00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:14.240
Hello, everybody, Welcome back to
another episode of the show. I can't
2
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.600
tell you exactly which one it is
because this is actually dropping on multiple podcasts
3
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:20.760
at once. Don't worry, you
are listening to the right show, whichever
4
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:23.559
one you're trying to get. I
am not your regular host, but I
5
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:27.199
have a feeling your host is probably
standing very close by. My name is
6
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:30.280
David Wright. I'm also known as
Deaf Dave, and there's a chance that
7
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:33.920
you've at least heard of me if
you're a regular follower of this show.
8
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:39.359
We have a very special episode today. I've been asked to moderate a fantasy
9
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:53.719
draft for Bond Girls, and so
I have with me hosts from a film
10
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:59.679
by podcast the Surely you Can't Be
Serious podcasts on Her Majesty's Secret podcast.
11
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.159
I think I got that right,
as well as the thirtysomething podcast. So
12
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:07.719
I feel a little bit like more
successful than Blow failed at taking over the
13
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.159
world. I'm a guy with no
podcast on my own, yet I have
14
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.959
simultaneously hijacked four of them all at
once, and I'm feeling pretty powerful.
15
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.599
So anyway, this is going to
be a fantasy draft of Bond Girls,
16
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:25.319
and we'll have five rounds of these
picks and then we'll leave it up to
17
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:29.920
the audience to decide the winner.
So let's get straight to introductions. First
18
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.719
up, we have the host of
a Film by Podcast, Jeff Johnson.
19
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.680
Jeff, tell us about you,
about your show and your Bond credentials.
20
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.200
Hello, Dave, thank you for
joining us and doing this for us.
21
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.480
My name's Jeff Johnson. I'm one
of the co hosts for a Film by
22
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.959
Podcast. Basically, what we do
is we take our favorite directors. We
23
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.719
take Hollywoods biggest directors, and we
like to focus in on their underrated hits.
24
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.280
You know, not necessarily things that
you might have heard or might not
25
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.400
have done well but the box office, but things that we feel you should
26
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:02.680
definitely check out. And then we
also have a couple of limited series.
27
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.680
You know, we've done the nineteen
eighty six series, which you know,
28
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.439
Jason has been a part of,
which you've been a part of. We're
29
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:13.400
currently working on a one called a
Film at forty five or a couple episodes
30
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.280
deep into that. We're celebrating the
forty fifth anniversary of movies that we're in
31
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:20.560
nineteen seventy eight, so doing some
fun stuff with that. As far as
32
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:25.400
Bond goes in my connection. I
still remember the day that my dad told
33
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:29.599
me not to go outside to play
because he wanted me to watch a movie.
34
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.719
I sit down in front of the
TV and I'm immediately just unhappy because
35
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:36.439
I see this is some old movie. What do I care? And then
36
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.159
all of a sudden, I see
this girl completely covered in gold and I
37
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:43.319
was like, wait, what is
this? And then you know I was
38
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.599
hooked. Goldfinger was my first experience. My dad introduced me to James Bond
39
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.000
later that year. We went to
the movie theater to see A View to
40
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.919
a Kill in nineteen eighty five.
Again, I was a little confused when
41
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:55.800
I saw Roger Moore's face. I
leaned, Dad, that's not James Bond.
42
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.840
No, it is James Bond.
Just you know, it's a new
43
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:04.759
but happy to say my dad has
taken me to see every James Bond film
44
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.879
since of You to a Kill.
And the fun thing for me is at
45
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.879
this point now as an adult,
I'm taking him to go see him.
46
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.080
So we haven't missed one and I
don't I don't plan for that to happen
47
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:20.000
anytime soon. It's pretty awesome.
So Jason Colvin tell us a little bit
48
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:28.240
about your show and your bondage experiment, I mean bond experience. Well,
49
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.039
my name's Jason Colvin and I co
host the Shirley Can't Be Serious Podcast with
50
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:36.159
my good buddy James D. Graves, and we are a podcast for the
51
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:40.439
MTV generation. And what we do
is we take two movies or albums or
52
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:44.919
TV shows or you know, books, whatever, and we match them up
53
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:49.000
against them themselves. And so we've
done some pretty fun ones. Jeff with
54
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.960
you, We've done Jobs the Revenge
versus Superman four and that was kind of
55
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:54.560
a fun one. Dave with you, we did License to Ill by the
56
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:59.080
Beastie Boys versus Raisin Hell Run DMC. What we've got coming down the pipe.
57
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.599
We've got Raisin theres Zona versus The
Big Lebowski. We're working on Summer
58
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:05.039
of nineteen eighty eight, so we're
doing Twins versus Big. We've got Long
59
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:09.800
Cold Winner by Cinderella versus Zhu eight
one two Van Halen, and we like
60
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.439
to match those up and we go
deep. We try to ferret out the
61
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.199
stuff that other people don't find,
and so some more trivial type of things
62
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.680
or me my first bond experience happened
in the summer of nineteen eighty one,
63
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:25.600
and I contend that two weeks of
June in nineteen eighty one were the best
64
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.920
two weeks in eighties movie history.
So you know, you've got Stripes,
65
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.920
You've got Great Buppet Caper, You've
got Four Your Eyes Only, You've got
66
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:35.959
Raiders are Lost Dark, You've got
Dragon Slayer, You've got all these great
67
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:42.120
movies released all in the same two
week periods, Clash of the Titans and
68
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:44.959
yeah, actually I've got a tidbit
on Clash the Titans here in a minute,
69
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.519
because we'll be talking about probably Ursula
Andrews at some point. Once I
70
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:50.560
had seen Raiders of Lost Dark with
my best friend at the time. He's
71
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:54.160
like, man, we've got to
go see four Your Eyes Only. It's
72
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:56.839
the new James Bond movie. And
I had never heard of James Bond.
73
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:58.439
I'm like, what are you talking
about. He's like, well, if
74
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.519
you like Raiders of the Lost Dark, you'll like For Your Eyes Onlie.
75
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.720
And so we went to the movie
theater and I was like, this is
76
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.639
the greatest summer I've ever had because
I just saw Raiders and now I'm watching
77
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:10.800
James Bond and It was just awesome, and so that was my first experience
78
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:15.240
awesome. Van, tell us about
you, and at least tell us about
79
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.000
your James Bond podcasts and your Bond, your relationship to Bond in the franchise.
80
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:23.360
I am Van Allen Plexico. I
run the White Rocket Entertainment Network,
81
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:27.079
which has a number of different podcasts
channels, but the one relevant here is
82
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.480
on Her Majesty's Secret Podcast. When
I came up with that name several years
83
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:31.079
ago, I said, well,
now I've got to have a show because
84
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:35.079
that's too good of a name not
to actually use. And so Alan J.
85
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:39.560
Porter, the author of many books
on James Bond, he and I
86
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:44.279
do a occasional review. We're working
our second way through the movies now.
87
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.720
The first time we just kind of
did long reviews of them, discussing every
88
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.439
aspect, every scene, every moment. This time we're doing kind of like
89
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:54.680
categories, rating the girls, the
gadgets, the villains and all that as
90
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.160
we go through. So that's what
we've been doing lately. But there are
91
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:00.560
other folks on that show, including
Raymond Benson authors. He comes on occasionally.
92
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.199
We talk about Bond music, the
scores and everything. So we have
93
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:08.000
a lot of fun on on that
series. It's that secret podcast dot Podbean
94
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:12.279
dot com. As far as me, I think my first exposure to Bond
95
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.720
was in the early seventies on like
the ABC Sunday Night Movie when they would
96
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.600
show either they kept switching back.
Say I never had the Who's Bond thing,
97
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:23.000
because they would one week they would
show Diamonds or Forever, and then
98
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:25.600
next week they would show Living Let
Die, and they'd switched back and forth.
99
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.600
So I was getting Sean Connery and
Roger Moore kind of in equal doses,
100
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:31.360
and so I thought of them both
as Bond. And then I saw
101
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:36.120
I have a love hate relationship though
in the mid seventies because we were in
102
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:41.800
Florida on a vacation and there was
Star Wars was out and I was dying
103
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.879
to see Star Wars, and we
went and saw The Spy Who Loved Me.
104
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.040
So I've always hated The Spy Who
Loved Me. Even though I'd acknowledged
105
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.399
it's a good Bond film, I
hate it because it kept me from seeing
106
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:55.720
Star Wars for like four months.
But but and as far as Bond goes,
107
00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:03.639
I really do like the idea of
a secret agent that brought age side
108
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:10.079
exactly. He's kind of his own
guy. He's a really interesting character and
109
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:15.319
charismatic and exciting, and he's held
up for all these going on sixty years
110
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.519
now. So yeah, if not
more, yeah, so very good.
111
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:24.639
And the last participant in our draft
today is Pat Cantagallo from the thirty something
112
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.199
podcast. Pat, tell us about
your show, what you got going on
113
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.519
and any relationship to Bond. Okay, so thirty something movie podcast, it's
114
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:34.920
actually the show. The guy that
ran the show starts the show is my
115
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:40.000
friend John Ree, and he got
a bunch of us together. We're all
116
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.519
teachers. We would all sit when
we'd have break time or blunch or whatever,
117
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.240
we'd sit down and just talk about
movies, all right, our friends
118
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.600
Jeff, Dennis Bow, myself,
and then we would just sit and talk
119
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:56.000
movies. There were sometimes we'd we'd
be sitting there and have entire conversations just
120
00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:01.079
using movie quotes. And sometimes that
would just completely weird the other teachers,
121
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:05.519
Like sometimes students wouldn't know where the
you know, the smart students would always
122
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.319
you know, pick up on what
we were saying. And so finally John's
123
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:11.160
like, you know, what I've
always wanted to do a podcast. Let's
124
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.000
put this all together and let's just
talk about movies as a podcast. And
125
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.759
so the way our show works is
that we review movies that are coming up
126
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:24.120
on their thirtieth anniversary. So right
now, each year we do one movie
127
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.519
a week from thirty years ago.
So right now we're working through nineteen ninety
128
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.879
three, and we just got done
with the film. It's Quin Tarantino wrote
129
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:37.919
the script, Christian Slater starting it. It's called True Romance, And like,
130
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.279
it's been great because you know,
I had never seen that movie before,
131
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:46.120
and so like I was blown away
with this and it's it's awesome going
132
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.080
back and how did I miss this
movie? And then all of a sudden,
133
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.759
like the next week we could be
doing, for example, Jurassic Park.
134
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.480
Okay, I've seen this movie.
Is that really already thirty years old?
135
00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:58.639
Like where did that come from?
And getting together and realizing, wow,
136
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.159
I've had all these feelings about this
movie that's thirty years old. So
137
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.200
does everybody else, you know.
So it's it's it's been a pretty cool,
138
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.759
pretty cool experienced in the podcast.
As far as when Bond started,
139
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:15.639
I started watching Bond with my grandparents
and my dad, those Sunday Night movies
140
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.360
that you talk about. My grandmother
was a huge James Bond fan, a
141
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.200
huge Sean Connery fan. So yeah, I would grow up and, like
142
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:26.600
you were saying, kind of got
the Sean Connery and Roger Moore and equal
143
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:28.559
doses. And that's kind of where
it all where it all started, you
144
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.360
know, I was raised. My
grandma made sure that I understood that,
145
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.279
you know, Sean Connery was the
best Bond, but there were some other
146
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.360
Bonds. And then it just kind
of followed through the rest of my life
147
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:41.759
every level, you know, all
the way up through college, and there
148
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:43.320
was always a group of people that
were Bond fans. So I got to
149
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.200
kind of like grow up with the
series. Well, very good, if
150
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.039
I could. I'll just share a
little bit of my relationship with the Bond
151
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.320
franchise because it sounds very similar to
Jeff's. My dad graduated high school in
152
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.159
nineteen sixty three, which I think
is the year that Doctor Note was released
153
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:00.240
in the United States, and so
he was kind of the Bond generation through
154
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.600
all that super spy craze in the
sixties, and that was something that he
155
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.399
and I shared. You know,
he took me to my first Bond movie
156
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.240
View to a Kill. When I
was a freshman in high school, I
157
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:13.759
must have been, and so that
one was my first experience with James Bond,
158
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.720
and I had a good time with
my dad. So I don't hate
159
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:20.960
that movie as much as most people
seem to. But that became a tradition.
160
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.240
It's something my dad and I bonded
over. We saw every James Bond
161
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:28.440
movie that came out. That continued
into my adulthood, and after I'd moved
162
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:30.960
away there was a new Bond movie, I'd make the trip down to my
163
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.919
hometown. We'd go see it together, and so that's always that's always been
164
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.039
kind of special to me. He
passed away after Casino Royale. That was
165
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:41.159
the last one that I saw with
him, and I have not haven't really
166
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:46.440
been particularly in the mood to see
a new release since then. I haven't.
167
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.639
I don't know if if I will, to be honest, but I
168
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.320
remained a casual Bond fan and I
will still watch all the old ones occasionally.
169
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:56.080
I'll go on a binge every once
in a while. So I'm not
170
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.159
a huge Bond fan. So when
this topic came up, I didn't feel
171
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:03.879
like I knew enough to be able
to Heaven to conduct my own intelligent enough
172
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:05.879
of a draft. So but I'm
a casual fan. I'm not a hater
173
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.120
of it for sure. So I'm
excited to be able to help you all
174
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.759
out with this today. And I
think we're getting ready to get started.
175
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.639
We'll start drafting. We're gonna just
go through fantasy football style snake draft.
176
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.679
We're gonna do go snake style,
but in each round we'll start with a
177
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:22.320
different person, so I'll just keep
as straight. We don't have to worry
178
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.120
about it too much. So before
we get started on drafting our Bond girls,
179
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:31.360
I asked everyone to submit to me
their own idea for a Bond Girl
180
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.440
name, their own original Bond Girl
name, and that I would use the
181
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:41.639
quality of their puns to determine the
draft order. And these guys do not
182
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.360
know what I've decided. They don't
even know what everybody else has even come
183
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.240
up with. So here we go. I'm gonna start. So they're all
184
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:50.480
great, They're all solid, all
right, They're all absolutely usable. I
185
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.679
could see them in a Bond movie. But I have to rank them,
186
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:58.759
so I'm gonna go at number four. Is going to be van was the
187
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:03.799
word so so what I try.
I judge these based on like how much
188
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:09.240
does this fit the convention of what
the Bond movies do? Okay, So
189
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:16.159
Van's entry was Gloria Climax. So
that's good. Yeah, not not you
190
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:20.360
know, not unfathomable that it might
be used. Okay, but uh but
191
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.000
um well, the only one I
could think of that didn't it wasn't already
192
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:30.919
a porn star. Yeah. They're
all kind of used up right. Uh
193
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.480
So the third one is gonna be
Pat. Pat had a great sounding Bond
194
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:43.679
name. It Fanny good Bottom.
I uh. At first I was going
195
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.240
to deduct points for the use of
Fanny, thinking it was a little bit
196
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:50.240
of an old, old fashioned name. Then I remember that James Bond goes
197
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.559
back the movies go back to nineteen
sixty two, So I think you,
198
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.320
uh, I think you get away
with Fanny good Bottom. So I get
199
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:03.600
find a tech Okay, so it's
a quality name, but we got some
200
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.879
we got some tough entries ahead of
you. So number two is actually my
201
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.799
favorite one. So number two is
gonna be Jeff Johnson. So Jeff came
202
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:18.200
up with a fantastic name. It
is Nicata spits. Now. The reason
203
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:24.080
why that is so good is well, those of us that speak Croatian already
204
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.159
know how good of a name that
is. But if you need Nicata translated
205
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:37.759
into English, it is never Oh
yes they okay, okay, so top
206
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.600
shelf pun quality. But also I
don't think the Bond movies make your work
207
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:45.600
that hard for the punch line,
so I put him in second place.
208
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:52.080
And Jason Colvin I think absolutely nails
the spirit of the movies with Ophelia Melon's
209
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:05.679
nicely. To start off, the
draft order will be Jason, Jeff,
210
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:11.399
Pat and Van and we'll go from
there. My goal today was not to
211
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.080
get in trouble with my wife or
anybody at my church. I think I'm
212
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:20.399
over too already. So yeah,
all right, very good. Well,
213
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.039
guys, I think we're ready to
get started on drafting our Bond girls.
214
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.799
So Jason Colvin, you are on
the clock. Yes, okay, Well,
215
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.120
this is the first pick out of
the gate. Thank you very much,
216
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.159
Dave. I know who I'm gonna
take, and I'll tell you right
217
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:39.320
off the bat. This is the
girl who impacted me the most emotionally when
218
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:45.399
I watched this movie. Okay,
so she actually dies in the movie.
219
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:52.440
This, of course is Vesper Landa. I'm going Vesper right out of the
220
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.399
gate from Casino Royale. She was
she was playing Bond, but she actually
221
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:01.919
fell in love with him, and
then her death scene was just incredibly moving.
222
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:05.519
And I love Casino Royale. So
I'm taking Vesper right out of the
223
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:07.639
gate. That would have probably been
my first pick. Jason, Hey,
224
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.399
can I just say that the thing
I was thinking about strategy wise here is
225
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.240
something I learned from fantasy football.
You don't necessarily take the one you want
226
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.840
the most or you like the most. You take the one that's going to
227
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.759
be the hardest to get later.
That's true. And if you hadn't taken
228
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:24.559
her, I would have eventually.
So yeah, that was a very good
229
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.200
move. I think, thank you, thank you, all right, very
230
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:30.720
good. No other thoughts on that. We'll move on ahead. Jeff,
231
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:35.360
you're up, Well, I'll tell
you like Van, Vesper definitely would have
232
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:39.000
been my choice. So I've got
my ranking system that I came up with,
233
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.759
So I'm gonna go to my number
two overall pick, which happens to
234
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.200
be the very first Bond girl for
me. Talking about Honor Blackman in nineteen
235
00:15:48.279 --> 00:16:00.240
sixty four, is Goldfinger playing pussy
Galore. I must be dreaming. That's
236
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.600
a good one. I mean,
most people know her name. She's got
237
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.480
that great bond name. Yeah,
you know, she was thirty nine at
238
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.759
the time of filming Goldfinger. She
was the only Bond girl older than the
239
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:15.879
bond actor until Monica Bellucci inspector.
Wow. Yeah, I thought I thought
240
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:18.720
Monica had the record, but I
didn't know. I didn't know Honor was
241
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:22.639
that close. So older than Sean
Connery, yeah, wow, And she
242
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.519
was a I mean she was such
a great character, like an actual strong
243
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:29.759
part of that movie. And I
mean, like, you know, she's
244
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:33.720
a pilot too, which like immediately
makes higher street creds. So yeah,
245
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.279
very cool character. She's a lesbian
and Sean Connery's bond is able to bring
246
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.879
her over to the side, so
that right there. You couldn't do that
247
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:45.399
today, but whatever. Yeah.
I love the fact that you know,
248
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:48.720
she she's film fatale, you know, classic film fatale, because you know
249
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:51.919
she she goes toe to toe with
him. You know, she's not the
250
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.360
damsel in distress that you typically see
a Bond girl be so uh like like
251
00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:00.639
Pat was saying, she's definitely got
strength. I love that her all right,
252
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.279
So we'll keep going. So Pat, you're up next. You're on
253
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:06.039
the clock. Van. You kind
of foreshadowed where I was going with this.
254
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:08.880
I've got to pick one of my
favorite actresses of all time that when
255
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:11.599
I found out she was going to
be a Bond girl, Miss Monica Bellucci,
256
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:17.319
I was like absolutely floored, and
I so, I'm gonna go out
257
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:25.880
of the gate. I'm gonna Luccia
Skiara, And I gotta be honest.
258
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:27.759
They always say like they had been
careful with the fantasy draft. Don't just
259
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:30.319
you know, pick from your favorite
team or pick for your favorite you know,
260
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:33.319
and all that. But I'm just
gonna break that rule because I love
261
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:40.319
everything that I've seen Monica Bellucci acting. And it's an understatement to say she's
262
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:45.119
an incredibly attractive human being. But
what I think is amazing is kind of
263
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.319
what we were talking about with the
actress that that was in the first Bond
264
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.519
film. She was older than Daniel
Craig at the time. You know,
265
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.119
you start reading about this that so
many you know that you cast like a
266
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:59.559
fifty five year old dude with like
a twenty year old gale and it's like,
267
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:02.279
okay, well, you know,
where is this all coming from you
268
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:06.559
know, and but she gets on
screen and I mean, she is incredibly
269
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:10.559
attractive on screen. The hard part
is that she has only a small part
270
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:12.880
of the movie. But my gosh, what's done with that time? The
271
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:18.839
scene where she's walking in in the
movie Specter, the after the funeral scene,
272
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:22.599
and she's just walking in and you
see on her face like just resignation
273
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:25.440
that she knows that she's going to
be you know, assassinated next, and
274
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:29.240
it's just the camera follows her and
you're immediately captivated by the way she walks
275
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:33.240
and just the most subtle facial expressions. And then when the assassins appear and
276
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.680
you can see she resolution she knows
what's coming next. Then surprise that when
277
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.119
Bond saves her, and then the
anger it all flashes, and all it
278
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.319
is it's just a couple of looks, you know, just a couple of
279
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:47.000
like, you know, twitches here
and there, a little eyebrow rays here.
280
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.440
I mean, what she can communicate
is pretty amazing. So that's going
281
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:52.319
to be my first pick out of
the gate. That's good. I've listened
282
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.200
to thirties something enough to know that
that was probably gonna be high on your
283
00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:59.200
list. Yeah, I would have
failed myself if I didn't go there.
284
00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:03.279
So let's let's be let's be honest. I don't care what kind of lists
285
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:06.400
we're putting it together. If Monica
Baladuchi is not at the top of it,
286
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:11.240
something's wrong, you know. Yeah, there you go. Yeah,
287
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:14.079
well, then if it's my turn, let me address that. Actually,
288
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:17.079
because here's what I did. I
made a list the other day off the
289
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:19.640
top of my head, right in
the order I just off the top of
290
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:22.759
my head thought. And then you
guys sent out the list of the five
291
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:26.920
traits to kind of grade them by, and I'm like, oh, which
292
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:30.119
was beauty, talent, chemistry,
importance, I guess to the movie,
293
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:34.920
and X Factor. I reordered my
entire list using a scale of one to
294
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:38.400
ten for each of those things,
and the order completely changed. Because there
295
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:42.079
were Bond girls that I did not
rate highly just on terms of how I
296
00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:47.480
feel about them, But when I
categorized them by how they ranked in those
297
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:49.279
things, I was like, WHOA. There were some that came way up
298
00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:52.799
and there were a few that went
down. I will say this, the
299
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.079
two highest on my draft board are
still there. I got to pick which
300
00:19:56.079 --> 00:20:00.680
one of those I want to grab
and you've each take I have four pages
301
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:03.480
of Bond Girls, and you've taken
one from page one, page two,
302
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:06.599
and page three. So far,
so interesting. All right, So I
303
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:10.839
gotta like, I say, my
rule of fantasy drafting is take the one
304
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:17.279
that's take the highest value when it's
available, and so I am taking Solitaire.
305
00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:30.519
Jane seymour Oom. That's a good
one. I'm glad she was there.
306
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:37.480
I think she's my favorite Jane seymour
She uh, she cast into a
307
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.759
Bond film at just the right time
of her career. I've been a big
308
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:45.319
fan of Solitaire. Is it funny
that she's in a Bond movie? In
309
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:51.759
seventy three and five years later,
Battlestar Galactica says, introducing Jane Seymour y,
310
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.079
what she's a Bond girl? What
are you talking about? Introducing to
311
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:04.640
spaces Van. I'm it looks I'll
tell you right now. That's my Solitaire
312
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:07.480
was my number three. Overall.
I'm not even sad about you taking her
313
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:11.440
because I knew. I knew Jason's
a big fan of her wardrobe in that
314
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:14.079
show, in that movie. He
says, I knew if you weren't taking
315
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:17.759
her, he probably was, So
yeah, great, pick Van. Did
316
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:22.920
you know that she she did Playboy
at age sixty seven and that's it?
317
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.960
Well, she could, I'm sure
she can. He's incredible. Yeah,
318
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:30.759
for the part of Solitaire. They
actually were interested in Goldie han and Helen
319
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:36.079
Mirren for that role. I did
not know that about that. Wow,
320
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:41.640
I think Helen seventy three, Helen
Mirren. Yeah, that would have worked,
321
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:44.960
Goldie Hawn. That's a that's an
interesting choice. Yeah, you know
322
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:49.079
she she's more of the wacky helper
to Bond. I would think. Yeah,
323
00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:52.200
he's more good Night than Solitaire.
Yeah, she's definitely good Night.
324
00:21:52.960 --> 00:22:04.039
She's more Denise Richards category. What
don't be me? Yeah, fellow doubles,
325
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:08.039
I mean, no one's drafting these
Richards on my number two. Overall,
326
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:18.920
she's on the board. But we
don't get Christmas very good. All
327
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:22.440
right, So we are going in
a snake format, which means Van,
328
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:26.480
you get to pick again. Oh. Now here's the here's the question.
329
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.880
Do I think number one I have
now taken? I'm not taking number two
330
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:33.720
off the board. I went ahead
and took number two instead of number one
331
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:37.319
off on my draft board because I
thought that was the right pick. Now
332
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.039
the question is if it's number one
on my draft board. Do I think
333
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:45.720
that they're gonna pop up again before
I get to pick again? Maybe my
334
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:48.759
number one, you see the strategy. Maybe my number one is just me?
335
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:53.079
Or do I really want her so
bad I gotta go ahead and spend
336
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:59.200
that second pick. But honestly,
oh my gosh, yeah, I think
337
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:02.720
she's gonna still be there. I
think she's gonna still be there. So
338
00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:06.920
I'm gonna go down the board a
little bit and get another high powered banger.
339
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:11.160
This is a top five bond girl. I'm taking Molina have a lot,
340
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:22.200
Carol Bouquet from For Your Eyes Only, Boom. I feel very good
341
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:26.000
about that pick. Molina, have
a lot. I like have a lot.
342
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:30.839
Okay, yep, the Greek crossbow
wielder, that's right, the steely
343
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:33.079
blue eyes. I have a soft
spot for her just because she was my
344
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:36.960
first bond girl. Oh, there
you go. She's something. And then
345
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:41.359
later number five spokesgirl. Right,
that's right, you can't go wrong there.
346
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:44.240
Let's see if my number one overall
is going to be there in five
347
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:51.920
picks, I'm gonna be like putting
bullets now. She auditioned for the role
348
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:57.599
of doctor Goodhead, which came before
eyes only, right, so she came
349
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:00.440
back, try to get like her
enough to bring her back. So how
350
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.880
about that? And she would have
been an odd choice for doctor goodhead.
351
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:10.200
That's I think they went the right. She's more exotic. Yeah there,
352
00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:12.680
very good. All right, So
we're back to pet. So I've been
353
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.839
sitting here like making notes and scratching
out and trying to do that, you
354
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.359
know, and all this kind of
thing, and uh, you know,
355
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:22.200
and then you brought up like the
ranking system and this, and so you
356
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:25.079
know, then I threw it all
out the window, you know all that.
357
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:29.000
So all right, so enough enough
of this kind of threatening around over
358
00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:41.119
here. I'm gonna go. I'm
gonna go with Michelle. Yo. That
359
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.160
was my number one on my board
right there. Sorry, I'm sorry,
360
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:52.440
I misspoke. I'm going with may
Day. No, okay, So so
361
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:56.119
I'm dude, I'm sorry. See
now I feel bad and this is no
362
00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.720
that was my choice. I'm just
saying she'll be there six picks from now.
363
00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:04.880
Yeah, I'm sorry, man,
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm
364
00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:08.039
just well, I mean you probably
could fill in the gaps too. I
365
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:14.079
mean, awesome action star, awesome
fighting skills, viable part of the movie
366
00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:18.759
excellent counterpoint to Bond as well as
Pierce Brosnan. I love motorcycles and check
367
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:22.359
that scene out. That's pretty a
great scene, right, It's just great.
368
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:25.640
You know the movies that I was
seeing in the in the in the
369
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:27.200
nineties. You know, I'm sure
she had like a huge body of work
370
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:30.640
beyond that, but I mean,
like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It
371
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.920
just you know, so we'd seen
that seeing her in Bond, that that
372
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:37.799
was awesome, and so like jumping
in like as an actress, but then
373
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:40.200
also as a character, like if
I was going to go on a secret
374
00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:42.359
mission, like I would want her
back in the up and so I yeah,
375
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:45.720
I'm sorry, man, Van,
why don't you jump in with your
376
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:48.440
thought I'm feeling bad now, I'm
feeling bad. No, no, no,
377
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:51.400
no. I was my role in
the dies. I just thought that,
378
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:55.119
like the I just thought, like
the hot Bonds and stuff would go
379
00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:56.920
first. And she is a kind
of a tough action girl. Might hang
380
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:02.200
around a little longer, but she's
always been my number one Bond girl.
381
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:07.359
She's one of the two Bond characters
other than Bond and Felix. She's one
382
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.880
of the other two characters I want
a solo series out of I want a
383
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:18.759
Waylin series and a Tiger Tanaka series. Those two would kick butt and solo
384
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:21.960
series, and they almost did it. They talked about doing a Michelle Yo
385
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:25.200
spy series and they ended up not
doing it because Ion always makes the wrong
386
00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:29.279
choice and things like that. Yeah, it's fantastic. Yeah, I've read
387
00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:30.799
that, and it's kind of like, how does that stuff not get made?
388
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.960
When I try to deal with all
the other how do you not do
389
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:37.119
it? Yeah? He Van,
I'll tell you if you've seen if if
390
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.319
you guys have seen everything everywhere all
at once, she could absolutely still be
391
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:45.480
Waylin and do an action series.
As far as i'm she was amazing in
392
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:48.079
that she's she's amazing overall. Good
pick Pat. I was familiar. I
393
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:52.920
happened to be familiar with her through
Jackie Chan movies, and so it's my
394
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:56.920
impression at the time, and you
tell me if I'm right or wrong,
395
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.960
was that she really was like the
first one to me that was more,
396
00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:06.759
was a lot more than just I
Candy, and was like legitimately had the
397
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:11.839
most agency of no pun intended of
any Bond girl and was really a significant
398
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:14.279
character in her own right in her
own strength and all that kind of stuff.
399
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:15.400
Is that was that? Is that
really kind of was she the new
400
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:19.519
standard once that happened, once that
movie came out to a degree. Yeah,
401
00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:23.279
my favorite story about her is she
flew over from Hong Kong and she
402
00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:26.119
gets there and they're like, oh, you speak English. She says,
403
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:32.279
yeah, I learned on the plane. All right. So we're back to
404
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:36.039
Jeff. Well, I'll tell you
something we're doing. We're doing this football
405
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:41.440
style draft. And one thing I
love about what Jason indeed you on Surely
406
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:44.799
You Can't Be Serious podcast is the
deep dive. They they're always giving us
407
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:48.119
the fun facts and the stuff you
never thought of. Right. I love
408
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:51.200
it, and I'm expecting Jason.
I'm expecting a lot of that from Jason
409
00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:55.119
today. But man, I would
also get a little nervous because I'm afraid
410
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:57.599
like when he says certain things,
it's almost like I got a draft a
411
00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:02.039
running back and then the guy next
you started talking about the running backs that
412
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:06.400
are still available, and your your
three picks away. So Jason, Jason
413
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:10.240
Ray dropped this name, but uh, my number two pick is gonna be
414
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:25.839
nineteen seventy nines. Holly Goodhead played
by the lovely lowiest childs in uh Moonraker
415
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:33.799
woman, Yes, yea one of
the worst. Yeah woman, Yeah,
416
00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:38.519
and what very observant of you.
From that point the rest of the movie.
417
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:41.279
She's just pissed off at him.
I love that. Yeah. Yeah,
418
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.440
They've got great chemistry in that and
that one because because of that,
419
00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:48.640
you know, they really ratchet up
the battle of the sexes in Moonraker and
420
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:52.119
let's let's be honest again, not
a damsel distress. She's the one flying
421
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:55.720
the shuttle at the end of the
you know, she's saving the day.
422
00:28:55.920 --> 00:29:00.839
I'm quickly realizing that I've I've now
drafted two of the most notoriously named Bond
423
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:07.640
girls in the franchise. Um,
that was not part of my my agenda,
424
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:11.359
I assure you. I have a
question which movie had the more believable
425
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:22.680
outer outer space scenes, Moonraker or
Superman four? I think, Oh man,
426
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:29.039
I just gave all the podcast like
an idea for I'm going with the
427
00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:34.599
attempted re entry by Bond and movie. Yeah, I'll take I'll take good
428
00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:42.720
Head over the Quest for Peace any
day, all right, So uh to
429
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:47.799
in the first round, we're back
to, We're back to Jason Colvin,
430
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:51.759
Jason, what you got? Okay? My number two overall pick is still
431
00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:56.640
available. So I'm super excited.
So I'm a guy. This is gonna
432
00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:00.160
get me in trouble too. I
like the girls that like, she's either
433
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.880
gonna kill me or I'm gonna have
the greatest sex of my life. Right
434
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:15.960
So so so I'm taking Zanya on
the top Jansen from Golden Eye, who
435
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:19.160
had the killer thighs and wanted to
kill Bond. But man, she was
436
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:26.720
spoken in that mood so taken.
Do you know that they wanted Courtney Cox
437
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:29.640
for that role? How about that? Oh my gosh, I could I
438
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:30.920
could see. I could see that
with some of the stuff, you know,
439
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:34.920
we we we we quickly always look
at her as as Monica from Friends,
440
00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:37.000
but some of her roles, I
could I could see that she could
441
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:40.119
have done that. You know,
I would have put her in a Terry
442
00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:44.640
Hatcher category. But yes, yes, yeah, but I think Pinky has
443
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:48.680
that exotic flavor that's gonna make her
a better Bond girl than than Courtney Cox,
444
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:52.839
I think. But you know,
I love Golden Eye. That was
445
00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:56.759
that was when it came out,
it was immediately my favorite one I'd ever
446
00:30:56.799 --> 00:31:00.400
seen. But it was also it
was on the top that would really made
447
00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:02.720
me go, oh, I need
to be a pay attention to these girls.
448
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:04.319
Names like that one to come high, you know, come on here.
449
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:07.640
And I was like, okay,
you know, other than a couple
450
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:11.960
of the obvious ones that Jeff's already
drafted, a lot of the others had
451
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:14.960
gotten past me, so so that
one always stands out. I like Golden
452
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:18.039
Alt No more trivia from the Shirley. You can't be serious, guy,
453
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:19.920
No, no, keep going man. All right, so we're starting round
454
00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:23.400
two. We're gonna do another snake, but this time well it'll start and
455
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:27.319
end with Jeff, Jeff, what
you got. This is tough because I'm
456
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:32.279
I'm kind of I'm seeing how some
of the guys are going with you know,
457
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:34.200
hey, not not at the top
of my order, but I kind
458
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:37.960
of wonder. So I'm gonna do
that. This isn't my next overall pick,
459
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:41.240
but I'm gonna dip down a little
bit. I gotta I gotta take
460
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:47.880
Honey Rider, uh miss the Lovely
Ursula andres from Doctor No. Nineteen sixty
461
00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:51.640
two. Good for all the right
reasons. Let's be honest. The bond
462
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:56.079
girl. That's a thing because of
Ursula Andrews. She's she's where it all
463
00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:59.079
started, you know, she coming
out of that water and the white the
464
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:02.200
white bikini with the dagger, you
know. And I gotta say, even
465
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:07.680
for I have to believe anyone that's
even whether you're a hardcore fan, you
466
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:12.640
know, or you're just the casual
viewer, everybody knows that scene. Everyone
467
00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:16.240
knows that that look and they related
to James Bond. So taking a taking
468
00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:20.920
honey Rider, Yeah, that's a
great bake man. Some of those old
469
00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:24.359
sixties women, they seem a little
bit like a young version of my grandmother
470
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:29.400
or something. But Ursula Andres,
her beauty, it's timeless, which I
471
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:30.119
told you. I don't know if
I told you this, Jeff. But
472
00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:37.119
researching these Bond girls, Ursula Andres
had a love affair with Harry Hamlin on
473
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:39.960
the set of Clashing the Titans,
and they had a son from that relationship,
474
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:43.880
I was like, get out of
town. Think about the genetics there.
475
00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:52.480
That's that's that's that's a great looking
kid aphrodite. And so I mean
476
00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:55.359
that that shot of her walking out
in the white bikini, you know,
477
00:32:55.599 --> 00:33:00.720
and being in the first movie,
I think really icon in one of the
478
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:04.160
defining moments that to kind of set
the pace and the framework going forward,
479
00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:07.279
and I'm sure it was made a
huge impact on American audiences in sixty three.
480
00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:09.519
It's, uh, you know,
it's just one of those, I
481
00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:13.920
think on those iconic film moments that
kind of let everybody know right away that
482
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:17.240
this this whole franchise head legs.
Well. They even copied it themselves later
483
00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:22.720
with halle Berry and then later with
Daniel Craig. So it's like happened three
484
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:27.480
times in the movies. Yeah,
right right, remember the halle Berry homage
485
00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:30.079
there? All right, very good. So we're gonna go with Pat Pat,
486
00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:35.519
You're up next, Okay, So
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go
487
00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:46.920
with Holoma from No Time to Die
And that was played by Anna d'armis and
488
00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:52.559
Jason I think I'm off your Christmas
card list now I love I love her
489
00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:58.359
and that yes, funny, yeah, amazing. And so so here's what
490
00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:00.440
I mean. You know, like, like I said, big fan,
491
00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:02.400
and when this film came out,
it was you know, like getting back
492
00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:05.799
to the theaters after COVID and all
this kind of thing. I'm like,
493
00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:07.840
okay, I am going back,
and I don't care if I'm going by
494
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:12.320
myself, I'm going to see this
movie in the theaters. And so I
495
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:15.000
got a chance to see it,
and I loved the whole movie, and
496
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:17.400
she was such a wonderful part of
the movie and the thing that I loved.
497
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:20.840
And it was like I was sitting
in a theater almost wishing, like,
498
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:22.280
man, I wish I was at
home so I could like rewind and
499
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:25.960
watch these scenes again, because what
I found amazing is that it first,
500
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:30.679
it started off in my mind like
the stereotypical Bond girl, right, and
501
00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:34.519
like all of a sudden, it
was like, okay, she's she seems
502
00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:37.000
a little bit bubbly, she seems
a little out of place. I'm sure
503
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:38.480
that Daniel Craig is going to have
to bail her out. And then I
504
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:43.639
started realizing kind of my own age, realizing, okay, I'm closer to
505
00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:47.559
Daniel craig age than I am to
her age. So that kind of reshaped
506
00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:51.719
how I was looking at this character. And then when when the action,
507
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:55.840
like you know, when when everything
started dusting up and she was incredibly capable
508
00:34:57.239 --> 00:35:00.000
at handling herself, incredibly capable in
a fight. I mean, was like
509
00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:04.920
an effective part of the team.
I was just blown away with this because
510
00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:07.280
it was such a bait and switch. You were totally expecting that, Okay,
511
00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:09.280
this is gonna be a little She's
gonna be out of storts and Bond's
512
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:12.920
gonna have to help her out.
And the other thing that it only occurred
513
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:15.400
to me after and then I was
rewatching, is you know, at first,
514
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:19.320
Bond's kind of taken aback by her. She couldn't be less interested in
515
00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:22.159
him as a person or like as
like an attractive thing. Like even when
516
00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:24.800
she's like, here, change clothes
and he's just like, well, aren't
517
00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:27.760
you gonna and she goes, oh, you need me to turn around?
518
00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:30.559
Like it it didn't even occur to
her, and it was so great that,
519
00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:32.920
Okay, now you have a Bond
girl. But they show and it
520
00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:37.119
was such an effective way to show
the age was like, and that's kind
521
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:39.079
of where I'm starting to feel closer
Bond, Like he's not even on her
522
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:43.639
radar, like in terms of like
physical attraction. She is all about the
523
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:45.840
mission. And I'm just like,
how awesome is that? Like you got
524
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:51.000
someone you were baited into thinking she's
inexperience. She's so focused on the mission,
525
00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:53.760
so capable at executing the mission.
I was like blown away with that
526
00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:57.679
character. I thought, I thought
it was I thought it was awesome,
527
00:35:57.719 --> 00:36:01.440
and the way Anna Dharmas played it
was was fantastic. She played Marilyn Monroe
528
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:07.559
down the Road in a movie called
Blonde. So the main character in Knives
529
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:12.719
Out and I believe is that she
Isn't she in the spinoff? She's about
530
00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:15.679
to do the spin off, the
John Wick spinoff Ballerina. I thought,
531
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:21.000
I haven't heard. Yes, she's
there, I'm there. Yeah, had
532
00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:23.199
I gotta say, I'm, I'm
I'm I'm tracking your list. And if
533
00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:27.599
there's if there's one word I could
call it, I would say exotic.
534
00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:32.719
There we go, There we go. They're both Craig movies, right,
535
00:36:34.039 --> 00:36:36.480
Two of two of the three are
yeah, Yeah he took. He also
536
00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:44.079
took Michelle. Yeah, in case
you forgot, you forgot. I don't
537
00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:47.360
think he forgot, so Van,
you're on the clock, all right.
538
00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:51.239
So I was just looking at my
draft board here, and of the fifth
539
00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:55.599
of my top fifteen, eight are
gone, but there's seven left and I
540
00:36:55.679 --> 00:37:00.039
have four that are all tied.
So my number five, six, seven,
541
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:04.280
and eight are really just tied.
For fifth. So I just gotta
542
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:07.119
basically flip up roll of four sided
die to figure out where I'm going here,
543
00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:10.480
because they're all totally tied and they're
equally good. Yeah. Oh,
544
00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:14.280
by the way, talking about Daniel
Craig, he is like a week younger
545
00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:16.079
than me. I don't have the
mileage that he does, I don't think.
546
00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:20.480
But I haven't done some of the
things he's done, though, so
547
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:25.400
I missed out on that part.
But anyway, sure, yeah, all
548
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:29.360
right, So I gotta make a
choice here, and I've got five.
549
00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:32.760
I got four tied together to choose
among and I mean, you really can't
550
00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:36.559
go wrong with any of these,
So I'm gonna gonnagain. I'm using my
551
00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:40.800
strategy of high value target. And
I look at these four, and one
552
00:37:40.840 --> 00:37:45.920
of them is I think a little
more special, just a tiny bit more
553
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:51.639
special, because she's the only one
on the entire draft board. That is
554
00:37:51.719 --> 00:38:10.760
Missus James Bond. Oh yes,
making Vincenzo better known as Tracy Bond.
555
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:15.760
Diana rigg from on her Majesty's secret
service. I can't believe she's still here
556
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:17.480
in round three. So I gotta
jump, I gotta I have to jump
557
00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:22.639
on Diana Rigg if you'll excuse me, Yeah, Van, you're becoming that.
558
00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:27.559
You're becoming the guy that steals my
picks now, like you're that guy
559
00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:34.880
Pat meanwhile, Pat? Okay,
so not just me? Yeah? Very
560
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:37.920
good. Well, speaking of ages, I figured out that I am right
561
00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:43.119
now the same age Sean Connery was
in Never Say Never Again. Wow.
562
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:47.079
You know, I'm not attracting com
basing her types, but I think I'm
563
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:51.519
doing pretty good for myself. All
right. When I first saw Fore Your
564
00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:54.800
Eyes Only, you have that opening
scene where he's visiting her grave, that's
565
00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:59.039
right, and so I was like, whoa, what is this? Like?
566
00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:01.519
What what's story is being told here
that I don't know? And so
567
00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:05.079
that kind of helped drive my interest
in Bond. I had to find out
568
00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:07.400
who is Teresa Bond? You know, So there you go. That's great,
569
00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:09.559
and you know, I don't want
to get too far off the track,
570
00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:13.519
but you know, it's funny on
her Majesty's seecret service. I don't
571
00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:15.800
want to say was ignored, but
it was always like Daniel or not Daniel,
572
00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:20.519
the Sean Connery and the Roger Moore
Bonds like growing up and that's what
573
00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:23.079
my grandparents and it was only when
I got to college that one of my
574
00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:27.519
friends was like, on Her Majesty's
Secret Service is the best Bond film ever.
575
00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:30.280
This was this was like early nineties, and I'd like, really,
576
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:32.639
and he goes the best ever watch, you know, and the only thing
577
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:36.760
is, like he got the actor
that por trade Bond. You know,
578
00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:38.079
he had a favorite, you know, I think he liked Sean Connery or
579
00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:42.039
whatnot. But yeah, then I
watched on Her Majesty's Secret Service and I
580
00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:45.159
was blown away, and I thought, missus Bond like that. That movie
581
00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:47.199
is awesome and somehow in maybe now, I don't know how you guys are
582
00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:50.519
with it, but it almost kind
of fell in the cracks growing up,
583
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:52.800
you know, between all the other
ones going out there. Well, the
584
00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:54.400
thing was they wouldn't show it on
ABC like they did Live In like that
585
00:39:54.800 --> 00:40:00.000
and and the others, and it
was not financially successful like the That's one
586
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:04.000
of the reasons that he didn't return. The other reason was he quit because
587
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:07.079
he got all bighead thinking he was
the biggest start in the world. But
588
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:12.599
the thing about that Jason you mentioned
about Seeing the Grave, that movie was
589
00:40:12.719 --> 00:40:15.400
the only one where they just filmed
the book Peter Hunt, the editor,
590
00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:19.039
was allowed to direct that one,
and he said, I'm not gonna do
591
00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:21.920
some you know, take the book
and mess it all up. We're just
592
00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:23.679
going to film the book, and
they did, and it really doesn't fit
593
00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:28.280
into the series. In fact,
Blowfeld is in that movie and he's never
594
00:40:28.320 --> 00:40:30.320
seen Bond before when he just fought
Bond in the previous movie. It doesn't
595
00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:34.800
fit in. And you could have
just said it's like outside of continuity,
596
00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:38.360
except for for your eyes only brings
it back into continuity, so you're stuck
597
00:40:38.360 --> 00:40:42.719
with it being Yeah, so it's
very confusing, but yeah, that's absolutely
598
00:40:42.840 --> 00:40:45.119
It's easy for me as a casual
fan to dismiss it. You know,
599
00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:49.039
it's easy to think to myself that
one doesn't really count because it was just
600
00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:52.679
a one shot for Lazenbi. That's
the movie that the real Bond connoisseurs consider
601
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:55.079
the best in the series. By
the way, it's the one the casual
602
00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:59.519
fans think is the worst and the
Bond fans think is the best generally,
603
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:01.280
because true us to the book.
Okay, good, pick, good,
604
00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:06.960
pick, all right, So Jason, you get two in a row here,
605
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:08.760
So Jason, what's your first one? Oh, I'm so excited that
606
00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:13.760
both of these people are still available. So Van, I think mentioned that
607
00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:17.519
the ABC movies being shown in the
seventies and eighties, and that's kind of
608
00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:21.760
where I I caught on, I
guess in the early eighties. So I
609
00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:25.679
watched The Spy Who Loved Me on
ABC and absolutely fell in love. That's
610
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:30.840
my favorite Roger Moore James Bond movie. It even surpasses for you, I
611
00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:34.400
was only which was on my first
Love. So I love The Spy Who
612
00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:38.679
Love Me? And so I am
taking Agent Triple X as my next pick.
613
00:41:50.039 --> 00:41:53.719
I'm yeah, I'm a silva missus
ringo star played by Barbara Bach.
614
00:41:54.039 --> 00:42:01.360
Her dress was captivating as a man
so to say the least, Jason,
615
00:42:01.920 --> 00:42:06.880
I, I appreciate her. Again, I hate the movie for personal reasons.
616
00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:10.159
She is not my favorite Bond girl
in that movie. Oh what,
617
00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:15.000
yeah, my gosh, wow,
it's interesting. This is interesting. It's
618
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:19.519
such a subjective thing, right,
It's all a subjective thing. It's that's
619
00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:22.440
what's so cool. Yeah. Do
you know that she recommended Grace Jones for
620
00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:25.760
a view to a kill? Oh
wow, I thought that was an interesting
621
00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:30.480
tidbit. So and yarn good recommendation. Heck, yeah, okay, So
622
00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:32.719
am I back to back here yep, back to about you get your second
623
00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:37.480
pick? All right, all right, I am taking the thirty eight year
624
00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:52.760
old beautiful bod Adams as octopusy otos
yeah ye. Even though technically she should
625
00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:58.039
be on the board twice, she
should be well two different characters. I
626
00:42:58.079 --> 00:43:01.880
feel like her chemistry with Roger were
because they are both similar ages that I
627
00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:06.800
believed it a lot more than him
chasing some of these younger girls or no
628
00:43:06.920 --> 00:43:16.039
baby throwing herself at him and that
type of thing. So alone, Beab's
629
00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:22.960
on my board, but not highly
yeah so uh. I think we're all
630
00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:27.119
comic book fans here. Um.
When the last time I did a Little
631
00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:31.559
Bond marathon over the weekend, I
was struck by Maud Adams just by how
632
00:43:31.719 --> 00:43:37.280
similar she looked to a John Busema
drawing. I think, h he's one
633
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:39.679
of the best artists when it comes
to drawing women, and he has a
634
00:43:39.760 --> 00:43:44.800
distinct style. And I think Maud
Adams, especially in this movie, looks
635
00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:49.639
like a John Busma drawing brought to
I'm seeing it. I am absolutely seeing
636
00:43:49.679 --> 00:43:52.000
that now. Wow, So she
makes an impression on me. She has
637
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:54.440
to go high on my board too. All right, very good? Well,
638
00:43:54.599 --> 00:43:59.039
uh, Jeff, I'm afraid Jason
took one of your one of your
639
00:43:59.199 --> 00:44:04.000
you know, juice your names off
the board for you. I couldn't take
640
00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:07.119
them, all right. When I
was at the movie there, I was
641
00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:09.719
just gonna show, let's say this. In nineteen eighty three, I went
642
00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:14.280
to the movie there with my dad, and the guy came out and said,
643
00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:17.519
the last screening for octopusy has been
sold out. And these teenagers behind
644
00:44:17.519 --> 00:44:22.320
me, they're like, Octor what
oct What? My dad was like,
645
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:27.079
did you ever act that way in
public? I'll kill you? Did you
646
00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:30.519
just turn around and watch Never Say
Never again? Instead? I think I
647
00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:35.800
watched Super Band three. Actually,
all right, so let's keep it going,
648
00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:40.880
and it's a tragedy story from all
right, Van, you're back on
649
00:44:40.880 --> 00:44:44.800
the flock. It's back to you. Well, of my top seven on
650
00:44:44.880 --> 00:44:49.280
the board, two are still available, so and then two of my top
651
00:44:49.320 --> 00:44:52.119
two more in the top top ten, so to four available here. Let
652
00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:55.239
me see, I still got three
of those that are equally ranked, and
653
00:44:55.280 --> 00:44:59.679
I I gotta figure out which one
of them is the most gets the most
654
00:44:59.800 --> 00:45:01.480
valid value. I'll put it this
way. I got a Connery, a
655
00:45:01.599 --> 00:45:06.760
Craig, and a Brasening. I
haven't picked a Craig yet. I don't
656
00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:09.239
think you still got girls left in
the Spider Loved Me. I just reminding
657
00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:14.719
you this is true. I do, I do. But she's pretty far
658
00:45:14.760 --> 00:45:16.039
down though. But you know what, I'm gonna have to go with this
659
00:45:16.199 --> 00:45:20.840
the classic. I gotta go with
just the Clares. The thing that's cool
660
00:45:20.880 --> 00:45:23.639
about two of them is like neat, but this is just the classic.
661
00:45:23.760 --> 00:45:27.800
I would be remiss not to take
her when she's there. We just had
662
00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:34.000
a Russian agent taked I'm taking another
Russian agent, Tatiana Romanova Daniella Beyanti from
663
00:45:34.079 --> 00:45:47.320
Russia with Love Nice. Yeah.
I mean, she doesn't do a whole
664
00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:55.039
lot in that movie, dang,
but she does a lot a lot for
665
00:45:55.079 --> 00:46:00.760
you. She's arguably the most beautiful
of all the Bond girls. I would
666
00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:02.519
argue, I think if you had
it, if you had just a beauty
667
00:46:02.559 --> 00:46:06.800
contest, I think she might be
number one. That's why the k selected
668
00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:09.239
her. Yeah, right, And
I'm sorry, what was the character's name,
669
00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:15.199
Tatiana Romanova related to Black Widow?
I was gonna say every Russian agent
670
00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:21.760
apparently his named Romanoff. It is
all royalty bizarre. All right, very
671
00:46:21.800 --> 00:46:22.880
good, let's keep it going.
Pat, you'rerope, You're on the clock.
672
00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:25.840
I was actually until you made that
pick, I was kind of like
673
00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:29.800
torn between the next two. But
this, this is this is that.
674
00:46:29.880 --> 00:46:31.199
Just say okay, it takes one
of my picks off the board. There.
675
00:46:31.719 --> 00:46:47.599
Um, I'm gonna go with the
movie Thunderball and Fiona Volpai. Oh
676
00:46:47.639 --> 00:46:55.480
there you golay Yeah, And uh
so Thunderball was I remember seeing all the
677
00:46:55.480 --> 00:46:59.039
Bond movies growing up as a kid, but Thunderball was the one that really
678
00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:01.119
stuck in my mind because I love
the water. I love the ocean,
679
00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:04.960
I love the swimming, I love
all of that, and so as a
680
00:47:05.039 --> 00:47:07.880
kid, I love boats. I
loved water, and that summed it all
681
00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:12.280
up. And what I liked about
the Fiona character was that she was tough.
682
00:47:12.599 --> 00:47:14.719
I mean, I know, she
was like, you know, on
683
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:19.599
the bad guy side, but I
mean like she was like capable and I'm
684
00:47:19.599 --> 00:47:22.719
just reading kind of like one of
the bio she has no issue killing anyone
685
00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:25.639
who gets in her way or screws
up the mission, and like, you
686
00:47:25.679 --> 00:47:29.840
know, like I mean to say
that, you know, killing anyone,
687
00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:31.119
but I mean, like We've all
had days like that where it's just like,
688
00:47:31.159 --> 00:47:34.360
Okay, if anybody screws up the
mission, they're going to deal with
689
00:47:34.400 --> 00:47:37.760
my bad side, you know.
So I really I just I appreciated that
690
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:42.360
that, you know, like she
just came out and I'm repeating myself from
691
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:45.119
some of the other characters, but
it was just like super focused, super
692
00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:50.119
professional, and dangerous because she was
on the bad guy side, right but
693
00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:52.800
for the bad guy side, super
effective. So it was just fun watching
694
00:47:52.840 --> 00:47:57.480
her on screen. And she just
has to you know, you know,
695
00:47:57.719 --> 00:48:00.559
check her six when Bond swirls her
around with the dam you know. I
696
00:48:00.599 --> 00:48:05.920
would hope that if they reshot this
movie today, they would do everything the
697
00:48:05.960 --> 00:48:08.599
same, but as opposed to getting
like shot in the back, there would
698
00:48:08.639 --> 00:48:13.559
be some epic fight scene like in
uh, you know, like in some
699
00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:16.400
of the Mission Impossible movies or something
like, you know, like they did
700
00:48:16.599 --> 00:48:20.840
like there would just that would be
awesome. But anyways, I digress.
701
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:24.840
That's that's my that's my What was
that fourth pick um? It would be
702
00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:31.320
Fiona Volpe from Thunderball. She has
one of my favorite Connery moments of all
703
00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:35.480
time. She's in the bathtub and
he comes in and He's just sitting there
704
00:48:35.480 --> 00:48:37.920
talking to her and she's got to
get up, and she says, would
705
00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:43.840
you hand me something to wear?
And he hands her shoes. So correct,
706
00:48:44.760 --> 00:48:49.639
I love it. Can I borrow
your towel? My cards? Just
707
00:48:49.719 --> 00:48:54.800
in a water buffalo? Okay?
So to finish up the round, we
708
00:48:54.880 --> 00:49:00.400
have Jeff on the clock. Well
Van earlier mentioned. We're talking about how
709
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:02.000
we are ranking, how we came
up with our rankings, and you know,
710
00:49:02.199 --> 00:49:06.920
you immediately want to go with your
favorites, right, and then you
711
00:49:06.960 --> 00:49:09.440
start using you know, the clever
ranking system and then you figure out,
712
00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:13.800
wait, this person wasn't even on
my radar, and you know she's my
713
00:49:13.880 --> 00:49:16.880
six pick. She's my six overall, which is surprising to me, but
714
00:49:16.960 --> 00:49:21.800
I mean I gotta go with the
best overall at this point. So,
715
00:49:22.199 --> 00:49:30.599
talking about nineteen eighty nine License to
Kill Pam Bouvier, the Lovely Carry Lowell,
716
00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:44.639
this is one of those things where
I was like, wait, how
717
00:49:44.639 --> 00:49:47.199
did she get How was she so
highly ranked on my list? And I
718
00:49:47.199 --> 00:49:52.360
mean she's a freelance pilot for the
CIA. That's here, X factor shot
719
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:57.320
through the roof on that. You
know, great chemistry with Dalton so and
720
00:49:57.400 --> 00:49:59.760
you know pretty integral to the story. You know, she's the she.
721
00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:02.679
You know she's informing on the on
the bad guy. So surprisingly she was
722
00:50:02.760 --> 00:50:05.840
high on the list, and I
was I'm happy to see that she was
723
00:50:05.880 --> 00:50:08.320
still there. So I'm taking Pam
Bouvier one of my least favorite Bond movies.
724
00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:10.400
I was. I will say,
do you have any Dalton haters here?
725
00:50:10.440 --> 00:50:14.800
Because I actually I actually liked the
Dalton movies. I love Dalton,
726
00:50:15.039 --> 00:50:17.119
I love him as a character.
I liked Living Daylights. But I'm not
727
00:50:17.159 --> 00:50:21.320
a fan of License to Kill.
No, No, it's probably my It's
728
00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:24.199
in my bottom three, along with
a View to a Kill and maybe Octopusy.
729
00:50:24.280 --> 00:50:29.039
Honestly, so, Wayne Newton does
not strike fear into your heart.
730
00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:32.199
No, she's one of the best
things about it. Though I agree,
731
00:50:34.119 --> 00:50:37.119
I can't. I can't see Wayne
Newton striking fear, especially after the the
732
00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:44.079
Andrew dice Clay movie. You know, Newton's the bad guy. Come on,
733
00:50:44.159 --> 00:50:49.440
we could do better. Wayne Newton's
best cinematic appearance was when Ferris Bueler
734
00:50:49.480 --> 00:50:53.199
lip sync to him in Ferris Bueller's
Day Off. I don't need him as
735
00:50:53.239 --> 00:50:59.119
a Bond villain. Okay, guys, so we're picking five girls each today
736
00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:02.440
and everyone has made four picks.
Yes, so we're down to the home
737
00:51:02.519 --> 00:51:07.199
stretch. It's going to go Pat
is up next and then it'll be Van,
738
00:51:07.960 --> 00:51:14.320
Jason and Jeff will close this out. So don't you do it?
739
00:51:14.800 --> 00:51:16.880
Okay? So I'm starting to look
at this and uh, you know,
740
00:51:16.920 --> 00:51:21.239
looking at okay, I'm constructing a
team right now, like it's going to
741
00:51:21.239 --> 00:51:23.280
accomplish a mission, right like,
and how do I balance out the team?
742
00:51:23.639 --> 00:51:28.159
You know in my fantasy world that
like any one of these characters would
743
00:51:28.199 --> 00:51:31.440
follow me anywhere. But the other
thing I look at too, is I
744
00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:37.079
sometimes and if you listen to the
podcast, like the thirty something podcast,
745
00:51:37.199 --> 00:51:39.840
like h sometimes I'd just like to
tick people off, just to kind of
746
00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:44.519
do it and change things up or
throwing a hey have you thought about this
747
00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:47.000
play Devil's Advocate and all that.
And so for my final choice, I'm
748
00:51:47.039 --> 00:51:52.320
going to go again with No Time
to Die, I'm gonna go with the
749
00:51:52.400 --> 00:52:07.199
female Double O seven character of Nomi
played by Lashawna Lynch. And I thought
750
00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:10.199
that was I thought it was great. I thought that part of the movie
751
00:52:10.280 --> 00:52:14.320
was great. I thought the way
she played it was great. I thought
752
00:52:14.360 --> 00:52:16.440
the way she gave Daniel Craig a
hard time, or James Bond, not
753
00:52:16.519 --> 00:52:20.519
Daniel Craig. But when she gave
James Bond a hard time like I'm gonna
754
00:52:20.559 --> 00:52:23.000
kick you in the knee the one
that works, I'm just like, oh
755
00:52:23.079 --> 00:52:29.199
my gosh, that's awesome. And
then what was great was that that in
756
00:52:29.239 --> 00:52:31.960
a way we were watching movie within
a movie and she was the new Double
757
00:52:31.960 --> 00:52:37.679
O seven on the mission for m
I six, and that that could have
758
00:52:37.719 --> 00:52:39.559
been like a whole Bond, like
that could have been what Daniel Craig was
759
00:52:39.559 --> 00:52:43.920
in Casino Royale, and I thought
that she played that so well. I
760
00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:49.000
think it was awesome to see a
black woman playing the Double O seventh role.
761
00:52:49.119 --> 00:52:52.559
And I mean, obviously this isn't
the nature of the of what this
762
00:52:52.639 --> 00:52:54.480
episode's about, but you know,
whenever you change things up, there gets
763
00:52:54.519 --> 00:52:58.639
to be controversy, right. I
remember when Daniel Craig was cast and everyone
764
00:52:58.679 --> 00:53:01.000
was shreaking out because he was blind, and I you know, like you
765
00:53:01.000 --> 00:53:04.880
can't have a blond James Bond,
like what the heck? But I thought
766
00:53:04.880 --> 00:53:07.320
they did such a great job of
Okay, well, no, this is
767
00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:10.000
Double O seven, but it's not
James Bond and just seeing the interplay and
768
00:53:10.280 --> 00:53:13.639
needless to say, she's, you
know, an m I six double,
769
00:53:14.039 --> 00:53:16.400
so you know, she's incredibly effective. So if I'm looking at my team
770
00:53:16.440 --> 00:53:20.880
here, I would definitely want to
have her on the team. And now
771
00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:22.559
I'm looking at this thinking, man, this would make an excellent movie.
772
00:53:22.599 --> 00:53:28.559
So I'm gonna say I'm gonna stay
well SHAWNA Lynch to me from No Time
773
00:53:28.599 --> 00:53:30.559
to Die? Okay, can I
say something? Absolutely? Yes? Okay,
774
00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:37.039
everybody, everybody back up just a
second, because Pat just selected Mutt
775
00:53:37.079 --> 00:53:43.239
on a Best Indiana Jones list.
Oh why am not? I was not
776
00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:47.559
a fan of that turn in No
Time to Die? Giving the hollow double
777
00:53:47.599 --> 00:53:52.039
O seven number to anyone else,
I was like, what are you doing?
778
00:53:52.119 --> 00:53:55.519
No, that belongs to Bond,
and I understand why they did it
779
00:53:55.559 --> 00:54:00.599
in the movie stuff, but I
um kind of hard time swallowing that.
780
00:54:01.239 --> 00:54:06.960
I wish you would told up a
little bit. I wish you had told
781
00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:10.840
me he had picked Mutt before I
agreed to moderate this episode. I'm just
782
00:54:10.880 --> 00:54:16.559
playing. I actually I revisited Crystal
Skull like recently, and I actually don't
783
00:54:16.559 --> 00:54:20.599
hate it as much as I did
before. That's not to say that I
784
00:54:20.639 --> 00:54:23.480
don't hate it, but it's got
some redeeming value there that I hadn't noticed
785
00:54:23.480 --> 00:54:25.920
before. But that's a different episode. All right, We ready to keep
786
00:54:25.960 --> 00:54:29.360
going, Yes, let's keep it. All right, we're on our final
787
00:54:29.440 --> 00:54:31.519
pick for van Van. How are
you gonna round out your team? Well,
788
00:54:31.639 --> 00:54:37.199
um, Pat, you've pretty much
cleaned out the Daniel Craig files now,
789
00:54:37.360 --> 00:54:42.840
right, kind it was kind of
weighted towards those. It was,
790
00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:49.440
it was except for the one that
you didn't right in all fairness, In
791
00:54:49.480 --> 00:54:52.199
all fairness, I mean, I
didn't have any exclamations of awe. But
792
00:54:52.320 --> 00:54:58.360
like basically all of my like ones
from the earlier movies were taken Octopussy,
793
00:54:58.519 --> 00:55:02.800
Anya Amasova and and then you grabbed
Daniello Bianchi that and that was between her
794
00:55:02.800 --> 00:55:06.559
and the other one. So I
did have some earlier ones there on my
795
00:55:06.599 --> 00:55:09.039
list, but but you guys got
to them first. But I'm not I'm
796
00:55:09.440 --> 00:55:13.800
not complaining because I just the Michelle
Yo thing. I'm still I'm gonna watch
797
00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:20.119
my back leaving the podcast probably smart. Well, I think we're gonna pick
798
00:55:20.599 --> 00:55:22.199
the one we would take from another
roster, and I think everybody knows which
799
00:55:22.239 --> 00:55:24.639
one I'm gonna take from the roster, all right. So if the top
800
00:55:24.760 --> 00:55:28.639
seven on my board, there's only
one left. But I'm not sure I
801
00:55:28.760 --> 00:55:30.079
want her. If I go buy
numbers, you know what I mean.
802
00:55:30.119 --> 00:55:34.159
If I go buy numbers, that's
who's there. But I don't I with
803
00:55:34.239 --> 00:55:36.440
my last pick. I don't.
I might want to go with my heart
804
00:55:36.480 --> 00:55:39.599
a little bit, you know what
I'm saying. So I've got two that
805
00:55:39.639 --> 00:55:43.639
are rated higher, and then I
got one that's more in my heart.
806
00:55:43.679 --> 00:55:45.320
I want the Bond folks to look
at my list and go, man,
807
00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:49.119
he cleaned up, right, But
I also kind of want to be able
808
00:55:49.119 --> 00:55:54.239
to feel good about it myself.
Call here, h gosh, you got
809
00:55:54.480 --> 00:55:59.000
four solids, right up? I
mean you got you got a strong roster.
810
00:55:59.639 --> 00:56:04.159
I feel I feel very good about
my about my team. But I
811
00:56:04.159 --> 00:56:07.559
mean, you know, I gotta
I've got I've got only about ten of
812
00:56:07.559 --> 00:56:12.880
them that are ranked in the forties
and there's three left that are in the
813
00:56:12.920 --> 00:56:16.400
forties here, and I gotta decide
which one of those to take. I'm
814
00:56:16.440 --> 00:56:20.000
you know, I gonna have to
just pull the trigger here, No pun
815
00:56:20.039 --> 00:56:22.280
intended with Bond. I think,
yeah, you know what I'm gonna go
816
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:25.880
with my heart, especially since I
didn't get way Lynn. I'm gonna get
817
00:56:25.960 --> 00:56:40.280
Aki from you only Live twice.
I like that she's the other Asian fighting
818
00:56:40.360 --> 00:56:45.159
character. That's that's cool, so
we'll go with her. That's she was
819
00:56:45.199 --> 00:56:47.639
the third though, So there's two
I still have above and I'm I may
820
00:56:47.719 --> 00:56:52.159
kick myself later, but we'll see. Hey, as long as one of
821
00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:55.079
them is at Kissi Suzuki, I
think you're okay. She was the other
822
00:56:55.119 --> 00:56:59.119
one. I mean, she's there. She she and Aki are pretty close
823
00:56:59.119 --> 00:57:00.880
together. But I think for me, but what you know in the books
824
00:57:01.440 --> 00:57:07.679
Kissi Suzuki has bonds kid, Yeah, yeah, but I went with Aki
825
00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:12.119
just because I love She's got the
cool wool white Honda or whatever that she
826
00:57:12.239 --> 00:57:15.960
rolls around in, and she outsmarts
Bond a couple of times, tricks him
827
00:57:15.960 --> 00:57:19.320
to go down in the layer of
Tiger Tanaka, and clearly she's Tiger's first
828
00:57:19.400 --> 00:57:22.119
choice for agent. He kind of
goes to Kissy when Aki's unfortunately killed.
829
00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:25.239
So I really like Aki a lot, so I'm gonna go with Icky.
830
00:57:25.320 --> 00:57:29.519
When I was a kid, her
her death scene was another one that I
831
00:57:29.599 --> 00:57:32.159
was like, oh no, not
no. I love hockey. Yeah,
832
00:57:32.280 --> 00:57:36.320
good all right, So Jason,
you're on the clock for your final pick.
833
00:57:36.599 --> 00:57:38.639
Okay, Before I make my final
pick, I've got this nugget that
834
00:57:38.679 --> 00:57:42.840
I want to throw out there.
It came across this and I hope I'm
835
00:57:42.880 --> 00:57:46.440
not stealing just thunder here. But
Tiffany Case who was played by Jill Saint
836
00:57:46.480 --> 00:57:51.320
John and Diamonds Are Forever and plenty
Old Tool who was played by Lana Wood
837
00:57:51.320 --> 00:57:54.920
and Diamonds Are Forever. I found
this very interesting. Those two women absolutely
838
00:57:54.960 --> 00:58:00.039
hate each other, like they can't
be in the same room together. So
839
00:57:59.760 --> 00:58:04.679
this is the interesting thing. So
Laana Wood is the younger sister to Natalie
840
00:58:04.719 --> 00:58:07.920
Wood. Okay, and of course
she was married to Robert Wagner and her
841
00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:12.800
death was this very controversial thing.
A lot of people think Robert Wagner had
842
00:58:12.840 --> 00:58:16.239
something to do with it. Well, Jill Saint John actually married Robert Wagner
843
00:58:16.360 --> 00:58:21.679
and they've been married for like fifty
years or whatever. And so Lana Wood
844
00:58:22.000 --> 00:58:25.760
still thinks that Robert Wagner killed her
sister, and Jill Saint John is obviously
845
00:58:25.800 --> 00:58:30.119
married to Robert Wagner, so they
can't even they couldn't do a Diamonds Are
846
00:58:30.199 --> 00:58:34.719
Forever a photo shoot ever again,
because it can't mean Wow. Okay,
847
00:58:34.840 --> 00:58:37.760
I think there's probably a lot of
people that think that Robert Wagner is married
848
00:58:37.800 --> 00:58:42.519
to Stephanie Powers. But that's a
whole other agent. That's a deep pool
849
00:58:42.599 --> 00:58:49.880
right there. That's good, all
right. So my number five and my
850
00:58:50.039 --> 00:58:52.679
number seven are still on the board. And then I've got Olga Carolynko,
851
00:58:52.760 --> 00:58:57.239
who I'm absolutely in love with.
She's like my Monica Belluchief for Pat.
852
00:58:57.280 --> 00:59:00.559
Anytime I see Olga Carolynko, I'm
like, oh my gosh, that woman
853
00:59:00.840 --> 00:59:02.960
who majors. But I gotta leave
her off. I'm not. I'm going
854
00:59:04.000 --> 00:59:07.599
to choose something better with my head, I think. But the whole reason
855
00:59:07.639 --> 00:59:10.079
we started this discussion is I think
I told Jeff that Electric King, played
856
00:59:10.119 --> 00:59:14.840
by Sophie Marceau, was a first
rounder. Ye. Yes, but but
857
00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:17.280
I'm not going to take her.
Okay, she will be my sixth pick.
858
00:59:17.360 --> 00:59:20.960
Okay. What I'm gonna do is
I'm gonna go off board. I'm
859
00:59:20.960 --> 00:59:23.159
gonna give Pat a chance to kill
me because I just torched him for his
860
00:59:23.239 --> 00:59:28.400
pick. I am taking a woman
that I probably would guess is not on
861
00:59:28.440 --> 00:59:34.440
anyone's list, and I'm not taking
money body and I'm not taking Une Easton.
862
00:59:34.480 --> 00:59:38.920
I'm taking Fatima Blush, played by
Barbara Carrera, who was from Never
863
00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:47.840
Say Never Again, Never Never Never
Again. She's actually the same character that
864
00:59:47.840 --> 00:59:54.480
Fiona Volpe plays in Thunderball. Character
that's right and very good character. Bond
865
00:59:54.519 --> 00:59:59.800
actually kills her with the bazooka gun
right while she's making him sign a confession.
866
01:00:00.320 --> 01:00:05.840
She's the greatest woman he's ever been
with. Yep, I forgot about
867
01:00:05.880 --> 01:00:07.519
that, Oh my god. And
his response is, well, there was
868
01:00:07.559 --> 01:00:13.320
this girl in Philadelphia, but I
just absolutely loved her. I know a
869
01:00:13.320 --> 01:00:15.800
lot of people hate Never Say Never
Again, but she is such a great
870
01:00:16.119 --> 01:00:22.079
fim fatalel and she's beautiful. I'm
taking her Fatima Blush. God, I
871
01:00:22.119 --> 01:00:25.000
totally forgot about Never Say Never Again. That's that's good. And I'm surprised
872
01:00:25.039 --> 01:00:28.599
you didn't go kim basing her when
you went over to Never Say Never Again.
873
01:00:28.679 --> 01:00:30.639
So it was tempted. I know. Interesting, good, Pat,
874
01:00:30.760 --> 01:00:34.360
I feel bad about about land Based
and you just meant to go. I'm
875
01:00:34.360 --> 01:00:37.719
sorry, I don't invite you in
at the last second. Then I rip
876
01:00:37.760 --> 01:00:40.519
your pick. I'm sorry, that's
fine, man, I'm just looking at
877
01:00:40.559 --> 01:00:44.679
my picks, you know. You
better watch out because they're gonna you know,
878
01:00:46.280 --> 01:00:49.679
they can come take care of business
before you even know what's going on.
879
01:00:49.760 --> 01:00:53.239
That's true. That's true. So
next up will be Jeff for the
880
01:00:53.320 --> 01:00:58.840
final pick of this draft. When
he's done, we'll have everybody go through
881
01:00:58.880 --> 01:01:00.719
and kind of announced the raw are
real quick to remind everybody of who they
882
01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:05.079
ended up with, and then we're
going to do a round of where everyone
883
01:01:05.159 --> 01:01:08.079
gets to pick from someone else's roster. If you could take one Bond girl
884
01:01:08.400 --> 01:01:13.000
from somebody else that they drafted,
who would you take so that you could
885
01:01:13.000 --> 01:01:15.199
have her on your team? All
right? So Jeff take away for us
886
01:01:15.199 --> 01:01:20.960
your final pick in the draft.
Very honored to have the final pick,
887
01:01:21.039 --> 01:01:24.320
and I'm loving the fact that my
eighth overall is still on the board.
888
01:01:24.480 --> 01:01:29.000
Look, Jason Van, you guys
are talking and Never Say Never Again,
889
01:01:29.039 --> 01:01:32.000
and you know, I know it's
divisive with the Bond fans because of Thunderball,
890
01:01:32.039 --> 01:01:37.400
but I'm happy to say that my
final pick will be Domino Patachi aka
891
01:01:37.519 --> 01:01:45.840
Kim Basinger in Never Say Never Again. Never. Wow. Right there,
892
01:01:45.880 --> 01:01:47.880
you can see it. I'm on
the list. I was waiting, and
893
01:01:47.920 --> 01:01:52.960
I honestly I thought I thought this
will be my this will be my curveball
894
01:01:53.039 --> 01:01:58.960
because non Cannon Bond you know,
depending on who you talk to, and
895
01:01:59.320 --> 01:02:01.280
you know, it's is it Thunderball, is it not Thunderball. There's such
896
01:02:01.280 --> 01:02:05.400
a whole history with these two movies, so I but it's one of my
897
01:02:05.559 --> 01:02:07.440
one of the things, one of
the ones I liked a lot when I
898
01:02:07.480 --> 01:02:10.519
was growing up. I still remember
the cool thing he did with his watch
899
01:02:10.519 --> 01:02:14.599
with a laser, you know,
when they're I think they're somewhere in Afghanistan
900
01:02:14.719 --> 01:02:16.719
or something like that, or create
the interesting fact here, this is nineteen
901
01:02:16.760 --> 01:02:22.400
eighty three Kim Basinger. They had
went after her several times to play a
902
01:02:22.400 --> 01:02:24.280
Bond girl. She turned down.
She had turned it down, but she
903
01:02:24.320 --> 01:02:27.880
turned it out twice. I know
Moonraker was one of the ones she turned
904
01:02:27.880 --> 01:02:30.119
down. She wanted to be taken
as a serious actress, so at this
905
01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:34.360
point in her career it wasn't happening. She finally says, you know what,
906
01:02:34.960 --> 01:02:37.960
I'll do it, and rest is
history. Because you know, we
907
01:02:37.079 --> 01:02:40.119
talk, you know in van you
know you've probably have talked about this maybe
908
01:02:40.239 --> 01:02:45.039
on your podcast, about the what
they call the Bond Girl curse. I
909
01:02:45.079 --> 01:02:47.960
would say it worked out for her
for sure. Final Pig, Domino,
910
01:02:49.280 --> 01:02:52.039
the lovely Kim Basinger, good one, right, good one. All right,
911
01:02:52.079 --> 01:02:54.639
guys, how do you all feel
about your teams? I love my
912
01:02:54.760 --> 01:03:00.199
roster. Yeah, all right,
So just to recap and remind everybody,
913
01:03:00.239 --> 01:03:02.480
let's let's list announce and rosters.
Everybody know exactly who you ended up with,
914
01:03:02.760 --> 01:03:05.960
and we'll go in the original draft
order. So, Jason, who
915
01:03:05.960 --> 01:03:08.440
do you got? So? I
got vesper Land, Zenia on the top,
916
01:03:08.719 --> 01:03:15.159
Agent, Triple X, Octopussy and
Fatima Blush excellent, and Jeff quite
917
01:03:15.199 --> 01:03:20.960
a quite a round up round up
here. I've got Pussy Galore, Holly
918
01:03:21.079 --> 01:03:28.519
Goodhead, Honey Ryder, Pam Bouvier, and Domino Patachi that's strong, strong,
919
01:03:29.159 --> 01:03:31.800
And then Pat with the with the
strike team. Who do you have
920
01:03:31.880 --> 01:03:38.159
there? I've got Luccia, Skia, Way, Lynn, Holoma, Fiona
921
01:03:38.239 --> 01:03:44.719
Vulpe and No Me tough job,
good job, very nice work, Pat
922
01:03:45.159 --> 01:03:51.039
and Van. I've got Solitaire,
Melina have a lock, Tracy Bond,
923
01:03:52.199 --> 01:03:58.159
Tatiana Romanova and Aki. All right, so let's go ahead and get into
924
01:03:58.199 --> 01:04:02.159
the round of of stealing a pick
from somebody else's roster. If you could
925
01:04:02.159 --> 01:04:06.639
do that, uh, Jeff from
I'll let you go first that you're at
926
01:04:06.639 --> 01:04:10.480
the top of the screen here for
me, what's what's the name that was
927
01:04:10.519 --> 01:04:14.039
picked today that you wish you could
have drafted? Absolutely I would have went
928
01:04:14.079 --> 01:04:16.840
with vesper Lynd right out the gate
if I had the shot. All right.
929
01:04:16.920 --> 01:04:20.440
Yeah, that scene in the train
car when her and Bond go back
930
01:04:20.440 --> 01:04:25.760
and forth like figuring each other out. Man, that is incredible, like
931
01:04:25.920 --> 01:04:30.039
just you're a and she just he
goes right down the list and then he's
932
01:04:30.159 --> 01:04:31.360
and she says, okay, well
let me go, you know, and
933
01:04:31.440 --> 01:04:34.760
she just nails all the things.
I mean, that's just great, awesome,
934
01:04:34.920 --> 01:04:40.119
awesome acting scene, but then awesome
like character development for who she was,
935
01:04:40.440 --> 01:04:44.280
you know, talking character development and
matching wits and all that with with
936
01:04:44.360 --> 01:04:48.360
Bond. Casino Royal also has one
of my favorite scenes in the Bond movies
937
01:04:48.679 --> 01:04:54.559
and probably one of my more favorite
scenes in Casino Royals. After he dispatches
938
01:04:54.760 --> 01:04:59.199
a couple guys finds her in the
shower, clearly traumatized. Yeah, that
939
01:04:59.400 --> 01:05:01.960
that tender moment. I mean,
it was probably the last time you saw
940
01:05:02.039 --> 01:05:08.199
Bond care so deeply about a woman. Was probably on her Majesty's secret service.
941
01:05:08.519 --> 01:05:11.840
I love that that soft, tender
moment that they share, and that's
942
01:05:11.840 --> 01:05:14.440
where you're like, you know what, She's not going to be just another
943
01:05:14.519 --> 01:05:16.599
notch on the bedpost. She's he's
into her, you know. So Yeah,
944
01:05:16.559 --> 01:05:19.800
I love Vesper. Yeah, awesome, Dason, what pick would you
945
01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:25.519
steal? Okay, the highest girl
on my list that is not on my
946
01:05:25.679 --> 01:05:30.760
roster is Solitaire from Live and Let
Die. A young, beautiful Jane Seymour,
947
01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:32.960
and she, you know, she's
impacting the story and then of course
948
01:05:33.400 --> 01:05:38.760
the whole thing of her losing her
powers to bond because he steals her purity
949
01:05:39.000 --> 01:05:42.960
whatever. Solitaire is just a personal
favorite of mine and Jane seymore. How
950
01:05:43.000 --> 01:05:45.599
can you how can you lose so
excellent? Van? I think we all
951
01:05:45.639 --> 01:05:50.000
know what you're gonna say. But
well, my number one on the board
952
01:05:50.039 --> 01:05:56.000
was way Lean at forty six points
by the way I tap points. My
953
01:05:56.119 --> 01:06:00.199
number two was Solitaire at forty five, but my number three was Vesper at
954
01:05:59.800 --> 01:06:03.719
four four. But using my value
theory of drafting, I probably would have
955
01:06:03.760 --> 01:06:08.079
picked Vesper with the first pick.
I ended up with my second choice,
956
01:06:08.320 --> 01:06:11.639
so because both one and three were
gone, I believe by the time it
957
01:06:11.679 --> 01:06:13.639
was my choice but I got number
two, so I was happy with that.
958
01:06:13.679 --> 01:06:15.920
But I had to take way N
because I absolutely love Michelle Yo.
959
01:06:15.960 --> 01:06:17.639
I love wait Lynd. She does
such cool stuff in that movie. She's
960
01:06:17.679 --> 01:06:20.559
way cooler than Bond, and that's
my favorite Bond too brising, and yet
961
01:06:20.599 --> 01:06:26.280
she's out she out cools my favorite
Bond. So yeah, awesome and pat,
962
01:06:26.280 --> 01:06:29.519
which when would you pick? I
would go from the spy who loved
963
01:06:29.519 --> 01:06:32.480
me. I would go with a
major Anya Amasolvo. We already talked about,
964
01:06:32.559 --> 01:06:36.719
you know how awesome the character was
and just such a great foil for
965
01:06:36.800 --> 01:06:41.880
Bond and on a personal mission as
well as a professional mission. Yeah,
966
01:06:42.039 --> 01:06:48.519
awesome, excellent. All right,
well, gentlemen, that's gonna do it
967
01:06:48.559 --> 01:06:53.880
for our Bond Girl draft. Thank
you very much for getting together for this.
968
01:06:53.920 --> 01:06:56.199
It was tons of fun for me. I feel like we had a
969
01:06:56.199 --> 01:07:00.400
bit of an Avengers All Star matchup
here with all favorite podcast of getting together
970
01:07:00.440 --> 01:07:03.639
on one spot. And thank you
very much for allowing me the honor being
971
01:07:03.679 --> 01:07:10.000
able to moderate it. We are
publishing this episode on April thirteenth, and
972
01:07:10.119 --> 01:07:15.559
that is significant because it is actually
the seventieth anniversary of the original James Bond
973
01:07:15.599 --> 01:07:20.480
novel Casino Royale, and so to
kind of mark that event, we decided
974
01:07:20.480 --> 01:07:24.679
to get these guys together and have
a little James Bond discussion. I hope
975
01:07:24.679 --> 01:07:28.360
everybody enjoyed it as much as I
did. Now we've drafted these teams,
976
01:07:28.440 --> 01:07:30.119
but who won, well, that
is up to you. Be on the

01:07:30.159 --> 01:07:35.679
lookout for all these guys their social
media accounts and you will see an opportunity
978
01:07:35.800 --> 01:07:40.159
to kind of review the rosters and
then vote on who you think was the
979
01:07:40.199 --> 01:07:44.119
winner. And if you just follow

01:07:44.199 --> 01:07:46.440

turns out. Thank you guys for
981
01:07:46.480 --> 01:07:48.679
