When he was describing Stromberg's look, I so badly wanted Ben to know that he has webbed, fish-like fingers that were barely seen in the movie, caused from genetic mutations. I think he would have liked that.

FYI, currently I’m listening to the Podcast: The Ride episode about Dive, as recommended by Griffin, and they get to talking about Phantom Menace all-star Senator Grebleips by the 10-minute mark. Amazing

Jack o Diamonds

Jurassic commentaries would be the most fun!!

Josh Harvey

Brock Sampson and Race Bannon! I woke up to say this…zzzzzzzzz

Cubby Broccoli’s claim that he is descended from the family that cultivated broccoli is dubious and his belief that his family first brought broccoli to the US is contradicted by the fact that it was known to be planted almost a century prior. But print the legend I guess.

I was surprised they didn't talk about her more. She was iconic and in so many great roles.

Dean Eaton

Moore was the first Bond to appear in a tuxedo in the gun barrel, in this movie. Dalton & Brosnan did likewise.

Will Rogers

Watched last night and just started pod… are they gonna realize how much it is influenced by—uh— Jaws?! I had forgotten how blatant it is. As a kid in the 80s watching it on vhs I was like oh haha the bad guys name is Jaws and he bites people, but this is 2 years after JAWS and so obviously going for it. Just hilarious at the beginning of pod they’re like, this is the least gimmicky and not pulling from stuff. It is an awesomely enjoyable movie though.

Kevin Sharon

Me waiting for the moment in this series that Ben finds out that the producer’s family invented broccoli insert sickos dot jpg

Joshua Ochoa

Honestly have been finding all these Moore movies really meh and forgettable…except for Jaws!

Richard Copping

“he’s got eyebrows, y’know”

Billnetherlands

I was yelling "Maurice Jarre" at the podcast. lol.

Michael Guarnieri

That’s why it’s past tense!

Dustin

I need Ben asking “Would you fuck with that?” as a clip stat

Rad Rodge

As if it’s some very general and elastic term

Any time Griffin says “big chungus” as indeed he does in this episode, I always remember one time in some Marvel commentary where he said of Thanos “I’m a chungus, I’m hard to punch,” which makes me laugh my ass off every time I think of it. The funniest thing to me for some reason is Griffin saying “chungus” without any adjectives in front of it

Rad Rodge

David analyzing British looks has been such a gift

Will Dowdle

ben pointing out that bond hooks up with someone after like a minute reminds me of a running bit in the kill james bond podcast where they keep track of which bond girl he hooks up with the fastest (i forget the record but i believe it was under a minute)

Daniel A. Barron

Gotta say, this was a lot more fun than the last two Moore’s. And no J.W. Pepper is a big plus!

Daniel A. Barron

Good reference.

Chas

Shaken martinis are the way to go 🍸

Ian

The hairy-shouldered faux-Bond in the cold open is the fore-mentioned Michael Billington, who was considered for Bond. He’s great in the TV series UFO.

Norman Normalperson

This mini series is really making the case for Ben to be handed the reins for the next Bond movie.

Jamesdillenbeck

These Bond's have been so comfy, the patreon really is overall. David's quick breakdown of British good looks is still playing in my brain and it has indeed been too long since Ben created a character. Das Boot rules. And Zach Cherry is frankly hot and amazing please get him on LOL

John Halski

“Das Boot” … actual LOLz!

Stewart Wattson

GIRL/HENCH TRIVIA: The Helicopter Pilot, Naomi, was played by B Movie legend and as stone cold a fox as ever walked the Earth Caroline Monroe. Perhaps her most recognizable role was in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad. She also had a bit part in the original Casino Royale.

Tiago Augusto Souza Barreiro

That would have been too much of a humble brag.

Stewart Wattson

BOND CAR TRIVIA: The Lotus company heard they were looking for a new Bond car. So they parked Esprits in each direction the Broccolis could walk from their offices to ensure they would see one.

Adam Purcell

I'm right there with you, weird BYU shit ftw.

Andy Wilson

I'm so glad "soaking" finally made it to the podcast. 1990s Andy who lived in Provo and went to BYU is loving that joke that might be just for me. Thank you.
