GoldenEye — Analysis of the Opening Sequence

Hey all! When we recently recorded our episode on GoldenEye we also tried out a new format. We watched the opening sequence of the movie together and did some live analysis. We would pause, chat about what was working or not, make comments, etc.

This was truly an experiment done in the spirit of, "Let's see what happens!" I would love to hear your thoughts on what elements work, what you might want to see more of...or a different take on. Really any feedback about if you think something...
