"Now pay attention, 007..."


From Honey Ryder to Vesper Lynd, the best of the "Bond Girls" has been debated by fans of the franchise for decades. We've called upon several of our favorite Double O's to settle the matter!

This week, we celebrate the 70th anniversary of Ian Fleming's first James Bond novel Casino Royale with a special episode to discuss, rank, and draft the ultimate team of "Bond Girls."

Jason "Odd Job" Colvin from the Surely You Can't Be Serious Podcast, Jeff "Jaws" Johnson from A Film By... Podcast, Pat "Goldfinger" Cantagallo from the 30Something Movie Podcast, and Van Allen "Le Chiffre" Plexico from On Her Majesty's Secret Podcast engage in a battle of wits with David "Blofeld" Wright to make their picks, and celebrate the legacy of one of Hollywood's most sought-after roles.

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

01:03:05.960 --> 01:03:08.440
do you got? So? I

916

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

977
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

fun. We got to do this again

so appreciate you guys be willing to do
