's buddy.At the last minute, Connery agreed to
return his bond for the sixth timein a two picture deal at an astronomical
salary for the time. Albert Broccoliinsisted that Gavin be paid the full salary,

(01:12:21):
for which his contract called. Wow. Well, it's interesting that Burt
Reynolds and Sean this was like whenthey kind of crossed paths for a role
the first time, and then Zardaswas later. What was Do you know
what Burt Reynolds was doing during thistime because he couldn't do this film or
Zardas because I don't know, hewas busy doing other stuff. I will

(01:12:44):
look that up. This is thisis like Burt Reynolds, isn't everything at
this time? Yeah? He waslike in tons of stuff. Yeah.
Do you remember the song from Dinnerin a movie? No? I never
watched it, only saw commercials beansin corn bread. It was kind of
like a retro feels No, Idon't, Yes, you are that might

(01:13:11):
be the last thing I say aboutit. Oh please, I'm going to
look up what Burt Reynolds was doing. The original plot had Gert Froba returning
as Art Goldfinger Goldfingers twin from Goldfingerseeking revenge for the death of his brother.
This character was a Swedish billionaire witha laser mounted on a supertanker.
Wow, I would have watched thathappily. Producers Staltzmann and Broccoli cast Lana

(01:13:32):
Woods plenty of tool after seeing herin Playboy magazine. Her voice was dubbed
in the movie, and she isstanding on a box for some of her
scenes with Connery because even in highheels, she was too small to fit
into frame with him. That's crazy. In the scene in Bond's hotel room,
she was unaware that her dairy airwould be visible through her pink panties.

(01:13:53):
Oh it sure was, buddy.Mmmmm, now here, here's the
thing I was talking about earlier.Jill Saint John married Robert Wagner, who
appeared in the Austin Powers film franchise, which spoofed the James Bond movies,
and who was represented by Albert Broccoliwhen he was working as a talent agent
in the fifties. Saint John wasalso childhood friends with Wagner's late wife,

(01:14:15):
Natalie Wood, who drowned in nineteeneighty one. This makes co star Lana
Wood his former sister in law.Jill Saint John and Lana Wood have been
involved in a decades long feud thatbegan during the filming of this movie throughout
the spring of nineteen seventy one,when both women were dating Sean Connery at
the same time. In February ofeighty two, less than three months after
the mysterious drowning of Lanna's sister,Natalie Wood, Saint John started a relationship

(01:14:39):
with Robert Wagner, Lana's brother inlaw, and eventually married him. At
a photoshoot of former Bond girls inSeptember of ninety nine for Vanity Fair,
an altercation occurred between Saint John andWood when photographer Annie Leibowitz asked for a
picture of them together. Reportedly,Saint John was so adamantly opposed to the
idea that it reduced Wood to tears. A publicist for The Shoe, however,

(01:15:00):
said it was he who had vetoedthe photo because mister Wagner would prefer
his present wife not be shot withhis former sister in law. In February
of twenty sixteen, would crash anevent honoring Saint John and Palm Springs and
publicly confronted Wagner in front of cameramanover Natalie's death. The case had been
reopened since November twenty eleven, initiatedby yacht skipper Dennis Davern's admission that he

(01:15:23):
originally relied to the police. Ohmy God. Following the confrontation, Would
claimed she received a threatening phone callfrom an anonymous woman who told her to
lay off Wagner or something serious couldhappen to you. She reported the threat
to authorities. My first instinct wasit might be Jill trying to scare me
off and protect him, but I'drecognize Jill's voice, it wasn't, her,
Wood told Radar Online. In Julyof twenty sixteen, Wagner was officially

(01:15:46):
named a person of interest in NatalieWood's death. In February of twenty eighteen,
Saint John reportedly slammed the door andla sorry a lac SD detective's faces
when they tried to question Wagner atthe house she shares with him in Colorado.
On twenty five eighteen, Lana Woodappeared on Megan Kelly Today and when
asked if Kelly or by Kelly,if she thinks Wagner murdered her sister,

(01:16:12):
Lana said yes, Wow, thereneeds to be a movie about that.
There does, and it needs tobe on Lifetime or Oxygen. That's crazy
and really sad. It's I thinkit's really sad. First of all,
that her sister died. Yeah,that really sucks, and it really really
sucks that it seems like she feelslike she has had no closure on that

(01:16:35):
all this time. Yeah, hersister died in nineteen eighty one and she
is still carrying the weight of thatwith her and still feels like justice has
not been served. And I kindof slipped down a rabbit hole looking into
that, and there's so much ofthe case and they're still investigating it now,
and it's the whole thing that's likeforty thirty nine years years ago.

(01:17:00):
M that sucks to still be carryingthe weight of that with you and to
not be able to just move on. Yep, it's rough. Oh my
gosh, I'm so sorry. MSo. Willard White is based on Howard
Hughes. Amongst the similarities, Whiteowned the White House in this movie,
Howard Hughes owned a real life LasVegas hotel, the Desert n At the
time of the movie. Jimmy Dean, who played White, was an employee

(01:17:23):
of Hugheses at the Desert end Deanconfessed to being largely uneasy portraying a fictional
version of his real life boss.Uh, that's crazy. When Lona Wood
was cast as Plenty of Tool,she was told early on that the scene
where she was thrown out of Bond'swindow room and lands in the Oh sorry,
Bond's hotel room and lands in thepool required the stunt team to throw
her into the pool basically naked,but she was as sure that no one

(01:17:45):
outside of the crew would see herundressed in public because the scene would be
shot at night. Unfortunately, thescene was shot in Las Vegas, and
as she noted, most of thepeople in Vegas were up at night,
so contrary to what the filmmakers hadpromised, she had to endure countless people
watching her emerge from a pool soakingwet, clad in nothing but flimsyc through
underwear and high heels from their hotelrooms. That sucks, yeah, because

(01:18:09):
like before she was wet, herunderwear was already pretty shore. Oh my
gosh, that stinks. When directorGuy Hamilton couldn't remember a name, he
would call it herder Scheimer. Hencethe appearance of a doctor named Herder Scheimer.
This movie has an in joke fromscreenwriter Tom Anklewood's Until Specter. This
was the last James Bond movie madeby Eon Productions to officially use the Specter

(01:18:31):
criminal organization or the villain of Blowfield. The name Specter is not mentioned at
all in this movie, as Blowfieldis apparently operating Sam Specter. After this
movie, writer Kevin McClory his legalclaims against the Ian Flaming Estate that he
and not Fleming, had created theorganization for the novel Thunderball was upheld by
the courts. Blowfield is scene butnot identified in For Your Eyes Only in

(01:18:53):
nineteen eighty one, as Ian's arrangementswith the Ian Flaming Estate at the time
did not permit them to use McClory'sworks. The McClory panned un official Bond
movie Never Say Never Again, madeuse of Blowfield Inspector, as it was
a remakeup Thunderball. Originally, thishad been planned as a revenge movie,
and Richard Maybaum's original treatment for thescript had Bond mourning his dead wife Tracy

(01:19:14):
and vowing revenge on Blowfield. Thatwould have been so much better yep.
However, with George Lasenbie's departure fromthe role, the script was completely rewritten
and there is no mention of Tracyand of her depth of her death deeply
affecting Bond. That really sucks becauseI mean, it was supposed to be
the same guy, yea, eventhough it was played by two different people.
That shouldn't have made a difference.It was originally revealed that Blowfield survived

(01:19:38):
the end of the movie and thefilmmakers were planning on bringing him back for
one last outing in the next one, but the legal controversy made that impossible.
This money Penny was almost recast forthis movie as Lois Maxwell's agent held
out for more money. Maxwell wasdisgruntled that several days working on each Bond
movie disrupted her career. Wow,yeah, I'm sorry, sir. Roger

(01:19:58):
Moore was offered the role of JaBond in this movie, but he was
unavailable due to his commitment to thePersuaders. You want to know of all
the things that Burt Reynolds was doingaround this time, Sure that was such
a defeated shore, even more sowhen you see my face. Okay,
this is just nineteen seventy one episodeof Love American style Skullduggery Hunters are for

(01:20:28):
Killing Run Simon Run in nineteen seventyand seventy one. He was in twenty
six episodes of Dan August M.Yeah, and that's all just from nineteen
seventy and then dipping a little bitinto seventy one, so well that is
pretty busy. And then he hadseveral things happening seventy two, seventy three
going into seventy four seventy five.Yeah, that guy just was not taking

(01:20:53):
a break. No, so hewas in everything. Yeah, all right,
See that didn't take very long levelLove, it did not. The
Moonbuggy was inspired by the actual NASAvehicle, but with additions such as flailing
arms. Since the producers didn't findthe decision sorry, I didn't find the
design quote outrageous enough. Built bycustom car fabricator Jean Dean Jeffries Geen Jeffries

(01:21:15):
Dean Jeffries on a rear engined ChevroletCorvet chassis, it was capable of road
speeds. The fiberglass tires had tobe replaced during the chase sequence because the
heat and in regular desert soil ruinedthem. Wow. The hotel. This
is this is really cool to me, especially with the with the Crispin Glover
connection. Yeah, the hotel underconstruction at the end of the street in

(01:21:35):
the car chase scene is in whatis now old Las Vegas. Was the
hotel used in Back to the FuturePart two as Biff's place meat. Yeah,
that is really cool. Tiffany callsBond Superman guy. Hamilton declined directing
the spy who loved me to directSuperman, although legal problems meant he had

(01:21:56):
to drop out. I know hedid because that was Dick Donner. Screenwriter
Tom Manko was served as a creativeconsultant and as an uncredited screenwriter for Superman
and Superman too. I knew thattoo. Neat um. Also, I
should have had this at the beginning, but I didn't for some reason.
The budget was seven point two million, and as we know, one point
two million went to Connery. Yeah, that's insane. And then I suppose

(01:22:19):
that since they still paid that otherguy, they had already contracted to play
Bond before Connery came back an wentout to him. So they still gross
twe hundred and sixteen million worldwide.That's a ninety three point seven nine percent
net profit margin one hundred and eightmillion, eight hundred thousand dollars net profit

(01:22:39):
and a profit percentage of one thousand, five hundred and eleven point eleven percent.
Crazy. So they did good.Yeah, geez, they did good.
All right, So we got wegot a little bit of listener feedback
here. Uh, diamonds are forever. Stu Little says, I think Plenty
of Tool must be a cousin ofpussy Galore. Possibly. Brear Brett says,

(01:23:00):
love it. It's my second favoriteConnery. The movie is funny,
is self aware. You have tomeet it where it is, and not
hope for any kind of grindy espionagethriller. But that being said, Bond
actually does a lot of gadget freetrickery that is thrilling to watch. His
infiltration of the facility where he pretendsto be Klaus Hergesheimer is hilarious and clever.
The only downside to this movie isthat it succumbs horribly to a common

(01:23:21):
affliction of Bond films. The finalact falls flat. Yeah, really flat.
I thought most of them fell flat. Yeah, but you're right.
It is a common affliction of Bondfilms that the end just kind of.
And you know, Brear makes agood point here because I did like that
he had a number of gadget freetricks up his sleeve. Yeah, because

(01:23:45):
that had kind of fallen into itsown little category of repetition. The Bond
movies was like, Q gives thema number of devices that he uses,
all usually in one scene. Andyeah, yeah is disinterested. Did He's
distracted while Q was showing him howeverything works. Q gets kind of annoyed
because Bond isn't paying attention. Yeah, except he does pay attention because he

(01:24:06):
knows how to use all how touse it. But yes, he does
usually use all of them at onetime. But yeah, sorry, Breyer,
sorry we didn't like him more.And Buddy, I'm glad you enjoyed
it though. It's so much easierto get through a movie when you like
it absolutely. David Wayne says somethingabout this production feels cheap. That's because
it was cheap. It was cheap, Dave, it was. It was

(01:24:30):
bad. Yeah, they had topay a lot of money to conry.
Joel Farorado Pornarado says, I amreally enjoying this one is faster paced,
funny, The fights are well done, definitely a few things I wasn't crazy
about, but all in all,I like it. You stupid twit,
Yeah I didn't. I didn't likethem. I didn't like a lot of
the fights. I really didn't.Yeah, I'm sorry, we do not.

(01:24:54):
I mean you liked your favorite scenewas a fight scene? Yes,
so yeah, that's true, andyou're you're off the hook. I'm still
I did. I did also likethe elevator stuff with actual franks. Um.
But yeah, you know it couldhave been better. It should have
had music behind it to make itbetter. Um. But again, hey,

(01:25:16):
man, glad you liked it.Joe Yep, I'm sorry you might
be listening to this and kind ofbeing disappointed that we did not meet your
positive outlook. Yeah, uh,nerdy tastic rise to us, and says
my dad would constantly say Baha,I don't have anything in baha when I
was a kid. So it wasfun to see where that came from.

(01:25:38):
Finally, that's about the only funthing about that movie. That's amazing.
It's such a dad thing too.Yea. All right, So over to

(01:25:59):
on her Majesty Secret Service. MatthewSalvatory at Pure Genius Lego says, excellent
review guys, so look forward tothese episodes. Thank you so much for
the shout out. Thank you,sir, thank you, thank you for
listening and enjoying it. Yeah,that's nice. Thank you always got a
kind word for us, and weappreciate that. Yep. Travis Hines says,

(01:26:20):
I can't wait for you to getto the Dalton movies. You're the
first person we've ever heard say that. I feel like, thank you wait
to get to them, you know, I can't wait to get to them
now that I've been watching Doom Patrol, Like, yeah, totally. I
love the Chief so much and Ilove his portrayal of the Chief so much.

(01:26:41):
I really want to see his bond. Yeah, and I feel like
Dalton is one of those bonds.That's like, everyone talks about Freaking Connery,
no one talks about las and By. Everyone talks about Roger Moore,
nobody talks about Dalton, everyone talksabout Pierce Brosnan, everyone talks about Daniel
Craig. Like, I kind offeel like I'd like Lasambie and Dalton are

(01:27:04):
underdogs here and I am very interestedin what is to come of those guys.
Like, yeah, well not Lasambie. I've seen what it came of
him? Did it go from Daltonto Daniel Kraig, No, from Dalton
to Pierce Brosnan. Oh, okay, Pierce Brosnan was Oh, Pierce Brosno
was in a ton of them,and then Daniel Craig and then Daniel Craig.

(01:27:25):
I was thinking there was another one. And if I'm not mistaken,
like Daniel Craig is like the firsttime the franchise officially rebooted, wow,
where it was just like, Okay, this isn't the same people, this
isn't the same story. Wow.So it was like from the sixties through
the late nineties and early two thousands, it was like, it's all the
same Cannon. He just doesn't age. Everybody else ages, and for some

(01:27:48):
reason, we're not forcing him toretire. Yeah. Yeah, it's like,
oh you know, hey, everybodyeverybody ages butt him that. Hey,
you know kind of the chief thechief. Oh yeah. In the
New Patrol. If you haven't seenNew Patrol, check out doing Patrol.
See. Then two just started andit was a special surprise for us because

(01:28:12):
we didn't realize that three episodes haddropped, right, And I should have
because I do a podcast about thisstuff, but it was very exciting.
Nerdy Tastic also says not connected toany of the movies. Talking about first
celebrity crushes, Mine was data fromTNG. Nice. But I really liked
Laura and Q was my favorite character. So when Loki showed up in the
first Thorn movie, I was like, oh no, this is gonna be

(01:28:33):
real bad for me. It wasall hard eyes from then onwards. Wow,
that's great. Yep, we weretalking about celebrity crushes last episode.
A few guys hadn't. Yeah,listened to all of these. Yeah,
that's great. I know my sisterChristianna loves Loki. She absolutely loves Loki,

(01:28:55):
so she's not low key about howmuch she loves Loki. That's true.
You. Next episode, we'll bediscussing nineteen seventy threes Live and Let
Die, starring Sean Connery as JamesBond. Nope, sorry, I screwed
that up, starring Roger Moore asJames Bond. Please please be wrong.

(01:29:18):
Yea Fetto is Doctor Conanga, misterBig Jane Seymour as Solid Jarctor Quinn.
Yes, my doctor Quinn. She'sgonna be so young and hot. Oh
my gosh, Julius Harris as the Johnson. Oh my god, it
was a hinchman who has pinchers forhands. Oh my gosh, there's so

(01:29:42):
