Sword and Bored

What ho!  Almost a year ago we last posted, and it's been a struggle for a lot of reasons that don't need to be gotten into!   We talk about DIE ANOTHER DAY and post 9/11 media, and the transition to the Gritty Reboot of CASINO ROYALE and how good it is!

What's this?  After a year and half we're back?    2000's DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS and 2023's DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES are on today's menu.   This has been a long, hard couple of years and we're trying slowly to get back to things.

Hello!  Back again with YOU ONLY MOVE TWICE, one of the best Bond Parody/Commentaries ever made, TOMORROW NEVER DIES and THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH, Brosnan's next two outings which were pretty good!

It's been a while.  We're doing okay.  We decided to do 3 films at once, starting with LICENSE TO KILL, the last Timothy Dalton movie, and it's generally okayness!  BULLETS AREN'T CHEAP, a short SNL sketch which was one joke for 7 minutes!  And GOLDENEYE, inwhich three grown men sound like three kids gushing about a Marvel Film because it's amazing!

Hello!  This is something different...again.  We're gonna try to do a DnD Actual play in the feed from time to time, we will absolutely still be doing movie discussions as well.   This episode is a recap of what happened in the first session, because our recordings failed.  We will be back with an actual episode of the game next time.  Stick around if you'd like.

The surprisingly good THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS with Timothy Dalton is next up, shocking us after years of Roger Moore!     It's been a while since we've done this, but it's been a really hard year for us.  So for anyone who's stuck around, thanks.

The long nightmare is over.   With A VIEW TO A KILL, we're finally done with Roger Moore.

Christmas Bells are Ringing!  We're winding down the year with two movies from opposite ends of the spectrum.  We talk about the Die Hard Christmas Movie argument, the thought process behind VIOLENT NIGHT, the depths of 80s cocaine in SANTA CLAUS: THE MOVIE, and have a good time all around!

James Bond is back....sort of? A James Bond shaped outing in NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN!  IP Rights Issues!  Competing Bonds!  A lack of the theme song!

Hey hey!  Two updates in a month!  We're here with 1999's SLEEPY HOLLOW, a fun creep show, the amazing 90's HOCUS POCUS and it's somewhat inexplicable fandom, we accidentally talk a lot about HOCUS POCUS 2, and we spend like...half the run time talking about pop culture and how things get rebooted!  Enjoy!

Holy crap we're back after too long!  DRACULA UNTOLD and BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA is on the menu today!

...Anyway here's OCTOPUSSY

And the winter of our discontent has ended with FOR YOUR EYES ONLY...sort of.  A mediocre slog through the bushes with Roger Moore!

Our final podcast episode of the year is Ralph Bakshi's LORD OF THE RINGS!  Inevitably we talk about Peter Jackson, high fantasy in general, click clacking of keyboards, and the omnipresent sound of us eating reverberating throughout the episode!

And it's Commentary time again!  Matt and I are back with inarguably the most whole of the film series, A NEW HOPE, the movie that most describes why we are the way we are!   As always, this isn't a traditional podcast, so tune in next time for something more podcasty!

And we're back with MOONRAKER!  Gotta tell you, this was a long, LONG movie to get through!

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVEEEEEEE!  After a long personal hiatus, we're back with 1977's THE SPY WHO LOVED ME!  This surprisingly good movie was fun to talk about!

Another Hiatus breaker (Man we are all about hiatus): HIGHLANDER 2: THE RENEGADE VERSION.  We talk about how...incredible...this movie is, what it does right, what it does wrong, and general meanderings!   Thanks for stopping by!

And we're back with ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY!  As always, I am joined by Matt and this is an alternate audio commentary, not a traditional podcast!

After a month long technical hiatus we are back with 1974's THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN!  While we enjoyed it more than the previous few, we talk about what could have gone right with it, and we avoid the most obvious part of the movie as well!

SOLO is up for Matt and I this time around, a bit slower commentary than other movies but still interesting, we talk about Disney Star Wars a fair amount.   As always, this isn't a traditional podcast, so if that's not your cuppa, feel free to join us next time!

On today's episode we have the incredible Lillian Boyd of Rank and Vile podcast joining us for three good ones!  We talk about the pretty good MORTAL KOMBAT 2021 and our experiences with the games, the delightfully gory and funny ARMY OF DARKNESS and how I'm not much of a horror ghoul, and the truly, truly spectacular THE MUMMY 1999!

BOND IS BACK!...sort of!  With Roger Moore taking the helm in LIVE AND LET DIE!  We talk about it's...mediocrity, how it's a waste of several plot points, kind of really uncomfortable and better movies along the way!  

Our alternate commentary series continues with REVENGE OF THE SITH!    As always, this isn't a traditional podcast, so if that's not what you're into, we totally understand!

Tonight's Feature: The truly bad DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER!  We talk about how tired everything is, the nonsense plot, and boredom with the franchise!
