Episode 12: For Your Eyes Only

Sublight Monster

This was my first ever Bond film, and I’m sincerely happy that you enjoyed it

Michael Tonus

Coming back to this like, a year later, I just want to comment that I find it so funny when James Bond fans try to explain the delicatessen thing sincerely, and I have to be like, "yes, I understand the concept of owning a restaurant business, and even the advantages of stainless steel surfaces for food preparation, but why, specifically, does the head of an international terrorist organization offer to bribe a British secret agent with a deli? Can we please just all agree that it's fuckin' weird?"

I'm going to miss your roger moore impressions when you move on to Dalton

Speaking of a spy movie where the cast is old, have you ever seen RED with Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Bruce Willis?

I love how you just glossed over the "soaks himself in brown wood stain for days to look non-white" part as if that's not the most deranged thing ever.

I only vaguely remember the short story this is based on, but from what I do remember it's wild. Bond soaks himself for days in brown wood stain to look non-white for the assassination mission he's on to kill von Hammerstein, there's a long digression about how much better he finds the civilian rubber-soled boots he's wearing and how the military should adopt them over leather soles, and the archery-revenge-murder-during-pool-dive absolutely still happens

I love the the dreaded 'Heaven's Gate' makes a surprise cameo at the end of the pod 😂

i always expect alice to chuck in an obscure reference out of nowhere but the abel ferrara mention still threw me a bit

Drew Flanagan

The pun is even more frustrating in French (it's just pronounced ontology). By design, Derrida loved that shit (différance as opposed to différence, etc.)

Antti Helin

Came here just to check out the episode art. That guy does look like Luigi.

You Bet Your Bippy, I'm Now A Policy Wonk!

In your non-UK listerners' defence, it did take me several episodes to realise that the word was 'hauntology.' With the variety of accents on this show, I did spend a good amount of time looking up "ontology," "orntology," and because it is this show "horn-tology." Got therein the end!

You Bet Your Bippy, I'm Now A Policy Wonk!

Oh my the return of 'hauntology!'

Dana Himrich

Another viciously funny episode. The "random stupid drop" button is a thing of great power and I can't decide if it should be pressed every five seconds or sealed away to protect the rest of the world. An interesting bit of trivia about the "blonde MILF": that actress, Cassandra Harris, was technically a real-life Bond Girl. She was Pierce Brosnan's first wife (though she didn't live to see him cast as Bond, sadly).

Have you heard of the live action Disney malaise years, Condorman? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082199/

Liz and Ash in Florida. It's very hot! Climate change will kill us all.

SKI FIGHT! SKI FIGHT! SKI FIGHT!

This movie's last scene hits me like the last scene in A Mighty Wind.

Harry Brennan

No Wikipedia entry? We can fix that...

Hannah Oberhardt

please I need to find the source of that CBC clip

khaliqtessi

From Alice's comments, it may have come from the CBC in Canada, but my google search has not turned up any results. I'd like to know where this is from as well.

This is the best intro you've done so far

Upthorn

I need to know where the opening clip of people talking about the podcast came from

Honestly this is one of the best Bond films and I’m glad it’s tied with the next best bond film on the SCUM spectrum! If there’s still spots on the bonus film suggestion list, I’d offer Spy (the 2015 one) or Chicken Run, cause at least one of them is a good film :p
