In this episode of Drive-In Double Feature Podcast, Nathan and Ryan explore one of the most celebrated James Bond films, "Skyfall" (2012). Directed by Sam Mendes, this installment sees Daniel Craig's Bond returning to action to protect MI6 from a former agent turned villain, Raoul Silva, portrayed by Javier Bardem. The hosts discuss the film's thrilling action sequences, emotional depth, and stunning cinematography by Roger Deakins. They also dive into how "Skyfall" delves deeper into Bond's past, making it one of the most introspective and character-driven films in the franchise. Join them for a breakdown of why "Skyfall" is hailed as a modern Bond classic.
Zero and The Wiz Say MISSION ACCOMPLISHED for SkyfallThere are a lot of good elements about Skyfall, Sam Mendes' crack at the British Secret Agent.The action is excellent with great stunts and exciting scenes. On top of that, the film is stunning in spots, filled with great sets and lots of color.Another great element is Javier Bardem as Raoul Silva. His mix of smarm, charm and ruthlessness makes him an incredibly entertaining villain.But if there's one slight issue, it's that there isn't more depth on Bond. In fact, this film seems to retrofit Craig's Bond into the tried and true Bond formula.But hey, if you didn't like Casino Royale because it didn't stick to the formula, then Skyfall would be the movie that would rectify that.
We're back with another Bond Redux and this time it's the third of the Daniel Craig series in 'Skyfall'.Lucy Galore and the boys discuss the origins of the protagonist Raoul Silva, destruction of heritage listed homes in Scotland and the sexual proclivities of one James Bond.There's is a little swearing in this one and for something new, it's not Lucy.Also, Andrew has an admission and an apology to offer.Tim's just here for the drinks.Keep the Negligent Discharge coming to Licence to Podcast on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram or email us: hello@licencetopodcast.com
Regret is unprofessional. It's time for Tom & Joe to check out the most successful Bond film of all time, Skyfall. After Bond is assumed dead during a mission, MI6 is attacked causing him to come out of retirement to stop former agent Raoul Silva, who wants revenge against M. Sam Mendes directs the film to give us a more stylish take on Bond which also adds in classic Bond elements not yet featured in the Craig era. The balance of old and new paid off with Skyfall receiving critical acclaim and a box office gross of over $1.1 billion. As it's over 10 years old now, does it still hold up or will Tom & Joe find it all rather quaint? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Let the SKY FAAAAAALLLLLL as Adele's rounded tones welcome us to the 50th year of Bond onscreen and the 23rd Bond film, Skyfall. Nat & Stu are joined by Brisbane journalist and fellow Bond tragic Alison Sandy to pick over the now old & busted bones of Britain's premier secret agent, who apparently is nearing the scrapheap despite only just getting his Double-O status. The trio get down and dirty with Xavier Bardem's flamboyant villain Raoul Silva, discuss M as the ultimate Bond girl, and Natalie gets REALLY ANGRY about the whole "let's keep Moneypenny's identity a secret and then reveal it at the very end in an incredibly clunky way" thing. And fair enough too, because it's VERY FRUSTRATING. Enjoy!
After Quantum of Solace took some of the wind out of the newly rebooted Bond franchise's sails, the pressure was on for Skyfall to deliver a return-to-form just in time for the series' 50th anniversary. To say the film was a success would be a massive understatement. Skyfall remains the highest grossing James Bond movie to date and many critics heralded it as one of the top-tier installments. A lot of that praise was directed at Javier Bardem's portrayal of Raoul Silva - a villain carefully constructed to stand apart from most of 007's previous foes. On this episode, we examine those differences and why a certain segment of Bond fandom was resistant to them. We also discuss the franchise at large, the Bond/M relationship, how the next film undermined so much of what worked here, and where we'd like to see the series go once Daniel Craig vacates the role.

Maciej and Tobias celebrate Luc Besson's *4th(?) greatest film Valerian and The City of A Thousand Planets. Much disagreement is had over the film's quality, so of course this episode needed a brief retrospective of director Luc Besson's greatest films, a lengthy tangent into the career of cinematographer-turned director Barry Sonnenfeld, and Mark Wahlberg makes his triumphant return to muse on his thoughts toward director Paul W.S. Anderson's body of work. NOTE: we refer to actor Raoul Julia as Raoul Silva in this episode because we're uninformed hacks, sorry. *According to the TobiasScale
节目组:The Screen Age 荧屏时代节目名称: 007:spectre 幽灵党E: Hi, dear audience. Nice to see you again. Welcome back to the Screen Age. I'm Elisabeth.P:I'm Pearl. Py: Wish you have a nice week day, I'm Pyro.插曲:SkyfallE: So, it's another work in the 007 series.P: Exactly, it's the 24th work since it first released in 1962.E: In this one, the director Sam Mendes chose more attracting countries to make his movie. Such as Mexico, Austria, Morocco, UK and Italy.P: Sounds great. So what does this work talk about?E:Bond is back. He is in Mexico pursuing a hit man. He kills the man but not after making a scene. When he returns to England his boss M is not happy because C is trying to shut down the 00 network P: Wait a moment please. But who is C?E: He is a government man.P: Ok, well, what happened next?M: C is trying to shut down the 00 network and replace it with a new surveillance system which will essentially put an end to privacy. M tells Bond to stand down and he has Q inject him with a tracking device. Y: Q? You said Mr Q who is acted by Ben Whishaw?M: Yes. Do you know more about this character?Y: Branch Q, The Armorer Division of HMSS, has long been a position of pride for its head, which goes by the codename of Q. It is within this division that the cutting edge of British defense technology is developed and refined for the purposes of espionage.P: How intelligent he is! So, what happened to Bond next?E: Bond reveals to Moneypenny why he was In Mexico. He asks her to help him by getting some info on certain people. He asks Q to make sure no one knows he left the UK and went to Italy to talk to the hit man's wife. After talking to her he goes to meeting of an organization and when he's discovered they try to kill him but he escapes. M: And then Moneypenny tells him who the person he is looking for is and it turns out to be someone he knows. He goes to him and asks him to tell him about the organization. P: Sounds exciting. So does Bond made it?Y: He initially refuses till Bond realized he is in fear for his daughter so Bond promises to protect her. P: So it's must be another love story.E: I'm sorry to tell you it's may disappoint you. He tries to do but she doesn't want him around. But when someone tries to grab her he saves her. Finally she agrees to help him.插曲:200 BopPy: Unoriginal I know, but whether you like Daniel Craig as Bond or not, you can't deny he has been an integral part of the series' highest points. B: Exactly. Following the magnificent Skyfall, Spectre had some huge shoes to fill, and for the most part, it delivers exactly what you'd want. An attention-grabbing, tense opening fight scene, a lovely title sequence (whether the song is good is debatable), and an elaborate sinister plot surrounding James Bond that puts him up against his inner demons more than ever. Does it surpass Casino Royale or Skyfall? J: I don't think so, but as far as reintroducing the villainous organization spectre into Bond canon after more than 40 years, the film hits the nail on the head, pulls it back out, then slams it in even harder.Py: But spectre is revealed to have been affiliated with some of Bond's biggest threats - Mr. White, Le Chiffre, Raoul Silva - all under the control of one puppeteer, the head of spectre and one of the most iconic villains of all time, Ernst Stavro Blofeld. P: It isn't much of a spoiler, as speculation was rampant ever since the first trailer (and hell, when the name of the movie was released). What's important is its execution, and Spectre leaves breadcrumbs for you to follow all the way through the belly of the beast. F: For not only is Bond under SPECTRE's crosshairs, but MI6 itself is experiencing a merger led by Max Denbeigh who wants to eliminate the 00 division and focus solely on global intelligence. It's apparent early on that Blofeld has eyes everywhere.Py: while he works primarily in the shadows, he poses a looming threat to Bond because of his sheer cunning and a past secret that unravels itself when the two finally meet.插曲:Time will tellPy: Many parts of the film feel like a throwback to classic Bond. The icy environments, the car chase and gadgetry, the use of a massive threatening henchman, a train fight that is heavily reminiscent of From Russia With Love, and of course the modern birthing of Bond's greatest adversary. P: In my opinion, the acting all around is fantastic, with Craig continuing to impress as the suave womanizing secret agent. Thomas Newman turns in another wonderful musical score. But perhaps the most impressive feature is Sam Mendes' directing. The shots in this movie are absolutely gorgeous - the action scenes are incredible to watch and easy to follow, the landscapes are fresh and vibrant, and even the simplest of scenes - Bond and Blofeld walking up to each other for the first time - are quietly introspective yet palpably tense. E: Tension lingers throughout every moment of Spectre even when not much is happening, and the suspense is high enough to hold your interest for the full 2-and-a-half hours.P: Spectre is not perfect. Much of what happens narratively is predictable, and a few lines of dialogue don't go over too well, but that's just being nitpicky. E: What you want in a James Bond movie is over-the-top action surrounding the world's greatest spy who's up against unbeatable odds thanks to a brilliant charismatic villain, and this is precisely what Spectre delivers in spades. Py: Daniel Craig may or may not return as Bond, and if he doesn't, this movie would serve as a perfect send-off. P: But as the series constantly reminds us, "James Bond will return...," and Spectre is just another chapter in the immense story of everybody's favorite super spy.E: So, my dear audiences. It's time to say goodbye.P: Wish you enjoy our introduction and opinions on 007 Spectre.Py: 最后感谢制作王泽华。E:See you next time. Bye.P, Py: Bye.结束曲:Pacific Rim节目监制:高佳宁播音:刘思媛 王敏 刘逸超 赛碧乐 寿婧瑶 李梓彤 杨旸 李昂编辑:刘思媛制作:王泽华
We're back to conclude our Bond villain coverage this week with Part 2 of our Bond baddie special. This time we're going from For Your Eyes Only's Aristotle Kristatos all the way through to Raoul Silva, then concluding with rating every single villain with our trademarked 3-tier system. As usual we talk about the usual SPECTRE news (with an airtight "skip ahead" spoiler warning system), run the usual gauntlet of trivia, quotes and music Qs and discuss who would win in a fight between Rosa Klebb and Irma Bunt. Don't miss this week's edition of James Bond Radio: The Villains of Bond, Part 2.
Wherein we discuss more villain types. We cover the newest Bond villain, Raoul Silva, as well as those you love to hate, like Nurse Ratched, Dolores Umbridge, Randall Flagg, and Hans Landa. We talk about the over-the-top or flamboyant villains, like Dr. Evil, Zorg, and The Joker, villains that straddle several types, like Handsome Jack and GLADoS, and even delve into non-living villains with Skynet and HAL 9000. Elsewhere, we tangent into storytelling in video games and the difficulty of writing a good villain. Theme music by Latché Swing. Handsome Jack dialogue property of Gearbox Software.
‘Skyfall’ directed by the super talented Sam Mendes gives us a very different James Bond. Yes, he’s still the charismatic, super macho male that loves sex, hot women, hot cars, gambling and kicking butt. But this time around, he’s also vulnerable, slightly worn out and much more human. And that’s what makes this film one of the best of the Bond’s. Don’t want to spoil the fun, so I’ll just talk about the plot with broad strokes. The film begins in Instabul where Bond (Daniel Craig) finds fellow MI6 agent Ronson, critically wounded and the hard drive of a laptop missing. Bond goes after the thief, hitman, Patrice (Ola Rapace) and we have the standard exciting car chase, motorbike chase and finally the two men wind up fighting on the top of a moving train. At the same time, fellow spy, Eve (Naomie Harris) who has the bad guy in the cross hairs is ordered by M (Judi Dench) to take the shot. Eve doesn’t want to for fear of hitting Bond. But M is adamant…TAKE THE SHOT. She does…hits Bond who falls into a raging river. That’s right folks, Bond is dead…Well not really, but everyone thinks he is. And James likes it like that. Why shouldn’t he. He’s on an island somewhere in bed with a hot babe. However when he finds out that there’s been an explosion at headquarters, he decides it’s time for him to resurface. And it’s a good thing too. Seems the Chairman of the Intelligence and Security Committee, Gareth Mallory (Ralph Fiennes) has informed M that the stolen computer disc contained the list of every undercover NATO agent embeded in terrorist organizations around the world and they are being killed.. He tells her that she showed poor judgement in handling the situation and it’s time for her to retire. Yeah, like that’s going to happen. ‘Skyfall’ is basically a film about revenge. And no one does revenge better than Javier Bardem. He’s absolutely fantastic as Raoul Silva the man determined to bring down M and her organization. Rounding out the cast is Albert Finney, Ben Whishaw as Q and Berenice Marloe. ‘Skyfall’ which opens Friday November 9, 2012, written by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan is an intelligent, exciting and in the end, surprising film that won’t disappoint fans or those new to the genre. I loved this film and gave it 4 1/2 bagels out of 5. Check out our video to see John’s bagel rating and for more of our thoughts.
