Ep. 74 Bond In The Brosnan Era

It was inevitable that our decade-spanning reappraisal of the James
Bond franchise would hit the Pierce Brosnan period, but rather than
return to die another day host John Cribbs and special guest John
Arminio go full-tilt into all four films running from 1995 to 2002.
Following Bond's evolution in an era of megalomaniacal media
moguls, invisible cars and Dr. Christmas Jones, they question
whether the charismatic Irishman ever really found his footing as
the fabled spy or if his efforts were simply not enough. Topics
covered as Cribbs & Arminio bungee jump into each film include
the celebrated N64 Goldeneye video game, Donald E. Westlake's
unproduced Bond script, the bizarre parting sentiment of Desmond
Llewelyn's Q and striking contrast in quality between the first and
second half of Brosnan's final 007 adventure. Do these movies
really mark the low ebb of the series, or are there things to love
about the Pierce years? And don’t fail in your duty to check out
