I am so happy to have this podcast back! This is my favorite! Great show! When is the next show going to be ready?
Hi Alex! Thank you so much. Yes, we got a few months behind in posting episodes (totally my fault). But we kept recording episodes all along, so I’ll be posting two more this month! Then, BREAKING NEWS, starting on Monday, April 2, we’ll be posting WEEKLY episodes every Monday with a slightly different format. Thanks again for sticking with us so faithfully.
Sincerely,
Jason
Another outstanding blast from the ‘cast for the CTS crew. I enjoyed listening to this one quite a bit. Interesting that “Octopussy” went over so well with everyone. I haven’t seen it in years, but my memory of that one has always been that it’s one of the better Bonds from the Roger Moore era. Whenever I see “Best of Bond” retrospectives, on the other hand, it seems to routinely get slagged. Be interested to know what the crew makes of the Timothy Dalton duology when you get. Dalton is a far more interesting Bond than either of the actors to play the part immediately before (Moore) and immediately after (the wildly overpraised Pierce Brosnan) him. For me, “The Living Daylights” has always been one of the most rewatchable Bonds, and, while I haven’t seen it in years, I recall that “Licence to Kill” was praised in its day for a lot of the same reasons that critics flipped their lids over “Casino Royale” (the first Daniel Craig film, not the Peter Sellers Bond spoof).
Hi Cody,
Thanks for your nice comment and your never-ending support. I think it’s official: You’re our No. 1 most supportive fan, and we’re grateful for you. For those who read the comments, here’s a little exclusive news update: In April we’ll try to release the three episodes that we already have recorded and “in the can.” Editing always takes me forever. We’ve got two juicy “Star Trek” episodes (as you know, you’re the guest on the second one), and then we’ve got a must-hear “Godfather” episode with some bittersweet news contained therein. That’s all I’ll say now, but you can probably guess where this is going. Anyway, as you’ll hear in “The Godfather” show, Episode 22, your Bond knowledge might come in handy for providing some closure. Thanks for writing, and I hope you catch the forthcoming three episodes. They’re all gold.
