So, looks like Bond finally broke us. This movie... man. We sincerely apologize for making people watch this one. It's not that it's bad, it's that it's baffling. This is one of those movies that kind of happens at you. Listen to find out how we really feel.
Also, this movie has caused us to pause our Bond marathon. It was a good run and we might pick up again at some point with a few of the movies, but right now, we just can't face the slog ahead of us. So... join us in a few weeks to find out what we are moving on to.

We continue a new tradition with a look at Kirk Cameron's "epic" work of cognitive dissonance. That's right, we take another look at "Saving Christmas," this time with our friend Rick, who is seeing it for the first time. Is it a bit profane... oh, indeed. But, we still have a good time examining what is put forth as a defence of something that didn't really need defedning.

It's really hard to say anything good about Die Another Day... so we won't even try. It's garbage and we have a good time talking about it. What more do you need?
Don't worry, The Film Thugs will return with... On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Up to this point, not just in our back and forth in time viewing but in the overall history of the James Bond franchise, things have been pretty hit and miss. But, at least in our viewing, there hasn't been an absolute out of the park home run. But then... Casino Royale.
Man...
Let's look at the run up to this one. 2002, Die Another Day... the Bond franchise looke like it was dead. I mean... it wasn't just a bad movie, it was a terrible movie. Had this been the first film of the series... it wouldn't have been because the entire thing would have been dead in the water (but more on that in a few weeks).
So, when 2006 rolled around, the prospect of another Bond movie, though welcome, didn't exactly hold a lot of promise. I mean... it really couldn't be worse, but that didn't mean much.
But it was going to be different. This was a total reboot. Bond in his first mission as 007. Daniel Craig, a guy who looked like he could beat your ass.
Nobody knew what to expect.
Whatever they expected, the were not prepared for what they got.
Casino Royale is not only the best Bond film, it's one of the best spy films ever, full stop. Remove James Bond completely from this, make it another agent, an unknown and this is still one of the best times you could have watching a movie.
So, join us as we discuss this amazing piece of work, and create a new TV show for Ian Flemming.
We will return next week with... You Only Live Twice.
