**First and foremost, circumstances forced Edgar to record the plot synopsis at a later date and with a different mic than usual. We apologize for the disparate audio quality that you\u2019ll surely notice for a few minutes when he reads it.  

Hello, dear listeners! Let\u2019s wind the clock back to 2002. The Bond film franchise is full swing into its 40th anniversary celebration. Cross-branding, an onslaught of promotional material, and of course the series\u2019 20th film installment, Die Another Day starring Pierce \u2018ooh la la\u2019 Brosnan.  Co-host Mathieu is a movie theatre employee, living the high life of being in the thick of Bondmania. Edgar is\u2026missing in action? 

Yes friends, it is at long last time to delve into Brosnan\u2019s 007 filmography And what better way to get the ball rolling than by taking care of the film many deem to be the lesser of his entries, much like we did with Connery?  But saying a film is not up to par does not insinuate that there isn\u2019t anything to talk about. This week\u2019s Part 1 of the Die Another Day discussion proves just that point. In fact, DAD is replete with noteworthy plot points, albeit not always for the right reasons. 

There are so many things to discuss that by the end of Part 1 we aren\u2019t even half way through the film! Do Mathieu and Edgar crack the code to the genius of Madonna\u2019s title song? Do iffy Korean accents mar the pre-title sequence? Is it okay to spout one-liners to nobody but oneself? What\u2019s up with the weird pace to the dialogue exchanges? Do North Korean military prison camps fatten inmates up? 

So sit back with a mojito, light up a delectado en enjoy Die Another Day with us, yes and no. 

Analyze this! Analyze this! Analyze this, this this!
