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!

“If the opportunity presents itself, you can always go for the shoe poo.” The panel of peril dash to the bathroom with a glass and a saltshaker, making themselves a wonderful briney drink, before sitting down to watch this week's film Casino Royale (Martin Campbell, 2006). James Bond (Daniel Craig) is just starting out his career as a 00 agent. His first mission is to track down the money being wagered by in-between man Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) and attempt to bankrupt him in a high stakes game of poker at the titular casino. Is Bond's poker face up to the task? Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36mnx8dBbGE ********PLOT SPOILER ALERT******** Bond isn't the only person under pressure to perform as Le Chiffre is under the employ of Mr. White's (Jesper Christensen) shadowy organisation, who introduce the blood weeping bugger to the Lord's Resistance Army whose funds he must gamble and win with. Also! Bond is joined on his mission by Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), an agent of the Treasury who may have a more vested interest in the task than she's letting on ;) What did the panel think of this week's movie?

How is it that a character created over 70 years ago in the aftermath of WW2 is still impacting the world in 2021? Is this Holmes, Poirot, or even Hamlet? Much like the characters mentioned Bond is a classic study of his time – in his case the mid-20 th century. Yet much like the more classical characters there is something about the Ian Fleming creation that pushes beyond the world in which he was created in. Beyond the Cold War, the Space Race, international terrorism, computer hacking – you name it. Bond transcends but WHY?Much like the more literary accomplished Doyle, Christie, and Shakespeare; Fleming wasperfectly suited for his subject and his audience, yet he had a secret weapon that none of those giants mentioned before him had – he had the silver screen and he had one man that would come to dominate the tradition of Bond even more than the creator himself – Cubby.Cubby Broccoli and Albert Saltzman (for several years) were the catalysts in the early daystransforming the character from the pages of Fleming's novels, which were far more traditional in their storytelling style, to the blockbuster industry changing movies we have been watching for almost six decades. Yet as both Fleming and Saltzman exited the Bond landscape through death and business it left one man – Cubby.Cubby was the perfect steward to the Bond legacy and its future – it became a family affair with both his wife and children taking active roles in the execution of each movie….including and especially “No Time To Die'”. So, without Fleming and now without Cubby, who passed over twenty-five years ago in '96, the Broccoli family has been more adept than ever at not just keeping Bond relevant and fresh but somewhat groundbreaking. Seamless transitions from lead actors six times in as many decades, keeping up with the fickle tastes of fans trough “The New Hollywood” of the 60's, the blockbuster model of the 70's & 80's (a model one could argue was born of Bond), and now through the CGI and jump cuts of the 2000's.And yet here we are in 2021 and the movie industry is facing its biggest challenge since the rise of the VCR add in COVID and you have a truly unprecedented challenge that could turn the marquee lights off for good.Fleming, Cubby, Moore, even Connery are all gone in 2021. Gone also are the devastating sexist and somewhat racist troupes that filled the cinematic landscape of the 20 th century – we are embarking on so many new roads one might struggle to find a place for the likes of Bond. Why did Bond matter? Does he matter now? Can THE most iconic womanizer, smoker, drinker, driver, fighter, patriot, and man make it in the woke world we live in? Is Bond going to get canceled by the culture he helped create?Let Us Discuss These Things And More....So Sit Back And Relax Mom & Dad Won't Be Back For At Least

This episode of 'James Bond & Friends' is hosted by James Page with guests Paul Atkinson, Calvin Dyson, and David Leigh.Originally recorded along with Episode 001, we found ourselves descending into general banter about the franchise and the over-arching aspects of how Daniel Craig’s tenure may end and whether Bond 25 is a make or break film. Along the way, we consider watching the films from a different perspective, leaving during the credits, gunbarrel placement, Craig's unfinished business, whipping out a quiche, a budget-breaking third biscuit boy, possible composers and singers, anniversary films, and the disappearance of Colin Salmon. The recording took place on March 8th, 2019 in the USA, UK, Spain, and New Zealand.

You Only Live Twice - “Two-Ply Walls” Summary: Welcome to SPECTRE etc. This is the James Bond podcast where we discuss the ins and the outs of each film. In this episode, we watch as Bond says goodbye to the Bahamas of “Thunderball” and konichiwa to Japan as Roald Dahl’s screenplay for “You Only Live Twice” opens the door for so very many racist undertones. And overtones. * The pre-titles sequence takes place in outer space with reasonable special effects. This has us cautiously (foolishly, as it turns out) optimistic for the blue-screening ahead of us. * We have had enough of the Bond franchise trying to fool us with yet another “Is Bond dead?” sequence. When Bond’s corpse is reanimated and returned to dry land, he heads to a sumo match and tells the first girl he sees that he loves her. * Bond visits Henderson, but our focus is on the real-world practicality of paper walls. How would you hang art on those walls? Or stick up posters? Or maintain a prison system? * Col enjoys the way Bond breaks into a safe, though not probably as much as he enjoys realising that 20 years ago he was close to this filming location. * Bond meets Tiger Tanaka, who divides opinion. Cam is happy to be startled by Tanaka’s secret sorting slide, but Matt thinks this sort of thing is beyond the pale. Meanwhile, Tanaka’s personal train has us all wondering how things would be if everyone had their own train. The bath-house that innuendo built, which is full of Tanaka’s sexiful possessions, turns us into giggling schoolboys. * Bond is checked for weapons at Osato Chemicals, teaching us all a lot about how x-rays work. And then we are off to the docks! Bond is taken captive (briefly) before escaping from the plane he was left sitting in. * Little Nellie joins the team, which leads us to a volcano lair, which leads us to Blofeld! Just when we are getting all excited about Bond getting into the volcano lair, we are forced to sit through 20 wasted minutes of Bond becoming “a Japanese”. * Finally, the film snaps back into action with Bond taking his pig-faced bride to explore Blofeld’s volcano lair! Cam considers finally seeing the face of this supervillain to be the “Blofeld money shot” he has been waiting for. * During the film’s big climax, we get stuck on what seems like an odd criticism for a film - there are just too many cameras. Yet again, Bond finishes his adventure in a boat with a girl - this time though, we get to see Moneypenny cockblocking Bond! Official SPECTRE etc Theory (OffSeT) #5: SPECTRE is the industry leader. Benso has been pushing this idea for a few episodes now, and finally Col is convinced. Whether it is using live humans in their weapon-testing facilities, or issuing agents with cyanide pills, or even leaving enemy combatants in escapable situations; you can be sure that SPECTRE did it first, and MI6 later followed. And of course, keep checking back for a link to our petition to solve road-based traffic jams by giving everyone their own train! Worst Impersonation Trophy: Col does a pretty reliable Connery, and a reasonable Japanese accent, but once Bond “becomes a Japanese”, Col has to combine these accents to have a Scottish inflection on “Arigato” - this just seems a bridge too far for his impressive impersonating skills!

Official SPECTRE etc Theory (OffSeT) #4: Pants on? Research. No pants? Not research. A very important in-house rule is set in stone when Cam declares that anything done online while pantsless is not able to be counted as research. Bad news for Col; good news for Ryan! And of course, keep checking back for a link to our petition to get those jetpacks onto Amazon! Worst Impersonation Trophy: While he was not technically impersonating a character, Col’s attempt to “hum” the way the title song uses elements of the Bond theme was definitely this episode’s worthy WIT winner!
