Boozing & Bonding

In our return to S-Branch, Keegan and Chris pitch hypothetical actors they’d want to see in the future of the Bond franchise. Some are jokes, some are serious, most of them are jumping the shark. Speaking of sharks, we return to our shark-filled episode of Thunderball for more bonus content!

It’s the long-delayed return of our sober sister podcast: S-Branch! Speaking of long-delayed, Chris gives Keegan an out of season Christmas gift, and we revisit cut content from our Goldfinger episode.

While enjoying some warm glühwein (mulled wine) the Boozing & Bonding Boys make a startling discovery: it’s harder to pay attention to serious movies when you’re drunk. Listen as they struggle to recall the plot of the (comparatively) grounded Bond film “For Your Eyes Only” (1981). Enjoy the good, the bad, and the uncomfortable in this retrospective Bond outing, that looks back on the past and paves the way for the rest of Bond’s films to come.

Pack your bags folks! It’s time to blast off with Roger Moore’s 1979 Bond film Moonraker!! So grab your Tang and vodka, and get Astro-drunk with Keegan and Chris as they navigate the most cartoony of Bond’s outings. It’s a film where laser fights fit right in with a hovercraft gondola, a double-taking pigeon, and the most farfetched thing, love at first sight. Also, Jaws is back! Yay!

Return with Roger Moore’s James Bond (or Mr Bund as some know him) for his 1977 film: The Spy Who Loved Me. A film where things seem familiar… maybe too familiar. Sharks, nukes, and Russians? Check, check and check! Join Keegan and Chris as they get tipsy on Moscow mules and become a pair of rude, rude boys this episode. Also, Jaws might be a vampire! Find out why by listening to the episode! *CHOMP*

Roger Moore returns, and his Bond is at peak asshole in the 1974 film The Man with the Golden Gun! Listen as we gush about Christopher Lee, be charmed by Nick Nack, be confused about the film’s Asian representation, and rage over a poorly placed slide whistle. A couple of tropical “Golden Gun” cocktails help us take both good and the bad, so join us for the ups and downs of this perfectly serviceable film.

We’re back with season 2: The Roger Moore Era!! Keegan and Chris head down to New Orleans, sippin’ sazeracs, and watching the funky fresh (and a bit funky stale) 1973 film Live and Let Die. Enjoy crocodiles, massive boat chases, a kick-ass theme song, and problematic depictions of black characters and culture. This film has it all!

For the final episode of our first season, we do something a little different. We make an award show!! It’s the perfect way to look back at all the films, and drinks we’ve enjoyed so far. We decide the victors in numerous categories, along with some help from our listeners. All while “enjoying” classic vodka martinis (and a bunch of olives.)

In our first episode of S-Branch (the sober sister podcasts to Boozing & Bonding), Chris has some lingering thoughts about Goldfinger, and the boys actually finally make rules for their James Bond drinking game.

Also, vote for who you want to win in our season 1 award show episode: The Bondies

Time to play a little game called “where are the frickin’ diamonds?!” We bid farewell to Sean Connery in perhaps the most polarizing film we’ve explored yet: the silly Las Vagas romp known as Diamonds Are Forever. And we cheer Sean Connery’s goodbye from the show with a Black Velvet cocktail.
