Vince is in Kentucky this week, so we couldn't record a normal Frotcast, but on the off chance that you really enjoy the actual-movie-discussions part of the Frotcast, this one should be a treat.

It's the James Bond episode! After seeing Spectre, I asked around to find out which were the "can't miss" James Bond movies, and more than one person suggested The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), starring Roger Moore.
