Last year we both lost the Oscars competition we play every year, The Grouchies, to Carolyn Schult and she made us watch Strictly Ballroom.

It’s Bond. James Bond. Daniel Craig took his first crack at playing the iconic spy 15 years ago and with his new film, No Time To Die, just being released, it seemed the perfect time to talk about Casino Royale.
