The Other Half

Die Another Day means we're back to Bond from our latest Halloween break! But the question remains, how many more of these are we going to have to watch? At this point, this is Pierce Brosnan's last movie. It sure feels like the final Broccoli family movie for a Bond actor. (BAD!) But are there at least some charming moments? Is Halle Berry a good Bond girl? Will the Matrix influence this...

Bring Her Back, one of the latest Danny and Michael Philippou horror movies to hit the streets! Sally Hawkins plays an adoptive mother who has just gotten two new kids, Piper and Andy, but something is off about her. And something is even more off about her currently adopted son, who doesn't say anything, but stares at you and eats his own scabs. Andy must try and survive until his 18th birthd...

Together is just like this podcast. We can't stop being away from each other, so that's why we have 553 episodes now. Although we wouldn't drink water from a questionable cave! That's for sure. Even if it didn't get you a body horror like a curse where our skin wanted to fuse, you could get a horrible sickness from it! At the end of the podcast, I said I'd post a photo that...

Dude Bro Party Massacre III is the first in a trilogy of movies (that never existed) about Delta Bi! Created as a parody movie by 5-second films back in 2015, the Other Half tackles a comedy movie, which they haven't done in quite some time. This fraternity gets sent to a sorority house because they caused two passenger planes to crash. Unfortunately, they're haunted by Mother Face, who lo...

It's been a while since we've seen just a straight-up poorly made movie, but we've finally arrived at The Gingerdead Man for this Halloween season. Still mourning her tiddy-obsessed brother, Sarah somehow bakes a cookie with her brother's killer's ashes, bringing him to life in gingerbread form. The killer is, of course, played by Gary Busey. Along with the help of Sarah's...

We're taking a break from our Bond marathon and are diving into our annual Spooktacular series for October! We can't let Bond hold back from our scary movies. Playroom is a movie Mike picked out because he saw Christopher McDonald starred in this movie early in his career. Plus, reviews said it was surprisingly good despite how awful the cover art is. Luckily for you, the entire movie is o...

For their final appearance, NotTheHoneyBees had to chat about The World is Not Enough. This movie has maybe the biggest gap in quality between the two Bond girls ever. First, you have the incredible Sophie Marceau as Elektra King, a mysterious and chic femme fatale. Then you have Denise Richards as Christmas Jones, who is one of the least convincing nuclear scientists you could find, and is mostly...

Tomorrow Never Dies is where we're told that Pierce Brosnan's golden era ends. It was super short-lived, apparently! This movie has Bond take on a giant, corrupt media mogul. Armed with a cool remote-controlled car, it's Bond against the world, and a Chinese secret agent played by Michelle Yeoh. Do we agree this is a bad movie, or are we going to be the contrarians!! Look at us potenti...

The boys have finally entered the Pierce Brosnan era with GoldenEye! After a long time, Mike and Ethan have finally gotten to a Bond movie they've both seen. Will it hold up or change Mike's mind about how much he hated this movie at the time? Will Pierce Brosnan live up to the hype of their childhood nostalgia? There are so many questions as we enter a whole new era of this Bond edition o...

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watch the last Timothy Dalton film, Licence to Kill. It's weird that we just got Timothy Dalton and he's already going the way of George Lazenby. (But has a career afterwards). It's mostly weird because this may be one of the best Bond films to exist. Maybe it's because it shakes the formula up and makes Bond care about something...

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watch the first Timothy Dalton film, The Living Daylights. Bond is back and grittier than ever. We also got a new Felix, we got a new villain, we got a new Moneypenny, but we have the same old Q. This movie also has John Rhys-Davies playing a top Russian general. Is Timmy D the relief we've been looking for from the Roger Moore films? Also le...

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys and HoneyBees watched the final Roger Moore movie, A View to a Kill! Roger Moore would have gone out with a bang, but he's completely overshadowed by Mayday, played by Grace Jones. Even the actual Bond girl in this movie is but a BLIP in the marketing artwork. Grace Jones is just that good. Pair her with Christopher Walken and you've got...

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched an unofficial Bond movie starring Sean Connery! He's back and showing that he can still keep up with the latest James Bond, Roger Moore. This movie is a remake of Thunderball and is going for a much different tone than what the EON films were trying to go for. Gone are a lot of Bond's signature trademarks, including an opening of...

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watched two different halves of (sigh) Octopussy. It's time for the worst-named James Bond film we've ever seen. But it does have the circus in it and feels like an Indiana Jones movie at times! Bond is sent to figure out what's up with these fake Faberge Eggs and how they are connected to Russia wanting to take a land grab in Europe....

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...
