The Other Half

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched two different halves of For Your Eyes Only! The movie where the Bond folks realized you gotta reduce the scope of your movie after going to space. Ethan and Mike dive into the 12th Bond movie, which is all about diving underwater, Greek artifacts and Topal! An evil plot to collect the Automatic Targeting Attack Communicator (ATAC) from ge...

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched two different halves of Moonraker! The movie where the producers saw how successful Star Wars was, and wanted one of those. Ethan and Mike are joined by Chris, AKA lvl_hed or figure_head , depending on the day, who is a massive James Bond fan with a planet-sized amount of knowledge about each movie. Chris suggested this movie because it&#...

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched two different halves of The Spy Who Loved Me, a movie about a villain trying to monopolize the underwater city industry! Roger Moore accidently teams up with *sigh* Agent XXX from Russia to stop these nuclear subs from being stolen. Turns out tho, he may have killed her husband without knowing! Will this cause a rift in their relationship...

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched two different halves of The Man With The Golden Gun, which features Christopher Lee with three whole nipples! Roger Moore is chasing an elite assassin who seems to be threatening Bond. It leads to a whole bunch of twists and turns and a trip to China and Bangkok! Also, we learned a lot about Queen Elizabeth, the ship, and the actual queen...

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched two different halves of Live and Let Die, which finally stars a new Bond, Roger Moore. Live and Let Die is about voodoo and New Orleans and all the things you wonder why British Bond is over here helping. But it does have one of the craziest villain deaths of all time, plus Crocodiles and Alligators! Roger Moore is an interesting Bond and...

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched two different halves of Diamonds are Forever and are joined once again by the Bond expert HoneyBees! Watch Til You Can't continues with a brand new- wait Sean Connery is back? Oh my god, they are doubling down on the misogyny, gadgets, and cheesy one-liners. Plus Bond goes to Vegas, and as we know from almost every film franchise ever...

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched two different halves of On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the only movie George Lazenby stars as Bond. Watch Til You Can't continues with a brand new bond. He's softer now, and he's in love! Also, this is a prequel to You Only Live Twice, so it's a bit confusing that James Bond's face changes between two different m...

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched two different halves of Casino Royale, the weird parody Bond movie in the series. Watch Til You Can't continues with Oops all Bonds! What if every agent in MI6 was named James Bond 007, and there was a monkey with a wig on (Maybe it's M's toupee)? This is perhaps the weirdest, wildest James Bond movie to exist, and it has an i...

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched two different halves of You Only Live Twice, the fifth Bond movie in the series. This is a movie made to showcase Japan and how pretty it is. It also makes you question every dormant volcano and whether a hidden lair could be there. And boy, is that hidden lair cool looking. Can an impressive set piece save a movie written by THE Ronald D...

The boys were having it pretty good up until Thunderball appeared! This movie has it all. Jetpacks, goofy racks, shark tanks, and lots and lots of underwater cinematography. In a classic plot of SPECTRE stealing nuclear bombs and threatening to use them on the US or UK, James Bond is tasked with finding those bombs! Luckily, it just so happened he was in a health clinic with one of the guys on the...

The boys tackle the next movie in the Bond franchise, Goldfinger! He loves gold! James Bond is tasked with finding out what's up with Goldfinger's Operation Grand Slam. He also starts becoming the James Bond we all know and some love. He gets with tons of ladies, says corny puns, and starts becoming too dang good at his job! But that's what the franchise is all about, right? It also ha...

From Russia With Love is one of the most famous and well-regarded James Bond movies. There is even a 3rd person video game based on it! That's how you know it was legit. James Bond travels to Istanbul to check out a lead on a Lektor machine to crack some codes. SPECTRE, of course, set a trap for James Bond and with Tatiana Romanova, who is a fake defector of the Soviet Union. This movie has it...

Dr. No starts our biggest Watch Til You Can't yet. That's right, we're going to try to watch the entire James Bond series from the start! For those not in the doctor know, we'll be watching until we can't handle them any more. Take bets on what James Bond era that will be! Ethan has seen these movies ages ago when he was a young lad and remembers nothing about them. Mike has on...

Argylle asks the audience an insane question: what if your books about spies could predict the future, so you got kidnapped to write more books about spies before anyone else read them? Argylle, starring Henry Cavill and Bryce Dallas Howard, is a movie about a spy fiction writer who strangely predicts actual events happening in the spy world through her books. It also features Dua Lipa in all of t...

Alright, we've had it too good with movies. It's time to watch Snake on a Plane. The infamous 2006 movie starring Samuel L. Jackson and featuring a lot of CGI snakes. It was one of the first movies edited after the fact to appease what audiences wanted out of the movie. In reality, it may have made the film a lot better! But is it a good movie, or did it deserve the middling response it re...

Ages ago, we were suggested to watch Head, the movie about the hit 60s band The Monkees. What a trippy little movie this is. We learned a lot about what it must have been like to try to become a respectable adult band after being in a band for children. It's a cheeky movie with Jack Nicholson helping make it. Is this trippy movie, for 60s standards, any good? Remember to join our Discord for m...

Who is Robbie Williams, besides a monkey (chimp) who does drugs, drinks and sings? Well he made one of the biggest financial flops of 2024 and we decided to watch it. Maybe it's because no one on this pond knows who Robbie Williams is, but this movie is the biopic snubbed for an Oscar. We follow a musician who left a boy band, Take That (5), and tried to be successful on his own. But it wasn&#...

Women's History Month continues (?!) with Sophie's Choice. A (totally) real person who escaped the horror of the holocaust and now has to deal with one toxic man and one dopey man, while simultaneously navigating the English language. Meryl Streep won an Oscar for this portrayal, but how does the rest of this classic movie stand up? We all know the phrase "Sophie's Choice", but...

To finish off our Women's History Month watches, we watch a movie about a figure neither of us knows about: Maria! So that's why we got the famed guest NotTheHoneyBees to explain how incredible this opera diva was. Why is her Wikipedia a mile long, and why did Angelina Jolie have to play her? Honestly, it's a real history lesson right here in this podcast. Remember to join our Discord...

Priscilla, wife of Elvis Presley. Still alive to this day. Let's see what her relationship was like to the king of rock. Well it has guns, Graceland, mom issues, control issues, boundary issues, drug issues. Huh, it seems like this relationship may be doomed. This quiet, meditative film on such a big personality speaks volumes of what it would be like to be in a romantic relationship with Elvi...

Women's History Month continues with Spencer and a special guest, Lindsay! Lindsay is an expert on all things related to the royal monarchy and teaches these two knuckleheads (mostly Ethan) a thing or two about what Princess Diana was going through when she lived with the royal family. The royal family is different from British aristocrats, if you didn't know! This is from the same directo...

Happy Women's History Month! We watched Jackie in honor of it and will be watching other movies with powerful women with one-name titles throughout the month. But this movie stars Natalie Portman as Jackie Kennedy during the worst moments of her life, the JFK assassination. It shines a light on how absolutely awful it is to lose your husband and how it's even more horrific if he's the...

Now that we've seen (basically) all of the Oscar-nominated best picture movies, it's time to talk about our predictions and rank our favorites! It was a weird year. Maybe one of the most controversial Oscars in years. We also launched a new merch store where you can buy all of Mike's incredible posters for sale! You can find the link here: https://shop.theotherhalfpodcast.com Check out...

We wrap up the Oscar season with A Complete Unknown, the Bob Dylan biopic! Let's see how Timmy C and our friend James Mangold, who directed some previous podcast movies like Kate and Leopold and Indiana Jonas and the Dial of Destiny , can bring the musical enigma to life. Set when Dylan decided to break out on the scene and go electric, this follows his encounters with various musicians, most...

Thanks to movie studios not releasing their movies on VOD, I'm Still Here is our first carcast this Oscar season! I'm Still Here is set in Brazil under the 1970s dictatorship, where a wife must find out what happened to her husband while maintaining a healthy family life. I don't want to reveal more details because hearing us discover what's happening and what the movie is truly ab...
