On this episode we continue our deep dive into 007 as we look at the back half of the Roger Moore films. Does Jaws deserve redemption (and love)? Did Margret Thatcher fall in love with a parrot...by accident? How does a suspicious, blood-covered clown break into the British Embassy so easily? And what exactly is a "double earthquake"?
This week we're moving on to another Bond: Roger Moore! So we've brought back Colby Rabideau to discuss Moore's first three films. Does "Live And Let Die" prove magic exists in the Bond universe? Why is a hillbilly cop vacationing in Bangkok in "The Man With The Golden Gun"? How often would you even need a car that turns into a submarine like in "The Spy Who Loved Me"?
On the second part of our Bond mini-series we look at the second half of Sean Connery's role as the world's most dangerous spy. We dive deep on the wet & wild Thunderball, the upsetting & culturally inappropriate You Only Live Twice and the over-the-top & American-ized Diamonds Are Forever.
Tonight we begin another epic Up For Debate Presents mini-series, this time all about the films starring everyone's favorite international man of mystery: James Bond! Over the next few weeks we'll be covering all 24 films, but for now we start with this episode on the first three, all starring Sean Connery: Dr. No, From Russia With Love, and Goldfinger. Colby Rabideau joins our hosts to kick off this series in signature style!
We've got six teams, thirty movies and sixty minutes to draft them all. Who will rein supreme as we tally the box office receipts? Who will crumble under the pressure like the popcorn stuck to the theater floor? Join us for another edition of our Movie League!
