FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who
play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London.
One woman has a secret, the other a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost.
FX's The Veil, starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+. This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network.

We are back by popular demand.
We're back for Tomorrow Never Dies.
We're back because it's a long franchise and people were like,
we don't want to have to think about another franchise
they could potentially do.
If you could just get this out of the way.
Just let it roll through and maybe they'll stop on their own. Well, too bad, we're't want to have to think about another franchise they could potentially do. If you could just get this out of the way. Just let it roll through and maybe they'll stop on their own.
Well, too bad.
We're not going to stop.
That's it.
Because we are the second movie into the Pierce Brosnan Bond run.
If you could leave a like, it's great.
If you can't leave a like, we don't care.
We don't need you.
No, we do.
Okay, edit that out then.
And you know I will.
Originally, this was actually called Tomorrow Never Lies.
Oh, yeah.
Script typo. So they went, oh, this was actually called Tomorrow Never Lies. Oh, yeah. Script typo.
So they went, oh, actually, that sounds a little bit better.
Tomorrow Never Lies makes more sense.
Because it's about the manipulation of the media.
Yeah, for sure.
Tomorrow Never Dies doesn't make any sense.
No, because Tomorrow also eventually dies with the collapse of the universe.
Absolutely.
The heat death of the universe, certainly.
But, I mean, slightly earlier than that, also,
if the bad guys planned in this movie were to come through,
like all of the world probably would have been annihilated
in some sort of nuclear war.
So tomorrow would definitely have died.
So maybe that's what it should have been called.
It should be called Tomorrow Will Definitely Die
if Carver, the media magnate,
succeeds in his conspiracy to cause the British
and the Chinese to start a war together.
That's his plan, unless Bond stops him.
Never dies?
Never dies.
I thought I hated this.
Oh, yes?
I went for decades thinking that this was a movie that I didn't like.
Decades?
Yeah.
When did this come out?
2002?
No, 97.
Okay, right.
They hurried this into production.
Anthony Hopkins was cast as Elliot Carver,
but he walked away three days in because it was really chaotic.
There wasn't a completed shooting script because they had to finish the movie two years after Goldeneye
to kind of get another one going.
He actually went on to do Mask of Zorro,
which was what Martin Campbell was doing at the time
because he didn't want to do another one.
Yeah, director of Goldeneye, yeah.
That's it.
And Pierce Brosnan also said this movie was like pulling teeth.
And it's in the capable hands of Roger Spottiswood.
Yes.
Which is a name that I assumed was a made-up name, like an Alan Smithy.
But it turns out, no, he directed both Turner and Hooch and Stop or My Mom Will Shoot.
Oh, my God.
Right?
Absolute legend of the game.
Legend of the game, for sure.
So I just.
Henry Winkler, here's a side note.
Yeah.
Henry Winkler was going to direct Turner and Hooch.
Really?
But speaking of people who cut out early,
he worked on it for two weeks, then he quit.
And he said, let's just say I got along better with Hooch
than I did with Turner.
What?
That's right.
Hooch was the dog.
Yeah, and I know.
Turner was the man.
Yes.
I wasn't 100% on that.
I said I know, but I wasn't 100% on it.
You think Hooch is a man's name?
It's the name of a dog
or a booze
you drink in an alley
or that guy in Scrubs
oh yeah that's a good point
but he's fictional
yeah
as is the movie
anyway we're not
talking about Hooch
yeah so I think it's because
I was so poisoned
by Die Another Day
yeah
and I just presumed
that everything in between
was mostly that
but this is definitely
more Goldeneye
than Die Another Day
this movie is okay
but I feel you can feel it coming apart at the seams a little bit.
Like the downhill slide from Goldeneye is starting.
Like the quips are getting worse and more obvious.
A couple of my favourites here.
Oh, yes.
You always were a cunning linguist.
Pump her for information.
Well, those are both Moneypenny quips.
Yes.
Like in this, again, we're still in this stage where Moneypenny, it's just back and forth dirty talk between her and information. Well, those are both money penny quips. Yes. Like in this again, we're still in this stage where money penny
it's just back and forth dirty talk
between her and Bond.
Oftentimes when Emma's just standing there
she's like, oh, I hope you pump
her for information, James. Then she does the thing
with the fingers. Put the
finger through the hole, you know. She's like, eh?
Huh? What do you reckon about that, Bond?
I have a note here. It says, James
Bond, who were you talking to with your little quips?
Us!
This one especially. The audience from the other side of the fourth wall.
Yeah.
Quite early on, there's this plane stunt.
Sure.
First of all, he gets into this plane, and he doesn't kill the co-pilot.
No.
He whacks him over the head with a helmet, and he just leaves in there.
What do you think's going to happen, Bond?
You think you're going to fly all the way to Britain, and this guy's not going to wake up?
Of course he's going to wake up trying to kill you with a belt or whatever.
Secondly, the chase happens and he ejects the guy into the other plane
and it all blows up and he goes,
huh, backseat driver.
Who are you talking to?
It doesn't make any sense.
It doesn't make any sense.
You don't drive a plane.
No, you fly a plane.
He should have said backseat flyer
and then turned to a second camera and gone,
like backseat driver, but different.
I feel like if I'd have seen that clip
alone just up on youtube i would have thought that somebody spliced in a scene from hot shots
with that guy going through the bottom of a plane and stopping in the sea and then all of a sudden
there's like chicken feathers everywhere that's right also the plane stunt right at the start of
the movie it's just golden eye again it's just GoldenEye again.
It's just the opening
sequence of GoldenEye.
But not as good.
Not as good,
but just more.
And I think maybe
that was the screenwriting
direction.
It was like,
people like the GoldenEye scene
where you think
he's going to die
and then he escapes
in the plane.
Just do the thing again
where you think
he's going to die
and then he escapes
in a plane kind of thing.
That's all I wanted to see.
Also, in that sequence,
Bond is aware
that there is a cruise missile
that is approaching a number of nuclear bombs
that could cause untold havoc in the world,
and he stops and he wastes precious time lighting some terrorist cigarette
before he does anything.
It's for us.
It is for us.
But he's like, well, I could just crack this guy in the head
with the butt of my rifle.
Yeah.
Or I could wait for him.
I could light his cigarette.
Maybe the wind will put it out. I'll have to do it again got he gets a good look at me yeah that's right he maybe he pulls his gun whatever and then lights him and then then you crack him
with the butt of the gun so you can say oh smoking is a filthy habit isn't it you could have died
everyone could have died bond who are you talking to the audience we know so i remember we laughed
and laughed mason, years ago.
We don't do that anymore, do we?
No, we haven't laughed since.
About this idea of a person manipulating the media
and taking over the world with the newspapers.
That's right.
And this is basically Rupert Murdoch.
It really is now, yeah.
I mean, Carver is kind of like,
he's sort of the amalgamation of like,
he's a Steve Jobs and he's a Murdoch and he's a Kerry Packer
or whoever else was alive then.
Yeah.
The bloody, the Hursts.
Hurst rent-a-car?
Yeah, Hurst rent-a-car.
I'm going to talk about rent-a-cars later.
Oh, yeah.
William Randolph Hurst, that's who I'm thinking of.
Gotcha, okay.
But yeah, this isn't that far-fetched at this point, really.
Because I remember also there was the argument that, you know,
his plan would have failed eventually because, you know, media would have pivoted digitally and he would have been
stuck printing newspapers but i feel like he would have made the adjustment he would have
made the jump yeah for sure not the best villain but i guess it's still different than golden eye
you know that's true yeah because you have tough guy yeah weedy guy yeah that's one tough guy i
can't remember it doesn't matter it doesn't matter it doesn't matter but you gotta alternate tough
guy weedy guy that's how we got the guy in Quantum of Solace
who's just a weedy French guy with a crowbar.
You remember?
Oh, I remember.
Or an axe?
Maybe.
We'll get to it in how many years we do that.
We have time.
No time to die is not for ages.
That's true, yeah.
We'll do every Bond movie by then.
So this was originally supposed to tie into the Hong Kong handover.
Oh, yeah.
In 99, yeah.
That's right.
It was given back to the Chinese.
But they thought this is going to date the movie.
Also, if something goes wrong during that event,
that's not going to look good for this movie that we're putting out.
That's true.
So let's just avoid that at all costs.
I feel like, though, this movie has aged better than I thought.
I agree, yeah.
Except for the kicking and punching sound effects,
which are mostly horrendous, yeah.
They're not correctly gauged.
There's a moment in there.
The little kick?
There's a little kick, yeah.
There's also a scene where Bond is brought into a room
by some bouncers, some thugs or whatever.
That's exactly what I'm talking about, yeah.
And there's one where he gets hit with a baseball bat.
It's the noise that would make if somebody's skull
gets completely caved in.
Like, there's no coming back from it.
It's like a wet whack crunch.
Why is he letting them beat him up for that long?
That's a really good
question because i know he's like he's kind of like i can take it and you can see kind of you
know he's eventually going to turn the tables but they're hitting you with baseball bats here's the
the downfall of this one which was less so the downfall of golden eye and so certainly less so
than all the the daniel craig bonds is that this bond is in the mode of introduce yourself with
your real name, give the game
away completely in a way that
get you into a lot of trouble and then get brought
into a room and get beaten up. Like within
five minutes he just goes
up to Elliot Carver and he's like
I banged your wife pretty much.
Yeah, I banged your wife and also I know you've
redirected all those ships and stuff. I know you
did it. Imagine. He's like, I'm a banker
and the guy's like, what sort of banking i know you did crimes banking straight like straight away you
may as well just say you're a spy at that point because they're gonna come after you regardless
i did like how later when he escaped they looked into him and they went look he's got a he's got
a crystal clean record yeah then he's a spy because people don't have those kind of records
i thought that was interesting where they didn't exactly figure it out
straight away,
but that's how he,
you know,
that's how he worked out that his wife was lying.
Also,
it said,
I didn't bang your wife.
The file.
It was like,
this guy definitely didn't bang your wife.
Well,
well,
well,
well,
I actually thought that first of all,
interesting thing about the Bond women,
neither of them are evil.
That's true.
And which means at least one's going to die.
Exactly.
And of course it's Terry Hatcher. She was pregnant during the filming of this. She gets a bit. That's true. Which means at least one's going to die. Exactly. And of course it's Terry Hatcher.
She was pregnant during the filming of this.
That's why the newspaper theme.
She's always hiding a pregnant belly behind newspapers.
I thought she did a reasonably good job with a very minimal role.
She has got flack for being in this,
and people have talked about her as one of the worst Bond women.
I don't think so.
I think she does a decent job with this role,
which was just turn up and slap James Bond
and then a bit of banter and then you get shot or whatever.
And also...
Poisoned.
You wouldn't turn it down, I feel like.
No, definitely not.
If MGM wants me to be a Bond girl, I'll be a Bond girl.
Yeah.
I'll do it.
That being said, I really liked Michelle Yeoh in this.
She did a lot of her own stunts.
She couldn't do all of them because of insurance reasons.
But the things like the escape that she makes
when James Bond is getting shot at,
she's just walking down the wall and he's like,
Yeah, that's fun.
That's good.
If any character from the Brosnan and Bonds
should have gotten their own spinoff,
it would have been Wei Ling.
Well, funny you should mention that
because there was that talk of, you know,
Jinx was going to get her own spinoff.
But there was mention,
or at least there was in the IMDB trivia
and Wikipedia's and such, that she was going to get a a spin-off and i think she definitely could have carried a
franchise agreed and still could i love the dumb torture guy incredible wait which guy are we
talking about i'm talking about the uh the guy in the hotel room oh yeah that is um oh hang on he's
from ghost he looks like a sad cartoon dog yeah that, that is the late great Vincent Chiavelli.
He's a sort of iconic character actor.
He's one of those that guys.
No longer with us, but yeah, he's just... I love that he's so in control of the situation.
He's done it a million times.
And to him, he's just going to work and he's having the banter
and he's having a bit of fun with it.
Then when he gets the tables turned on him, he goes to water yeah and then you see that side of bond which is
always there but it's behind this sheen of kind of civility and and suave and stupid hair and he
just goes too bad shoots him in the face i just think that's amazing just getting those glimpses
of bond where this guy is an actual psychopath. Yeah. I think people forget that about this character.
That's true.
But yeah, so Dr. Kaufman gets, again, he's only in one scene,
but he's very memorable and he's got these moments of like,
oh, this is embarrassing.
How unprofessional are these guys?
They can't get in a car.
I have to torture you.
I'm sorry.
That being said, the other henchman, Stamper, no good.
Nah, I don't like him.
He looks like he belongs in a German boy band.
Yeah, he looks like somebody that Popeye would beat up on the way to beat up Pluto.
One thing I wanted to say also was, after Terry Hatcher dies,
you do get the sense where he takes a moment that he did actually like her.
Yeah.
And you don't often get that with Bond.
No.
Like, people fall around him dying, you know, drop dead all the time,
and he just kind of cruises on out of
there but you kind of get the sense that oh no he actually didn't like this one for a second at the
very least i think he likes most of them except the villains yeah sure maybe we're due for like
a bond visits his therapist movie yeah and there's a lot of crying i'm gonna ask you about this okay
i love a bond clothing report oh i'm ready look, we could get into the specifics all day, every day.
I mean, my number one question is, after Bond and Weyland are captured,
where do they get their clothes?
They just happen to have a snappy red jacket for her ready to go?
He's got his tailor, remember?
Oh, yeah, that's a good point.
He goes into any hotel in the world.
Okay, what's your clothing question?
So what do you think of the look of Commander Bond?
Oh, yes.
Very rarely we get him in his naval outfit.
I love it.
Where are you at with it?
I think it's very snappy.
I think it's a nice change.
He's got all these little gold buttons in his hat.
It's rare to see a hatted Bond.
It was very common, I feel, in the Roger Moore days, but less so.
Yeah, because he has that background,
but you don't always get a lot of it in these movies.
I think this might be the last.
FX's The Veil explores the surprising and fraught relationship between two women who
play a deadly game of truth and lies on the road from Istanbul to Paris and London.
One woman has a secret, the other a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost. FX's The Veil, starring Elizabeth Moss, is now streaming on Disney+. Last time we've had that in these movies?
I think so, yeah.
Daniel Craig certainly hasn't done it.
No.
His background was drowning men in sinks.
That's true.
I don't think he was in the Navy.
I think that's just what he did.
That was his job full time.
He just hung around on a Navy destroyer.
Like he just scuffled around in it at night and he just strangled sailors.
So he was like an urban myth.
Yeah.
But they eventually made him an honorary commander.
Like if you leave, we'll give you some medals.
And he's like, okay.
So Jerry Butler appearance.
I don't know if you noticed.
I did not notice that.
Where is he?
He's in one of the war rooms. I don't know. Okay. Right, right Butler appearance. I don't know if you noticed. I did not notice that. Where is he? He's in one of the war rooms.
I don't know.
Okay, right, right, right.
So apparently he turned down Casino Royale for fear of typecasting.
That was on IMDB.
I see.
I don't know whether I believe that.
I don't know if that's true.
Our other surprise guest appearance is Ricky Jay,
the magician slash card expert who was the hacker guy.
Yeah.
He's the guy who can, like, he's the master of deadly playing cards as the hacker.
Yes, absolutely.
I also want to say that I love that car.
I mean, the car's fine, the BMW 750, whatever it is.
Yeah, it's not a, what's interesting about this movie is that it's got a pretty solid
car chase with very unmemorable cars.
Just like, just standard standard issue European sedans.
Yeah.
So it's got a GPS tracking system, which at the time...
Oh my God, this movie...
Mind-bending.
Oh my God.
GPS must have been in the news,
because we got an explanation early on about what a GPS is.
Yep.
We get that the whole drama is around GPS,
and the war's nearly going to start over at GPS.
The car's got GPS.
Oh my God. I enjoyed the fact that they're like, is that at no point... and the war's nearly going to start over at GPS. The car's got GPS.
Oh, my God. I enjoyed the fact that they're like,
is that at no point,
the whole drama is based around the idea
that the British ship goes into Chinese territorial waters
and then it gets blown up.
And the commanders are like,
there's no way this could have gone out of sync
because it's the GPS system.
Like these days would be like...
Technology you just had?
Yeah.
These days you'd be like,
hey, Steve, can you switch it off and on again?
Oh, it's out of sync.
Okay, cool.
We'll leave.
We'll leave.
Sorry.
Sorry, because that happens with technology.
A lot of the time it just doesn't work.
Almost constantly.
Sorry, you were saying about the car chase.
Well, I think...
I like the idea that he's got the little track pad.
I like the phone.
I want to get to the phone.
But I think that's a really cool invention for the time.
I think you see that now and you're like,
who cares because of drones and whatever.
For sure, yeah. But then I thought that was really cool. I also think the
cutting tool on the front of the car is way
too specific and at the exact
height of that cable. But that's a James Bond
gadget. It's like, well, I've got to put all this
repelling line in your belt buckle
and he's like, oh no, there's
75 feet to the ground.
Here we go. Also,
I enjoy the car chase and it's fun.
And I enjoy the fact there's a lot of like reaction shots of Bond
just in the back seat, just having a grand time,
just playing on this thing.
But also when you think about it,
the entire action sequence hinges on Bond not being able to open
the front window of the car.
Because he can open the rear window and leap into the back
but if he could leap into the front probably save a lot of time that's a really good point
i love also the idea that it's mostly bulletproof and they're hitting it with slow chammers look
it's not a great looking car but what they've done with it i really like absolutely i also enjoyed
and was a little bit mystified by the guy in that car chase he's just standing on the street he has
a bazooka but instead of aiming for the body of the car,
he aims for the windshield that's already shattered.
One of the many times where Bond gets away
just because he got lucky again.
I also like the phone
because it's not like a modern smartphone
where it's just got a scanner for everything, whatever.
You know, it hacks every door.
It's got like a very specific thumb scanner
and a little key element to it.
And it's a taser.
I just think that's a great little gadget.
I agree.
Which is also implemented in the video game, which we will talk about.
Oh.
Yeah.
Look, I just want to talk budget and product placement.
But we'll talk about that after we play the amazing game,
because we did get 50,000 likes.
Thanks.
Thanks?
Yeah.
Anyway, let's do it.
Here we go.
What a game, what an era.
You got any notes, Mason?
Oh my God, just miscellaneous notes I didn't quite get to.
It's my favourite thing.
That I didn't awkwardly shoehorn into the first part of the video.
Okay, I've written here, this is from the opening sequence where Bond gets into the
plane and he's like spinning around and he's shooting like we just saw in the video game.
I've written here, do you think a stagehand shook the cockpit was brosnan instructed to wobble like a jellyfish
i think they didn't know on the day what was happening yeah and brosnan made that call
i've written here does elliot carver do a little speech every time he's on a video chat because it
seems exhausting for everyone because he's all like he always ends with, there's no news. Like bad news. And everybody's like, ugh. This fucking guy every day with his shit.
Here's a question I have for you.
Okay.
And the viewers.
Sure, throw it out there.
Is Bond allowed to do crimes while on a mission?
Like he's got a license to kill.
Yes.
But does that expand to just any kind of crime?
Because in this, he breaks into like the printers.
Yeah. He's just breaking and entering.
He's just getting his fingerprints.
He's not wearing any gloves.
He's just getting his fingerprints.
He's probably had them melted off.
Right.
He's just getting them.
He's looking through all the drawers.
So surely you could just get him arrested after that.
Well, isn't it if you get captured as a MI6 agent?
They're like, we don't know him.
Maybe, yeah.
So I think you can do whatever you want as long as you don't get captured. Because I feel that would be a fairly6 agent. They're like, we don't know him. Maybe, yeah. Yeah, so I think you can do whatever you want
as long as you don't get captured.
Because I feel that would be a fairly easy fix.
You'd just be like, hey, this guy,
this guy, he works for Universal Exports or something.
I don't know.
It seems like a front company.
But anyway, he was just in my office.
He was rifling through stuff.
He pushed a $300 million satellite onto the ground.
Anyway, we've got footage of him
and his fingerprints are all over everything.
Can you just put him in jail for just stealing stuff oh he stole a
plane and flew away uh i've got here surely not everyone at the printers is getting paid enough
to fist fight james bond no because everybody gets into it like the the guys with guns sure
and like the security guards and stuff but there looks like just like an nbc page
yeah and a blazer comes out just leaps onto Bond and starts tackling him.
But if you're working with mates and a lunatic runs in.
Oh, you jump in.
Touching all the stuff.
Because otherwise you wouldn't be part of the story.
Exactly.
Like afterwards, they'd be like, hey, Terry, you bloody tackled that guy.
And you'd be like.
Terry no tackle over here, mate.
Yeah, Terry no tackle, yeah.
But at one point.
As in balls, because you've got no balls, mate.
Speaking of Bond's quips to no one,
at one point, Bond says,
huh, they'll print anything these days,
right after he's thrown a man into a printing press
and just minced him.
What he should have said was,
they'll print anything these days,
including using ink,
which is actually the remains of a human corpse.
That man had a family.
Don't use your phone while driving, Bond.
Well, he had to.
When he's driving?
Yeah, when he's driving.
He has to.
That's how it works.
Oh, I thought you meant when he's using the...
No, he just takes a phone call.
I noticed the little things, James.
It's very dangerous.
Don't do it.
Which part of the movie is that?
And you'll lose points on your license.
This is a note for Ben so I can send it to him
so he doesn't have to look for it.
Okay. It's before look for it. Okay.
It's before the car chase.
Okay.
I've also written,
he's done an awful parking job.
He doesn't care.
He's outside of the line.
He's doing crimes.
I'm well aware.
He's doing crimes, Mason.
You don't have to use all these.
I've also written here,
what does Bond have against
Avis Rent-A-Car?
I don't think he did it on purpose.
No, he absolutely,
he launches it off the roof
of a parking structure
over a crowd of
innocent people and then through the avis rented car storefront and then he's like yes oh so not
the fact that he did it yes the fact that afterwards he was like i did it i did it yeah
he could have killed 20 people yeah he probably did but again license to kill doesn't matter
yeah that's probably true yeah okay I've got a couple more notes.
Again, Bond's terrible quips.
This is a testament to the downward slope of these movies.
Sure.
At one point he says to Weyland,
we seem to have developed a certain attachment to each other.
And then he lifts his hand to show that they're handcuffed together.
Did she not say that?
That's for us, though.
She knows.
That's for us.
No, no.
Oh, my God.
That's for us, man.
It's fine.
After the motorcycle chase, what do you reckon about that?
You enjoy it?
It's good.
Apparently, the director told them that each one of them was driving,
so that's why they had that little interaction.
Oh, that's fine.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Afterwards, Bond says to Weylin,
you were pretty good with that hook, you know,
because they hooked the helicopter.
And she says, it comes with growing up in a rough neighborhood.
Does it? You're doing that every day, are you? Yeah. You're ho helicopter and she says it comes with growing up in a rough neighbourhood does it?
you're doing that every day yeah
you're hooking a helicopter
it comes with it
okay
that's how you get to school
just hook a helicopter
hope it doesn't crash
like GTA
just tow you down the street
okay cool nice
let's see
here's one more
last one
if Bond's plan
is to destroy
the stealth ship
yes
or damage it enough
that it becomes visible
to radar and then the Navy can destroy it sure why do you have to go damage it enough that it becomes visible to radar
and then the Navy can destroy it.
Sure.
Why do you have to go into it?
Get on your little dinky little ship.
Is he mounting a rescue of sorts?
No.
It's all bad guys.
It's exclusively bad guys on that ship.
And they're the worst of the worst
because they know all these evil plans.
And they're the media.
Yeah, that's right.
So just stay on your little ship, launch a shooter with a bazooka. That's all I'm saying. Get a bazook media. Ugh. Yeah, that's right. So just stay on your little ship,
launch a shooter with a bazooka,
is all I'm saying.
Yeah, you're right.
Get a bazooka from that bazooka guy
from earlier.
Yeah, Bazooka Joe.
Yeah.
Hey, man, can I borrow your bazooka?
Yes.
Well, now you're Barry No Bazooka.
Sucked in, idiot.
Terrific stuff.
Did you know this is the first movie
in film history to have its entire budget
be covered by product placement?
That makes a lot of sense.
So it's around $100 million,
a bit over.
The budget for this is about $50 million more than GoldenEye, and it made $339 million,
which is slightly less.
Possibly hurt because it opened the same week as Titanic.
That'll do it.
Yeah, so that'll definitely do it.
But I feel like you don't get the sense that this is more expensive than the last one.
I don't think it looks better.
I don't think the whole thing runs as smooth as the last
one i think they're maybe the reason the budget did blow out is because they went oh we got some
um you know we got some sponsorships we can do whatever but i don't know money it doesn't feel
bigger than the last one i guess the last one also did a lot of miniatures that this one doesn't seem
to do that's true yeah yeah yeah which we didn't really talk about last week okay but it does have
a scene where bond and waylon like rappel down the side of a building
through Jonathan Pryce's face.
Incredible.
So that's a lot of money.
That ain't free.
Why didn't he do a quip then?
We tore this guy's face right down the middle of his face.
Wish I could do that to his real face
because he's a bad guy.
Do it to his face.
It's not my best, I know,
but please don't edit this out of the movie.
They did.
They edited it out.
Wow.
This is for the people watching the movie.
I'm James Bond.
So I just want to come back to it
because I want to check in on this every week.
It said that this is the only Brosnan James Bond film
where it doesn't end with him lying on top of a woman
and in this, lying on top of a woman.
There you go.
So we're going to come back next week, obviously.
But I mean, they're in the water though.
That doesn't count. Still counts, Mason. My favourite bit about that come back next week, obviously. But I mean, they're in the water, though. That doesn't count.
Still counts, Mason.
My favourite bit about that is he's like, let's stay undercover.
And then the rescue ship leaves.
Did you notice that?
Yeah.
They're going to drown.
Why isn't she like, no?
Yeah.
This is like Titanic, that movie I just saw.
We're going to die out here, Bond.
Yeah, but you know.
Yeah.
That's what he's like.
It's for the movie, isn't it?
It's for us, the audience.
Anyway, I think this is...
Who wouldn't want to be stuck in the middle of the ocean
with a beautiful lady, you know?
I know.
Or a beautiful Pierce Brosnan.
Even better.
Yeah.
I think this is all right.
I think this is all right, too, yeah.
It's shocking to me that I'm saying that,
but there were moments when I'm like,
I'm genuinely invested in this.
But I think you're right.
I think that the next couple
have really coloured our memories of this, because in retrospect, I do remember enjoying in this. But I think you're right. I think that the next couple have
really coloured our memories of this. Because in retrospect
I do remember enjoying this at the cinema.
Because it's got everything
you want. It's got the gals. It's got the guns. It's got
the gadgets. 3Gs.
The 3Gs you need. That's right. Yeah, terrific.
So look, we will be coming back next week
for your only
you can't feel any pain because
you've got a bullet in your head oh yeah yeah yeah
what's that one again?
Billy Too Many Bullets
Billy Too Many Bullets
in your head
yeah
one bullet
is too many bullets
The World Is Not Enough
yes
I feel like this should have been called
The World Is Not Enough
right?
because he wants more
than what he's currently got
yeah
switch the titles
I guess you can switch the titles
for most of these movies
it doesn't matter does it?
yeah
so look also again
if you want us to play the video game 50,000 likes anything less than that I'm not can switch the titles for most of these movies. It doesn't matter, does it? Yeah. So look, also, again, if you want us to play the video game, 50,000 likes.
Anything less than that, I'm not putting out the video.
Whoa.
At all.
What?
So it's either the video game or nothing.
That's fair, is it?
Yeah.
That's the name of the video game, too.
It's the video game or nothing.
