James Bonding Matt Gourley, Matt Mira

This podcast has it all for us long loving bond fans . But let be real could use another guy askinG “what’s this ?” And “ ahhhh what’s that ?” Live long and wait wait … die another day ? Anyways keep up the good work Matt and Matt

Tried coming back to this show after a long hiatus - and unfortunately it seems the things that grate on my nerves still continue to do so. Mira, specifically, is the absolute worst. constantly dropping reminders that he’s wearing head-to-toe Bond junk or that he and his wife are trying to get pregnant, while pretending he’s more knowledgeable about 007 than Gourley. Gourley, either too gentile or shy seems all to happy to let Mira drive most episodes. Great theme song though.

Having another go through with a 30-day Stitcher Trial as they continue to be released onto free platforms. The negative comments re: them not taking the films seriously enough are misguided because almost all of them have ridiculous elements and “The Chris Farley Show” would become tiresome pretty quickly. You can tell they love everything Bond, ultimately. They buy the extraneous stuff, go on Bond related holidays and whatnot, so they’re fans, to the bone. Really like the guests, with Amanda and Maria being standouts (Ghost Ghirls is terrific), but most of them get the comedic angle being strived for, and of course not everything is going to land, but the overall ratio is right there to make it really worthwhile, even if behind the paywall. I’d love some uhh, more commentaries, but looks as though they’ve moved on for good bar the odd appearance here and there. For those looking for commentaries Blank Check’s Patreon side did every Roger Moore film, and they’re a treat.
One minor quibble: when they’re syncing the commentaries they do the pause after the first roar, but instead of counting down right away they’ll ramble on for awhile and one is stuck waiting for them to get on with it and can’t fast forward because will indubitably miss the second cue.
