The power is back in the hands of the renters! In December, LA rent prices dropping to a four-year low, and there’s an increased housing supply to boot. Mark recalls the time he tried to book a Las Vegas hotel room, and soon realized he was dealing with an AI reservation booker. Apparently, dashing actor Pierce Brosnan was spotted by James Bond producers when he starred in the 1980s detective series “Remington Steele,” who then approached him to play 007. A miniature donkey named Dolly Parton escaped from her farm in Michigan! Fortunately, a community-wide search brought beloved Dolly the donkey back to safety. A deal has been made in DC to avoid another government shutdown related to ICE funding. Mark once took part in a telethon with a guest who was a clairvoyant. She told him she saw a specific dollar amount surrounding him. That number never eventuated. Not yet. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to another episode of The Rizzuto Show, the daily comedy show that proves nostalgia is just disappointment with better branding.Today's episode kicks off with the downfall of childhood “investments,” as Magic: The Gathering collectors accuse Hasbro of flooding the market and tanking card values — which immediately sends the crew spiraling into baseball card trauma. Remember when a Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card was supposed to pay for college, a house, and early retirement? Yeah… about that.From there, things take a turn toward the supernatural when we ask the important question: can a rock band curse an NBA team? After an arena employee blames a satanic-looking concert for the Orlando Magic's losing streak, we dive headfirst into modern Satanic Panic, Ghost's spooky theatrics, and whether teams should sage their arenas instead of practicing defense.Then it's off to Westeros, where the new Game of Thrones spinoff raises serious questions — like where everyone goes to the bathroom, why HBO is obsessed with realism in the weirdest ways, and whether giant fake dongs are now part of the network's brand strategy. Things escalate quickly as the crew debates gratuitous nudity, legacy characters, and which original GoT character would theoretically win a very unnecessary competition.The back half of this daily comedy show delivers a full round of Crap on Celebrities, including music collabs, Super Bowl ads released way too early, outrageous ticket prices, Dirty Dancing sequels, James Bond movies that aged like milk, and a Ken doll promo video that is genuinely unsettling. Add birthdays, pop culture hot takes, and classic Rizz Show derailments, and you've got another beautifully unhinged episode.If you like your pop culture commentary sarcastic, your nostalgia roasted, and your comedy slightly concerned for humanity — welcome home.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MOSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mirror, Mirror: The Villains Who Reflect James Bond explores one of the most revealing ideas in the entire Bond franchise. James Bond villains are not true opposites of Bond. They are reflections. They are versions of Bond where a single restraint disappears. In this episode of Cracking the Code of Spy Movies, Dan and Tom examine some of Bond's greatest adversaries as mirrors rather than monsters. These villains share Bond's training, intelligence, and appetite for risk. What separates them is not skill. It is restraint. It is purpose. It is accountability. Using a clear "mirror framework," the episode shows how nearly every major Bond villain follows the same pattern. They share Bond's competence. They understand power and leverage. But they cross a moral line Bond refuses to cross. When the moment comes to stop, the villain continues. From Goldfinger, the Bond who breaks rules without limits, to Blofeld, the Bond who answers to no one, each antagonist reflects a path Bond could take. Largo reveals what Bond becomes without empathy. Scaramanga shows Bond without purpose, killing for identity instead of mission. Franz Sanchez exposes Bond's anger when loyalty and revenge replace duty. Silva mirrors Bond's trauma when emotional control collapses. Le Chiffre represents Bond before psychological armor hardens. The episode also dives deep into the importance of M as Bond's moral anchor. M represents structure, oversight, and restraint. Without M, Bond risks becoming indistinguishable from the villains he hunts. The Bond–M relationship transforms action into moral drama. It gives meaning to Bond's violence. It defines the ethical limits behind the famous license to kill. Drawing from Ian Fleming's own words, film dialogue, and character analysis across decades of Bond movies, this episode argues that Bond is not heroic because he is unstoppable. He is heroic because he stops. Mirror, Mirror: The Villains Who Reflect James Bond reframes the franchise through psychology, ethics, and character design. It explains why Bond villains matter. They ask the same question every time. Why not take the power for yourself? Bond's answer defines everything. Perfect for fans of James Bond, spy movies, film analysis, and character studies, this episode reveals why the mirror is the most dangerous weapon in Bond's world. Tell us what you think about this Mirror Mirror concept with Bond's villains Do you agree with us that James Bond is a mirror of his villains? Do you have other examples where we see this mirroring in the series? Let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you think of this episode. Just drop us a note at info@spymovienavigator.com. The more we hear from you, the better the show will surely be! We'll give you a shout-out in a future episode!

What makes James Bond so irresistibly masculine?Why has he become the universal archetype of male attraction, confidence, and power across generations?In this episode, we break down the psychology behind James Bond's masculinity and reveal the 3 core laws that make him magnetic to women and respected by men.You'll learn:- Why respect creates attraction far more than being “nice”- The psychological reason emotional groundedness makes a man powerful- How fearlessness and leadership change how women perceive you- Why men who seek validation lose attraction without realizing it- How James Bond embodies these traits naturally and why it worksMost men are taught the wrong playbook when it comes to dating, masculinity, and relationships. This video flips that script and shows you what actually drives female attraction at a psychological level.
As noted by the recent Tobies, awards season continues in full flight, so it's no surprise to have The Oscars drop their nominations just in time for Matt and Julian to break them down. 'Sinners' taking home 16 noms sets an Oscars record and (more importantly) validates Julian's recent Tobie pick. Plus, the guys return to a more traditional news format with headlines about James Bond, Game of Thrones, He-Man and more! Finally, the guys look into their crystal balls, gazing into the future, to make entertainment-based predictions for the year 2026. How will the WB/Netflix deal play out? Will Star Wars have a hit with 'The Mandalorian and Grogu'? Will Nolan's 'The Odyssey' be as big as 'Oppenheimer'? Only the ToB hosts can tell you! (No future lotto tickets or sports almanacs unfortunately)

Si tout le monde est persuadé que l'Écossais fut le premier à endosser le smoking de 007 en 1962 dans "James Bond contre Docteur No", il est, en fait, le deuxième, car 8 ans plus tôt un autre acteur avait déjà interprété l'espion au service secret de sa Majesté... Dans "Ah Ouais ?", Florian Gazan répond en une minute chrono à toutes les questions essentielles, existentielles, parfois complètement absurdes, qui vous traversent la tête.

Episode 189 - You Only Live Twice (1967) "I must say, you have a lot of energy for a dead man, Mister Bond." Get ready for the ultimate 1960s spy spectacle! You Only Live Twice (1967) isn't just a movie; it is a massive, colourful adventure that takes Sean Connery's James Bond to the vibrant landscapes of Japan for one of his most ambitious missions ever. From the opening moments, the film radiates a distinct, larger-than-life energy that defined the "blockbuster" era of the franchise. The film is a masterclass in escapism. Bond trades his usual Aston Martin for "Little Nellie," a heavily armed, pocket-sized autogyro that leads to one of the most thrilling and inventive aerial dogfights in cinema history. The action is fast, fun, and filled with the classic 007 swagger that fans adore. However, the true showstopper is the scale of the villainy. We finally see the face of Bond's arch-nemesis, Ernst Stavro Blofeld (complete with the iconic white cat), hiding out in what is arguably the greatest movie set ever built: a massive, hollowed-out volcano rocket base! The climax is pure adrenaline, featuring a literal army of ninjas repelling down into the volcano to stop World War III. With Nancy Sinatra's dreamy, beautiful title track setting the mood and Ken Adam's breathtaking set designs stealing the show, You Only Live Twice is a triumph of imagination. It is campy, explosive, and wildly entertaining—Bond at his absolute biggest and boldest.

Sean Connery just walking through the airport and collecting his luggage is the coolest human being you've ever seen. Bond dusting his attache case with talcum powder and putting a hair between his doors is exhilarating. Quarrel and Honey Rider are all-time great Pals of Bond. Unfortunately, the titular Doctor No, M.D., is kind of a let-down after all the exciting build-up. Still, the first Bond film is one of the all-time best.

Sean Connery's James Bond gets absolutely unhinged in You Only Live Twice — and we were not ready for it.In this episode, we revisit one of the most bizarre, chaotic, and “they'd never make this today” Bond films ever made. From infamous Sean Connery quotes, to questionable 60s attitudes, to space butthole ships, ninjas, sumo wrestling, and full-on cultural whiplash, this movie is a wild ride from start to finish.We break down:The most INSANE moments in classic James BondWhy this movie feels like licking a batteryHow 60s Bond fantasy clashes hard with modern audiencesSean Connery's most controversial on-screen momentsWhy You Only Live Twice is still weirdly entertainingIf you love movie podcasts, bad-but-fun films, or chaotic film commentary, this one's for you.
Kendra Erika, an innovative artist known for her unique fusion of jazz, dance, and EDM, is set to release her album "License to Thrill" on February 13th, reimagining iconic Bond songs with her distinctive sound. Overcoming personal obstacles, such as being born tone deaf, and growing musically under the guidance of a German operatic coach, Kendra infuses her work with resilience and a touch of the James Bond elegance. Her perspective on the album's release is centered around honoring divine vision and unfolding a journey through the decades of Bond, with carefully chosen tracks that promise further volumes. The album's debut showcase in Las Vegas on February 15th marks a pivotal moment in her career, as she channels the grace of artists like Kylie Minogue and Katie Lang, while fans are encouraged to support her work for a tangible connection with her evocative music.00:09:39) License to Thrill: Reimagining Bond Songs(00:11:13) Decades of Bond-Inspired Musical Journey Release(00:13:58) Bond-Themed Album Showcase with Kendra Erika(00:20:29) "Surrender": A Hidden Gem by Katie Lang(00:26:34) Classy and Timeless Style Emulation(00:33:22) Supporting Artists Thr

Welcome back to the SLMan Podcast! In the first episode of 2026, Harvey James is joined by SLMan contributors Frankie Foster and Tunde Ogunsina to chat cold-weather outfits, the cultural moments they can't stop thinking about and what they've been loving lately – from Frankie's unexpected drawing era to Tunde's latest TV obsessions and an elite January indulgence: a cheese subscription. The conversation then turns to the headlines, including Bruno Mars' upcoming UK tour, swirling James Bond rumours (hello, Callum Turner and Theo James) and a Liverpool versus Arsenal moment that sparked serious debate. The team also share what's on their fashion wish lists before Harvey drops the biggest news of all – the arrival of baby Casper (stay tuned for some genuinely useful hospital tips). Finally, the team tackle some listener dilemmas, from phone snooping in relationships to whether it's ever a good idea to say yes to a stag do with near-strangers.

Gezielte Sabotageakte, Hacking und mehr Befugnisse für Massenüberwachung: So will die Bundesregierung den Bundesnachrichtendienst offenbar zu einem mächtigen Geheimdienst ausbauen. In dieser 11KM-Folge erzählt Florian Flade von der Recherchekooperation NDR, WDR und Süddeutscher Zeitung, wie sich die deutsche Spionagearbeit verändern würde, wenn der Entwurf so umgesetzt würde - auch angesichts der hybriden Bedrohung durch Russland. Werden BND-Spione bald zu einer Art James Bond?

On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, the panel breaks down a massive new rumor surrounding Avengers: Doomsday — with reports claiming the action in Marvel's next event film could eclipse everything the MCU has ever done before. Is this hype justified, or is Marvel once again setting expectations impossibly high? We also discuss Hulk reportedly sitting out Avengers: Doomsday, following comments from Mark Ruffalo, and what that could mean for the overall roster and story direction. On the DC side, new details and an image from Man of Tomorrow spark conversation around Maxima and how this project may shape the future of the DCU. Plus, casting rumors heat up around who will become the next James Bond, with reports pointing to a mid-2026 decision, and Kathleen Kennedy doubles down on the idea that Indiana Jones will never truly be finished. Big franchises, bold claims, and major implications across Marvel, DC, and beyond — let's get into it.

f you're a James Bond fan, you won't want to miss our latest episode: 20 Things You Missed in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. In this deep‑dive discussion, we uncover 20 Things You Missed in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE that even longtime Bond aficionados often overlook. From continuity errors to clever background details, cultural insights, filming quirks, and subtle storytelling decisions, this episode shines a spotlight on the hidden gems tucked inside the fifth Eon Productions Bond adventure. Hosted by Dan and Tom of Cracking the Code of Spy Movies, this episode explores everything from mispronunciations in NASA communications to Bond's surprising use of nicknames, mysterious wardrobe changes, and the unexpectedly impressive continuity work involving Bond's shoes and those hard‑to‑miss spats. You'll hear about set design details at Henderson's apartment, incorrectly repaired desk statues, and the symbolic use of the color orange to hint at Helga Brandt's dangerous duality. We also break down one of the most memorable sequences in the film: Little Nellie. From the autogyro's weapons to the number of helicopters chasing Bond, we uncover continuity oddities, filming inconsistencies, and blink‑and‑you‑miss‑them production shortcuts. The episode also dives into space capsule reflections, art replicas inside Blofeld's volcano lair, and the strange logic gaps surrounding Helga Brandt, Osato, and Bond's supposed "death." Dan and Tom bring context, humor, and historical insights to each moment—from the real‑life sumo wrestler and Samoan grappler who appear on screen, to the realistic but deadly phosgene gas used near the Ama fishing village. And of course, we explore the infamous volcano base itself. From improbable gadgets Bond suddenly possesses, to the dramatic (and scientifically questionable) destruction of the SPECTRE spacecraft. Plus, stay tuned for bonus observations on ninja entrances, frightened cats, references to Goldfinger, the Toyota 2000 GT convertibles made especially for the film, and clever audio design choices hidden throughout the final act. Whether you've seen the movie once or a hundred times, you'll walk away with brand‑new insights and a deeper appreciation for this iconic Bond classic. Join us for a fun, fast‑paced, detail‑packed episode that proves you really do only live twice—but you might need far more viewings to catch everything in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. Tell us what you think about our look at 20 Things You Missed In YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE How many of these did you miss? What did we miss from the movie? And, importantly, how many guys do you see in the car at the beginning of the chase when Bond leaves Osato's office? Let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you think of this episode. Just drop us a note at info@spymovienavigator.com.

Two very different films in this latest episode of film history podcast Film Stories. Firstly, it's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, an infamously difficult production that saw director Gareth Edwards fashion a war tale in the Star Wars universe - and then reshoots become Hollywood trade press fodder. Coming off the back of two James Bond films meanwhile, director Lewis Gilbert reckoned he might be able to get interest in a film take on hit play Educating Rita back in the early 1980s. He got a short, sharp shock - but a dinner party offered him a very welcome stroke a luck. Stories of both films are told in this episode.

The History Book Club is staying with the 20th century as we discuss the V-Force, the aircraft best exemplified by the Vulcan which was the plane that played a huge role in the James Bond film, Thunderball. It was a remarkably beautiful engineering feat, that remains an iconic vision of where British design and science was at in the 1950s. It was capable of flying vast distances where it was intended to deliver its payload, a nuclear bomb. Perhaps its most well-known mission was a bombing run during the Falklands War in 1982. Jonathan Glancey joins the club – he's an aircraft enthusiast, writer on architecture as well as being a thoroughly interesting chap with a lovely voice so we talk about British produced bombers and fighters produced post-war.

James Cameron reunited with Arnold Schwarzenegger and asked a simple question: who would James Bond be if he got home and had to answer to his wife? The result cost $100 million and featured a Harrier jet attack on the Florida Keys. Luke, Westy, and Matt dive into the film that proved Cameron could blow stuff up and make you care about the people running from the explosions. From Arnold learning to tango to the stunt work that nearly killed people (multiple times), we're telling the story behind the last great action blockbuster of its era.

It had a budget of just $1 million, a lead actor wearing a toupee, and the baddie in the first draft of the script was a monkey. But the first James Bond film, ‘Dr. No', which began shooting in Jamaica on 16th January, 1962, kicked off a phenomenally successful franchise that's still a staple of cinema today. Its star, Sean Connery, had been picked out by producers after his appearance in a Disney production, but was marketed as a former lorry driver with little acting experience. Concerned that Connery lacked the sophistication of Bond's background, director Terence Young took him on a tour of swish casinos, posh members clubs and his Savile Row tailors. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how Connery came to improvise one of the movie's most iconic moments; explain why Ian Fleming was first dismissive, then delighted by his casting; and trace the origins of the 007 formula that endures through all of Cubby Broccoli's subsequent productions… Further Reading: • The Bond bunch: the failed contenders for coveted role (The Independent, 2006): https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/the-bond-bunch-the-failed-contenders-for-coveted-role-423454.html • ‘The Making of DR.

Krystina dives into the newest Hunger Games installment, Sunrise on the Reaping—a gripping prequel that reveals Haymitch's dark backstory. The crew debates why this dystopian world still hooks us, and even teases the upcoming movie adaptation dropping later this year. From there, the conversation shifts to Vegas' mind-bending Sphere, where rumors have turned into reality: Metallica is 90% locked in for a 2027 residency! The gang imagines what a Metallica show without pyro would look like and shares hilarious personal stories about getting dizzy (and even throwing up!) inside the Sphere's immersive visuals. And just when you think it can't get any wilder, Lenny Kravitz joins the James Bond universe—as a charismatic pirate king named Bama in the upcoming 007: First Light video game. The hosts geek out over how gaming is becoming as cinematic as Hollywood blockbusters.

We all have our own favorite Robert Redford movie. But what's Redford's most prescient film about today's America? His Seventies trilogy about American politics — The Candidate, Three Days of the Condor and All the President's Men — are all, in their own profound ways, lasting meditations on the United States. But of the three, it might be Sydney Pollack's Three Days of the Condor (1975) which has the eeriest relevance to contemporary America. For James Grady, whose equally classic 1974 thriller Six Days of the Condor inspired the movie, Three Days of the Condor speaks to both the all-encompassing paranoia and isolation of our age. It's the anti-James Bond film for our anti-James Bond age. "For a movie that was made fifty years ago to unearth the emotions we felt then, and the emotions we're feeling now — that's extraordinary," James Grady says. Yes. After a half century, the Condor has landed. Keen On America is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

This episode begins the only way we know how: absolute chaos. We veer from wills, tits, and Stranger Things before eventually remembering we're meant to be talking about a film. If you're new here, that's the show.The film in question is Guy Ritchie's The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare — a swaggering WWII caper based on a real black-ops unit hand-picked by Churchill and Ian Fleming. Set in 1941, it imagines the birth of modern special forces: not rules, not honour, just twenty feral specialists sent in to break things and terrify the enemy.We talk about:The shift from “civilised” warfare to winning at any costHenry Cavill as a proto–James Bond, recruited straight out of prisonThe opening “Swedish fishermen” massacre as a mission statementCartoon-level violence, moustaches, one-liners and Guy Ritchie excessThe joy of watching war movies ditch decorum for chaosWhy SAS: Rogue Heroes makes the perfect companion pieceIt's not subtle. It's not serious. It's loud, slick, and gleefully ridiculous — a war movie powered by bravado and bad behaviour.If you like explosions, rule-breaking, and men with absolutely no fear of death, this episode (and this film) are for you.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

License to Change – The Future of Spy Movies explores the spy genre and why it now faces its greatest challenge yet. In this in-depth episode from Cracking the Code of Spy Movies, Dan and Tom examine whether traditional espionage storytelling can survive in a world defined by surveillance, data, and artificial intelligence. For more than sixty years, spy movies have taught audiences what espionage is supposed to look like: tailored tuxedos, exotic locations, ingenious gadgets, and clear-cut heroes and villains. From Dr. No through decades of James Bond dominance, spy films reassured audiences that control was possible in an unstable world. But as License to Change – The Future of Spy Movies makes clear, that fantasy no longer reflects reality. This episode traces the genre back to its Cold War roots, when fear, secrecy, and global tension shaped early spy cinema. It contrasts the glamorous escapism of Bond with darker, more realistic counterpoints like The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, The Ipcress File, and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. The discussion then moves to the seismic shift caused by The Bourne Identity, which introduced vulnerability, moral ambiguity, and institutional distrust into mainstream spy films. From there, the focus turns to modern espionage itself. Today's intelligence battles are fought with algorithms, metadata, drones, and predictive systems rather than pistols and car chases. The episode asks hard questions about how spy movies can dramatize invisible threats, system-based villains, and a world where privacy may no longer exist. It also explores how artificial intelligence, automated decision-making, and situational ethics are reshaping both real intelligence work and its cinematic portrayal. Finally, Dan and Tom look ahead. Who gets to be a spy in the future? What happens when access matters more than authority? And can James Bond remain relevant in an era where secrecy is nearly impossible? They argue that the genre's future will be darker, smarter, and more emotionally complex—less about winning clean victories and more about living with the consequences. This episode is essential listening for fans of James Bond, spy thrillers, modern cinema, and anyone curious about where espionage storytelling is headed next.

While DC has just discovered the greatness that is Hollow Knight, he now understands the hype behind the sequel, Silk Song, which has just been released. Another game that seems to have Darius excited is the new James Bond game, which heavily draws cues from the Hitman series. The game seems to have a good mixture of action, stealth, and problem-solving as you make your way through each mission.
