Approx. transcript time · 01:10:53Read transcript
  • Hottest takes include M anticipating data-driven management and a missed opportunity for a Bond/006 buddy prequel built on their chemistry.
  • Another hottest take argues Brosnan would rank second among Bonds if Campbell had directed all his films, praising Campbell’s energy and criticizing the sequels.
  • Bill’s hottest take proposes Farrell as a potential best post-Connery Bond. Hypothetical career trades and Neeson’s reported family objection follow.

  • Brosnan’s Remington Steele contract reportedly prevented his earlier Bond casting; Dalton later declined a multi-film commitment, opening GoldenEye for Brosnan.
  • Casting What-Ifs reports Gibson, Grant and Fiennes discussions; Gibson’s age comparison is corrected to younger than Brosnan.
  • Law is a hypothetical timing alternative, Paul McGann is reported as a studio fallback, and the Zabka claim is plainly joking.
  • Casting discussion reports Hopkins and Rickman declining an older 006, and Porizkova/Herzigová declining Natalya; Scorupco divides opinion. Courteney Cox as Xenia is explicitly unverified and doubted.
  • John Woo reportedly declined directing; the hosts weigh losing Broken Arrow or Face/Off and praise Travolta’s villain turn.

  • Brosnan receives an apex yes for reviving Bond, with Mamma Mia and The Thomas Crown Affair alternatives. A Hot Fuzz attribution is also made in the discussion, without independent verification.
  • Scorupco and the BMW Z3 receive apex yes answers.
  • GoldenEye’s song is called a possible worst Bond theme; better songs are debated. Janssen is assigned X-Men and Bond overall the Connery era versus Skyfall.
  • Baker’s apex is debated between Walking Tall and Mitchell/Mystery Science Theater; Perrier receives a tentative yes followed by sparkling-water comparisons.
  • Cumming is assigned The Traitors as a later apex, leading to hypothetical casting of Bill or Rachel Lindsay on that show and Survivor.
