    On Episode 143 of The Film ‘89 Podcast it's that time of year again. Towards the end of every year since 2022, Film ‘89 has celebrated the 60th anniversary of a James Bond film. In 2022 we started with Dr. No, in 2023 we covered From Russia With Love and last year we covered Goldfinger. Now Skye and one of the greatest film poster artists working in the business today, Tony Stella, return to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the fourth James Bond film, Thunderball, which had its world premiere in Tokyo, Japan on December 9th 1965. Thunderball came out at the very peak of Bondmania. Sean Connery was approaching mega star status and the books and films were as popular as they would ever be. Made on a budget that was more than the combined budgets of the previous three films, Thunderball was a hugely ambitious film with complex underwater action sequences the likes of which audiences had never seen before and it would go on to become the most successful Bond film ever, and based on ticket sales alone, it still is. So get on your wetsuit, pick up your spear-gun and join Skye and Tony as they take the deep dive on what they feel is one of the most underrated of all James Bond films.

    Compounded Retatrutide? What the Judge Said

    On The Pen: The Weekly Dose

    Retatrutide is years away from FDA approval and yet the fight over access, price, control of this medication is already well underway. That's what this podcast is going to be about today. There's well over a hundred thousand people by my estimates who are already on some form of this medication today. And that should tell you enough about how disruptive this molecule is and will be. It is a game changer among game changer. We've been talking about it for three years here at On The Pen, well before any of your favorite gym bros were talking about Retatrutide. We were talking about Reta, who tried Retatrutide here at On The Pen. And that's because we identified this triple agonist as a game changer among game changers. So This is going to be a very Retatrutide heavy episode, and so I hope you'll join us and stick with us if this is a topic you enjoy, because I think this is really going to effectively lay the groundwork for what accessibility to this medication will look like. So let's get into it. Welcome to the On The Pen Podcast with your host, Dave Knapp. Welcome to the On The Pen, the weekly dose podcast. This is our weekly roundup in incretin memetic news. And frankly, there's no news that is bigger than Reta-Trutide news. Just find me any news that is bigger than the data that we got on Reta-Trutide. Now, we already did a video about the Triumph Phase II clinical trials that we got in osteoarthritis of the knee. You can go back and check out that video if you'd like more data. So we're not gonna super... rehash the data. We'll go over at a high level what the data showed us. We're not going to go over how the medicine works, because by now we all know that it's the triple agonist, right? If terzapatide was a dual agonist, GLP-GIP, Retatrutide is the triple agonist that adds to it a glucagon component, which is absolutely just shredding, shredding liver fat. It is absolutely revving up people's metabolism and showing a tremendous amount of weight loss. So let's get into what the weight loss looked like in this first trial, because there are longer obesity trials where, where the primary outcome is the weight loss this was again a specific trial in measuring pain reduction in folks with osteoarthritis of the knee but check out these numbers these are placebo adjusted meaning it's taking the two percent out that people lost on placebo but looking at these numbers Folks on one milligram over forty eight weeks lost seventeen percent. They bumped up to four milligrams. Those folks lost twenty two percent. So right there at the lowest dose, you're already reaching the efficacy of today's drugs that are on the market, like triseptide and semaglutide in their various forms. If you bumped up to eight milligrams, you saw twenty four percent placebo adjusted weight loss and at twelve milligrams, twenty six point four percent weight loss. Adding back in that two percent of the placebo that those on placebo loss, that's twenty eight point four percent weight loss in these forty eight weeks at the highest dose. When you adjust for some of the more real world outcomes, you kind of ding the numbers a little bit based upon people who quit the drug, et cetera. Those numbers look more like a twenty percent weight loss and twenty three point seven percent weight loss at the highest dose. But even then, you're still seeing a drug that is better than the current drugs that are on the market. around forty eight percent of patients on Retatrutide lost greater than twenty five percent. And then if you were at that twelve twelve milligram dose, that highest dose patients lost fifty nine percent of patients lost more than twenty five percent of their body weight. There was a subset that lost thirty percent of their body weight and some even over thirty five percent of their body weight on Retatrutide. So the lower doses compete with today's best drugs and the upper doses are entering into bariatric surgery level weight loss. And that's putting the whole obesity system on notice and probably a lot of surgeons nervous because typical body weight loss was something like the street sleeve gastrectomy. For example, it's about eighteen to twenty five percent body weight. The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass twenty five to thirty five percent weight loss or the duodenal switch thirty to forty percent weight loss. So the upper doses of Ritutrutide overlap with sleeve and bypass outcomes without any surgery. It's incredible. It is a game changer among game changer. It is the new benchmark in obesity medicine. And there's actually more data, like I said, landing in later twenty twenty six. The longer duration will historically, if history is a marker, equal more weight loss than we even see here at this forty eight weeks. We have an interview that will be airing later this week on our channel and on our podcast with our friend Mimi from Australia who just wrapped up her clinical trial on Retatrutide. They ended it like ten weeks early on her, which was a huge bummer to her. So we're going to hear from her because she had to end abruptly. We're going to hear her story, an incredible story. She's one of those folks that got up that thirty five percent body weight loss in the time that she was on Retatrutide. So, this is just showing you that these drugs are not simply an alternative to bariatric surgery. We are approaching a point in time where these are on par with bariatric surgery, and as people are on this Reta-Trutide trial, you see that these numbers aren't plateauing either. So we will see stronger weight loss numbers the longer that these folks are on this trial. And I think you'll see some of those numbers in that population of folks on the higher doses eclipse maybe even some of what we see with some of these bariatric surgeries. the real story that i think is taking shape here is not in how powerful Retatrutide is because we've literally been expecting or anticipating this kind of data for more than three years at on the pin we've been talking about this and i think that's sort of reflected in the fact that you didn't see this massive spike in eli lilly stock wall street was expecting this as well Um, so it was on par, I think with expectations, but the expectations are astronomical compared to previous options that were available to patients and all the innovation in the world. All of these drugs, we talked at last week about WV, E double Oh seven, the James Bond of weight loss that targets fat, not only targets fat loss, but it also targets the promotion of building of, of lean muscle mass. We're talking about an insane future in obesity medicine. But none of it means anything if people can't access it. And that's really where we are today in terms of ensuring that there's going to be an option for everyone. And that's sort of what I want to get into today, because Lilly wants Retatrutide to be classified as a biologic, so not a traditional small molecule drug like you've seen every other incretin and nutrient-stimulated hormone-treating obesity on the market to date. They're trying to get this classified as a biologic. Now, we talked about this before on the podcast. That matters in three major ways. It affects the exclusivity length of time that a pharmaceutical company has on a drug. That goes from, I believe, five years of market exclusivity to twelve. It affects compounding rules because biologics cannot be compounded. And then that gives the pharmaceutical companies a tremendous amount of pricing power in the marketplace, because essentially there's no competition and there's no competition for a long time. But this whole argument about getting this classified as a biologic is not about safety. It's about protection and we're going to get into it. So let's explain this here. This is why Retatrutide really is not a biologic arguably. So biologics are large proteins. There are hundreds of or even thousands of amino acids grown in living cells that are sensitive to tiny manufacturing changes. Retatrutide is a short chain peptide. It's chemically synthesized and it is below the traditional biological size thresholds when it comes to how those things are defined. We'll just leave it at that. So even though it acts like a biologic in the body, it's made like a drug. It's made like a small molecule drug. And if it's treated as a drug, they get, like I said, five years of market exclusivity. Now, really a lot of confusion around what this means, but essentially the first five years of the life of a drug, the patent can be challenged for a number of reasons. We've seen patent challenges right now are going on in the courts for both semaglutide and terzepatide. But these companies are guaranteed that five years of market exclusivity, no matter how those patent lawsuits shake out. That five years jumps to twelve years with the biologic. So ultimately, there's no biosimilars that are allowed during that twelve year window. Again, with terzapatidin and semaglutide, it's five years. They could lose their market exclusivity within five years of the release of the patent. twelve years with a biologic. So if they lose their patent challenges on Trezabitide, they still have some time left with market exclusivity for the drug. They likely will not lose those, but that jumps to twelve years. And I think the most important thing to understand about the reclassification of Reta-Trutide to a biologic would mean that, 503A and 503B pharmacies are effectively locked out of compounding this medication, 503Bs would have some latitude arguably, but they would face extreme barriers. Routine compounding becomes legally and technically restricted because biological status doesn't slow compounding down. It actually shuts the door or almost completely shuts the door. Biologics not only would allow Lilly to have longer market exclusivity, no compounding, but it would allow them to command a higher price in the marketplace because A, they get this designation and there's an assumption when they bring this to market that they're harder to manufacture, that they're harder to copy, that there are fewer negotiating alternatives for payers. They can command a higher price with the insurance companies, and the price pressure stays muted for much longer because, again, you don't have those pressures of compounding. You don't have the pressures externally from lawsuits that could end your market exclusivity in that first five years of the drug's existence. So there's just a lot of price pressure upwards on a biologic compared to a normal small molecule drug. And when there's no credible alternative or backup option, which to Retatrutide, there wouldn't be, it'd be the first drug that has bariatric surgery level results. The prices won't come down. They'll command a massive price and the prices won't come down. So let's talk about where this currently stands because ultimately the Eli Lilly went to the FDA. We've been covering this for well over a year, maybe close to two years now, a year and a half at least. Lily went to the FDA, they said, we want this classified as a biologic, here are the reasons why. The FDA initially said, no, we're not gonna do that. So Lily challenged that decision in court. So the point that we're at today is the court told the FDA to reconsider and better explain itself So the first no given to the FDA to Lilly didn't stick. The courts looked at it and they said, you need a better, you need to reconsider your decision and you need to explain your decision better to Lilly. So ultimately we're sitting now at the point where the court has made its decision that the FDA has to go back and now we await basically what the FDA has to say on this. But if this thing is classified as a biologic, that would be a massive massive loss for patients. Now, again, we're, we're focusing on the accessibility of this drug into the future. And, and I think that this is an important conversation to have. One of the interesting points that I have to bring into the conversation is the fact that I got to sit in on a, on a closed session question and answer with the media. I didn't get to answer or, excuse me, excuse me, ask a question at this time, but shortly after the most favored nations announcement, with eli lilly and the trump administration in the oval office that day there was a press briefing that i was invited to dave ricks was asked by max bayer reporter of endpoints who we've interviewed here on this very podcast and he was asked was Retatrutide included in the most favored nations discussions meaning will we get a cash pay version of Retatrutide uh that is you know circumventing the pbms uh will we get these cheaper prices will will it be be two hundred fifty dollars also and there was a hard no there was a hard no like no that was not included that was not part of these discussions even though what we heard from the trump administration was that those these companies that were jumping on to the most favored nations agreement were also agreeing to offer future drugs at most favored nations pricing now was lily saying that no they're not going to offer it at the it wasn't part of the negotiations in terms of the price points that they had discussed for triseptide maybe or did it mean altogether there won't be a cash pay option of this medication i don't know um that we would love to get clarity on But I highly doubt we're going to get any more information than necessary at this point in time. So, Reta-Trutide is being positioned to be a drug that, and well so, should be offered at a premium. This is a drug that is far exceeding the current drugs that are on the market. I think that we're gonna see even the indications of Reta-Trutide far beyond simple obesity, but it is going to be their crown jewel for the next decade, more than likely. Reta-Trutide is going to be a massive drug, and so they're attempting to build a moat around it. And these are things that we need to be aware of as a community so that we can hold our positions and conversations about these and basically, you know, be able to articulate to people in positions of power like this is an important thing to us. This is an important thing in the advocacy of obesity and sort of the next frontier of the fight of accessibility, which marches on. each and every day because of course the current drugs, while as great as they are and as much as access is expanding, there are still people with sicker or rather more advanced versions of metabolic disease that are gonna need these newer treatments and price is going to be a huge factor. So let's talk about the gray market right now because I think it's also nearly impossible to talk about this topic without including a discussion about the gray market because there are, as I mentioned at the outset, hundreds of thousands of people on this medication already. So research grade Retatrutide exists. It's in the gray markets of the Internet. It's where people are going and they're buying, you know, basically versions of these these peptides that are made in factories overseas. They're being imported into the United States, oftentimes illicitly in shipments that are marked as something else. The FDA has tried to crack down. There's no doctor involved in this. It's a very, that's why it's called the gray market, right? So it's not a prescription medicine, but the demand for this is massive. And all you have to do is really scroll your TikTok for about fifteen minutes. You're going to come across a insane amount of content on the topic of Retatrutide. An insane amount of, and oftentimes, you know, what I find most disturbing is oftentimes it looks like very young people. very young people taking Retatrutide. Crazy, it's crazy. But the demand is massive and there's a whole gray market for it proliferating over on TikTok and in the far reaches of the internet. And I would estimate that tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people are already or have already used it. And I think it's a testament to a to to the effectiveness of this drug. It's also a testament to the fact that there needs to be more guardrails, I think, around this stuff than there currently is, because gray markets appear and they thrive when legal access lags the reality of the demand for the medication. And you saw this earlier this week as we launched a petition to fight back against the Safe Drug Act of twenty twenty five, a drug, a drug act that is in theory designed to put guardrails around compounding. But in practice, I think is creating a new battlefield for Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to shut down compounding on the current classes of medications, which is why We as a community need to be loud about our opposition to it. If they were really concerned about the safety of compounds, they would do two very simple things. They would require reporting around the active pharmaceutical ingredient of a compound. Patients ought to be able to know where the actual source of their medication is coming from. And they should know that those places are FDA approved and inspected. And the second thing is they should require adverse event reporting. Those are required of 503Bs. They should be required of 503As as well. 503As are making a tremendous amount of money. They're making thousands and thousands of these scripts. So when there are adverse events, they should be required to report those to the FDA. Simple. None of that is in this bill. None of it. None of it. Instead, it seeks to put caps on the amount of compounds that can be made by a compound pharmacy without them having to report to the FDA. And then it seeks to codify the definition of essential copy. Again, all of these things that will become law and then argued in court and then a battlefield for Lilly to potentially win a legal battle and thwart compounding. It's creating a new battlefield for them. They're losing in the courts. They're losing with the current language that exists in the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. So we create new language. We create new law. Just vague enough to pull some threads and hopefully win something in court. That's how I see it. You may see it differently. If you do, curious to hear from you. But if you want to fight back against this legislation, you can go to otplinks.com and fight back against that. piece of legislation, because I think that we need as a community to have our voices heard on this, especially those who have gotten healthier by way of compounded medications. So the rumor on the gray market, to get back and close the thought loop here, There's been no specific FDA cutoff announced, but what the rumors going around are that that the compounded versions of GLP ones, especially obesity medicine in the gray market, are all going to turn off like a sieve on January first. Now, I seem to feel like this is probably more of a marketing tactic by these companies to sell a whole bunch of peptides at the end of the year. I think that's probably creating some panic and probably panic buying on people's parts. And so these companies are benefiting greatly. Again, that's why there should be guardrails around this. There's no guardrails around this at all. I mean, at the end of the day, they can say whatever they want to say, so long as they cloak everything in research grade. And these rumors proliferate around and people spend thousands, tens of thousands of dollars. I've heard of people having twenty years worth of Retatrutide in their freezer. Why? For what purpose do you need that? So just a massive amount of money made in this gray market. And that's not to knock people who use it. I say this all the time, but I think it's worth qualifying the statement. It's not knocking people who use it. I get it. But at the same time, we're talking about an industry that is, there's no altruism here. They're in it for money just as much as Eli Lilly is, except they have actually done nothing in the way of advancing medicine. They've just taken intellectual property, copied it, and sold it to you with a label that says, don't put this in your body. So you know where I stand on the gray market. I've heard from many people who've been injured by gray market stuff. It's just what it is. It's a gray market. You're taking your health into your own hands. Please, whatever you're doing out there, as risky as it may be, please involve your doctor and let your doctor know what you're doing so you can be monitored for the things your doctor believes you should be monitored for if you're using this. But this all underscores, again, the need for accessibility to these medications, the need for us to be aware of the fact that a moat is already being built around the most advanced metabolic drug in the pipeline. And we just need to be aware so that when it comes time to fight, we're all ready and informed. And that's what this podcast is serving to do. Before we jump into the next topic, I do want to thank our sponsor, our headline sponsor of this podcast. is a company called Shed.

So thank you to Shed for being a wonderful partner here at On The Pen. Now let's talk about some data that dropped. We're talking about accessibility and all of the sort of advancements in the world mean very little if people can't access it. That's why I think this data that dropped this past week from our friends over at Rowe is incredible. Absolutely game changing data. So check out this data. Real world telehealth data looking at sixty eight weeks. This is looking at patients who were enrolled in their row body program and on a GLP one specifically some maglutide mean weight loss in this study looked at again patients in over sixty eight weeks. The mean weight loss was sixteen point six percent on average. Thirty three percent of patients lost more than twenty percent and the safety in this study and looking at this data match the clinical trials. So what we're seeing here is that care for obesity can be delivered through a telehealth platform at scale and match clinical trial results. So that scalability decides how many people get access. There are not enough doctors out there to serve the over hundred million people in the United States living with overweight or obesity. so when you hear these blowhard doctors online calling all telehealth platforms except their own a pill mill or as i like to say pin mill the data is actually showing something quite different in that this type of obesity care can be delivered at scale through telehealth platforms it can meet people where they're at and allow people to get care without the shame, without the stigma, without their doctor just pointing to the door and saying, if you want a GLP-I, get out of my office. I ain't going to get it here. How ridiculous. But these people can go to platforms like Rho or Shed or any number of telehealth platforms that are out there and not only get access to medicine, but get access to care. So of course, not all telehealth companies are created equal. Of course, not all compound pharmacies are created equal. You want to do your homework and all of that. But this is data that shows that This kind of care can be delivered at scale via a virtual platform and show similar results to a clinical trial. I think, and this is peer reviewed data, and I think that this is just absolutely great news because when we talk about the problem, we need scalable solutions. The old brick and mortar ain't going to work when you don't have enough doctors to serve enough patients. If we want to get life-changing treatments like ritatratide or terzapatide, semaglutide, whatever, into the hands of the people who need it the most, we need companies to innovate scalable tech platforms that can meet patients where they are, that can leverage current technologies to find people the care that they need. And in this case, it's access to a doctor. It's access to a platform. It's access to prescription medication when appropriately prescribed. And it can be done, and it is being done. So I think this is great news, and will play a huge part in the future. As we talk about Retatrutide, even though it's a year and a half away, maybe a little bit longer, it's already exposing – the issues around accessibility and pricing. Hopefully there will be compounded versions available if they're medically necessitated, if there are shortages. We hope that the battleground for that is not already set and won by Lilly before this drug even comes to market. But there are strategies being done to keep people boxed out But I can tell you that whatever happens with Retatrutide, the future of obesity medicine is in virtual care. And platforms are rising to the occasion. Retatrutide hasn't reached patients yet, but it's already forcing the system to show us, you know, are you ready? Are you ready to deliver bariatric surgery level results at scale to the people who need them? So I am so thankful that you joined me here on this podcast today.

    Compliments of the season to you from the At The Flicks crew. If you are like us, then you will be watching at least one James Bond film this Christmas.  Goldfinger, You Only Live Twice and Live And Let Die are choices very popular with this team.  All classics. However, with James Bond somewhat cold at present and Amazon seemingly muddling through with the franchise, we have to ask the question – is the age of James Bond as we know it, over? And that is the subject of the At The Flicks Christmas lecture for this year.  It's a weighty subject, so we have to call on an expert to help address this question.  Bond fan Niall Browne from Movies In Focus joins Jeff and Graham to discuss how did we get here and Amazon's current handling of the James Bond legacy (clue, it's not off to a good start). Of course, a screenwriter and director have been allocated to a new Bond project.  We talk about both and assess if they are the right people for the job or is Amazon “front loading” with talent over ideas? Being life long James Bond aficionados, we also offer some advice on what could or should be next for the superspy – that is, we talk about what we would like to see. Also, we consider the right attributes for the next actor to play James Bond, and of course, like everyone else, we throw in some names. Some of which may be controversial. So, before you settle down with your Christmas Pud (British reference there) to watch Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan or Daniel Craig, why not give us a listen? And if you have ideas about Bond which are not being talked about, please let us know for a possible future follow up show as I am sure the James Bond story is going to change a lot during 2026. Until then, have a great Christmas. We will be back at year's end to share our top films of the year with you. Links Goldfinger Trailer

They delve into the absurdity of the original film, which features a star-studded cast and multiple James Bonds, and discuss how its chaotic narrative pokes fun at the spy genre. Is it any good, spoofing a franchise that barely had existed by that point? Is the 2006 version the best of all the Bond films? Does Woody Allen suffer nearly enough?Also featured in this episode are diatribes about Edgar Wright's "The Running Man", an analysis of British comedy, praise for Mads Mikkelsen, and Stuart and Jacob even build their own spoofs.

    Although James Bond is one of the most beloved film franchises in cinema history, quite a lot of the films remain rather unloved. So we're going to give those ones a closer look, starting this week with the two films that, according to Letterboxd, are the least watched entries in the official EON canon. Nick Langdon pops in and checks out For Your Eyes Only (1981), directed by John Glen, and also Glen's fourth directorial effort in the franchise, The Living Daylights (1987). We don't think it's really possible to spoil any of the James Bond films - surely, they've all seeped fully into the pop culture consciousness by now - so we won't be calling out Spoiler Territory for either film this week.

    The journey to becoming a published author is rarely a straight line, but few paths have been as globally adventurous, or involved a greater number of pachyderms and famous spies, as that of Vaseem Khan.From his decade living in India to his new role continuing the legacy of James Bond's very own gadget master, Q, here are the key takeaways and inspiration points from a writer who proves that persistence truly is the only non-negotiable trait in this business.100 Rejections and the Power of Persistence.Vaseem's story is a powerful reminder that rejection is not destiny, it's just part of the process.After being encouraged by an English teacher in school, he wrote his first novel, a comic fantasy, at the age of 17. The response? A swift, harsh rejection. This was followed by a staggering two decades of writing and seven more rejected novels across various genres.* A Brutal Education: Over that period, Vaseem collected over a hundred rejection letters, describing the feeling as “like being kicked in the bollocks repeatedly every few years.”* The Commitment to the Dream: What kept him going was the fundamental love for books and the idea of being a writer. He believes those who last the course never give up on that core dream.* The Breakthrough Moment: His career finally launched at age 40 when he tapped into his personal experience: his 10 years living in India. He wrote The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra - a crime novel set in modern Mumbai featuring a serious policeman who inherits a baby elephant. His editor loved it precisely because it was “completely different to anything we'd seen in the crime fiction market.”Vaseem's Advice on Finding Your Voice: You have to write what you know, or at least, what you are uniquely positioned to write. The trick is to do something “completely different, but the same, take an established genre, stick to its core beats, but tweak the formula just enough to offer a unique perspective.”Commissioned by Ian Fleming: The Q Mystery Series.Perhaps the most exciting new development in Vaseem's career is his commission by the Ian Fleming Estate to continue the story of James Bond's gadget master, Q.The request was clear: they did not want another straight spy novel.* The Perfect Pitch: The Estate asked for “something halfway between Mick Herren's Slow Horses and Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club.“* The Premise: In the first book, Quantum of Menace, Q is booted out of MI6 at age 50. He returns to his small hometown, having left a “messy past behind,” to reinvestigate the mysterious death of a childhood friend. The hope is that he will evolve into an amateur detective, solving mysteries in this small-town setting.* The 007 Cameo: For Bond fans, Vaseem confirmed that he's included plenty of Easter eggs, and Commander James Bond “does make a meaningful appearance in the second half of the book.”The Single Most Important Piece of Writing AdviceWhen asked for the one crucial tip he gives in his workshops, Vaseem didn't hesitate:“The number one reason that books are rejected by agents is because the quality of the book does not meet their minimum standard for them to be able to have confidence sending it out to a publisher.”His concrete advice is to focus on craft before submission:* Understand Your Genre: Know the standards for prose, plotting, and characterization required for your specific genre (e.g., crime fiction needs a strong hook and right ‘beats' over literary prose).* Get Quality Feedback: You must get feedback. Don't rely solely on friends; consider paying an experienced, trusted editor who has a proven history in the industry.* Don't Ruin the Hook: You normally only get one good chance with a brilliant idea. Bad execution will ruin your chance with an agent, forcing you to write something else. Make the best possible fist of your manuscript before you send it in.Vaseem's interview was a masterclass in commitment, creativity, and the power of finding that one unique idea that can change everything. You can find his books, including his new Q novel, on his website and at all major bookstores.Catch the full interview with Vaseem Khan on our YouTube channel: This is a public episode.

    The 1960s were a defining era for James Bond, and much of that success came from its unforgettable villains. In this episode, we dive deep into How James Bond Villains of the 1960s shaped the 007 franchise, exploring the masterminds who turned spy thrillers into global phenomena. From the calculating genius of Ernst Stavro Blofeld to the gold-obsessed Auric Goldfinger, these characters didn't just challenge Bond—they set the standard for cinematic villains for decades to come. We'll examine how these antagonists influenced the tone, style, and storytelling of the early Bond films. Why did Blofeld become the ultimate symbol of evil? How did Goldfinger's obsession with wealth redefine villainy? And what about Rosa Klebb? How did she add psychological depth to espionage drama? Each villain brought unique traits that shaped Bond's evolution as a character and cemented the franchise's identity. This episode also looks at the cultural impact of these villains. Their extravagant lairs, iconic henchmen, and world-domination plots became templates for countless spy movies and even parodies. We'll uncover behind-the-scenes details, including casting choices, design decisions, and how Ian Fleming's novels influenced their on-screen portrayals. Whether you're a lifelong Bond fan or new to the series, this discussion offers fresh insights into why the 1960s villains remain legendary. They weren't just bad guys—they were trendsetters who defined an era of cinematic sophistication and suspense.

    DeHuff kicks things off with a story from his annual physical, recalling an awkward moment with a female doctor that still lingers in his mind.  From there, things get wild around the globe—starting with a New Zealand man who swallowed a Fabergé pendant inspired by the James Bond film Octopussy, forcing police to sift through his feces to get it back. Detroit enters the chat with their newly erected RoboCop statue, prompting a hilarious discussion about which other cities should honor their iconic movie characters.  Meanwhile in Virginia, a raccoon breaks into a liquor store and gets absolutely plastered, proving once again that wildlife knows no boundaries. Sports heat up as the Denver Broncos sit atop the AFC while the Kansas City Chiefs watch their nine-year AFC West streak slip away. Shedeur Sanders boosts his trade value after a standout game against the Titans, sparking debate about his future. Plus, a look at companies that wildly overthink their social media posts, and a breakdown of how college football bowls and playoffs could be fixed once and for all.

    In the 1960s, America was confident and united. The Beach Boys were on the radio, families were intact, heroes were celebrated, and nobody was confused about what a man or a woman was. Today, our culture is bitter, divided, and confused—and the Left calls that “progress.”In this episode of Life Lessons with Dr. Bob, Dr. Bob sits down with writer, filmmaker, and commentator Bill Whittle to answer one big question: What happened to the country we grew up loving—and can we get it back?Bill explains how cultural Marxism and the Frankfurt School quietly burrowed into universities, media, and entertainment, replacing E pluribus unum with endless tribalism and victimhood. They connect this long march through the institutions to today's headlines: the Left's reaction to October 7th, the way Hamas uses its own civilians as propaganda, and why so many in the West automatically side with “the weaker party” instead of asking who is actually right.Together, they dig into:

    In this episode of Cracking the Code of Spy Movies, Dan and Tom uncover the hidden history of pre-title sequences long before James Bond ever ordered a martini. We look at pre-title sequences – before James Bond and Beyond. Although the 007 franchise made the pre-title or "cold open" world-famous, it certainly didn't invent the idea. Today, we take you on a deep, cinematic journey exploring when pre-title sequences really began, how filmmakers used them, and why they evolved into one of the most iconic elements of modern filmmaking. What we examine: We break down pre-title sequences starting in the 1930s through more modern movies, including film noir innovations, experimental openings from classic Hollywood, and surprising influences that shaped the James Bond formula. You'll hear examples from Double Indemnity, The Killers, D.O.A., The Great Train Robbery, Citizen Kane, Casablanca, North by Northwest, Psycho, and more. We even examine the fascinating proto-Bond styles found in Viennese Nights (1930), The Public Enemy, King Kong, and other early films that used storytelling before the title card. Then we explore how EON Productions transformed the cold open into a cinematic event. Starting with From Russia with Love (1963), the Bond franchise turned the pre-title sequence into a mini-story before the story, complete with action, intrigue, a fake-out death, and a seamless transition into the iconic Bond title design. Movies like Goldfinger perfected the formula, cementing the expectation that every Bond film begins with a thrilling pre-title mission. We also identify earlier cinematic influences on the Bond gun-barrel sequence. This includes the 1934 film Crime Without Passion and the legendary ending of The Great Train Robbery. Finally, we look at how James Bond's success inspired other genres such as action, horror, and thrillers. We even look at television shows like Mission: Impossible and The X-Files. This is to demonstrate how these shows and movies embrace the cold open as a storytelling weapon. If you love movie history, spy films, James Bond, or filmmaking craft, this episode is packed with insights, references, and fun analysis. Tell us what you think about our decoding of pre-title sequences – before James Bond and beyond? Did you already know this history?  Did we miss anything?
