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

For anyone else looking for the CBC clip: https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-52-radio-active/clip/15853303-movie-podcasts
Thank you so much for posting this link!
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
Came here just to check out the episode art. That guy does look like Luigi.
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!
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.)
Oh my the return of 'hauntology!'
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/
SKI FIGHT! SKI FIGHT! SKI FIGHT!
This movie's last scene hits me like the last scene in A Mighty Wind.
No Wikipedia entry? We can fix that...
please I need to find the source of that CBC clip
This is the best intro you've done so far
I need to know where the opening clip of people talking about the podcast came from
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.
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
