while Nobody Does It Better is the best Bond song, the second best is Tomorrow Never Dies also, I think the Die Another Day theme is slept on

Man, now I want Circus-pass.

THANK GOD. The one bit which should finally be allowed to die.

He didn't say the thing. He didn't say smell you later fart heads...

To answer Griffin’s question at 44:00, besides Australia the only major countries Bond has never been to are South Africa, Canada, and Argentina. Plus even though the Soviets are antagonists throughout the movies, Bond doesn’t actually go to Russia until the next and final Roger Moore movie A View To A Kill which came out in 1985. And in Die Another Die, the scenes at the ice palace are set in Iceland.

Ben, That's not a Wolf Spider bite, that's a Brown Recluse Spider bite. Wolf spider bites don't create a skin ulcer or nerve damage, but Brown Recluse Spider bites behave like that - they are both continental US spiders.

Not sure if I'm the only one who voted for Moore Bonds just to hear you say "Octopussy" 100 times, but mission accomplished. Thanks for the Octopussies, guys. You've really hit this one out of the Octopussy.

Hooo boy, only 25 minutes in but getting some real strong "Ben is blazed" vibe

Brings me great joy that Blank Check is a place where Drop The ____ It’s Cleaner is such an established joke that it could pop up at any moment discussing any topic

Korey Freeman

Just do the Brosnan Bonds, no bracket! I'm having so much fun watching these with you maniacs

Anthony Regina

I’m early in and Griff mentioning how it would be cool to see Bond in clown make-up and David replying “It would be pretty cool.” Has made me giddy in anticipation.

Look I admit to not watching this film… but at a certain point they looked up the twins on screen and Ben is surprised they are ‘real twins’…. How could they not be? What is a fake twin??

Ben Hosley exclaiming “The clown wuz 009!?” and fading off mike....made me laugh....so hard.

I was REALLY hoping that Bond was going to shoot the nuke out of the circus cannon to dispose of it

when the conversation turned to putting Lost episodes on an iPod, I shivered with recognition. a past me I had locked away. shame.

We’ve always enjoyed this one, especially the final car / circus train / bomb in the cannon antics. ANY spy movie that starts with a clown pursued by twin assassins who crashes through an embassy window with a Faberge egg clutched in his hands can’t be all bad.

1) Bond has famously never been to Canada 2) Diamonds are Forever has at least one slot machine scene, with Q, and possibly one with Tiffany Case as well. I'd love for the boys to watch this as part of the series because it really is a Moore movie in spirit.

Antho

could rly use some dynamic range compression on this ep at least at the beginning. very quiet…then very loud (partic. David) …then quiet. I know you’re just getting used to the new digs but it’s tricky listening. Love you anyway tho
