Sword and Bored

James Bond is Back! This time around we are talking about the classic FROM RUSSIA, WITH LOVE, considered by two thirds of the hosts to be the best Bond!  We gush about the late Sir Sean Connery, talk about his career and his one character that he made work in every movie, about how Bond is starting to take shape and how we have almost all the pieces of what makes a Bond movie!

BORED, JAMES BORED WILL RETURN IN...GOLDFINGER

Hello! On this special spooky spooky Halloweenish episode, Lars is off, so filling in is the amazing Lillian Boyd of Rank and Vile!  The show we shamelessly ripped off for this!  We talk about LEGEND(1986) and how it's certainly movie shaped, how we all have a cultural memory of THE WITCHES, Great British Bakeoff and our favorites taken too soon from us, rambles about video games and other things, and the still fantastic MONSTER SQUAD!  Enjoy!

Episode 2 of our side quest deep dive into every James Bond is here.  DR. NO, the first official Bond movie is on the docket.   We talk about how it's still a bit odd but they are finding their feet, iconic bits of cinematic history,  60s kitsch,  and how big a step up it was from Casino Royale!

And we're back after a short break!  We take a breather from traditionally fantasy movies to talk about THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD and how every scrap of Robin Hood media is directly influenced by that movie, how THREE MUSKETEERS(1993) is such an inexplicable movie, how it stacks up against Prince of Thieves, I make way, way too many Star Wars comparisons, we both neglect to realize that they had three singers on that track for a reason, how A KNIGHT'S TALE is still incredible and what a loss Heath Ledger was!

Here we go!  A little Side Project we have going with Dad, talking about every James Bond put to film, in chronologically order.  We're starting with the 1954 made for TV Drama, staring American Barry Nelson as James "Jimmy" Bond.  Yeah.  But Peter Lorre as Le Chiffre is pretty good!  Along the way we talk about why we're doing this, what is in store, and Dad's history with the franchise.

Farmington Martini: Pilsner, such as PBR, and 3 olives.  A drink, dinner, and show.

Hello again!  We're here talking about THE OLD GUARD and how we want Charlize Theron to have a long career, the abysmal AMAZONS and how we love and hate Roger Corman, Halloweens past and how it had better sound, FIRE AND ICE and adult cartoons looking the same, and the awkwardness of movies with families!  Hope you enjoy!

On this episode we are joined once again by our dad Bill Farabee!  We talk about animals in the wild, how pretty okay BULLETPROOF MONK is, how godawful AGAINST THE DARK is and the power of spite, and how utterly, utterly astounding HIGHLANDER continues to be!

The funeral march of 2020 continues!  THE LAST WITCH HUNTER kind of rules and we love it!  We talk about the police protests and how we grew up and our own experiences related to that!  How LANCELOT: GUARDIAN OF TIME is just the most boring thing possible and terrible hair!  

Kids Running!  Quarantine Stories!  ALICE IN WONDERLAND's mediocrity!  THE BLACK CAULDRON and the path of Disney!  Discussion of Music and Emotion in Fantasy!  WILLOW's utter charm!  Check us out!

Our 20th Episode!  Lars opens so many bags of chips!  We talk about the unearned emotions of ONWARD, boredom of quarantine since we're all experiencing that in some form, how LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN is kind of okay, and how BABES WITH BLADES is a very strange piece that doesn't make sense in a lot of ways!
