Episode 13: Octopussy
No joke I could make here about the name 'Octopussy' is any funnier than their actual canonical explanation for it.
They're running low on former crown colonies to innoculate with International Nonce of Mystery James Bond, so finally they have blighted the doorstep of India.
Bond and some other boring white guy fight on the subcontinent and everybody else has to deal with it.

After 5 years i can say that this episode has aged like a fine 13% plum and also here in the future its still Very very hot
I feel like General Orlov is the Big Soviet Roundtable’s version of Dr Strangelove.
Looking up Sheriff JW Pepper, Clifton James was around until passing away in 2017 at 97. He needed to have brought into all the Bond films.
The weird pronunciation of ‘Sit’ is from Barbara Woodhouse, a famous dog trainer from UK TV in the 80s, who punished dogs by pulling on a choke chain :(
'Ockham's razor on a yo-yo' was humanity's magnum opus.
Octo pussy/She's the pussy/The pussy who's an octopus....
I knew there was a word for womenbetalking.wav and I managed to find it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walla
You guys probably won't ever consider this, since it's not a movie, but it costs me nothing to drop a recommendation for the Star Trek episode "Our Man Bashir" which is a fun and cutting parody of the Bond films. Plenty of camp acting.
Obligatory Mumbai street food callback. Still haven't gotten over that one.
Is this where I complain about the SCUM system being debased and a scientific fraud? I notice that on at least two separate occasions, the grading exceeded 007. As a fucking sycophantic science gobbler, I demand to see the methodology of the scale!
Oh for a moment there because of the name font, I thought I had seen something like "ft. LIV AIGAR" while scrolling : (
that laugh drop at the end of the ep was perfect!
Never thought you'd miss J.W. Pepper but I stand wildly corrected. Also I will remember to ask you for the next Q&A what your fav Train Fight (tm) is.
I can’t sort out a rationale for it whatsoever, but this is the best podcast in the world. Nothing but pure, good, hilarious vibes
Every time some racist loser makes fun of foods like sheeps head in Asia or any other non-western country anywhere else they conveniently are unaware or forget that it's everywhere, like fucking Norway literally has sheeps head as a traditional dish as well lmao, not to mention Lutefisk
One word: Haggis. One word: Lutefisk.
Ok hear me out, it is in zero ways even bond adjacent, but purely for commentary on ludicrous and yet mind blowingly perfect elaborate fight scenes, bonus episode of crouching tiger hidden dragon
this is a movie about how James Bond hates to see a girlboss winning
A Swiss man dressed as Sherlock Holmes once told me he knew a "8-fotzige Babylonische Wanderhure" - in other words, an 8-pussied babylonian wandering whore.
Every good German socialist still calls Chemnitz Karl-Marx-Stadt. There is even a 7m (~23 ft, not counting the base) tall monument of Marx' head in the city center. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Marx_Monument
As is backing the DDR they shot 101 people for the crime of wanting to leave
Remind me Alfie how many people did the Nazis that West Germany rehabilitated shoot
Backing an authoritarian glorified military junta is a shit look
You're right. Full support for the dozens of people waving American flags in Cuba. We respect their brave stance against the millions of Cuban citizens who like their government. ¡Hasta la CIA siempre!
