Die Another Day

Die Another Day

2025-11-0601:23:39

Die Another Day means we're back to Bond from our latest Halloween break! But the question remains, how many more of these are we going to have to watch? At this point, this is Pierce Brosnan's last movie. It sure feels like the final Broccoli family movie for a Bond actor. (BAD!) But are there at least some charming moments? Is Halle Berry a good Bond girl? Will the Matrix influence this movie at all?! Will we watch more James Bond movies even though Ethan has started to see more of them? All these questions will be answered in this action-packed podcast episode!

Bring Her Back

Bring Her Back

2025-10-3001:19:21

Bring Her Back, one of the latest Danny and Michael Philippou horror movies to hit the streets! Sally Hawkins plays an adoptive mother who has just gotten two new kids, Piper and Andy, but something is off about her. And something is even more off about her currently adopted son, who doesn't say anything, but stares at you and eats his own scabs. Andy must try and survive until his 18th birthday, when he can take his sister and him away from this creepy lady. Mike wasn't a fan of these brothers' first horror movie, Talk to Me, but maybe this one turns him around!

Together

Together

2025-10-2301:04:04

Together is just like this podcast. We can't stop being away from each other, so that's why we have 553 episodes now. Although we wouldn't drink water from a questionable cave! That's for sure. Even if it didn't get you a body horror like a curse where our skin wanted to fuse, you could get a horrible sickness from it! At the end of the podcast, I said I'd post a photo that's a spoiler, so click here if you want to see what happens at the end of the movie!

Dude Bro Party Massacre III

Dude Bro Party Massacre III

2025-10-1601:18:53

Dude Bro Party Massacre III is the first in a trilogy of movies (that never existed) about Delta Bi! Created as a parody movie by 5-second films back in 2015, the Other Half tackles a comedy movie, which they haven't done in quite some time. This fraternity gets sent to a sorority house because they caused two passenger planes to crash. Unfortunately, they're haunted by Mother Face, who loves making puns every time she kills someone! Does this 10-year-old comedy hold up?

The Gingerdead Man

The Gingerdead Man

2025-10-0901:00:23

It's been a while since we've seen just a straight-up poorly made movie, but we've finally arrived at The Gingerdead Man for this Halloween season. Still mourning her tiddy-obsessed brother, Sarah somehow bakes a cookie with her brother's killer's ashes, bringing him to life in gingerbread form. The killer is, of course, played by Gary Busey. Along with the help of Sarah's bully, Lorna and Lorna's boyfriend Amos, they work together to try and stop this terrifying spiced cookie.

Playroom

Playroom

2025-10-0257:05

We're taking a break from our Bond marathon and are diving into our annual Spooktacular series for October! We can't let Bond hold back from our scary movies.Playroom is a movie Mike picked out because he saw Christopher McDonald starred in this movie early in his career. Plus, reviews said it was surprisingly good despite how awful the cover art is.

The World is Not Enough

The World is Not Enough

2025-09-2502:12:16

For their final appearance, NotTheHoneyBees had to chat about The World is Not Enough. This movie has maybe the biggest gap in quality between the two Bond girls ever. First, you have the incredible Sophie Marceau as Elektra King, a mysterious and chic femme fatale. Then you have Denise Richards as Christmas Jones, who is one of the least convincing nuclear scientists you could find, and is mostly there to elicit Christmas puns about her.Also, this movie wants us to root for an oil pipeline, which is a REAL hard sell in this day and age.Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Tomorrow Never Dies

Tomorrow Never Dies

2025-09-1801:24:42

Tomorrow Never Dies is where we're told that Pierce Brosnan's golden era ends. It was super short-lived, apparently! This movie has Bond take on a giant, corrupt media mogul. Armed with a cool remote-controlled car, it's Bond against the world, and a Chinese secret agent played by Michelle Yeoh. Do we agree this is a bad movie, or are we going to be the contrarians!! Look at us potentially defending a Bond movie! What have we become?

GoldenEye

GoldenEye

2025-09-1101:47:00

The boys have finally entered the Pierce Brosnan era with GoldenEye! After a long time, Mike and Ethan have finally gotten to a Bond movie they've both seen. Will it hold up or change Mike's mind about how much he hated this movie at the time? Will Pierce Brosnan live up to the hype of their childhood nostalgia? There are so many questions as we enter a whole new era of this Bond edition of Watch Til You Can't!

Licence to Kill

Licence to Kill

2025-09-0401:34:19

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watch the last Timothy Dalton film, Licence to Kill. It's weird that we just got Timothy Dalton and he's already going the way of George Lazenby. (But has a career afterwards). It's mostly weird because this may be one of the best Bond films to exist. Maybe it's because it shakes the formula up and makes Bond care about something else besides just Queen and Country. Or maybe because sharks are cool, and so is electrocuting people with electric eels! Also, please can he get a shoutout for all the Remington Steele fans out there??

The Living Daylights

The Living Daylights

2025-08-2801:41:30

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watch the first Timothy Dalton film, The Living Daylights. Bond is back and grittier than ever. We also got a new Felix, we got a new villain, we got a new Moneypenny, but we have the same old Q. This movie also has John Rhys-Davies playing a top Russian general. Is My Dalton the relief we've been looking for from the Roger Moore films?

A View to a Kill

A View to a Kill

2025-08-2102:19:06

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys and HoneyBees watched the final Roger Moore movie, A View to a Kill! Roger Moore would have gone out with a bang, but he's completely overshadowed by Mayday, played by Grace Jones. Even the actual Bond girl in this movie is but a BLIP in the marketing artwork. Grace Jones is just that good. Pair her with Christopher Walken and you've got yourself one of the best pairs of villians you can find in a Bond film. Well at least since Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd! But how is it actually as a movie? Is the plot good? Are the action scenes compelling? We get into all of this in more in one of our longest episodes for the podcast EVER!

Never Say Never Again

Never Say Never Again

2025-08-1401:38:05

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched an unofficial Bond movie starring Sean Connery! He's back and showing that he can still keep up with the latest James Bond, Roger Moore. This movie is a remake of Thunderball and is going for a much different tone than what the EON films were trying to go for. Gone are a lot of Bond's signature trademarks, including an opening of a dude walking into a gun barrel. But what we're left with instead is a movie directed by Irvin Kershner, who made The Empire Strikes Back. Is this set up to be one of the best James Bond films?

Octopussy

Octopussy

2025-08-0701:31:28

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched two different halves of (sigh) Octopussy. It's time for the worst-named James Bond film we've ever seen. But it does have the circus in it and feels like an Indiana Jones movie at times! Bond is sent to figure out what's up with these fake Faberge Eggs and how they are connected to Russia wanting to take a land grab in Europe. Ethan also struggles with his memory and his notes about how a particular 00 agent dies. This feels like the second to last Roger Moore film in more ways than one, mostly the lack of budget. The 80s were crazy.

For Your Eyes Only

For Your Eyes Only

2025-07-3101:28:25

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched two different halves of For Your Eyes Only! The movie where the Bond folks realized you gotta reduce the scope of your movie after going to space. Ethan and Mike dive into the 12th Bond movie, which is all about diving underwater, Greek artifacts and Topal! An evil plot to collect the Automatic Targeting Attack Communicator (ATAC) from getting into the hands of the KGB. Lots of great little details in this movie with an amazingly cool set piece for the final battle. Maybe these Bond movies are having a turn for the better?

Moonraker

Moonraker

2025-07-2402:15:56

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched two different halves of Moonraker! The movie where the producers saw how successful Star Wars was, and wanted one of those. Ethan and Mike are joined by Chris, AKA lvl_hed or figure_head, depending on the day, who is a massive James Bond fan with a planet-sized amount of knowledge about each movie. Chris suggested this movie because it's peak James Bond. It certainly is the highest altitude James Bond. Bond is tasked with tracking down missing space shuttles made by billionaire Elon Musk Hugo Drax, which leads to an epic space adventure! It even has a favorite henchman, Jaws, returning once again. Chris was right, this movie has it all.

The Spy Who Loved Me

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched two different halves of The Spy Who Loved Me, a movie about a villain trying to monopolize the underwater city industry!Roger Moore accidently teams up with *sigh* Agent XXX from Russia to stop these nuclear subs from being stolen. Turns out tho, he may have killed her husband without knowing! Will this cause a rift in their relationship if she ever finds out? Or will Bond be suave as heck and smooth it all over?This movie also features one of the coolest Bond gadgets ever: the car submarine.Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
The Man With The Golden Gun

The Man With The Golden Gun

2025-07-1001:20:25

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched two different halves of The Man With The Golden Gun, which features Christopher Lee with three whole nipples! Roger Moore is chasing an elite assassin who seems to be threatening Bond. It leads to a whole bunch of twists and turns and a trip to China and Bangkok! Also, we learned a lot about Queen Elizabeth, the ship, and the actual queen. Shout-outs to Nick Nack, the best part of the movie! Plus, this movie has a great little fun house section that seems like it was created by a demented Walt Disney.

Live and Let Die

Live and Let Die

2025-07-0301:27:01

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched two different halves of Live and Let Die, which finally stars a new Bond, Roger Moore. Live and Let Die is about voodoo and New Orleans and all the things you wonder why British Bond is over here helping. But it does have one of the craziest villain deaths of all time, plus Crocodiles and Alligators! Roger Moore is an interesting Bond and is playing it completely differently than how Sean Connery played him. It's an interesting twist and it seems like we have a lot more movies ahead with him!

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched two different halves of Diamonds are Forever and are joined once again by the Bond expert HoneyBees! Watch Til You Can't continues with a brand new- wait Sean Connery is back? Oh my god, they are doubling down on the misogyny, gadgets, and cheesy one-liners. Plus Bond goes to Vegas, and as we know from almost every film franchise ever, when a character goes to Vegas it's one of the best movies in the franchise!
