Brace yourselves. Shane and Andrew watch the 1967 James Bond comedy Casino Royale, starring David Niven, Ursula Andress, and, theoretically, Peter Sellers. It's an absolute mess, but is it an entertaining, glamorous, queer mess? Listen and find out.
Warning: This episode contains Woody Allen.
Pride Month is here and it's time for another camp classic with a Bond leading man! This time it's Pierce Brosnan's turn to humiliate himself as he honks his way through the ABBA jukebox musical Mamma Mia!
Spy spoof movie season continues on Kiss Kiss Bang Bang with Leslie Nielsen's Spy Hard. It's a dumb movie, but is it somehow better than Johnny English, the dumb movie from the actual Bond movie writers?
Spy spoof season continues with Rowan Atkinson's Bond parody -- from the actual writers of the Bond movies. Treason!
We're kicking off our countdown to the last Austin Powers movie by checking out some other classic spy spoofs from the 90s and beyond, starting with 2015's Paul Fiege comedy Spy, starring Melissa McCarthy.
Shane and Andrew provide live commentary as their gaymer friends Jomar and Levi play the re-released GoldenEye 007 on the Nintendo Switch. It was a game that revolutionized the first person shooter, but how does it hold up today, and how closely does it evoke the GoldenEye movie and the world of Bond?
We've watched the movies based on the novel, now it's time for the novel based on the screenplay, Ian Fleming (and friends') 1961 novel Thunderball, perhaps the horniest of the Bond novels.
Thunderball is such a classic, Sean Connery made it twice. It didn't work out so great the second time. Shane and Andrew explore the strange story of Never Say Never Again, the unofficial Bond movie that almost created a new franchise.
Roger Moore is The Chief in the iconic classic of British cinema, Spice World. Is it a Bond movie? Probably not. Is it a good movie? Possibly not. Is it an amazing experience and well worth your time? Listen and find out!
Henry Cavill may never be Bond -- but maybe he's played the part already, or pretty close to it. Shane and Andrew check out the once-and-future Superman's 60s spy thriller The Man from UNCLE (co-starring aspiring celebrity cannibal Armie Hammer), with Cavill in the very Bond-esque role of Ian Fleming's Napoleon Solo.
The last Roger Moore Bond movie (and the last Lois Maxwell Bond movie) gets the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang whiplash treatment as Shane and Andrew try to decide if they love or hate this movie. One thing is for sure; Grace Jones as May Day reigns supreme.
Did Michael Mann make a secret Bond movie with the 1996 action extravaganza The Rock, starring Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage? We investigate this popular fan theory, offer our assessment, and make a shocking discovery: Is No Time To Die a Stanley Goodspeed movie?
Michelle Yeoh steals the show and Jonathan Pryce devours the furniture in a late 90s tale of media manipulation, Tomorrow Never Dies. It's one of Shane's favourites. It's one of Andrew's... not favourites. Hit play to pump us for more information.
He's the man who almost destroyed James Bond -- and maybe created the roadmap for Bond's reinvention. Shane and Andrew revisit 2002's The Bourne Identity to complain about baggy sweaters, appreciate Matt Damon's twunkishness, and explain how the Bourne movies tie into Zoolander.
Shane and Andrew continue their rundown of Fleming's original novels with Dr. No, the book that became the first Bond movie! There's a centipede, a squid, some crabs, a lot of talk about roseate spoonbills, and a GOSHDARN DRAGON!
How big is Big? Is King our queen? Will we say yes to No? What is the importance of being Ernst? Join Shane and Andrew as they rate the Bond movie bad guys from worst to best... at being worst.
Shane and Andrew turn their attention to the 1986 Penny Marshall spy comedy Jumpin' Jack Flash, starring Whoopi Goldberg and featuring fleeting cameos by just about every 80s TV comedian. It's a gas gas gas.
Ten years on from the release of the middle child of Craig Bond movies, we look back on Skyfall to see how it holds up, from Academy Award-winning song to dodgy CGI komodos.
Tamara Dobson returns as Cleopatra Jones in a Blaxploitation spy movie that takes the drugs-busting action to Hong Kong. There are pleasant surprises in store, and some incredible fashions, but the villain is just as problematic as last time!
Continuing the series of dream-casting episodes, Shane and Andrew reveal who they would cast in new adaptations of Diamonds Are Forever and From Russia With Love, taking their lead from the novels but adding some fresh twists!
