On Her Majesty's Secret Service - Supplement

 While we try to cover as much as we can in our episodes, there's always more to see, hear, and read about a movie that can enhance your viewing experience. If you enjoyed our episode on On Her Majesty's Secret Service, here's a few extra bits you might find interesting...


Episode 106: On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Our license to kill is renewed as Bob Chipman returns to discuss George Lazenby's sole outing as 007, the divisive On Her Majesty's Secret Service. We compare Lazenby's take on James Bond to Sean Connery's, debate whether Telly Savalas is the best Blofeld, and speculate on what audiences thought of the movie's notorious ending. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and the birth of a new Bond villain... Goldbum!!!

Fantasy Casting: Psycho

In our latest edition of Fantasy Casting, we follow up our previous episode on Psycho with special guest Kyle Brunet by presenting our selections for who we would like to see star in a modern version of the film. Listen as we poach actors from the Spider-man movies, discuss the complications of increasing the story's diversity through casting, and continue the age-old debate of whether the film really needs that psychologist character. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and no Vince Vaughn.
