The Spy Who Loved Me

 

It's time for our latest mission with 007 as Bob Chipman joins us again for a globe-trotting mission with The Spy Who Loved Me. Listen as we discuss how the franchise tries to create a more proactive Bond girl in the form of female lead Anya Amasova, make note of Bond's best quips and gadgets for this entry, and question Bond's status as a 'secret' agent. Warning: Contains explicit language, furniture, and strangely anatomical villain furniture.

Our theme song is "Nostalgia TV" by Edward Jonathan Blakeley through Lynne Publishing.

Live and Let Die

Bob 'Moviebob' Chipman joins us for another outing with James Bond, but this time we all get Moore than we bargained for... Roger Moore, as we take on one of the most offensive films of the 007 series with the blaxploitation-influenced thriller Live and Let Die. Listen as we grapple with the movie's incredibly racist plot and characters, take aim at Moore's portrayal of the venerable super-spy, and ponder why the filmmakers decided an obnoxious redneck sheriff should serve as the film's comic relief. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and lots of poorly-served character actors.

Episode 94: You Only Live Twice


Welcome to Japan, Mr. Bond, and welcome back Bob Chipman for our annual assignment with 007 as we dive into an active volcano of racism and cultural malfeasance with the fifth James Bond adventure, You Only Live Twice. Listen as we discuss the series' forays into science fiction, the worst spy disguise ever put to film, and the viability of a James Bond theme park. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and one pissed off cat.
