S4E10: You Only Live Twice With No Notes
🕑 Added 2025-03-20 14:44:10 +0000 UTCThats right, it's a kind of round number of episodes- which means it's time once again to take a crack at our original pitch for Season 2!
This week, Join us as we cast our minds back to 1960s Japan and 2021 Britain as we attempt to remember everything that happens in the movie You Only Live Twice without rewatching the film or referring back to our notes.
Can we do it? I don't think so. I don't think so.

Hey, Devon here. As you well know I've been working with a few gazan families to raise money for their daily living costs in the genocide. We're putting all our energy into this one campaign as we have a real chance to get Ahmed and his family out of Gaza. Please, if you can help in any way, be that by donating yourself or sharing the link with friends and family, it will mean the world to me.

I thought the first woman he meets was Aki, who Connery keeps calling “Acky” Acky gets killed by the poison drops, and then Tiger comes up with the “become Japanese” plan to a different woman Tiger tells him “she has a face like a pig”. The second woman is Kissy

KJB lingerie concept: a bra that opens around the nipples like the gun barrel opening

Please do a shirt of the heist season art I would even pre-order it
Mythopoeist
As a blacksmith, I would genuinely buy a KJB anvil.
Sand2Stone
Wasn't sure where else to post this, but for robbery season please consider Sugar and Spice. Cheerleader bank heist movie from 2001 written, directed, and starring women.
Platinum, Queen of Dread
I currently (24/3/25) have 75$ usd in a secure location. Please sell the shirt i will buy one i will post pictures.

I'm sure it's already been given, but I do keep notes for the numbers for each SCUM score (it's a way to kill time) alongside the awards, and the original numbers for You Only Live Twice were 5, 8, 2, and 7.

Proposing the Pajama Pit Ribbon for Underwhelming Villainy (the design for which could include the motto "just use a gun")

Absolute favorite lair design, just defined it for the whole genre after this. Apparently actually cost a million dollars to make the set

"Where are the ninjas getting their weapons? They're quite specialized, the throwing stars, the kunai with chain" the fucking actual MBA Gyrojet rocket guns! Talk about specialized, the ammo for one of those is more than 200$ per round today
Clare
Looking forward to jumping straight from this to the original episode - seeing what the shift has been
PokeMaple
As a Perthie you're so real for that one
Damien Tonkin
3 minutes in and nova gives tacit permission to replace her on the podcast. I guess getting your affairs in order is now an important part of submitting your US visa application.
Vae may be looking for a longer name
Yes I would buy and wear a Brosnan shirt how is this even a question
Manuel Kiguel
"First, you become a Japanese"...[Cut to Sean Connery in the worst yellow-face ever.] Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto awoke from his nightmare. What he'd seen shook him deeply. It could not be allowed to happen. The West had to be destroyed.
Evie K
None of you are allowed to die! I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that this podcast has become a cornerstone of my (admittedly weak) grip on sanity!!!!
Katana King
Thailand- cheap food, good beaches and over the counter HRT
Lord Travis Lance the 3rd Matheson esq
Here is an idea. Evil Genius 1 & 2 stream. That would be pretty fun.
PaceSchwarz
This episode rocked. I would love a re-release of the Season 1 KJB movie poster, I was so sad I didn’t get one.
Andrew Dunn
Siamese vodka
Francesca Sapsford
Kill James Bond hoodie! I need one in my life ❤️🙏🥳
Sammi
I would add that "Wile E Coyote is in Spectre" was explicitly a thing that happened in that spy themed live action Looney Toons film. The one with Timothy Dalton playing off brand Bond.
Alex Tompkins
Please do branded hard hats. I've always wanted a hard hat but I want it to be a strange obe
Nikola
i'll keep it real i am not buying that shirt
Jack Fennell
I'd buy a KJB branded anvil. I take self defence seriously.

Nonce torpedoes are against the Geneva Conventions!
River Gilles Cooke
Yesss, love these throwbacks to what it felt like when I had amnesia. They can never come soon enough.
Meonlights
Hell yeah to the next bonus. Literally kept thinking of it during the discussion of the "step on me" scene.

Perhaps P lingerie is a great trademark for a particular set of laceys knickers for gender queer persons who still need a pouch.

I need the Brosnan shirt I've been waiting so long

Make more kiwi friends more reason to come here

NEW ZEALAND MENTIONED WHAT THE FUCK IS A SHORT DISTANCE INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT
Winson Paine
Star Trek space burials in the eyeglasses case are my favorite. Also I am a huge nerd, the sunglasses case they shoot people out in is a proton torpedo casing so it is pretty durable and probably made to survive atmosphere
Tall Jeff
I can't usually partake of merch shirts myself, but I would keep one on hand for the occasional visiting twink.
Mags
I love the impulse to give Spectre 11 an award and wonder if an award for "earning the metal plate" would be possible
Bidenist_thirdworldist
I feel like there's so many episodes recently where I've really wanted to watch the movie beforehand thank fuck today's a no notes
Desmond Gonzalez
How many times do you live with notes

Abby fighting the good fight against biplane erasure.

cannot wait for spectre FUCKING eleven

this is just good advice in 2025 `Tiger Tanaka: • First, you become a Japanese. • Second, you train 🚂 hard and quickly to become a ninja 🥷 , like us. • And third, to give you extra special cover, you take a wife.` ===== the UK and US are gaining brain worms and it is impacting ordinary life, so it is good to get citizenship somewhere else develop your hobbies and your hyperfixations, and do it in a group setting with one’s blokes finding a partner who you sacrifice for and do labor keeps people sane in a world of madness, get yourself out of your head and do some direct action / work this response is in jest, but seriously this is practical life advice now a days

"...until it's just kind of a podcast of us chatting" I see November's Ocean's Eleven plan of tricking Devon and Abby into being her friends is working. Now where's that saxophone noodler? And I would buy the brosnan shirt. Maybe not the anvil, I'd have to completely redesign the room around it.
Lay-Tex-Lips
A bit of Hyperfixation Mode: technically “ninja grade” metal would be just normal metal since they historically didn’t have that many supplies. It’s why so many of their tools are just modified farming equipment. Kusarigama is just a rope/chain with a hand scythe on one end and a weight on the other, and a Kunai was just a small hand trowel. So technically you could label cooking knives “Ninja Grade” without changing anything and it would technically be accurate.
Lizzie LaHaie
Dev you misunderstand, my desire to wear the most bonkers t shirts and modify them into crop tops and muscle Tees knows no bounds
Brian Taulbee
“Kill Bond…now!” happens right after Specter 11 goes to the pyjamas. Abbie is right.
Sluggnya
This was your most frantic and insane one yet, thank you
Peter Larkin
If it's based on Spotify listens then I'm afraid I'm not helping to prevent the bomb from going off. I just listen through Patreon for some fecking reason....
Justine
I WILL BUY YHE SHIRT!
S Brandywine
The segment about dropping an anvil on Bond made me laugh and then come up with an idea: for each movie, identify the funniest moment for the protagonist to die. Truly killing James Bond.
Tariq Moustapha
The Federation flag is definitely draped over Spock's torpedo. It was removed before he was shot out.
Tariq Moustapha
First, you become a Muppet.
Erin Taylor
I will buy a brosnan shirt
cole d
...entirely JapaneEeeEeEese.
Jazz Fox-Canning
"Wile E Coyote is in SPECTRE" is a good bit. this organization does not tolerate failure but the guy can't die to all the contrived metal plates and pajama pits. he keeps advancing through the numbers when all the buffoons above him fuck it colossally and actually die. Wile E Coyote is probably SPECTRE 3 by now
Rufus Dean
I support the shirt conceptually. But must admit I would not buy it
Jess Edwards
Devon. I will buy the lingerie and the shirt.
Princess Gwynevere
Yay thunderbirds mentioned
Knights Who Say Sledge
Abby speaking in Sean Connery: "You wouldn't deny a white boy a harmless vape, would you?" Me: (falls out)
Skate Bush
Speaking of Charles Gray I was watching Rocky Horror with my friends and I wanted to point at the screen when he first showed up but I knew my friends wouldnt get it
Pandora Catarina Hex
I would buy a KJB brand anvil
Bill Miller
Sean Connery in Yellowface, Charles Gray - who refuses to go entirely Japaneeese, Donald Plesance as my 2nd favorite Blofeld. What's not to like?
Kill James Bond!
Thank you
Knights Who Say Sledge
Is Mr. Chemicals my favorite KJB renaming for a character to date? It might be. I howl with laughter each time and repeat to myself aloud, "Mr. Chemicals." Cheers, y'all.
Meonlights
I do remember the episode after Abi's face just did that because she couldn't really laugh since it hurt 8'D
Eva Graversen
I'll be honest. I wouldn't buy the shirt.
Playslashwrite
YOL....T? 🤔
Knights Who Say Sledge
These are my favorite episodes. I love y'all going fully unhinged. Actually, I just love y'all (parasocially speaking).
Lucie Rose
it is time to go entirely Japanese

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This is going to be a glorious mess.
