Episode 2: From Russia With Love
Added 2021-03-03 00:06:56 +0000 UTCIt's Sean Connery, Timothy Dalton, and Daniel Craig's favourite bond movie.
It's the last movie JFK ever saw.
But is it any good?

Also just realized Red Grant is Quint from Jaws

The BBFC would almost always demand cuts during editing that persist to this day. It's a great look into the hang-ups of the British psyche at any given time. In the case of From Russia With Love they were convinced to only make minor cuts to violence, but slashed out a whole bunch of innuendo https://melonfarmers.co.uk/hitscr.htm

And Klebb was played by Lotte Lenya, the legendary actor/singer who originated the role of Pirate Jenny in the first stage production of Brecht's Threepenny Opera. Seriously, look up her performance of that song she's incredible.

2021-03-03 05:08:39 +0000 UTCYo I'm loving the show. I know it's not totally Bond adjacent but if y'all are looking for bonus-episode ideas, I think the three of you tearing apart the 1980 masterpiece FFOLKES (NORTH SEA HIJACK) would be a lot of fun. Once you're in the Roger Moore era, of course ;)
