You'll Only Listen Twice

In this very special episode, Jake, Troy, Jan and good ol’ Producer Paul are strapping themselves up to Le Chiffre’s mind torture device to review the 1967 star-studded James Bond spoof, Casino Royale. David Niven is James Bond! Peter Sellers is James Bond! Ursula Andress is James Bond! Dalliah Lavi is James Bond! Johana Pettet is James Bond! Terrence Cooper is James Bond! Barbara Bouchet is James Bond! Woody Allen is Jimmy Bond! I am James Bond! You are James Bond! With so many Bonds, you’re going to need not one, not two, but five directors to pull this off, including cinematic legend John Huston. 5 directors? 7 James Bonds? Woody Allen? What could possibly go wrong? Drop in and drop out through a psychedelic odyssey featuring magic tricks by Orson Welles, Deborah Kerr doing a Scottish accent, Peter O’Toole’s getting his groin fondled by Peter Sellers, and George Raft just being there. Be sure not to accidentally blow yourself up in a freak mortar mishap, and enjoy our heroes’ discussion of what Producer Paul calls, “the greatest cinematic experience of my life.”

Do you expect us to talk? Well if you’re planning on listening to this next episode, then the answer is presumably…yes. On their next mission, Jake, Troy, Jan, and good ol’ Producer Paul have a little fun with Mr. Goldfinger. Take a trip to the sunny beaches of Miami, the rolling hills of Switzerland, and the dirty parking lot of a KFC as our heroes discuss Operation Grand Slam (which is not a meal at Denny’s), James Bond’s fear of hats, and, of course, DINK!!!

Hey you cool cats, your friends Jake, Troy, Jan, and good old Producer Paul are back baby! Same channel, same feed, same format. Nothing has changed! Hop on board the Orient Express and bring your deadly attaché case because this week, we’re taking a look at the second official Bond flick “From Russia With Love.” In our discussion, we talk about the film, its cursed production, its involvement in the JFK assassination, and Roseanne…BAZINGA!

Continuing their mission, Jake and Troy go up against the first theatrically released James Bond film, 1962's "Dr. No." Along the way the encounter beautiful women with identical voices, questionable music choices, and their deadliest adversary to date, Sean Connery's singing voice.
