Podcast appearances and mentions of Sean Connery

Comedian and Jimmy Kimmel Live! writer Bryan Cook (@bryancooking) returns to the show for a technical difficulty-laden episode in which Jesse and Andy talk with Matt while he's on a cruise ship, covering topics including comedy on a boat, candlepin bowling, a new interstellar object, crypto failures, Anthropic's Claude having an identity crisis, the Sean Connery classic Zardoz, an AI band with way too many Spotify plays, Matt's upcoming standup shows and Andy's upcoming Colorado tour with Warsaw Poland Brothers.

In this episode of the show, probably one of the shortest on record, we continue our Richard Lester conversations by talking about one of his period epics, Robin and Marian. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about how on paper this movie works as an intellectual subversion of the swashbuckling genre and how in reality it only gets to buckle a few swashes. We also talk about Richard Lester's interest in period filmmaking and whether his dual interest in absurdity adds to the tonal dissonance permeating the movie, Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn attempting to generate some chemistry and more.

Watch on YouTube I've officially completed my journey through all 25 Eon-produced James Bond films, and now it's time to rank them all from worst to best! From Sean Connery's iconic debut in Dr. No, to Daniel Craig's emotional finale in No Time To Die, I break down my personal rankings of every official 007 film. This video is a companion piece to my Drinks and a Movie Podcast, where I recently finished a full James Bond series—watching all the Eon films for the first time and discussing them in-depth. Along the way, I paired the experience with some classic spirits, including a pour of Old Grand-Dad 16-Year-Old Bourbon, a nod to the Ian Fleming novels, where Bond occasionally sips this lesser-known American whiskey.Whether you're a lifelong Bond fan or new to the franchise, I invite you to join me as I rank all the James Bond movies, share my thoughts on each Bond actor, and reflect on the franchise's evolution over six decades. 

Griffin Dunne was a Hollywood insider long before he became the successful actor he is today – in fact, he might not have survived childhood if Sean Connery hadn't pulled him from the bottom of a pool. But Griffin's story, captured in his memoir The Friday Afternoon Club, is much more than a catalog of celebrity encounters. In this episode, Griffin opens up about his parents' divorce, landing his breakout role in An American Werewolf in London, the sudden tragedy that changed his family forever, and the music that has accompanied a life lived in the spotlight's glare and shadow. Here are his songs: Volver Volver by Vicente Fernandez Last Train to Clarksville by The Monkees Nature's Way by Spirit Symphony No. 5: IV. Adagietto.

Tựa đề chữ vàng in trên bìa sách toàn một màu đen. Chỉ cần liếc nhìn qua, giới độc giả ghiền truyện trinh thám đều nhận ra ngay bộ sưu tập « Série Noire » của nhà xuất bản Pháp Gallimard. Năm 2025 đánh dấu đúng 80 năm ngày ra đời của tủ sách nổi tiếng Série Noire, mà bạn đọc ở Pháp thường gọi nôm na là « tiểu thuyết đen ».   Tủ sách « Série Noire » ra đời vào mùa hè năm 1945, theo đề xuất của dịch giả Marcel Duhamel. Ngoài đời là bạn thân của nhà văn Jacques Prévert và thi hào Raymond Queneau, ông Duhamel đã thuyết phục nhà xuất bản Gallimard cho ra mắt một bộ sưu tập hoàn toàn mới thời hậu chiến, để giới thiệu với bạn đọc ở Pháp những tiểu thuyết trinh thám tiêu biểu của Anh-Mỹ qua việc dịch các tác giả trứ danh như Peter Cheyney, Raymond Chandler hay Don Tracy …  Mãi đến 3 năm sau (1948), theo sáng kiến của giám đốc điều hành nhà xuất bản Claude Gallimard, bộ sưu tập này mới bắt đầu phát triển mạnh, tăng số lượng bản in cũng như các tựa sách phát hành mỗi năm. Nhờ vào sự hưởng ứng của bạn đọc, tủ truyện « Série Noire » đã thành công nhanh chóng. Hơn một ngàn đầu sách được xuất bản trong 2 thập niên đầu tiên, mỗi năm sách đều bán được hơn cả triệu bản.  Thành công của thể loại văn học này lúc đầu luôn gắn liền với trào lưu phim trinh thám của Mỹ, còn được gọi là « film noir » chủ yếu nói về các vụ án và tội phạm, thế giới băng đảng và xã hội đen. Trong thời hậu chiến (1945-1952) các rạp chiếu phim Pháp chủ yếu khai thác phim trinh thám do Hollywood sản xuất từ những năm trước, nhưng vì đang có chiến tranh, khán giả Pháp chưa có dịp xem.  Kể từ năm 1953 trở đi, làng phim Pháp mới bắt đầu khai thác mạnh mẽ dòng phim này. Trả lời phỏng vấn RFI ban tiếng Pháp, nhà phê bình kiêm sử gia Alban Cerisier cho biết, ngay từ những năm 1950, tủ sách « Série Noire » đã gợi hứng cho các đạo diễn Pháp thực hiện nhiều bản phóng tác, đưa các bộ tiểu thuyết đen lên màn ảnh rộng, tạo ra một sự hợp tác chặt chẽ, vẫn còn tồn tại cho đến tận ngày nay : « Đúng vậy, đó là một mối quan hệ tuyệt vời, góp phần làm nên tên tuổi và uy tín của bộ sưu tập Série Noire. Mối quan hệ giữa tủ sách trinh thám và màn ảnh lớn đã tồn tại trong nhiều thập niên qua. Khi mới được thành lập, tủ sách này chủ yếu quảng bá các tiểu thuyết “đen” và dòng phim trinh thám theo kiểu Mỹ. Trong giai đoạn này, phải kể đến phim The Maltese Falcon (Chim ưng Malta) với Humphrey Bogart trong vai chính, This gun for hire (Kẻ giết mướn) với Alan Ladd và Veronica Lake. Những thập niên sau đó, có The Unseen (Sát thủ giấu mặt) và nhất là The Big Sleep (Giấc ngủ ngàn thu), dựa theo tiểu thuyết của nhà văn Raymond Chandler qua hai phiên bản, với Humphrey Bogart, cũng như Robert Mitchum trong vai chính.  Thời hậu chiến, làng phim Pháp chủ yếu khai thác phim Mỹ. Năm 1953 đánh dấu một cột mốc quan trọng, khi điện ảnh Pháp trở nên tự lập hơn, bắt đầu chuyển thể các bộ tiểu thuyết thành phim trinh thám. Đó là trường hợp của bộ phim "Touchez pas au grisbi" (tạm dịch Coi chừng chết … vì tiền) của đạo diễn Pháp Jacques Becker. Đây là phiên bản điện ảnh của quyển tiểu thuyết đen cùng tên của Albert Simonin. Bộ phim đánh dấu ngày trở lại của Jean Gabin sau nhiều năm vắng bóng và sự xuất hiện lần đầu tiên của Lino Ventura trên màn ảnh lớn. Trong mắt giới phê bình, "Touchez pas au grisbi” là tác phẩm khởi đầu cho trào lưu quay các bộ phim noir theo kiểu Pháp, hầu hết các tên tuổi lớn sau này đều tham gia như Jeanne Moreau, Jean-Paul Belmondo hay Alain Delon … »  Nhìn lại tủ truyện « Série Noire », trong số cả chục ngàn quyển tiểu thuyết được phát hành, đã có hơn 500 đầu sách đã được chuyển thể lên màn ảnh. Có thể nói là mỗi thập niên đều có những bộ phim ăn khách, phóng tác từ tiểu thuyết trinh thám. Theo sử gia Alban Cerisier, những thập niên sau 1950, đã cho ra đời nhiều tác phẩm quan trọng của những tên tuổi hàng đầu trong làng điện ảnh :  « Kể từ sau những năm 1950, dòng phim trinh thám hình sự đã có một số thay đổi về mặt đề tài để phán ánh những biến chuyển xã hội, nội dung phim cũng mang nhiều tính thời sự hơn. Một trong những gương mặt quan trọng trong giai đoạn này chính là ngôi sao màn bạc Pháp Alain Delon. Ông quan tâm nhiều đến thể loại hình sự cũng như dòng phim đen. Trong vai trò của một nhà sản xuất (nhiều hơn là diễn viên), Alain Delon đã giúp phổ biến thêm nhiều quyển tiểu thuyết qua phim ảnh. Trong giai đoạn này có thể nhắc đến “Mort d'un pourri” (Cái chết của một kẻ hám lợi), tiểu thuyết của Raf Vallet từng được Georges Lautner chuyển thể thành phim trinh thám với Alain Delon trong vai chính.  Thật ra, kể từ những năm 1965 trở đi, dòng phim noir không còn đơn thuần nói về thế giới của những kẻ lừa đảo, những tên côn đồ đâm thuê chém mướn … Những hình tượng ấy dần dần những chỗ lại cho những nhân vật phức tạp hơn về mặt tâm lý, qua tài viết kịch bản và dựng phim của làn sóng đạo diễn với phong cách mới như Truffaut, Godard, hay Melville. Đạo diễn François Truffaut đã tặng cho Jeanne Moreau một vai diễn để đời khi chuyển thể tiểu thuyết “The Bride wore black” (Áo tang ngày cưới) của William Irish, kể lại kế hoạch trả thù của một cô dâu, sau khi chứng kiến cảnh chồng mình bị sát hại ngay trong đám cưới.  Đạo diễn Melville tặng cho Jean Paul Belmondo một vai diễn xuất sắc trong phim "Le Doulos". Trong tiếng lóng, từ này hiểu theo nghĩa đen là cái mũ phớt, còn hiểu theo nghĩa bóng là kẻ chỉ điểm. Sự xuất hiện của Melville, Lautner, hay Truffaut (rất ngưỡng mộ đạo diễn Hitchcock) đã mang đến một luồng sinh khí mới cho thể loại phim trình thám, khi họ phản ánh các chủ đề mang tính thời sự xã hội, đi sâu hơn vào các đề tài tham nhũng, khi mọi giới, nhất là những người có quyền, càng dễ bị đồng tiền chi phối ».  Sau các đề tài chính trị xã hội, tủ truyện Série Noire cũng từng gặt hái khá nhiều thành công khi khai thác mạch truyện gián điệp. Trong một thời gian dài, nhà xuất bản Gallimard được quyền khai thác tủ sách James Bond (sau này mới đến phiên nhà xuất bản Robert Laffon), có lẽ cũng vì thế nhiều đầu sách của điệp viên 007 đã được đăng trong bộ sưu tập tiểu thuyết đen Série Noire. Nhà phê bình Alvan Cerisier giải thích về các trào lưu làm phim : « Các tác giả cũng như dịch giả của tủ truyện Série Noire sống với thời đại của họ. Dĩ nhiên là bộ truyện của Ian Fleming đã có nhiều bản phóng tác sang tiếng Pháp. Về mặt phiên bản điện ảnh, có hai tựa phim James Bond mà các bạn đọc tiếng Pháp tìm thấy trong tủ sách Série Noire. Đó là bộ phim « Diamonds are forever » (Điệp vụ kim cương) với Sean Connery, và sau đó là « Moonraker » (Căn cứ không gian) với Roger Moore. Có thể nói là thành công của James Bond đánh dấu thời kỳ huy hoàng của tiểu thuyết cũng như phim gián điệp. Ngoài ra, phim ảnh có tác động tích cực trong việc phổ biến sách truyện. Tính trung bình, một quyển tiểu thuyết trinh thám được xem là rất ăn khách khi bán được khoảng 100.000 bản. Đến khi được chuyển thể lên màn ảnh lớn, bộ phim có khả năng thu hút hàng triệu lượt người xem và trong số này sẽ có nhiều khán giả tìm đọc tiểu thuyết gốc. Mối quan hệ chặt chẽ ấy vẫn tồn tại cho đến ngày nay.  Việc chuyển thể sách thành kịch bản phim, nhiều hay ít, là tùy theo nhu cầu, chứ chưa bao giờ dừng lại. Chẳng hạn như phim « Zulu » với Orlando Bloom và Forest Whitaker trong vai chính, dựa theo tiểu thuyết của Caryl Férey. Đạo diễn Guillermo del Toro từng thử sức với phim trinh thám khi chuyển thể lên màn ảnh quyển tiểu thuyết đen « Nightmare Alley » (Con hẻm ác mộng) với Bradley Cooper trong vai chính. Ngoài ra, còn phải kể đến dòng truyện trinh thám đến từ vùng đất lạnh như trường hợp của nhà văn người Na Uy JoNesbo từng thành công với « The Snowman » (Sát nhân Người tuyết) với Michael Fassbender. Trong số các nhân vật nổi tiếng thích đọc Série Noire tại Pháp, có các nhà văn Jacques Prévert, Jean Giono, hay nghệ sĩ điêu khắc Giacometti. Có thể nói là chừng nào vẫn còn nhiều bạn đọc ghiền tiểu thuyết trinh thám, thì dòng phim hồi hộp hình sự vẫn còn nhiều kịch bản hay để dựng thành phim chiếu rạp cũng như phim truyền hình ».

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we sometimes talk about movie stars! We sometimes talk about movie directors! Today, we talk about both! Specifically, the B-Sides of the Mission: Impossible franchise. It's just Conor and I today folks, waxing poetic on Tom Cruise's legendary franchise and the B-Sides that we were inspired to discuss. We've chosen one for each of the Mission movies. It's also July 3rd on the day this episode is published, so happy 63rd birthday Tom Cruise! For the first Mission: Impossible, we speak on The Avengers from 1998. An adaptation of the popular British television series from the ‘60s, director Jeremiah S. Chechik's film was dismantled in post-production, slashed to ribbons following bad test screenings. The final product runs well under ninety minutes and is hard to understand. It sits on the other end of blockbusters in the ‘90s adapted from hit televisions from yesteryear. We also discuss the last five films Sean Connery made (animated film Sir Billi not included), as well as the ones he turned down. For Mission: Impossible II, we chose another John Woo American motion picture: Paycheck, starring Ben Affleck and The Avengers star Uma Thurman. This is a true B-Side, and the beginning of Affleck's now-infamous lost half-decade as a fledgling movie star. For Mission: Impossible III, we return to television inspiration. In honor of director J.J. Abrams, Conor and I go long on No Man's Land, one of the first produced screenwriting credits of Dick Wolf, who would go on to create the, ahem, Law & Order universe of shows. This Charlie Sheen/ D.B Sweeney vehicle walked so Point Break and The Fast and the Furious could run. There's chatter about David Ayer, that scene from Fire in the Sky, and how Charlie Sheen is always better when he plays the villain. For Ghost Protocol, we debate the Brad Bird B-Side Tomorrowland. We discuss libertarianism (for like two minutes) and the misbegotten message of the George Clooney blockbuster. For Rogue Nation we honor the Hitchcock homage of the opening and discuss one of Hitch's most underrated films: Topaz. Truly a can't-miss picture, which spurns a talk about the ideal Hitchcock leading man. For Fallout, there's Michael Mann's Blackhat. We appreciate the still underseen hacker epic, and make the claim that Chris Hemsworth is the best movie star of the original Avengers (Marvel this time, not British) not named Robert Downey Jr. For Dead Reckoning Part 1, Conor goes long on Hayao Miyazaki's Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro, from the little yellow car to the action to the animation. And, finally, for The Final Reckoning, we celebrate John Sturges' Ice Station Zebra. The second act of the final film in the series is a reimagining of sorts of the 1968 submarine epic, with way more stunts and underwater photography. There's also mention of the Billy Crystal 1997 Oscars opening, this lovely promo for the Albert Brooks movie Mother (ok it's not mentioned I just love it), and the Oliver Stone episode of the Light the Fuse podcast.

Kristin is shocked to learn that Sean Connery has been dead since 2020 (yes, really).They dive into wild headlines including an alligator escape attempt from "Alcatraz," a girl who fell overboard on a Disney Cruise (and what you would do in that moment), and ask the uncomfortable question: Could you save a child that wasn't yours?Plus, Kristin tries to understand the bizarre world of ASMR porn. This one's got everything — nostalgia, confusion, moral dilemmas, and Kristin's consistently bad pop culture awareness.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The boys discuss the "bait and switch" and Sean Connery stops by to explain that the true Jewish homeland is in Scotland.

Marnie, encarnada por Tippi Hedren, es una mujer mentirosa y una ladrona compulsiva que utiliza su trabajo como secretaria para robar. Debido a un profundo trauma se vuelve cleptómana, y en su camino se cruza el personaje de Mark Rutland, interpretado por Sean Connery. Su relación es compleja y perturbadora: él se enamora profundamente de ella y se marca el objetivo de descubrir su secreto. Para ello construye un chantaje emocional al que la somete, no con el objetivo de destruirla sino de comprenderla.

We don't know about you guys but we could use some silly escapism. This month, the manatees are checking out 1996's Dragonheart! Directed by Rob Cohen and starring Dennis Quaid and the voice of Sean Connery, Dragonheart was one of our hosts' favorite movies when he was a child. But does it hold up to an adult audience? (Of course not.) But it does prove particularly rich springboard for ranting about Dungeons and Dragons, Patrick Stewart, the differences between accents and speech impediments, the differences between house flipping and scalping (hint: there are none), and recent peer-pressured forays into the Romantasy genre of smut novels (have you all heard about that one yet?). It's been so long since we talked that we ramble on for about six hours. Might get more than one night out of this one!

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesIt's a big week for Marvel news! First up, Jon Bernthal has joined the cast of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, as his take on The Punisher makes the transition from Marvel Television to the big screen. He joins newcomer Sadie Sink, alongside Zendaya and Jacob Batalon who were also confirmed to be returning as MJ and Ned, respectively. Elsewhere, on Wednesday Disney announced that Marvel Studios is scheduled to release an untitled film slated for December 15, 2028, which if holds true, would be the studio's fourth theatrical offering for that year. In Variety's article on said possible fourth 2028 Marvel Studios film, the writer suggested that Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier has gone from being in talks, to officially tapped as the director for the upcoming X-Men film. Fresh details on the recently cast Clayface film from DC Studios co-head James Gunn said the film would be R-rated during his appearance on the DC Studios Showcase Official Podcast. "It's just a great horror movie that is a great, smart, fun horror movie which is in a genre that I happen to love, which is body horror," he said; continuing with, "It's rated R… It's not anything now because the MPA has to watch it, but it's most likely rated R. It's pretty intense." In other DCU news, box office tracking for Superman via the National Research Group (NRG) has the film projected to open between $125 and  $145 million domestically, with more conservative estimates ranging between $90 and $125 million. The fledgling DCU certainly seems to be living up to its Gods and Monsters thematic moniker. It was a story of highs and lows at the box office this weekend, with the newcomers 28 Years Later and Pixar's Elio unable to dethrone Dreamworks' live action How To Train Your Dragon remake, which passed $358 million at the global box office in just two weeks. Although both new films bowed to the reigning champ, the narrative is far more devastating for Pixar and Elio; despite positive critical reviews, the celebrated animation studio's latest feature struggled to muster even a meager $35 million globally; a record low and troubling sign concerning the performance, or lack thereof, for original films at Pixar. Danny Boyles' legacy horror sequel 28 Years Later fared far better, debuting to $30 million both domestically and internationally, for a $60 million total haulMarvel Comics has announced Spider-Man '94, a four issue limited comic run that will close the cliffhanger left by Spider-Man The Animated Series from its final episode in 1998. The series is written by long-time Spidey veteran and a writer on the original animated series, J.M. DeMatteis, with art by Jim Towe. Russell Crowe is boarding at Amazon MGM Studios and United Artists' Highlander in the Ramirez mentor role made famous by Sean Connery in the original 1986 movie. He joins Henry Cavill who is playing the lead role. AMC has released a teaser trailer for season 3 of Walking Dead spin off Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon and announced that the series will premiere on September 7. James Bobin, director of The Muppets, is in talks to helm Netflix's Dragon's Lair, based on the classic 1980s arcade game, per The Hollywood Reporter. Ryan Reynolds, originally set to star, but no longer, is producing alongside Roy Lee, Trevor Engelson, and game creators Don Bluth, Gary Goldman, and Jon Pomeroy.Warner Bros.

Un año “perruno” equivale a 7 años humanos. ¿Y un año de un coche, a cuantos años humanos equivale? Vamos a reflexionar sobre este punto, porque hay coches que envejecen bien… y otros que envejecen mal. Como las personas. ¿Cuáles son los “secretos” para la eterna juventud? Te contamos los secretos por lo que algunos coches envejecen bien… para las personas, mejor busca otro canal. Os propongo un juego. ¡Nos vamos a divertir! Ya sabéis que di versos estudios concluyen que el equivalente de la edad entre un, pero de tamaño medio y de un humano, seria de 7 a 1. Un, pero de la raza pastor alemán de 10 años seria como una persona humana alemana, pastor o no, de 70 años. ¿Nos atrevemos a hacer un equivalente de la edad coche-persona? Se estima que la vida media de un coche es de unos 15 años. La esperanza de vida en España, donde vivimos un montón, es de 83 años. Esto promediando hombres y mujeres, que viven más…no entro en los motivos. Así que matemáticamente la equivalencia entre la edad de los coches y los humanos es de 5,5 a 1. Pero creo que hay un factor corrector porque el deterior de un coche y creo que es más justo 2,5 a 1. Un coche de 10 años tendría 30… ¿Os parece más justo? Os voy a traer ejemplos de coches que se mantienen jóvenes. El Nissan 350 Z va a cumplir 55 años… más o menos la edad de Maribel Verdú. El Honda S2000 se acerca a los 65… más o menos como George Clooney. El Dodge Viper es ya un “madurita de buen ver” con sus casi 75 años… he pedido a Rodrigo que ponga una foto de Sean Connery con 75 años. El Mercedes de la generación W124 seria centenario… mira las imágenes… y es un crack, incomparable con ninguna persona… Ahora que muchos acusan a los coches modernos de tener la llamada Obsolescencia programada, estos son algunos ejemplos de coches que tiene “un pacto con el Diablo”. La pregunta es ¿cuál es su secreto? Y en rigurosa exclusiva te lo vamos a contar en Garaje Hermético. 1. Plazos de renovación. 2. La trampa de la moda. 3. Innovación: Adelantarte a tu tiempo. 4. Exclusividad: Lo minoritario se cotiza. 5. Fiabilidad: Condición “sine qua non”. 6. La competición: El deporte rejuvenece. 7. Imagen “de marca” potente. 8. Ayuda del fabricante… para cuidar tu coche. 9. El efecto “saga”. 10. Factor “seducción”. Conclusión. Seguro que hay más aspectos que he olvidado, porque la “eterna juventud” está lleno de ellos. Pero para eso estáis vosotros y la caja de comentarios. Coche del día. Voy a escoger un coche con 87 años “humanos” pero que seguro que os va a encantar: El Mercedes 500E de 1990, el tope de la gama y que se presentó en el Salón de París de ese año. Mercedes-Benz unió sus fuerzas a Porsche para la puesta a punto de motor y chasis. Exteriormente se distinguía por unos pasos de rueda ligeramente ensanchados pero lo más importante no se veía, el motor V8 de 4.973 cm3, 326 CV de potencia… un “maduro” en muy buena forma.

We cover everything shown during the PlayStation State of Play, including the new take on Bond's origin, the gameplay mechanics that echo Hitman's best elements, and how this could be a testing ground for a reboot of the Bond franchise. Plus, we draw parallels to the success of Cal Kestis in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and what a video game-first strategy might mean for James Bond's future across media.Timestamps and Topics:00:00:00 Introduction and Announcement of 007: First Light00:00:07 Bond's Origin Story: 26-Year-Old Agent from the Royal Navy00:00:12 Lennie James Rumored as Bond's Mentor Figure00:00:25 Gameplay Variety: Choose Your Bond Style00:00:31 Hitman Influence and IO Interactive's Approach00:00:34 Standalone Story: Not Based on Any Movie00:00:43 Testing Ground for Bond Reboot via Gaming00:00:55 Video Game Characters Leading to Bigger Franchises00:01:05 Coming to All Major Platforms, Including Switch 2Key Takeaways:007: First Light is a full origin story, showing Bond before his iconic status.IO Interactive brings their Hitman expertise, offering flexible mission playstyles.The game's Bond isn't tied to any actor or movie continuity.Lennie James may be featured in a key role, possibly as Bond's handler.This could serve as a soft launchpad for a new Bond continuity.The game will be available on all major platforms, including Switch 2.Similar to how Cal Kestis won over Star Wars fans, this game could build strong support for a new Bond.Quotes:"This is going to be an origin story for Bond… playing him as a 26-year-old agent just recruited into MI6.""You could be the Pierce Brosnan sneaky Bond, the Daniel Craig punch-you-in-the-face Bond, or the Sean Connery charm-your-way-in Bond.""To me, the Star Wars I want most is the one with Cal Kestis.

This week I'm recommending four crime films from the 1970s and early 80s. Each one centers on a planned job, bank heists, robberies, break-ins, and none of them go smoothly. The tone across these films is lean, serious, and focused on the people involved more than the action. There's a lot of attention to detail, and they hold up well.Charley Varrick (1973) Directed by Don Siegel. Walter Matthau plays a bank robber who ends up in the crosshairs of something bigger than expected. Matthau had just done more comedic work at the time, so this role stood out. Joe Don Baker plays a contract killer hired to clean things up. Lalo Schifrin did the score, which is sharp and suits the pace. It was based on the novel The Looters by John Reese.The Anderson Tapes (1971)Directed by Sidney Lumet. Sean Connery is a thief planning to rob an entire apartment building. The film stands out for how it handles surveillance. Almost every major character is being watched by police, by private groups, by government agencies. This was Christopher Walken's first film. The music is by Quincy Jones, and it's more experimental than you'd expect.Thief (1981) Michael Mann's first feature film. James Caan plays a professional safecracker who wants to get out after one last job. Mann used real tools and brought in actual former thieves to advise on the technical side. The film has a cold, exact feel. The soundtrack is by Tangerine Dream. It's shot in Chicago and uses the city well without overdoing it.The Getaway (1972) Directed by Sam Peckinpah. Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw star as a couple on the run after a robbery. The script was written by Walter Hill and based on a novel by Jim Thompson. The film was a big success when it came out and mixes action with slower moments of tension. McQueen did many of his own stunts. It's one of the more polished crime films of its time.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. This is a public episode.

Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British movies ...with just a hint of professionalism. And a huge welcome back to Hal, contributer of wonderful reviews at the official Talking Pictures Podcast as well as host of his very own show Couple Indemnity. Hold onto your snorkels! In Thunderball, suave spy James Bond jets off to the sun-drenched Bahamas. Why the holiday? Because the villainous, eye-patch-wearing Largo of SPECTRE has pinched two atomic bombs and is holding the world to ransom! 007 must navigate treacherous waters, both literally and figuratively, charming allies like the stunning Domino while dodging Largo's aquatic thugs. Get ready for thrilling underwater battles, cool gadgets, and Bond proving that even a nuclear crisis can't cramp his impeccable style. It's a high-stakes game of global poker, and Bond's all-in! Thunderball(1965) In 1965's Thunderball, James Bond, played with maximum cool by Sean Connery, finds himself in a pickle when the notoriously nasty organization SPECTRE, specifically their number two main man, the delightfully devious and eye-patch-sporting Emilio Largo, makes off with two atomic bombs. Their asking price for not reducing a major city to a fine powder? A cool £100 million in diamonds.  Naturally, Her Majesty's Secret Service dispatches their best man, 007, who, after a rather explosive pre-title sequence involving a man in drag and a handy jetpack, tracks the villainy to the vibrant, sun-drenched Bahamas. Bond's mission quickly turns into a tropical tango of espionage. He crosses paths with the alluring Domino, who just happens to be Largo's mistress, and the fiery SPECTRE operative Fiona Volpe, who prefers lethal motorcycles to leisurely strolls. Armed with Q's latest toys – including gadgets perfect for underwater shenanigans – Bond dives headfirst into Largo's world, which is, conveniently, based around a superyacht and a rather shark-infested estate. The film culminates in an absolutely bonkers underwater battle royale, proving that fisticuffs are just as effective below the waves as they are on dry land. With the fate of a major city hanging in the balance, Bond and his newfound allies engage in a fin-tastic clash against Largo's scuba-equipped forces. Will Bond recover the bombs, get the girl, and deliver a perfect one-liner before the credits roll? You know the answer, but the fun is in watching him do it with effortless charm and a never-ending supply of air tanks!  "My dear girl, don't flatter yourself. What I did this evening was for King and country. You don't think it gave me any pleasure, do you?"   This and previous episodes can be found everywhere you download your podcasts Follow us on Twitter @rbritanniapod  Follow Couple Indemnity @coupleindemnity   Thanks for listening   Scott and Steven

Heeeeeeeere we are! Born to be kings! We're talking immortals, sword fighting, decapitations, Queen! It's 1986's cult classic, Highlander, an absolute mess of a movie that somehow, against all odds, has amassed a worldwide following of super fans. It's a little bit of column A and a little bit of column B, just a mishmash of nerdy tropes thrown together and somehow working together in a way that made every twelve year old boy a megafan.Christopher Lambert plays a brooding Scottish guy who must fight a crazy evil heavy metal black knight while Sean Connery chews scenery. It's all sword fighting all the time and a soundtrack provided by Queen that is easily as memorable as the entire movie. Russell Mulcahy is out here putting his music video filmmaking skills to work on a stylish action adventure that endures as an unstoppable cult movie item that Bryan and Dave are at a loss to explain.Join the Bring Me The Axe Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/snkxuxzJ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support Bring Me The Axe! on Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/bringmetheaxepod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Bring Me The Axe merch here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.bonfire.com/store/bring-me-the-axe-podcast/⁠⁠

In the seventh installment of our exclusive eight-part series with World Golf Hall of Fame legend Hale Irwin, we fast forward to the next chapter of his remarkable career—his unforgettable run on the PGA TOUR Champions. Hale reflects on turning 50 in 1995 and stepping into senior golf with the same fire and precision that defined his prime. In his own voice, he recounts celebrating his milestone birthday at a Wendy's after a rain-delayed Memorial Tournament—and quickly pivoting to victory just weeks later.Hale dives into his Champions Tour success, including his staggering 45 wins, highlighted by 11 straight seasons with multiple victories and a record-setting nine-win season in 1997. He shares the story behind his putting grip change at Walla Walla that led to a year-and-a-half of brilliance on the greens, and how rivals like Gil Morgan pushed him to reach new heights.We revisit Irwin's seven senior majors, including his dominant U.S. Senior Open wins and a 12-shot runaway at the PGA Senior Championship. He shares compelling stories of strategy, mental resilience, and even golfing with Sean Connery in celebrity events. Hale speaks candidly about how golf evolved with age—from burning ambition to deep appreciation—and how competition remained his driving force.With insights into the camaraderie of the Champions Tour and the lasting impact of players like Bruce Devlin and David Graham, Hale paints a vivid picture of a time when golf wasn't just a game—it was a second life. For fans of golf history and timeless storytelling, this is a masterclass from one of the game's greatest.Subscribe and listen as we approach the grand finale in Episode 8 of FORE the Good of the Game.Give Bruce & Mike some feedback via Text.Support the showFollow our show and/or leave a review/rating on: Our Website https://www.forethegoodofthegame.com/reviews/new/ Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fore-the-good-of-the-game/id1562581853 Spotify Podcasts https://open.spotify.com/show/0XSuVGjwQg6bm78COkIhZO?si=b4c9d47ea8b24b2d About "FORE the Good of the Game” is a golf podcast featuring interviews with World Golf Hall of Fame members, winners of major championships and other people of influence in and around the game of golf.
