Hello! Long time listener, first time poster. 1. James Bond is not the first, or nearly the last, of it's type of series, yet it's the only one to succeed in maintaining both critical and commercial success (relatively) across several decades. After having watched so many similar movies/long running series, why do you think they failed while it still persists? 2. (Specifically for Abigail) After working behind the scenes on many acting projects, have any of your views changed regarding the behind the scenes stories that have come out about the movies you have watched so far? 3. When you try to enact a supervillain plot, what will be your supervillain ransom?

My egg cracked fully open yesterday (the 19th) and I was gonna type a huge rambly thing asking about your experiences, until I realized it was a cleverly disguised pile of self-doubt and anxiety. I still have a ramble, and two questions, but hopefully they’re better than my first couple drafts. I woke up yesterday morning thinking "i'm not a girl but it's close enough" and I went to bed knowing that I am a man. All the metaphors I’ve been thinking of to describe myself are about falling in love. It’s even helped me understand why I’ve recently been so sad that my older brother has been dead for twelve years. It’s not that he and I won’t get to know each other as adult brother and sister. It’s that we never got to know each other as brothers. It’s a very different grief than I thought it was, but understanding it makes it so much easier to bear.I'm having so many realizations like this. Thank you for your focus on trans joy. I am truly gender euphoric. My questions are: 1. What are things that helped you through your moments of doubt in the early days of your gender journey, and are they the same things that help you through moments of doubt now? 2. I feel a little frightened at the intensity of the joy I am feeling as I process everything. Does that even out as I live more as myself, or is this a Grinch situation where my heart gets bigger and more able to hold that joy within it? Also congrats to your Hedwig episode for starting the round of self-discovery where I actually discovered the thing. Delighted that if the day should come when KJB does truly end, I can eulogize it as it deserves. By tweeting “rip kill james bond, you taught me it was okay to be weird <3”

In the recent past it feels like there has been an increased prevalence of the female led action flick (eg Charlize Theron in Atomic Blonde, Charlize Theron in Old Guard, Charlize Theron in MadMax).

Have you thought about looking into the First Blood/Rambo movies for the podcast?

Hi! Big fan of the show. This might be a silly question but it's something I'm genuinely curious about. Why are there not clips of KJB on Youtube in the same way other shows have? Does it just not have a large enough video editor fanbase or is it something that you actually don't care about having? Would having a compilation of a bit make the bit weaker? I think I'm probably just overthinking this, but when I'm trying to show someone a bit from the show, I do find it strange it does not have bits already edited together like something like a mcelroy or a drawfee. I was wondering if it was maybe a conscious choice to not have them. Or it just hasn't happened naturally.
