Our spoiler section enjoys a bunch of pun-titled segments that break down this plot, and all it’s highs, lows, anti-heroes, & henchmen. And gosh darnit, yes, I will write all those pun titles for you again now. There’s The Spy Who’s Not Me, where we discuss the fantasy & then how we’d fail as Bond. We recap all the best one liners in Live & Let Dad (Joke), Dr. Please Oh God No & Always Say Never Again delve into our worst scenes, and we rebound with some more bests with Q Only Lives Once to rejoice in all the cars & gadgets. Then it’s time to discuss the bad guys with There’s A Reason Tomorrow Never Dies & Goldfingers before we turn the spotlight back on Bond & all the property damage his missions permit in License To Bill.
