Best of Worst of British

BOndWOB #04 - Quantum of Solace (2008)

After Daniel Craig's more serious take on Bond, after the invisible car silliness of Die Another Day, led to a classic of the series in 2006's Casino Royale. As is so often the case, the producers double down on the seriousness and the Bourne-inspired shaky cam action. But it all turns into a bit of a mess. Joining Lorcan and Thom is the comedian and writer Tom Mayhew ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

BOndWOB #03 - Die Another Day (2002) (with Andy Hughes)

In many ways, Pierce Brosnan was the perfect physical emobodiment of what James Bond would look like if you were asked to imagine him. But his legacy is at best a mixed bag, and Die Another Day was a very unfortunate way for him to have to bow out. For this episode, Lorcan and Thom are joined by Andy Hughes of the Dinosaur Man podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/dinosaur-man/id964630457 ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

BOndWOB #02 - Octopussy (1983) (with Mary Flanigan)

Roger Moore may be the most easily ridiculed Bond, but he is also the man who proved that Bond could continue and thrive without Sean Connery in the title role, which means he more than anyone else is probably the reason why the film series has gone on for as long as it has, and will continue to do so for the forseeable future. Unfortunately, Moore stuck around far too long, and is a visibly crackly man of his mid-fifties by the time this frequently ludicrous caper involving a team of lady ninjas that may have originally been gap year students, undercover clown costumes, and the bright idea of flying a hot air balloon of the union jack invading Indian territory. Joining Lorcan and Thom this time is the wonderful comedian Mary Flanigan. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
