Hello dear listeners!

Do you wanna get bugnuts?!? Let\u2019s get bugnuts!!!! Oh, it\u2019s on now. We return to 2002\u2019s Die Another Day for the second and concluding part of the film review. As listeners may recall, co-hosts Mathieu and Edgar were, how shall we put it, uncharacteristically kind towards the picture, at least as far as the general consensus surrounding the film goes (read: it\u2019s the absolute worst Bond film). But then again, as Matt so astutely put it, the film is divided into two parts, the first being a (somewhat) gritty thriller about a spy left out in the cold, on a solo mission to avenge those who wronged him. It\u2019s a section that genuinely has some meat to it, with legitimately interesting ideas thrown into the mix.

Now comes the second part.

This is where the filmmakers pull out all the stops, throwing in everything including the kitchen sink. As they are want to do, Matt and Edgar strive to cover every nook and cranny of this decidedly loony portion of the film. Does Bond just make up espionage tactics on the fly as excuses to sleep with women? How does the film\u2019s final half hour compare to a Michael Bay opus? Why did the series wait so long to give a baddie a super car? How juicy are Gustav Graves\u2019 lines (spoiler: quite). Iceberg surfing, anyone? Are there really parachutes for two people?*

DAD is the film that just keeps on giving reasons to talk about it, as evidenced by this thorough examination this week. So sit back, have some sex for dinner, death for breakfast and\u2026some James Bond Complex as an \u2018\u2019amuse bouche?\u2019\u2019 Oh!

*Whoops! Not anymore!
