Hello dear listeners!

Are you sometimes convinced that Sir Roger’s James Bond and Mr. White from CR, QOS, and SP are the hosts of the James Bond Complex? The familiar, nefarious tone when they proclaim that they have people everywhere. The amusing double-entendres and soothing voices to keep the proceedings light and engaging. The unquestionable professionalism with which they go about the analysis of the Fleming novels, the films, and everything in between. You’d earn top marks, dear listeners.

Except they’re fake.

No, it’s just Mathieu and Edgar entering the recording studio, week and week out, to deliver thorough commentary on the James Bond phenomenon.

As you may have guessed, this week the lads crack open 1983’s Octopussy. A rather important film in the franchise, given the same year’s non-official rival 007 picture starring, oh, what was his name again? Oh right, Sean Connery.  As was typical of the 80s Bonds, OP is supported by a fairly complex plot, so Matt and Edgar have a lot to wade through. How decadent is the West? Mirror mirror on the wall, Is Louis Jordain’s Kamal Khan the slimiest of them all? How much can one pack into a horse’s *ss? How easy is it to swap Fabergé eggs at an auction at Sotherby’s (Answer: incredibly)? Is there maximum age for Moore’s Bond at which women left and right stop fantasizing about him?

Sit down, fill your tummies with an egg (hard boiled, scrambled, sunny side up, etc. Your choice!) and get ready for Part 1 of our Octopussy review.

Let the discussion commence!
