the Madonna song isn’t that bad, y’all are too hard on it, I like it! I like all the Brosnan themes

Austin McDougle

Huge Living Daylights booster here as well, for sure

Rad Rodge

You can fold in the old Casino Royale comedy just so it's 3 instead of two

Nikki Lev

Totally underrated! The Living Daylights is top tier

Adam Purcell

Please do Dalton. Both the movies are better than 3 of the 4 you just watched. The most underrated Bond! We can wait for an epic Connery Dive and the Craig's should come last.

Nikki Lev

Why is no one talking hiro murai for new bond?

Matt

Wow it feels hard to reconcile Death Cab for Cutie with Die Another Day hahah, that is a powerful emulsion

Rad Rodge

Patreon app still sucks, but in new ways.

Zach Neal

I’m so glad I gave this movie a watch after forgetting about for 20 years. Had so much fun. They played “London calling”!

Marshall Weber

I disagree about Bond and Sword fighting/fencing. If anything, we need more Bond fencing/sword-fighting.

Billnetherlands

I was home sick today and watched this, literally fell asleep during the big action climax on the plane at the end. It's just amazing how bad it is.

Begemott

I respect their decision to bleep it out, but I really want to know which dumpling chain they went to.

Michael Hashizume

Good call to do the Austin Powers series right after the Brosnan Bond films. Not only is AP a big Bond parody, but all three movies came out the same year as a Brosnan Bond film.

Neil

Here to jump off of Marie’s recollection about Claire’s sticky body jewels of this era and add: I have never seen this film, but it lives forever in my mind because there was a Revlon magazine ad on how to do either Halle Berry’s or Rosamund Pike’s makeup looks from the film. This was about as expert as my looks at age 15 got, went great with my Death Cab for Cutie band tee.

Anna Louise Wiegenstein

I have seen the Love Guru. After this commentary I think I’ll be skipping it. Unless I want to hear Griffin and David try to politely compliment Megan Good on her figure (the only memorable part)

David Zimmerman

The car crash in ALONG CAME A SPIDER has an energy one might associate with CRUISIN’ WORLD on N64.

Tom Lowery

Here’s a guy who could completely deconstruct the tone of the franchise, can direct a perfectly elegant action setpiece, seems disinterested in auteurism, would nail a 60s-set throwback caper, and has a proven track record of injecting relevance into a beloved but fusty English property: Paul King.

Riley Johnson

I distinctly remember asking my uncle to make this Track 1 on the mixed CD he was going to burn for me

maplejuris

You know what—I am interested

Rad Rodge

Forgot what a big swing this movie is—I almost have to respect it. From Bond shooting straight into the gun barrel, to the first onscreen—er—climax, to a character too badass to need sleep. Seems like Purvis and Wade will turn in nothing short of a cocaine binge of a script if left on their own. Even referencing James’ destroyed liver…😅

Philip Ehlke

Griff needs to consider the value behind putting another franchise up on the board… The Exorcist franchise. Granted, a Friedkin run in main feed would be superior viewing, but there’s some value to the hilarity of reliving directors try to expound upon that first film. Anyone else waiting for when the boys cover Donner? Or James Wong? I feel like those are two very sensible choices… It would be fascinating to get Bill Simmons in on one of the Donners but I think an easier get is Van Lathan, Jr. on SUPERMAN. I bet he’d go bonkers to cover that with them. Can drag Fennessey along, too.

Tyler Duggan

I guess Bond movies often have this problem, now that I think about it, there’s plenty that peak with the pre-credits sequence (maybe both TWINE and this?) and plenty of others that peak in the first act after the credits

Rad Rodge

This is insane. Or conversely, a great way to trial run five or six Bonds who get killed in violent fashion (before reviving one for the next Bond franchise).

Joe

Leigh Whannell would be a fun pick for a reinvented Bond, I feel

Conor

I can listen to Mari's laugh for hours

Reed mikkelsen

American Life is a bad song but good album.

Sarah Palmer

Austin Powers -> Love Guru will be such a fucking treat.

fartinscorcese

I was thinking about it, Tony and Dan Gilroy for 26

Nick Solomon

The genre description on Die Another Day is: Action; Compelling; Understated; Thoughtful No notes

Percy Leopold Cromwell

Next Bond should be directed by Tom Ford. The saga needs a reinvention in order to remain relevant and above the rest of modern spy franchises, and its best bet would be to remind general audiences that Bond movies are synonym of style and glamour. Tom Ford is your man.

Felipe Alemany

S.S. Rajamouli for next director??? He’s from the commonwealth? He is hot hot hot! He can direct action!

Britt B

When Pierce Brosnan was sitting having lunch by the pool, did someone throw a lime at his head? Did you tell him it was a run-by fruiting?

Britt B

Watching this again for the first time in many years, it strikes me that this film and TWINE both start fairly strong, or at least ok, but then fall off sharply at the midpoint (at the introduction of Christmas Jones and the invisible car, respectively).

MoCoSwede

Mank you, next! Mank you, next! I’m so fuckin grateful for da Finch

Rasmus Munkner

This film has always been a guilty pleasure for me. As a kid I would weirdly keep watching it during new years for no reason at all.

Elliot Adler

It’ll never happen, but if anyone should do a one-off Bond movie, John Williams recently said he’d love to score a Bond movie…Spielberg’s been wanting to do a Bond since 1977, even after Broccoli rejected him. Spielberg and Williams, one last time. We got a hint of it in Catch Me If You Can. I can dream. Also, Rosamund Pike rules and is easily the best part of the movie.

Joe Martin

I think Die Another Day is my favorite Brosnan (or neck and neck with GoldenEye). I just assume everything in the movie after the credits is Bond’s fever dream as he rots away in an NK prison. Also means the next movie has to be a new Bond! I think I got that from a Cracked.com article way back when they were actually interesting/funny.

Matthew Comegys

Bond takes on the woke agenda: No Time To Cry

David Brown

Ben, "I know that duck piss isn't real but" I about lost it at work.

Storm chaser Jay

“Now look at these scorpions, and listen to this song.”

Rad Rodge

Marie is so right about that Jaguar ad, Mark Strong is always a king but that ad kinda won me back about Tom Hiddleston at a time when I was getting real tired of him

Rad Rodge

I actually really like the Madonna song and thought it was popular when it came out. Just finding out that I was like the only person playing this shit like it was a hit.

XTINABE

Tfw relitigation of duck piss

Rad Rodge

Good luck to us all.
