    Thunderball book review is up at Books and Nachos. Really enjoyed listening to this one, made me want to re-read the novel.

    Exactly. Though, again, I wish Stuart were still talking about the novels (too).

    I love this retrospective! It confirms my point about Bond's illogical pursuit of horse race cheating and the use of steroids, while Britain is afraid of a Cold War scheme by the Soviets to mess up our electronic devises. Why?

    I'm also glad they refer to Moore's age as not being the most annoying feature of the film by far. The love they express for LM's MP and the deep talk about some of the actors, really gave me a lot of pleasure.

    There were certainly some belaboured or ridiculed points, but the overall podcast was great fun to listen to. Good show!!

    TLD is such an enjoyable podcast for sure! Loved hearing the positive talk regarding Dalton. Well done, fellas!

    Very nice, TLD is one of my favourite Bond films and I agree completely with some of the pertinent point they make. I never bought into Bond falling in love with Kara.

    TSWLM book review is up at Books and Nachos, interesting episode.

    LTK review is up on Now Playing and they must have read my mind because I agree with almost everything they say!

    Goldeneye review up on Now Playing and On Her Majesty's Secret Service book review up on Books and Nachos. Very curious about these two.

    I just started listening to these (the movies only - up to YOLT) and they are great. Certainly a great listen in the car as I go to work. I just finished TMWTGG novel and I'm hoping to start on their book reviews soon. Funny thing is the one of the guys sound just like one of the veterinarians at my workplace, and I can just picture his face talking about Bond.

    It's funny that I listened to most of the podcasts while going to or coming back from work on the bus, some of them are hilarious! I just finished listening to GE review and I enjoyed it a lot although I don't agree with a couple of things. Still my favourite Brosnan Bond film and I'm glad with the the final verdict.

    ^Hopefully you're not laughing at loud on the bus as I do in my car, since I know people can't see me. :P Like everyone has said, I don't agree with some of what they say, it's just nice to hear other people's opinion on Bond in a humorous manner.

    I had to repress many laughs (I can only imagine the look on my face as I try to do it) and disguise many others with cough. For some reason I now listen to them on my own :D

    I just finished listening to it, can't say I disagree with much. Managed to listen to it while working this time :D

    Love the podcast, as usual, although I'm not sure I myself would be quite so harsh towards the film as the hosts sometimes are. Meanwhile I can very much recommend the platinum donation they offer. It's going to be a real treat. Remember, they have a lot more to offer than *just* Bond and I can't stress enough that they reach higher quality with several other series. ;-)

    Review of TWINE is up at Now Playing and Property of a Lady and 007 in NY at Books and Nachos.
    You're right @DarthDimi, these podcasts are really interesting and are well worth contributing to, I've been listening to a lot of the old ones, they can be really funny even when I don't agree with them in the least.

    DAD review is up! Listening to it now. I’m already in a bit of a shock and I’m only about 15 min into it.

    Wow, I'm amazed. :) Granted, I like that they called out the fact that the second half of DAD is much worse than the first half but for Arnie to support the film and completely destroy DN and TB is crazy! :P Still, I love those guys, Arnie included. I'm soooo looking forward to CR now. ;-)

    Yes, I was so surprised too! Still, great fun. Will be eagerly awaiting for CR tomorrow, I'm so curious to know what they have to say about it.

    Bear in mind Arnie recommended Batman Forever as a visual masterpiece...this wasn't all that inconsistent..A wonderful team none the less and a better show than if all three had just repeated the same criticisms.
    by the way you have nothing to fear from the CR review, they loved it
