For our latest special episode we have an extra-long one for you.  As Daniel Craig bows out with 'No Time To Die', we decided to discuss all things James Bond. 

We each picked our favourite Bond film - Sam chose the gold-standard 'Goldfinger', Michael opted for the black sheep of the series 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service', and Bill chose to rep for Craig's first outing 'Casino Royale'. We also discussed honourable mentions, as well as our picks for the worst Bond films, the best gadgets, villains, action scenes, theme songs, and of course, who is the best Bond.  We also sparred over the legacy of the cultural phenomenon and where the franchise can possibly go from here...

Join us as, inspired by Thomas Vinterberg's 'Another Round', we delve into alcohol in movies.  

We begin by exploring the films that best capture the yearning for a drink such as the classic 1958 war film 'Ice Cold in Alex', and the films that made iconic a certain drink (e.g. 'The Big Lebowski' and White Russians). 

We then move on to examine films that best capture the giddy highs of complete inebriation such as the 1978 Jackie Chan kung fu classic 'Drunken Master' and 'Withnail & I'. 

We end by discussing films that tackle the lows of alcohol, the crushing hangovers, and the horrors of alcoholism, such as the 1971 psychological thriller 'Wake in Fright' and the seminal 1945 film 'The Lost Weekend'.

So, pour yourself a drink, and settle in for an hour of booze and movies chat.
