Starting point is 00:00:00 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. Visit planetbroadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates. 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,
Starting point is 00:00:40 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.
Starting point is 00:00:53 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.
Starting point is 00:01:04 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.
Starting point is 00:01:20 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
Starting point is 00:01:36 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?
Starting point is 00:01:52 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.
Starting point is 00:02:02 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.
Starting point is 00:02:19 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?
Starting point is 00:02:36 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,
Starting point is 00:02:47 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.
Starting point is 00:02:59 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
Starting point is 00:03:08 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
Starting point is 00:03:16 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
Starting point is 00:03:23 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.
Starting point is 00:03:41 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
Starting point is 00:03:55 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.
Starting point is 00:04:10 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.
Starting point is 00:04:25 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.
Starting point is 00:04:36 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.
Starting point is 00:05:06 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.
Starting point is 00:05:11 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
Starting point is 00:05:17 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
Starting point is 00:05:27 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.
Starting point is 00:05:41 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.
Starting point is 00:06:10 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
Starting point is 00:06:27 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.
Starting point is 00:06:37 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
Starting point is 00:07:04 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.
Starting point is 00:07:14 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.
Starting point is 00:07:25 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,
Starting point is 00:07:40 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.
Starting point is 00:07:52 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
Starting point is 00:08:08 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
Starting point is 00:08:33 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
Starting point is 00:08:58 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,
Starting point is 00:09:10 I didn't bang your wife. The file. It was like, this guy definitely didn't bang your wife. Well, well, well, well,
Starting point is 00:09:16 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.
Starting point is 00:09:28 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
Starting point is 00:09:46 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.
Starting point is 00:09:56 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.
Starting point is 00:10:11 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
Starting point is 00:10:23 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.
Starting point is 00:10:58 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,
Starting point is 00:11:31 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.
Starting point is 00:11:43 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,
Starting point is 00:12:04 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?
Starting point is 00:12:33 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.
Starting point is 00:12:47 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.
Starting point is 00:13:04 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.
Starting point is 00:13:40 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.
Starting point is 00:13:52 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.
Starting point is 00:14:06 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,
Starting point is 00:14:19 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.
Starting point is 00:14:42 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.
Starting point is 00:14:57 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
Starting point is 00:15:09 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.
Starting point is 00:15:22 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.
Starting point is 00:15:31 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.
Starting point is 00:15:41 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
Starting point is 00:15:58 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,
Starting point is 00:16:15 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,
Starting point is 00:16:46 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
Starting point is 00:17:04 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.
Starting point is 00:17:16 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.
Starting point is 00:17:27 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
Starting point is 00:17:53 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.
Starting point is 00:18:18 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.
Starting point is 00:18:31 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
Starting point is 00:18:46 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.
Starting point is 00:18:58 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.
Starting point is 00:19:25 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.
Starting point is 00:19:39 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.
Starting point is 00:19:55 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?
Starting point is 00:20:08 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.
Starting point is 00:20:18 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,
Starting point is 00:20:28 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,
Starting point is 00:20:35 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
Starting point is 00:20:53 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.
Starting point is 00:21:15 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.
Starting point is 00:21:23 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.
Starting point is 00:21:36 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
Starting point is 00:21:47 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
Starting point is 00:21:56 let's see here's one more last one if Bond's plan is to destroy the stealth ship yes or damage it enough
Starting point is 00:22:03 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.
Starting point is 00:22:15 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,
Starting point is 00:22:26 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.
Starting point is 00:22:33 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,
Starting point is 00:22:44 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.
Starting point is 00:23:02 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.
Starting point is 00:23:28 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,
Starting point is 00:23:40 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.
Starting point is 00:23:51 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.
Starting point is 00:24:06 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.
Starting point is 00:24:19 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
Starting point is 00:24:29 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,
Starting point is 00:24:38 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
Starting point is 00:24:51 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?
Starting point is 00:25:07 Billy Too Many Bullets Billy Too Many Bullets in your head yeah one bullet is too many bullets The World Is Not Enough yes
Starting point is 00:25:14 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
Starting point is 00:25:21 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.
Starting point is 00:25:31 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. Also, of course, we have a podcast called The Weekly Planet where we talk movies and comics and TV shows.
