James Bond & Friends Podcast

https://podcast.mi6-hq.com/

I've listened to this podcast for a year, but recently since the pandemic they've been doing lBond watchalongs with many prolific Bond fans (James Page, Calvin Dyson, Bill Koenig, Lisa Funnell, Ben Williams, David Leigh, etc) providing commentary of the films together live. So far (in this order) they've covered DN, DAD, MR, LTK, QOS, FYEO, GE, TLD, SF, FRWL, OHMSS, TWINE, DAF, and TND. I only just finished GE.

One good episode that was fun to listen to was the idea if Craig's second film was LALD instead of 2008, and how that would have been updated in 2008, like who would have been cast (I always felt BIG could been perfectly cast with Michael Clarke Duncan) with the villains actually being connected to the Ugandan terrorists in CR, and if they would have ever followed Tom Mankiewicz idea of casting an African American as Solitaire (if so, Thandie Newton would have been my pick).

I'll try and check it out.

Bit disappointed CASINOROYALE isn't on the commentary team though...

poor swine probably doesn't know how to work electricity yet.

I'll have to check some of these out MP. A LALD Craig...intrigues.

"I don't get it, why aren't there explosions and motorcycle chases in Dr. No??? Why doesn't Bond mow down the chinamen with machine guns???"

"why didn't Roger Moore just bang Stacy that night he stayed over, why is he such a pussy? IS HE NOW GAY???"

"why didn't Lee Tamawhorey direct more Bond???"

'Why didn't Connery just play Bond without a wig? Being bald is fine!'

LTK ending

"this is stupid, Bond should have convinced BOTH girls into a threesome!"

Did I miss something? Who's CR?

Briefly put, CASINOROYALE was an absolute bloody idiot on the board that this forum spun off from.

Ah! It seems every board has a few of those. I know of a good number from other boards I'm still on.

I have never really known much if anything about BAB's early days. Come to think of it I don't know how exactly I stumbled on here. I think it was after I was on AJB007 for a time and then somehow was out walking my rat and seemed to have lost my way.

The watchalong for TWINE pointed out something that I wasn't consciously aware of: Brosnan touches his face, A LOT. To the point you could make a drinking game out of it. It may be the only way I could watch it.
