We grew up with Pierce Brosnan as 007, we played the N64 Goldeneye game, and we shamelessly love the Madonna theme song for Die Another Day. So of course, we picked the first & last of Brosnan’s Bond series to review in The James Bond Character Study part 5.

Here, we discuss how Pierce Brosnan donned the tuxedo in Getting Into Character before diving into his overall performance as 007 in Historical Significance. Then you get a spoiler warning before the puns fly. The Spy Who’s Not Me is where we chat about the fantasy elements of Bond movies, including the huge persona, the settings, and his life as a super spy. In Live and Let Dad (Joke), we recap all of the corny one liners, where one film displays some wit & the other, well, they talk about man junk… a lot. Then we discuss some of the worst scenes in Dr. Please Oh God No & Always Say Never Again, where we criticize Bond’s treatment of women. But we get back to some positives in Q Only Lives Once as we celebrate all of the cars & gadgets. Then in two segments, we enjoy the terrible goodness of the Bond villains in There’s A Reason Tomorrow Never Dies & Goldfingers before we dive into all of the damage 007 creates, even tallying it up in the Millions & Billions of dollars in License To Bill. Don’t forget to check out our previous 4 installments in The James Bond Character Study as we devoted episodes to each of the other 007 actors of Connery, Lazenby, Moore, & Dalton.
