Call for Questions for KJB Q&A 9
🕑 Added 2023-08-31 09:28:11 +0000 UTCWe're starting a new season, and so we're gonna kick it off with another Q&A for next week's bonus! I'm not gonna even really gonna prompt a theme here. What do you want to know? Is there anything you want to get our thoughts on?
We've answered a lot of questions in our time so don't worry if yours doesn't get picked- a lot of the time its because we've already answered something similar in an earlier Q&A episode

Jon, it hurts
i think more often than not its intentional, its when you write a character as if they were queer without making it explicit. classic disney villans like Scar and Ursula are good examples (Ursulas design is even based on a drag queen) a lot of times, esp in older movies, this is done bc you arent allowed to put queer characters in the film but you still want some kind of representation. you give the characters traits or use tropes that are assosiated with being queer, like the "found family" trope which is relatable to a lot of queer people who were disowned or have poor relationships with their family and had to essentially find one themselves.

Hi. 53-year-old cishet guy here. Usually I know enough about queer culture to follow all references. However, lately I've noticed—in multiple podcasts—frequent references to queer coding in cinema, and I don't understand it. From the context, I've been able to glean that it's (sometimes? usually? always?) unintentional, but beyond that I don't understand what it means, because the shorthand is just too opaque. Is it a sort of unconscious semiotics? I'd appreciate any elaboration.
HogWithGreatArmpitHair
Everyone: Any intent to definitively rerate some of the older bonds? Your view of the SCUM system has changed a lot since original inception, and a lot of the older films had slightly lower ratings anticipating others would be worse. Also we need Cars 2 no notes.
Jay La Kitt
Not sure what you mean, I have only mentioned one here 😊
Ezra
I haven’t watched any of the movies you’ve talked about. Which one(s) should I absolutely watch?
Ezra
Mostly for Alice: Thoughts for the World Series??? (Writing this while watching my Phillies crush the Diamondbacks— hopefully this doesn’t become ironic soon)

Charleythechameleon
Edited recently cos I didn't specify the actor soz
Ezra
Favorite thing about your current residence?
Matthew Pritchard
You mention your notes a lot during the show, how do you make good notes about a movie while watching without writing too much so you get distracted, or too little so you don't know what it was you meant?
Jazz Fox-Canning
do you have any predictions on what kinds of things in season 3 you'll like or dislike the most?
Jessie W
Why do fools fall in love
Sophia
What is the SCUM score for "Train Pulling into a Station"?
Izaak Lee
Are there any plans to re-evaluate the modern OSS 117 films once you've covered the originals?
Thisis Aname
What has been the most mediocre feature-length movie you have ever seen
Jorg2 - stalker, I hardly know her
What's the worst thing the podcast has made you do so far?
Claire
Is there any more John taliban?
Emilia Chick
There haven't been many awards given out in the last few episodes. Are there any worthy receivers of a goodnight (Kuryakin) cross, Kronsteen rosette, or Brian Cox award for the Stallone Sprint?
Raggedyman
My question is: I'm doing a 24 hour Amityville Horror Movie Marathon to raise money for the homeless charity Crisis UK; could you please give it a mention? The link is justgiving.com/page/24-hours-in-amityville and I can't express either how grateful I would be for this nor how much these movies are going to suck.
Stephanie
You get to write the 6th Rambo film, but on the condition that you include at least one Roaring Rampage of Revenge. Who are you setting Rambo on?
Frontlinecaster
What race/class is each of the hosts playing in Baldur's Gate 3? And why are all the trans femmes playing bards? (Myself included)
Jørgen Lund
For the N64 Goldeneye game, Shigeru Miyamoto - somewhat uncomfortable with the violence - suggested it'd be nice to have a scene where "at the end of the game, you got to shake hands with all your enemies in the hospital." Which movie would be most improved by the addition of that scene?
Wyn Kesteven
If you had to rewrite the script to give an ambiguous ending to a film that’s been on the pod, forcing the audience to read the subject matter as symbolic rather than literal, which film would you do it to?
Väärät Sukat
Fuck Marry Kill: All of the Professor Chimps.
The January Storm
If you could make any movie with any cast and an effectively unlimited budget what would you make?
Charleythechameleon
I respect that Sylvester Stallone is a working actor but is there any particular reason why you didn't mention the numerous accusations of (alleged) sexual assaults and domestic abuse against him? Usually when it's a working actor I respect that Abi has to remain professional but I was a bit thrown off to hear Dev and Alice speaking so positively about him. I also respect you guys probably didn't know so I'm also commenting this to make people aware. Love the pod thanks for giving me the will to live through the god awful job I just quit.
Miryam Weiss
Fuck Marry Kill: raspberry jam, cherry preserves, marmalade
Dave Blanchard
I don't think it would make a exceptional episode, but I would love to hear Alice give her reactions to the 1979 classic "The Odd Angry Shot."
Clare
In the alternate universe where OSS 117 became the ultimate film spy trope by which all other (including Bond) are measured, what would this podcast be called?
Kill James Bond!
Yeah this still whips to do as a job
Kill James Bond!
Genuinely, The Man from Hong Kong is a perfect starter
Dr. Yolo McSwag
Would you ever consider doing the Ocean's movies?
Amy
Is there a film you'd like to do for the podcast but can't/wont? (ethical reasons, content warning reasons etc.)

Who wins between 1) all of the Professors Chimp, and 2) The Chimp? Each side has an hour warning/prep time, and start within 20 miles of each other or so
Hoob
To keep the season-end tradition of uncomfortable FMKs going: FMK all the different Stallones of the season?
Lay-Tex-Lips
Unsure if this one has been asked before but: fav Pokémon of each host?
Curatrix Ribston
Is the third modern OSS 117 (alerte rouge en afrique noire) on the menu this season, and if yes will it be a mainline or a bonus episode?
Kaeczar
Do you have any predictions for next Bond movie?
LexiBaybeee
Would you rather be attacked by two birds or one roach?
G M
What are your favorite bits from the Kill James Bond movie? My favorite bit was the running joke of Alice having way too many covert pictures of Bond because she was trying out all of her cameras
Kyle Clark
What's the worst portrayal of a trans woman that you've seen in cinema? I'd say Detective Einhorn in Ace Ventura, but Sean Young's acting wasn't the problem, so much as it was the script. I'm also a cishet guy from Ohio, so, WTF do I know?
oranjest1
thats so goddamn cool i would be a duck if i could. they have three of four elements under fucking lock
i once heard a podcaster assume the spice channel was associated with the spice girls

John Bowler
What year was Die Hard released? Follow-up question: what year was Rising Sun released?
Ashley Lees
What is your favourite drinking oath/curse (non-alcoholic drinks could/should also be enjoyed Vikingily). My favourite I was introduced to by a group of Swiss (?) girls following a weekend spent in Berlin’s most disorienting Techno clubs was translated to me as [all moving your cups around as you chant this]: “to the middle; to the tits; to the balls … drink”. I fear something is lost in the translation
DMK
The protagonist of every movie you've watched for the pod all get into a battle royale. As the gamemasters, who do you unfairly intervene for, and do you intervene to help them win or make sure they lose?

Who are your Smash Bros mains? Or mains in any other games with a character select?
Quarter Heat
You are in a 10x10 stone room. Your party (distribute among yourselves) is a halfling paladin, a kobold wizard, and a tiefling bladedancer. A half-orc guard is sitting on top of a treasure chest. Inside the chest is a key that unlocks the door to the north, beyond which is a stage where George Lazenby is about to admit to the most cancellable activity the forgotten realms has ever known. What do you do?
Slowly, Inevitably
If they made another Rambo movie, what country should it be set in?

Sophie the Bookworm
Hi, sorry if this question is too off-topic but as someone (trans, 30's) I've always wanted to get into acting but never had before transition, do you have advice where one could best start out with learning acting skills? thanks to all of you for this amazing podcast, I always look forward to it.
apostenosis
The Return of Captain Invincible, of course, notably features Christopher Lee as a Bond villain and/or immortal demon. (It also features a lot of bad ideas and inscrutable editing, admittedly.)
Basement of Alexandria
Obviously not for the Season of Solidarity but for future seasons do you plan on highlighting specific actors or just keep it film series/genre specific? This is my roundabout way of asking you to watch Get Carter since I'm desperate to hear your take on it
Sabine Bagley
What is each of your favorite bond gadgets and if you were to make your own what would it be disguised as, what would it actually be, and what highly specific situation would it be used in?
OutbackCatgirl
what is your favourite OSHA violation in the movies you've seen thus far?
EsquireDevMark
Given how well you responded to the Australian's in Speed Racer, do you have any Australian Films you enjoy/would want to do on the Pod? Australian cinema has a fascinating relationship to all the elements of S.C.U.M; Gallipoli, The Adventures of Priscilla, The Castle, Murial's Wedding. Plus I'd love to hear Tom and Demi come on and have to explain to you Larrikinism and Aussie Ennui
LeafPockets
Re: Robocop and Demolition Man, what are some films/books that have done "spy in the future" well? Or what ideas do you have about that?
BloodLily16
OSS 117 and James Bond swap places for a movie, Bond in a 117 and 117 in a Bond. What would be the funniest switcharoo?
Brett Owen
As a one off, is there any chance you’d take a look at a Bond/Espionage themed videogame? Desperately want to know how y’all would react to MGS3
Freya Rivers
Devon mentions DnD a fair whack and November mentioned Hunter the Vigil that one time during atomic blonde, what are y'all history with rpgs, do you have any games to recommend? and as a WoD person to another oWoD or nWoD November?
Hannah Oberhardt
Hope that this is an appropriate question for this kind of Q&A
Hannah Oberhardt
For anyone who wants to answer, what are some smaller things you did while you were transitioning that made you feel like you were making progress? Thank you for doing this show, the three of you helped me a great deal in realizing this was something I needed to do.
Dorothy Heinrichs
Would you PLEASE do Scarlet Pimpernel and Master and Commander! Im absolutely ready to help with clothes if that’s an issue and the Ladies need Gowns

also: which jimmy bonda would you want the most in the communist revolution?
Herman Bergkvist
hwat is the gayes jimmy bondino movie?
John Paul Killam
Would you guys ever do the Danger man/secret agent man series starting Patrick Mcgoohan? Lots of spy noir, spycraft and good vibes. macGoohan was offered the role of Bond and turned it down as it was too horny
Andrew Harrison
Have you seen Raiders of Atlantis? I saw it recently and thought it would be a kick ass bonus episode.
Don Kasak
Were there any deaths related to the filming of Stalker, as there was for The Conqueror? My suggestion was for filming disasters, such as shooting a film downwind from atomic bomb tests.
Corinne

Or for a movie that doesn't feature a white guy playing The Great Khan, Stalker (the first soviet film?)
Nicjobro
Also what is so funny about Slough? I have seen a bunch of british people make Slough jokes and what I can infer is that it is a bit shit. I would appreciate a more thorough explanation.
Brian Danger Hicks
What right-wing conspiracy theory do you wish that the Rambo series had covered?

You’re a super spy, what gadget do you insist on taking on every mission and why?
Marco Olivares
Favorite animal of each? Would it be the same one you would put in your "drop enemy spy here" pit?

Mostly to Abi: Did you learn anything from making this podcast with regards to your professional acting? And to the others: Have you found new appreciation for some aspects of film making?
Orion666
Is there any movie or franchise that y'all've officially, as a podcast/business, decided never to review?
John Paul Killam
i think they should do it as an april fools and be like "trust us, play it" and then an hour of the theme music.
John Paul Killam
To alice; I hear you reference warhammer 40k a lot during episodes of different podcasts; were you a player at one point? if so, what faction(s)?
John Paul Killam
Would you guys ever do a "live playthrough" style mini series, perhaps with alice GM'ing a game of Vtm V5 or Hunter? or a different ssystem?
Jack Fennell
The Brides of Dracula from 'Van Helsing' get unleashed into the setting/plot of any other film you've covered on the podcast. Which film do you choose?
Evelyn
You’ve been declared the God-Empress/God-Emperox of all humanity. All the world’s resources and talents are at your disposal, but you are only allowed to use them for silly bullshit. What are your decrees?
StepperOfTheLongEarth
1. What drops do you consider to be "your drops"? For example: I associate "Mongo, we got a Mongo here" to be Devon's. 2. With Abigail setting the precedent, will you do more episodes where the hosts watch different cuts of movies? The hilarity of doing say "Blade Runner" with that set up would be legendary.
Gabe
Will you all review Disco Elysium? It seems really in y'all's wheelhouse artistically and politically.
Gabe
What videogames you been playing recently? Would you recommend any?

Out of every fit in every film you’ve watched for the pod, what’s the fit that goes hardest?

Oh fuck, they should do "The Pentagon Wars"! Which everyone should watch, btw, it's a dramatisation of the troubled development of the Bradley Armored Fighting Vehicle, staring Carey Elwes and Kelsey Grammar and it's fucking fantastic.
God's Eepiest Soldier
oh, here's another one: what's in your Inventory? if, incredibly, you were defeated, what are your drops?

What are your all-time favorite bits you've done on the show? Or alternatively, any requests for me?
Jason Young
If you could make any board game life sized and play through it, what game would you choose? You all rule! Thanks for your marvelous podcast and general awesomeness!
Crane
Do you feel that there was a fundamental change in the tone and nature of Action Movies following 9/11, and if so, how would you characterise it? (Background: My ex-girlfriend and I had a debate about the ways in which you lost the kind of movie where the villain is a renegade Evil U.S. Military Guy but the protagonist is an uncomplicatedly Good Agent Of American Imperialism, and instead got more movies where the villain is a Devious Foreigner but the protagonist is a Gritty Conflicted Agent Of American Imperialism who does evil things which are portrayed as necessary.)
Chad Countiss
Are there any Eurospy movies that you're particularly looking forward to/particularly dreading?
God's Eepiest Soldier
what historical period, *pre-1850*, would you most want to see a james bond movie be set in? we are talking paleolithic to early industrial revolution, any area of the world, and bond can either have time traveled into it or be a sort of sui generis manifestation of the bond principle inhabiting a person from that place and time.
The Project Project
I like this idea. I'd listen to that with furious vengeance.
The Project Project
N.B. If you do watch "Predestination," and I hope you do-- I really can't recommend it highly enough-- understand that you'll need to carve out a couple hours to actually *watch* it. It's like "Memento," in that you can't let your attention wander.
Andrew Finch
Weeb question primarily for Dev but open to the others as well. Favourite JoJo part, protagonist, Jobro and arc?
Topper
Have you considered doing a miniseries on "loose canon" cop shows? Maybe one or two iconic episodes each of Magnum PI, Hunter, T&T, Rockford Files, Mannix, Ironside, CHIPS, Kojak, Miami Vice, Hawaii-Five Oh, Mike Hammer, The Commish, Nash Bridges, and then maybe end it with something good like Barney Miller and Due South? (There's probably Brit/UK shows along these lines, but all we ever got in Canada from the BBC was the comedies.)
majorenglishesquire
You've been given access to the device from Demolition Man and you enter the Sex Dojo of the Mind. Which KJB-reviewed movie, scene, or scenario do you manifest in and which film baddie are you rizzing up for your solo sesh?
The Project Project
Hello! First, I want to recommend a movie I think all of you would like: "Predestination" with Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook. A film with multiple time loops about a woman who fathers themself, it has a lot to say about identity and was MASSIVELY slept on. It's beautifully paced, well-written, very well-acted, and will hopefully make you think; If you chose to do an episode about it, just as a palate-cleanser, I'm sure the response would be positive. (2) For Devon: Please, could I ask you to read my name in the Patreon thank-yous as "Jay Arr Roloff?" You have the last name right, but I'm not a 'junior' in any meaning of the word; I'd be quite grateful. (&) If each of you were, for whatever reason, drafted into A National Intelligence Apparatus©®™, what role do you think you could fill? Conversely, if you wished to sabotage from within and *appear* to be fully on board, how would you go about it (cf. Ian McCollum's "Elbonia")? Thank you for your consideration, and thank you for this work. You've taught a tubby old cishet truck driver quite a bit, and I'm grateful. ~J.R.

What is your favourite Musical? Either screen or stage
Dan Hunt
If you could play any character from all of season 2 of KJB, which one would it be? And which one would you most want to have stamp out cigarettes on you?
Marvin the Mattress
Proper question: How would you kill John Rambo? Or would the masturbatory nature of that film universe make it impossible? Other question: Are you guys planning to have Tom and Demi back? Mike Myers did Cat In The Hat. I hear Demi is somewhat of an expert.
Conor Buller
You can pick any Rambo movie and any Bond movie to swap the protagonists - which combo produces the funniest / worst outcome? Optionally broaden this to any two main series movies.

Is The Batman a cowboy movie?

Out of the films you've reviewed, who is the "Most Gender™️" character from a film for each host? (I assume Devon's vote is for Frank Serpico)

Thoughts on Auteur Theory?
Joyous Uwu
Personally, I would not mind a Weekend at Bernie's ripoff, some sort of roaring rampage of ridiculousness with the Police Squad style of humor. Weekend at Bond's: Dr. No Time to Die: Another Day. Let's be honest and use the corpse of this character like we are using the corpse of the franchise!
Joyous Uwu
We have killed James Bond (even if it was all just in his North Korean torture delusions). However, capital demands resurrection in some way. There is no rest for the wicked, and our titular sex pest is no exception. After season two and roaring into season three: Now you are the author of all ya' pain! If the franchise must go on but you could choose how to continue, how would it continue? Would James Bond become a zombie, a clone, non-binary or even a woman (A WOMAN)? What sort of plots would you choose now that you have become that which you despise?
Peter Killey
We've heard a lot about films you hate, but what are each of your favourite films personally? Xoxo
A Sentient Mongoose
What's the funniest conspiracy theory you belive? If you had infinite money to make a sequel to Casino Royale 1967 what would it be? Obviously making a discord is a mistake, but what social media platform, currently existing or deceased, would you create a fangroup on?
Tove
Which is the subjectively cooler special effect? Miniatures or Puppets?
PostMPanda
Quite a few of the films you have talked about had sequels which never happened or were cancelled during development. Here's a weird sequel fuck, marry, kill. Which film you've watched for the podcast would you most like to watch a sequel for (Mamma Mia 3 is already coming)? Which film you've covered would you like to make a sequel for? Which film you've watched would you want to kill off any chances of a sequel happening?
silvergazer31
Sorry in advance if this was already asked, ain't been following that long. For each of you, what is your "This could have been great and instead it was trash" film. A Film that had the potential for greatness, where all the pieces were there to create a really fucking good product, and instead it turned into a flaming shit-cyclone of destructive pain and failure.
Don Kasak
What topic would be the best for a pure hybrid KJB/WTYP podcast, and why wouldn't it be the 1956 film "The Conqueror?"
Pineneedles
Favourite Roman emperor?
Wait, is that a slur. Oh thank god it's just the J word. James.
In 2024, a glorious revolution propels you to be the Supreme Triumvirate of the Federated Soviets of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. By 2026, one of you has disappeared. Their name has been stricken from all records, their voice scrubbed from all podcasts, their image replaced by a cartoon dancing bear. The Supreme Duoviri has always ruled over the land granting the people all that they need. Which one of you is gone and why?
Ellie Hallgren
Assuming you were given an infinite budget, what movie adaptation would you want to make? A novel, comic, or even historical event, as long as it's an existing story. Bonus, who would you get to direct it?
Mike Crotch - Harvey
What's your favourite mecha design
Gabe C
You have the option of ensuring that any single director who died in the 80s or 90s survives in good health and continues working, but you also know that 9/11 is going to drive them insane and their output is going to get worse. Who do you pick?
Wait, is that a slur. Oh thank god it's just the J word. James.
Your producer convinces you it's time to do the greatest crossover event in podcast history. (Because he's tired of editing a million different podcasts.) It's time for Well There's Your James Bond: the Trash Donkey of the Future with Slides. What movie are you watching about a stupid startup, engineering disaster in military history?
Ben
Alice: how much do you bench? Devon: which philosopher’s biopic would you most like to star in? Abby: favourite piece of military apparel?

If chatgpt was fed transcripts from every KJB episode and asked to write a poem, what do you think it would produce?

David S
Out of all the movies you watched, which protagonist would you have as a 4th host of the pod?

Are silent films out of the question? I know they aren’t suitable for picking drops, but something like The Lodger or Les Vampires or Metropolis could be interesting to talk about.

If you had an hour in a locked room to talk with any politician or businessperson of your choice, who would you choose and what would you talk to them about? Verbal abuse is permitted, but you cannot physically interact with them.

I was watching the 1997 Batman & Robin the other day, and it struck me how whimsical and unserious the film was, especially when compared to how ultra-gritty and pseudo-profound the Batman films have become since then. Do you think the tide will turn back to camp any time soon?

fuck marry kill: fat bastard, doctor evil, austin powers

You are given infinite money and creative control to make one Bond film. The film must make a billion dollars. The film must be no more than 15 rated. The film must end the Bond franchise and brand to such an extent that no-one will touch the IP for at least a generation. What's your pitch?
Ed Bevan
What did you prefer as kids - Hot shots or Naked gun?
Final Bond Girl
What surprised you most to learn about your cohosts in the course of the podcast?

Hello beautiful women on my phone and Devon, Killer of Men and Beast; Which Bond do you think would best get along with BOTH Austin Powers and Jason Borne?
Peter Larkin
Going to Greggs, do you want anything?

Bond, Bourne, Ryan, Solo, Rambo (Powers?). Who fares the best/worst on a different character's mission?

Devon, what subject did you teach in your time as a teacher? And as a general question to the hosts, what obscure, niche subject would you absolutely kick ass at teaching?
Maz
Additionally, for the bonus episodes, are there any conditions on movies which you wouldn't watch other than "Not really interested"? Like are there movies which are otherwise too notorious, popular, good or bad?

If you had to translate any film 1 to 1 into the cars universe what would it be?
Kill James Bond!
She handed them out! I've got the 'Kill' and 'Devon' ones. Theyre so good
Lucien Dobel-Ober
What books have we been reading..? (For business or pleasure, good or evil etc.) Big fan of Left on Read btw..!
Lizzie LaHaie
Are there any Drops you catch yourself repeating in conversation outside the podcast?
Maz
I gave November some cross-stitch and forgot to tell her to hand everyone their own ones, was it self explanatory that they were intended as a group present, or does she still have one which says "Devon" on it and one which says "Abi"?
Jordan Lamb
You’ve established the concept of “guy I love to see” as explicitly someone you don’t really think about until they show up. Do you have any character actors in mind who are the opposite, the “guy I am hoping to see”?

Big fan of the content so far. You guys do a great job and are fantastic entertainment for when i have nothing to do at work. How do you think you are going to go about doing liveshows in the future? Are you going to be limiting them to special series like you did with the Austin powers ones, or special episodes like the end of Bond one? Any plans to try and revisit a No notes Bond on a liveshow perhaps? Anyway, love the work you all put in and hope i can go to one of the liveshows in the future. Separate question for Alice (November? Not sure if that name is out of Playtest yet), can you unblock me on twitter, my boyfriend sent me one of your tweets and i want to see what it was, Thank you.

Aaaaand I am just stopping by to recommend the Québécois movie C.R.A.Z.Y. for a potential bonus, starring a beloved recently passed french canadian actor Michel Côté

What is the sickest-looking weapon you've ever seen in a movie/on the show, that you'd want to try?

Why do you think the 1960s in particular were such a fertile ground for spy capers?
Billie Ash
Have you three ever thought of doing a little ttrpg one shot? Maybe following three black halflings use of Paradox Perfect, but playing past/present/future bonds?

Is there a way to make you watch the Series 1 Man from UNCLE episode »The Strigas Affair« (after the strike) featuring: Ilia dressed as an baddie spy and Trotsky impersonator and Bill Shatener and Leonard Nimoy (guy i like to see[as someones number 2])?
Erin Atlas
Just another recommendation for the film Kate with Mary Elizabeth Winstead

If the podcast were to award The Flying Cunt Star as a decoration for gallantry in service to pussy, who amongst the back catalogue would be nominated?
Ctolm [the t is silent]
The poster for this practically makes itself: The Chimp and Devon back to back wearing aviators and matching rompers set against a backdrop of a world gone mad.
Ctolm [the t is silent]
The laws of narrative closure teach us that every great rivalry must have at least one team up. What kind of crisis could cause you to join forces with The Chimp? Could you trust The Chimp not to check your perimeter before the mission was accomplished?
Paul Barratt
Which spy movie archetypes do you think each of you embodies the most? Also, which KJB awards do you think you would be awarded?

Asa Linson
In any film that you've watched for the podcast, what role would you most want to play and why? Feel free to go full spray bottle.
Borbachev
Who are some people you HATE to see? I don't mean in a cancelled way, I mean names that if you see it attached to a project, you know going in the entire project is going to be dogshit
HHH
Talking about eurospy: have any of you ever seen The Avengers tv series with Patrick McKnee & Diana Rigg as John Steed and Emma Peel, and if so how SCUMy do you think the average episode is?
Miguel Claxton
You are doomed to direct a satire of masculinity what is the premise and how do you stop dudes from idolizing the protagonist
Ylld
Given how much political/artistic/critical overlap there is between DnD people and podcast people, have you ever thought of asking the folks from Three Black Halflings or Dimension 20 on for some SCUM analysis?
Dominica Nicholls
Are there any plans for future seasons or are you winging it?

Is it possible to have a spy / action movie that gets a 0 in all categories or is the genre defined by its sexism, misogyny, violence and has to have at least one category for its intended audience?
Rufus Dean
Abi and Alice, you can be transported to any point in cinema history with a guaranteed job as an actor at the height of any genre of film (westerns, noir, eurospy, 80's action etc), what genre would you build a career in? Devon, I'd ask you as well but we all know it'd be the height of Hong Kong kung fu films so what have you had for breakfast?
Fred Carson

Which country/part of the world would you 1) wanna see as the setting for a realistic, really good spy movie, and 2) which one would you want to Do A Silly One in? (The Man From……)
Witch Bitch
Are you going to watch all the euro-spy movies in their original languages or in the English dub?
Alex Twinspark
Which of the many characters that you've covered on the show could you beat in a fight and which ones could you not? You may use weapons, but only shit ones
Calum Brown
Long time listener; first time caller. If you were to run the Kill James Bond podcast through a science-based system, say maybe the SCUM system, what results would it get?

Which Pony could you take in a fight? Which would be the most dangerous?
