The Other Half

The boys were having it pretty good up until Thunderball appeared! This movie has it all. Jetpacks, goofy racks, shark tanks, and lots and lots of underwater cinematography. In a classic plot of SPECTRE stealing nuclear bombs and threatening to use them on the US or UK, James Bond is tasked with finding those bombs! Luckily, it just so happened he was in a health clinic with one of the guys on the plane! Is Bond good at his job, or is he just ultra lucky?Remember to join our Discord for movie nights and further podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The boys tackle the next movie in the Bond franchise, Goldfinger! He loves gold! James Bond is tasked with finding out what's up with Goldfinger's Operation Grand Slam. He also starts becoming the James Bond we all know and some love. He gets with tons of ladies, says corny puns, and starts becoming too dang good at his job! But that's what the franchise is all about, right? It also has most likely the weirdest name for a Bond girl ever.Remember to join our Discord for movie nights and further podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

From Russia With Love is one of the most famous and well-regarded James Bond movies. There is even a 3rd person video game based on it! That's how you know it was legit. James Bond travels to Istanbul to check out a lead on a Lektor machine to crack some codes. SPECTRE, of course, set a trap for James Bond and with Tatiana Romanova, who is a fake defector of the Soviet Union. This movie has it all: explosions, shootouts, sexy scenes, and a touch of racism, which is a perfect way to encapsulate the early '60s.Remember to join our Discord for movie nights and further podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Dr. No starts our biggest Watch Til You Can't yet. That's right, we're going to try to watch the entire James Bond series from the start! For those not in the doctor know, we'll be watching until we can't handle them any more. Take bets on what James Bond era that will be!Ethan has seen these movies ages ago when he was a young lad and remembers nothing about them. Mike has only seen a few of the latest Bond movies. Let's see how long we can last. Luckily, Dr. No is one of the better movies, so this franchise starts off on the right foot.Remember to join our Discord for movie nights and further podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Argylle asks the audience an insane question: what if your books about spies could predict the future, so you got kidnapped to write more books about spies before anyone else read them? Argylle, starring Henry Cavill and Bryce Dallas Howard, is a movie about a spy fiction writer who strangely predicts actual events happening in the spy world through her books. It also features Dua Lipa in all of the marketing, but she's barely in the movie! Please don't fall for the hype, the trailer is all her scenes, and then she pulls a Houdini!!

Alright, we've had it too good with movies. It's time to watch Snake on a Plane. The infamous 2006 movie starring Samuel L. Jackson and featuring a lot of CGI snakes. It was one of the first movies edited after the fact to appease what audiences wanted out of the movie. In reality, it may have made the film a lot better!

Ages ago, we were suggested to watch Head, the movie about the hit 60s band The Monkees. What a trippy little movie this is. We learned a lot about what it must have been like to try to become a respectable adult band after being in a band for children. It's a cheeky movie with Jack Nicholson helping make it.

Who is Robbie Williams, besides a monkey (chimp) who does drugs, drinks and sings? Well he made one of the biggest financial flops of 2024 and we decided to watch it. Maybe it's because no one on this pond knows who Robbie Williams is, but this movie is the biopic snubbed for an Oscar. We follow a musician who left a boy band, Take That (5), and tried to be successful on his own. But it wasn't easy getting there.

Women's History Month continues (?!) with Sophie's Choice. A (totally) real person who escaped the horror of the holocaust and now has to deal with one toxic man and one dopey man, while simultaneously navigating the English language.

To finish off our Women's History Month watches, we watch a movie about a figure neither of us knows about: Maria!

Priscilla, wife of Elvis Presley. Still alive to this day. Let's see what her relationship was like to the king of rock. Well it has guns, Graceland, mom issues, control issues, boundary issues, drug issues. Huh, it seems like this relationship may be doomed.

Happy Women's History Month! We watched Jackie in honor of it and will be watching other movies with powerful women with one-name titles throughout the month.

We wrap up the Oscar season with A Complete Unknown, the Bob Dylan biopic! Let's see how Timmy C and our friend James Mangold, who directed some previous podcast movies like Kate and Leopold and Indiana Jonas and the Dial of Destiny, can bring the musical enigma to life. Set when Dylan decided to break out on the scene and go electric, this follows his encounters with various musicians, most notably his relationship with Joan Baez.

I'm Still Here is set in Brazil under the 1970s dictatorship, where a wife must find out what happened to her husband while maintaining a healthy family life.

Conclave shines a light on the process of choosing a new Pope. Just like Oscar voting, it's a mysterious and grueling process full of politicking, even in the house of God. We follow Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) as he tries to run the whole process and keep the entire catholic church from going down a path of bigotry and cruelty.

It's Oscar season baby!! We recorded this before we knew the nominations, but we can bet this movie will be there. For some reason. This is a weird one.

Happy New Year! (Sorry for the audio). 200 Cigarettes is a movie made in the late 90s about the early 80s and it doesn't even really feel like the 80s. Maybe that's Stranger Things poisoning our mind about the 80s, but this movie is just a slog of a film. It was the original Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, or New Year's Eve.

The trailers didn't look promising, as they seemed to have swapped out fun goth for emo goth, but maybe that could work!

This is the last film she starred in, and it's a bit of an odd choice when it's a comedy.

The Final Girls is a meta-commentary of the horror movie genre, specifically the final girl trope. Five unsuspecting filmgoers are sucked into a campy horror movie they're watching. What makes it more complicated is that our protagonist's mom plays one of the characters in the movie. She, of course, has no memory of being her mom; she just wants to get laid at camp!

For our third Bombs Away, we're diving into the somewhat successful The Mummy (2017). This movie performed so poorly for Universal that they ended the Dark Universe franchise. It was the beginning of the universe and the end. The Dark Universe franchise was the MCU but for monsters. But if this movie indicates what a franchise full of classic Universal monsters could have been, it would have been blander than a bowl of oatmeal.The story follows Nick Morton (Tom Cruise), a U.S. Army sergeant and mercenary, who accidentally discovers the tomb of an ancient Egyptian princess, Ahmanet (Sofia Boutella), during a mission in Iraq. Ahmanet, who made a pact with the dark god Set and was mummified alive for her crimes, is awakened and brings with her a malevolent curse. Oh, also, Russell Crowe is there.This movie is somehow based on the 1999 movie The Mummy. You should watch that instead.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-content
