Most Rewatchable Scene

The tank chase

In the discussion (9)
Approx. transcript time · 00:32:46Read transcript
  • The opening bungee jump and motorcycle-to-plane stunt are major scene candidates. The plane leap is a Dan Campbell candidate, with physical implausibility contrasted with convincing execution and Cruise comparisons.
  • The car race is a scene candidate; the evaluator is initially misidentified as Moneypenny then correctly identified as Caroline. The Ferrari’s superiority and workplace impropriety are discussed.
  • The baccarat scene prompts uncertainty about its rules and a personal anecdote about a skilled woman dominating a magazine-workers poker game.
  • Bond’s signature introduction, drink order and Moneypenny flirtation are scene highlights, with changing workplace norms discussed.
  • The steam-room fight and 006 reveal are scene candidates; the betrayal makes his explanatory speech more motivated. Bond’s orphan backstory prompts a Vertical Limit comparison.
  • The tank chase is the preferred scene for two hosts, praised for escalation and destruction while its operation, speed and tight turns are nitpicked.
  • Xenia’s tree death and Bond’s squeeze joke are praised as outrageous Austin Powers material.
  • The exploding pen, ladder fight and Boris freezing are scene candidates; the final structure evokes Fortnite.
  • The tank chase wins the majority, with the opening twelve minutes the dissenting choice. Bond meeting Jack Wade is a late minor scene candidate.

The most "year the movie came out" thing

BMW Z3; post-Soviet Russia; internet cafés; computers; workplace flirtation; theme-song team

Approx. transcript time · 00:49:11Read transcript
  • Most-1995 choices include post-Soviet Russia, internet cafés, computers, workplace flirtation and the theme-song team; BMW Z3 is the leading choice.
  • The Z3 marketing debut prompts Bill’s dislike of the design and a joking car-podcast/personal driving digression.
  • The driving anecdote concludes and the Z3 period answer is reaffirmed.

What’s Aged the Best?

Xenia; Russian villains; Joe Don Baker; product placement; Minnie Driver; poster; Brosnan; villain speeches

In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 00:51:24Read transcript
  • Xenia’s lethal leg squeeze, overt sexual performance, Russian villains and Joe Don Baker’s later-career presence age best; his prior Bond role and Felix’s injury prompt uncertain recollections.
  • Organic product placement, Minnie Driver’s cameo and the poster are aged-best choices.
  • Brosnan’s balanced Bond is praised through NBA-center analogies; future Bond casting and Dua Lipa involvement remain speculation, with Elba, Kaluuya and Patel alternatives discussed.
  • Brosnan’s fit is contrasted with Hugh Grant; Liam Neeson is imagined as a tougher alternative. An oldest-Bond claim is also made, without independent verification.
  • Elaborate villain speeches instead of simply killing Bond are enjoyed despite implausibility, with the pen scene criticized; Bond’s post-explosion victory lap is admired.

What’s Aged the Worst?

Theme song; dinosaur rebuke; gadgets; score; passwords; serious Caribbean interlude

In the discussion (4)
Approx. transcript time · 01:04:27Read transcript
  • The theme song and the misogynistic-dinosaur rebuke are aged-worst choices, followed by a football-injury digression. The discussion attributes the rebuke to Q; that attribution is retained as a podcast claim.
  • The gadget scene and score are criticized, especially the car-race music, with The Saint’s soundtrack offered as a better comparison.
  • Weak satellite passwords are an aged-worst choice, prompting recollections of early email names.
  • The serious Caribbean reflection is criticized as inconsistent with this Bond’s tone. A claim of only one sexual encounter is corrected by recalling Caroline.

The Stephen A. Smith Hottest Take Award

Data-driven M; Bond/006 prequel; Campbell directing every Brosnan film; Farrell as Bond

In the discussion (3)
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.

Apex Mountain

Brosnan; Scorupco; BMW Z3; Perrier qualified

In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 01:23:40Read transcript
  • 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.

Just One Oscar

Campbell; editing/effects; bungee stunt performer
