You'll Only Listen Twice Jake, Troy, Jan, Producer Paul

Here it is fellow listeners, Jake, Troy, Jan, and good ol’ producer Paul reveal their top 10 favorite James Bond films. This list is objective. Anything different is wrong. Sorry snowflakes! But wait, there’s more! Our heroes also list their favorite Bond gadgets, theme songs, and last, but not least, their favorite Bond actors! I think it will thrill you. It may shock you. It might even horrify you. So if any of you feel that you do not care to subject your nerves to such a strain, now is your chance to, uh... well, we've warned you!

This week, fellow listeners, we’re doing something a little different. We know Jake, Troy, Jan, and good ol’ producer Paul should have moved on from James Bond by now, but they aren’t done yet. Get ready to rage in the comment section as the boys reveal their rankings of every 007 film. But it cant’t be that easy, can it? They also have their thoughts on the Best Bond Villains and the Best Bond Women. Can this get any crazier? It can! This is only part one in  a multipart finale saga! It’s just like Allegiant, but hopefully we get to the part two.

Let me tell you a story about a podcast called Twice, You’ll Only Listen Twice. Finally, after 28 episodes, numerous delays, a trip to the psych ward, and thousands of dollars in therapy bills, Jake, Troy, Jan, and good ol’ producer Paul are here to talk about Daniel Craig’s final James Bond movie, and possibly the last Bond movie that will ever be made, No Time To Die. A film plagued with numerous delays, due in part to a literal plague, this film naturally involves… you guessed it, a plague. But not just any plague, a plague of nanobots, to be unleashed onto the world by a guy named Lyutsifer Safin (how original). Finally, a Bond movie that’s stupid again, but it’s also the one where he dies. That’s right, James Bond dies in the most Bondian way possible, by getting poisoned with robots, shot, and blown up to save his lover and daughter, because that’s who James Bond is, a heroic family man. Wait, what? There’s no time like now to die while talking about No Time To Die. Actually, at nearly 3 and a half hours, you can say we have all the time in the world. You get it? Because reference.

The dead are alive (whatever the f*** that means). This week, Jake, Troy, Jan, and good ol’ producer Paul are taking a look at Sam Mendes’ follow up to the widely successful Skyfall, 2015’s less successful Spectre. Is it the best James Bond film, or the worst? You are kites dancing in a hurricane, fellow listeners because there is some disagreement amongst our hosts over the quality of the film, so the discussion gets pretty nasty. Get ready for 2 and half hours of debating the film’s script, central romance (featuring two cranky, monotoned, blue eyed blondes), and  Christoph Waltz’s understated performance as Franz Oberhauser (who is definitely not Blofeld). Did we mention there’s a tribute to Sam Smith’s Oscar winning, mope-fest, theme song? That’s right, this is a musical. This episode will be the author of all your pain!

This is it, fellow listeners. The big one. Jake, Troy, Jan, and good ol’ producer Paul are talking about the critically acclaimed and most financially successful Bond film, Skyfall. Daniel Craig returns in yet his third consecutive Bond origin film, but this time he’s… old? Grab yourself a Heineken and listen to our heroes decipher what exactly made this movie so successful. Was it Sam Mendes’ direction? Was it the cinematography by Roger “the Deak” Deakins? Was it Joker Javier Bardem? Was it the Adele song? Was it Kincade? Tune in to find out… but the answer is Kincade.

A door left open? A woman walking by? A drop in the water? A look in the eye? A phone on the table? A man on your side? Someone that you think that you can trust is just another… meh Bond movie. That’s right fellow listeners, Jake, Troy, Jan, and good ol’ producer Paul are joined again by Doggify to talk about Darko Belgrade- I mean Daniel Craig’s underwhelming follow up to Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace. From the director of Finding Neverland and World War Z, comes the first film to be written, shot, and edited by a chimpanzee. A writer’s strike? Shaky cam? 2-frame shots? What can possibly go wrong? Does anyone remember Epic Movie? How does Darko Belgrade’s turn as Bond stack up? What are we talking about?
