The Fixers

Hot Bond Summer continues apace, as Bain and the Commodore break down the best -- and the worst -- of the Henchmen (and Henchwomen) that Bond has ever faced.

They also create brand new Henchmen for Jeff Bezos to consider for Amazon's takeover of the franchise.

In an era lost to the mists of time (the 1980s) no good studio movie was complete without an accompanying hit theme song.

Join Bain and the Commodore as they countdown the great lost gem theme songs of all time (between 1982 and 1987).

We live in a home viewing utopia, with giant 4K (and 8K) TVs cheaper than ever, offering ultra sharp resolution on films old and new.

But what if there were certain works of art, best enjoyed in the creamy (haters might say muddy) picture and audio of the immortal Video Home System.

Join Bain and the Commodore as we "draft" the masterpieces that suit this format best.

It's here at last. The last (?) Mission Impossible movie, and quite possibly a epochal closing chapter of the last 130 years of cinema. Yes, we're idiots but no we're not kidding.

Unstrap and dive into these icy dark waters with us...

Tom Cruise is maybe the last true movie star -- but does he actually have great, distinctive characters? Bain and the Commodore "draft" their favorite Cruise characters in a highly competitive, but authoritative and final list of his very best work.

Join Bain and the Commodore as we celebrate the 10th -- wait, 20th!? -- anniversary of the final Lucas-helmed movie of the Star Wars saga, a "fun" movie filled with spousal abuse, asthmatic robots, and the triumph of maybe the greatest scene stealer of all time (Ian McDiarmid).

Then we play a little game of Writers Room of Dreams/Nightmares.

Reboots almost always are a mistake. But are there some gems in cinema's past that could be improved with a fresh coat of paint? Bain and the Commodore venture in the studio vaults...

A great Bond film is only as good as its villain. Join Bain and the Commodore as they countdown the best (and worst) of these scheming bastards who keep getting between James Bond and his martini.

From Steven Spielberg's assistant to one of the most powerful producers and executives in the game, Kathleen Kennedy has had quite a run. But was her decade running Lucasfilm for Disney a success? And what does the future look like for Star Wars? ONLY the Fixers know the answers.

There hasn't been a successful SNL film since the early 90s. Can this once triumphant tradition be revived -- with or without the mighty Lorne?
