QUESTIONS FOR Q&A 4
We are coming up on the recording of Episode 25.5, which is due to be released on the 25th of January. As this is ten bonuses after the last Q&A, it's time to once again ask you, the wonderful, beautiful, baying masses: Whaddaya wanna know?
Questions will be selected for the episode in a few days by Devon, so do bear in mind the kind of thing that will catch their attention (One particularly memorable question was about what you would say to a whale that could understand english). Sky's the limit!

Apologies if something similar has been asked before (but I doubt it).

Okay we gotta do it again: F/M/K Dalton/Craig/Brosnan? Also maybe a winner’s bracket edition between them and the old ones.
Why, in the Bond movies, don’t any of the characters ever lie? I mean, there are fake IDs, cosmetic surgeries, etc, but every character always tells the truth, even the mastermind villains. Curious to hear the ladies’ thoughts.

Shit, only 4 bond films left! What do we, your real-life friends, need to do to convince you to stay on and watch bizarre animated movies with increasingly tenuous spy themes forever?

If James Bond wasn't a narc what do you think he'd do for a living?
Since the episode will be released one day before the 26th, can you say "fuck Australia Day". It always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land. [Australia Day is the anniversary of the first invasion fleet reaching Sydney Cove (not landing on Australia, that happened a few days earlier). For obvious reasons a lot of people think this is not something to be celebrated. 234 years of genocide, white supremacism, English people living here, et cetera...] From a Romani living in the territory known as Australia. P.S. fuck the Tories for taking away our traditional camping sites in the UK.
So we know what M and Q do at MI6; what do you think some of the other letters are up to? Personally I think R is probably head of catering.

The Bond franchise is, politically, pretty dang bad. What do you think is the worst franchise, though, and are there any relatively good ones? The Kingsmen series, I must say, is so bad it makes Bond look like leftist propaganda in comparison.
What is your favorite scent?
suppose in order to tank the bond franchise for good that you were in charge of casting the next bond. who would you cast that you think a: you could reasonably be allowed to get by the studio (so no "my cousin who can't act" answers) and b: would do bond so poorly (for however you'd like to interpret "poorly") that your bond actor is the last bond actor?
Xenia Onatopp vs. Fatima Blush: Go. (Sorry Devon, feel free to go get a drink or something and come back)

Two parter! A:/ you contract a virus that is as contagious as covid, with no cure (yet) and makes you just as miserable and sick, however, a side effect is that you are immortal. Immortal, but constantly sick. As is everyone that contracts the virus. What do? B:/ five years later, hooray! Bill Gates makes a Vaccine. The world is saved! This is also a cure for those who are already sick. However, a side effect of the *cure* is your life expectancy is less than ten years. Do you take it? What are your other considerations beside the immediate ones? Stay fruity. Love yers.
Of course, to make this completely Bond-adjacent, let’s say that the virus was released by Elon Stromfeld Bezos

SCUM system ranking and Goodnight Cross and Kronstein Rosette for Cars 2 and Spy Kids 2.
Say the producers continue the Bond franchise with Lashana Lynch or another non-straight-cis-white-male actor as a reinvented version of the character. Do you think that would give them anywhere new to go, creatively, or is the concept of a British secret agent action hero just too played out and irrelevant in today's world?

So we all know that Octopus (octopus’s, octopi, octopoda, take your pick) are going to take over the world as soon as they master flight. My question is, what would our octopus overlords think of James Bond? Would they make their own version of the franchise?

Much like how Brosnan’s Bond missed the events of 9/11 due to a combination of being tortured with scorpions and/or disassociating into an ABBA-themed fugue state, do you think that the global impacts of COVID will ever be acknowledged within the Bond universe? If so, will they receive any more attention beyond M muttering “the world has changed,” and, follow-up, what’s the funniest excuse Bond could have for being oblivious to the pandemic?
Who would be the the Dream actor to play Bond, Anyone during their prime, Ironic or serious? This can be any man, woman, non Gendered folk alive or dead.
