Shawn (00:02):
Hey everybody. And welcome back to another fun-filled episode of English All Over the Place - as always; I'm your host: Shawn De Haven, along with:
Barney (00:12):
You guys can just call me Barney, James Barney. (Oh,) Thank you, thank you!
Shawn (00:26):
It's a smattering - just a smattering.
Barney (00:26):
I'll be here all week.
Shawn (00:27):
Yes. Please try the liver. Um, as you can see, we have a soundboard here today, so, um, things can go well or things might not go well. I don't know. We'll see. Um, maybe when Barney tells a corny joke, we can just do something like this, but, uh, I didn't get that in time for that, uh, "don't call me late for dinner" a couple episodes ago.
Barney (00:55):
That would have been perfect. (Yes.) I'll bring it back.
Shawn (00:56):
Yes, yes. Yes. So first let's take care of some business beforehand. Um, uh, as you might've noticed, I hope you noticed, uh, we are now on iTunes and all the episodes from Season One and Two are on iTunes and Spotify. And if you check, uh, you could even find us on Instagram (Hey! Hey!), Under, uh, English, all - English all over the place. One word, you can find that. And in the Instagram description, you also can find a link to the website and the logo and the website.
Shawn (01:32):
If you go to the website, downloading is or links to the episodes, of course, but there are quizzes on the contents of each episode and also vocab, uh, vocab, uh, lists that will help you understand and even transcripts of the entire episode and, uh, takes us a long time to do this. So, uh, uh, please, uh, take advantage of this and, uh, especially, uh, see how many times I can use, um, in a podcast. It seems quite a lot, apparently. Yes. Um, and we use cause a lot instead of, because it's, uh, you know, I didn't know that you'll, you'll, you'll notice some, you know, some things that you do over and over again, once you look at transcripts of yourself, it's kind of embarrassing. Um, and also we have a listener survey and because we'd love to hear from you, we want to know what you think about the show, et cetera, you know?
Shawn (02:34):
Uh, can we, can, can you do a TV show, please? We want to see what your face look like. Well, I assure you that we have, uh, uh, uh, faces that are made for podcasts. I don't know, but, uh, that's the time Barney? Yes. Yes. Oh, geez. I'm not used to it yet. I'm not used to it. Yeah. Oh yes. Um, a face made for, ah, it's a little late there guys. Little lake, come on. They're overdoing it. Yeah. You know, there's always a few people in the audience that thought, Hey, I got free tickets. I better, I better make them count. You know, this episode of, I love Lucy, you know, won't laugh at itself. Um, yeah, I'm really dating myself there. Um, so Barney, I think you, what is today? Today is a very unusual episode. Cause usually we do like one overreaching theme, like sports or entertainment or something like that. But today we're doing something that's very specific that is near and dear to your heart. Yeah.
Barney (03:43):
I was going to say, this is, this is kind of the one rare, um, time where, um, you know, like the sidekick is the main feature of the episode,
Shawn (03:52):
But oh, you're not a sidekick - you're not as sidekick. Uh, yeah. I looked at the transcripts and I'm like thinking I gotta get Barney more chance to talk. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. But um, no, he's not on the sofa next to the desk. He's an equal partner here. This is not a late night TV talk, show thing,
Barney (04:15):
Quality versus quantity - in my case (Ouch! Ouch!), In my case.
Shawn (04:21):
Oh man, I wish I had like a burn, like a, like a [oooo!] sound effect on the, uh, um, oh, here, here we go. Here we go. Here we go. <sound effect of kids booing> Kids, kids settled down. He didn't mean it. He didn't mean it he's - he's okay. It's okay. (They really are on your side.). Yeah. They're oh! oh! they're back - they're back.
Barney (04:45):
Are you just have three kids?
Shawn (04:49):
Guys! Guys! It's okay...Well? Yeah. You know, but they - echo chamber, you know (Very vocal), they can sound really loud. Yes. But that sound effect is way too long. So that's why I don't use it very often. Anybody needs 30 seconds of booing or hissing? We got it. Um, so what is today's show about?
Barney (05:10):
Yes, um, I am happy to say - and very much looking forward to, um, talking about, uh, James Bond and, uh, rumor has it, there's a quiz involved and either I'm going to make my family very proud or they will say, "Oh, well, you know, he's the youngest..."
Shawn (05:30):
Is, is their pride dependent on your knowledge of a fictional character?
Barney (05:36):
There is a very deep family tradition. Um, you know, it wasn't one of the first dates, but one of the first few dates that my parents went on was to a Bond film and uh, and they made sure to catch the rest of them. And, uh, my oldest brother, he even has the, uh, the Scene It? DVD game, um, for the James Bond films. And, uh, and my other brother, he just comes up with this knowledge out of nowhere. And, um, boy, I just hope that I can make them proud.
Shawn (06:08):
Oh boy. If I had known that you knew so much about it. Maybe I would have made a harder quiz... Because I have some in there that are easy and then some that are not so easy, but you know, it's not like "What was James Bond's father's dog's name?" or something like that. But, uh, you know, "Sniper", I don't know, that'd be a cool name for a dog by the way, "Sniper: Sit!", Uh, um, I, I, I, um, I watched James Bond movies a lot, uh, especially when I was younger, uh, maybe too young. Um, I can't believe my father took me to Octopussy at that age, but whatever ...
Barney (06:49):
Was that one of the first ones that you saw?
Shawn (06:53):
Probably the first one that I remember in the theater. Yeah. Um, I was probably too young to see other ones, in the theater, uh, I caught more later as an adult. Um, but I haven't been into the Daniel Craig ones (Oh boy!). So maybe we can talk about that because he just doesn't seem as much fun (Oh boy!) as earlier bonds. I mean, with the humor.
Barney (07:18):
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Um, well - that's true (So serious). That's very true. But I mean, he, he changed my whole view of, of the franchise and, um, I mean, especially in light of the Bond that came before him (Who?) Who, um, He, he, um (Oh ah), he, he resurrected it a bit with his first film and then it was way downhill from there. Um, in part, because of their attempts at terrible humor. Yeah. I guess in that case, they really succeeded at terrible humor innuendos all over!
Shawn (07:56):
So I guess, I guess Pierce Brosnan is not your favorite James Bond.
Barney (08:03):
No ... I don't know. He's um, I, I
Shawn (08:06):
Going out on a limb here. I really do like
Barney (08:08):
I really do like Goldfinger [GoldenEye]. I really liked that one; it's in my top 10 for sure. But the rest of them: No, thanks.
Shawn (08:14):
How, how many films has there been, have there been?
Barney (08:20):
Let's see...um...
Shawn (08:20):
Don't name them - we don't have the time!
Barney (08:21):
Right, right, right, right. Quantum of Solace I think was number 22. Um, so yeah, I think 25.
Shawn (08:31):
Yeah. Wow. Yeah. I even heard a rumor that at one time they were going to call this film "25" or something like that. I'm like, that's not a good title. I'm glad they changed that. But wh- what is the title of the latest movie again?
Barney (08:46):
Um, I almost said "No Time to Kill." Um, We've got plenty of time to kill waiting for it to come out. Um, "No Time to Die."
Shawn (08:56):
Yes. Oh, I was not ready with the drum there. Darn it. I got to get that. It is so hard. (Yeah.) This is hard. Yeah. It's kind of funny because the title is No Time to Die and I've heard all a million jokes about No Time to Release; No Time to Show It. Um, and I was joking with you the other day. I said, I don't think it's really a film. They probably just filmed a few scenes to fool the investors because they figured it would never get released. When is it going to be released?
Barney (09:29):
Um, I think the earliest is set for September 30 and then maybe the next week or two weeks later in Japan. And, um, more than a month later in Australia,
Shawn (09:43):
Australia?! Why, why do you know the one in Australia?
Barney (09:46):
And that surprised me. They're like, because of, um, the COVID situation, they're going to delay it even more. Yeah.
Shawn (09:55):
Ah, the lockdown. Yeah. Okay. Now I'm going to, how much do you want to bet that it's going to be released (On time?) when they say it's going to be released this time?
Barney (10:07):
Hmm...I know, I know, I know and I respect that they debated about, um, they debated about releasing it on streaming. And then I respect that they didn't, but now I kind of wonder if maybe they will and then a month or two later have it in the theaters.
Shawn (10:28):
Hmm...Yeah. The streaming versus theaters thing is a discussion we should have some time because, uh, I don't know if it's going to doom theaters or doom profits. Um (Yeah), I know recently a couple movies, their revenues went down because they were released at, on both formats (Exactly) in the theater and streaming. And that's why, uh, Scarlett Johannson is suing Disney right now because part of her contract had to do with, uh, profits from the box office.
Barney (11:05):
Yeah. It's, it's kind of, um, bad faith on their part to do that to her.
Shawn (11:11):
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, and she's had no breaks too, so (Yeah...) - just kidding. (We do feel bad) When, when she, when she, I thought she was dead (Awwww...). Did she fall off that cliff with Hawkeye?
Barney (11:28):
Yeah, I know, well...She, she willingly. Yeah. I thought she let go.
Shawn (11:32):
Yeah. Yeah. Well, she's still dead, (Dead is dead) whether it's willingly or not - yes, dead is dead. Yes. Uh, so who, who was your favorite James Bond?
Barney (11:47):
Oh yeah. Um, I, um, it's hard to say, um, I have, I have a number favorites from, from each era. Um, I, and I have actually kind of come and gone on Sean Connery. Um, but there are some very good Roger Moore ones. Um, The Spy Who Loved Me [For Your Eyes Only] is one of my favorites and the story is so good with that one. And, and the, the bond girl is so unique. Um, she's Greek [Carole Bouquet; French in real life]. And, um, and it has, it's one of the few that has intrigue. Um, I heard a really good NPR article or report once, and they said that for such a long time, the Bond formula was: M tells Bond to investigate a cup of coffee, Bond investigates the coffee and intrigue, you know, and there's a tussle and eventually -
Shawn (12:47):
And sleeps with the barista?
Barney (12:47):
eventually the coffee gets spilled or whatever, and then it's the end with some, um, Bond getting into, you know, interrupted making love basically. And it was that repeated over and over. And then The Spy Who Loved Me [For Your Eyes Only] just did enough little tweaks here and there, and I hadn't seen it for awhile, and I, and I was even misled by the story I thought, oh, I know who the villain is here. And then I was - whoa.
Shawn (13:13):
You were actually surprised. (So) That's, but that's pretty rare in these kinds of films.
Barney (13:18):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Um, and
Shawn (13:20):
They're not - They're not known for their subtlety.
Barney (13:24):
No, no. I think they are kind of their own genre in a way. I never really ever thought of them as an action film. Um,
Shawn (13:31):
No. They're, they're James Bond films - they're spy films. And because,
Barney (13:38):
Yeah, (Go ahead.) Yeah. I was going to say about Bonds, um, for awhile. I didn't like Timothy Dalton at all. Um, and then, and then seeing them again, um, I had a new appreciation for it, for him. His portrayal
Shawn (13:54):
Are, are you, are you in the kitchen there right now, by the
Barney (13:56):
Is it? The door's closed. I'm (Really?!) Sorry about that. Yeah.
Shawn (14:03):
No..it's okay? Yeah, but I don't know if it's going to be picked up or not, but, uh, um, I don't know why the barista is, is making the coffee at this time of night.
Barney (14:12):
There's a new mission brewing.
Shawn (14:17):
James, I need you to look at this cup of coffee in Austria. It's, it's never in like some really - I'm sorry...shitty place - it's like "James, there's something happening in Fresno." Yeah.
Barney (14:30):
I know! We're really disappointed to tell you that you're going to have to go to Club Med, (you know). But, um, um, but in the later, the later, Daniel Craig ones, um, starting with, uh, Skyfall, um, he did go to some pretty, um, you know, places where he's really roughing it.
Shawn (14:49):
Okay. Okay. So it wasn't Tokyo and Paris and Austria and all the different places. So he does go to Shanghai in Skyfall. Of course, but it's not, it's never a Modesto, you know, right.
Barney (15:02):
Or some place in Iowa, right?
Shawn (15:04):
"There's trouble in Wooster." "Isn't it pronounced ("Worchester" Yeah.) Wooster - isn't it pronounced *Woo*ster?" "No, it's Wooster (Don't do this!) - trust me, James... We've been over this before."
Barney (15:17):
It's my accent.
Shawn (15:22):
Um, my favorite let's see my favorite Bond now. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I haven't seen almost any of the Daniel Craig movies actually - at least not from the beginning to the end; so I can't say it there. Um, I guess, I guess Roger Moore, but uh, You know, all of them have good they're good movies. (Yeah, yeah, yeah.) Um, I just think, um, partially when I don't know Pierce Brosnan was in it, I think the writing was pretty bad. (Yeah.) You know, maybe they tried to pack too many action sequences in. Yeah. And,
Barney (16:03):
Yeah, and (Um, but...) Try to, maybe they were trying to update it, but, um, yeah. I like him very much as an actor and what he did in GoldenEye was fantastic, but I think they, they gave him poor stories. Um, the one Tomorrow Never Dies where they, um, are kind of the, the news mogul is making all of this happen. It's a good idea. I can see that being, especially in this day and age, I can see it being relevant. (Oh yeah) Um, but the way they did it, it's too hard to believe...
Shawn (16:38):
We have, we don't have any evil, uh, uh, media mobiles right now at all. So, yeah. (Yeah.) Anyway, so are there any movies that you really hated from the James Bond franchise?
Barney (16:58):
Um,
Shawn (16:59):
I heard Diamonds are Forever, was really bad.
Barney (17:02):
Oh, you know that one, I did not like that one for a long time. Um, I saw it when I was too young and, um, the scene where he almost gets cremated really scared me a lot. Um
Shawn (17:16):
Oh my gosh! I haven't seen it so...
Barney (17:21):
And, um, the bond girl is super annoying and, uh, she's a really famous actor too. I can't remember her name [Jill St. John], But she's so annoying. And the most annoying part about her is how she gets in the way at the end. And that always frustrates me with movies (Hmmm), um, it's just my personality,
Shawn (17:41):
You know what, you know, what frustrates me is like the hero and maybe the heroine are in a crisis. They get reunited and they hug and kiss and you're like, okay, let's get out of here. Okay. The terrorist is still coming, you know, maybe hug and kiss later, the bomb is going to go off (The timer did not stop), you know... Come on, come on. (Yeah.) You know, you can get it on later. You know (We know you will), if you survive this, if you survive. Yes. But that not just the James - Well, James Bond doesn't do that, but like other typical action movies you'll see that, you know, the reunite reuniting scene.
Barney (18:23):
I just, I think that, um, the Pierce Brosnan ones, like the, um, the one where they're using conflict diamonds and Madonna is in it. Um, and it's the guys who like change their, you know, they have this DN - not DNA reconstructing thing, and they change their appearance. And you know, he's doing a dragster across Iceland and um Halle Berry - I'm sorry to say - you know, she, she had one chance to be a Bond girl and she wasted it in this awful film. Um,
Shawn (18:59):
Did you say, could you say she jinxed it?
Barney (19:02):
Oh hey!! that was her name, wasn't it? That's right!
Shawn (19:06):
Yes, it was. She, she jinxed it, man. And I jinxed the drum roll... That's not the drum roll ...Ta-da I screwed up the media for it - I got to name these better!. This is, this is live people. I'm not going to edit this out. This is, this is the gold. This is the, this is the good stuff. Okay. We don't have any, a blooper reels. This is it.
Barney (19:34):
That one was just so awful. It's that was the bottom of the barrel.
Shawn (19:40):
Are you ... Let's go to something positive here. Are you ready for the quiz?
Barney (19:44):
Oh yeah!! I'm ready.
Shawn (19:45):
Okay. So I have 10 questions here, uh, for cash and prizes - no cash and prizes included -
Barney (19:53):
I don't wanna put it on my taxes anyway.
Shawn (19:53):
Um, uh, about James Bond. No, no, no, no. But, uh, um, uh, so I have 10 questions that I've prepared of different difficulty. I don't know. Maybe you'll know them all. Um, and if you get one, right, you will hear this: "Oh James..."(Very nice!) Yeah. And if you get one wrong, you will hear this: "No Mr. Bond"
Barney (20:24):
I expect you to die.
Shawn (20:28):
Yes, exactly - That's, that's a very famous line. I knew when I heard that, I'm like, I can use that. I really had to cut a short, (Alright.) Yes. But again, uh, correct: "Oh James." (Alright) Yes. I also, I also had this one: "Oh very good." Oh very good (Pierce). But - oh good you recognized it? - but it wasn't quite as distinctive and funny as "Oh, James."
Barney (20:53):
Alright, alright! I'm excited!
Shawn (20:53):
Okay. Number one. And this is multiple choice. I will give you four choices here, which of the following was not the name of a Bond girl? A. Pussy Galore. Uh, B. Christmas Jones D. Holly, God- excuse me - Goodhead or E. Susanna Fuchs.
Barney (21:17):
Oh wait, you went - you went: A, B, ...
Shawn (21:20):
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I, I, I deleted one and then I screwed up the lettering. So, so the first one: Pussy Galore, Christmas Jones, uh, Holly Goodhead or Susanna Fuchs?
Barney (21:34):
It is, uh, the last one.
Shawn (21:36):
Oh, well, why don't you say it?
Barney (21:38):
Susanna "Fauchs"
Shawn (21:38):
What was that again?
Barney (21:38):
Fauchs.
Shawn (21:41):
Uh, it's. It's actually, "Fuchs" - I don't know what you're thinking. It's a nice German. It's a German name. F U C H S. Uh, that was a nice girl that I met in Germany. And she, when she said she was coming to the United States, I'm thinking you might want to go with "Fox." Yes. Okay. So you got that one, right, so ... "Oh James." "Oh James." I got to get ready for these soundboards. This is really something you have to get used to. Okay. Well, this is a, I think this is an easy one here. Uh, which James Bond film also had a popular video game to go with it?
Barney (22:22):
Um, a number of video games, the only real successful one...
Shawn (22:26):
Ah, I'd say this Is probably the, this is probably the only real successful one.
Barney (22:30):
GoldenEye.
Shawn (22:34):
"Oh James." Right you are, right you are! I don't know the other ones here. Maybe they were more successful than the ET game, but, um, who knows? Okay. Oh, this is just too easy here. Okay. Um, uh, who wrote the books that the James Bond film franchise is based on?
Barney (22:53):
Oh yeah, Ian Fleming in the Bahamas.
Shawn (22:57):
"Oh James" In the Bahamas - the whole time? Was he living there at the time? Really - Really roughin' it. (I know!) Okay. (Well, he knew where to go save some money.) Okay. Number four. So you're three for three so far I should have given you some harder ones. Um, which famous henchman appeared in two James Bond films eventually turning into kind of a guy?
Barney (23:23):
Jaws.
Shawn (23:27):
"Oh James." (Yeah, he is a good guy!) I don't even get to use the "No" one. Yeah. He got a girlfriend in the end and everything.
Barney (23:33):
Oh yeah, Moonraker.
Shawn (23:35):
Yes. The weird response to the Star Wars craze. Yes. Uh, number five, which studio produced almost all of the James Bond. movies.
Barney (23:49):
MGM.
Shawn (23:51):
No. Which studio like a place? Uh,
Barney (23:59):
Is it, is it, um, is it in the UK?
Shawn (24:04):
Yes. In London. Yes.
Barney (24:05):
Okay. I don't know any ... I'm seeing
Shawn (24:10):
I bet if I mentioned, if I
Barney (24:13):
I'm, I'm seeing a bunch of shadows of naked women bouncing around the screen and it's written there in the opening credits, but I can't,
Shawn (24:23):
I'm not sure if it's written in the opening credits, but I've heard it before. So I included it here. So I'm sorry. Your time is up. Mr. Bond. "No Mr. Bond!" Finally get to use it here. Your first one here. Pinewood Studios, Pinewood Studios. I believe it burned down once too.
Barney (24:42):
I wouldn't be surprised!
Shawn (24:42):
And that delayed and that delayed a well, it wasn't James Bond's fault.
Barney (24:47):
Well, you know, pine is very flammable.
Shawn (24:52):
And especially when it's combined with wood. It's doubly flammable. Okay. This next one might be a little bit hard. I hope so. This actor, singer and sausage producer had a supporting role in the film: Diamonds are Forever. This actor, singer and sausage producer - that's a big hint, right there - had a supporting role in the film: Diamonds are Forever.
Barney (25:21):
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Um, Jimmy Dean. ("Oh James") Thank you for the last hint.
Shawn (25:27):
"Jimmy Dean pork sausages!" Yes. Yes. That's - if you're a Dodgers fan, you would always hear Vin Scully. You know, there was always a sponsor. Yeah. All right. Oh right. This one here. The original title of this James Bond film was "Licensed Revoked."
Barney (25:52):
Really? (Yes.) Was - was it, License to Kill? ("Oh James") Strange!!
Shawn (26:01):
Yes. Yes. Timothy - Timothy Dalton - License Revoked. Yes. I believe there was what, what was the one Japanese, there was a Japanese title for one of the Japanese - the films that like reversed the meaning. Right? Which one was it?
Barney (26:13):
Oh, Japanese title? Um, I don't know. I know there's one where he goes to Japan and becomes and gets...
Shawn (26:18):
Was it, You Only Live Twice? Was it You Only Live Twice and then like in the Japanese, it was like You Die Twice or something like that, you know? And like, like, ah, that's not. (Oops.) Yes. Okay. Uh, I hope this next piece of trivia is correct. I think it is. But, uh, who was the second actor to play? James Bond?
Barney (26:40):
Oh yeah! The Australian actor and model George Lazenby.
Shawn (26:50):
"Oh James." He was a pretty lazy guy apparently, 'cause he thought the, uh, contract was, you know, there was too, too much work and he walked away from James Bond.
Barney (27:01):
And he, he spun it as, oh, I don't want to be typecasted, you know that....
Shawn (27:05):
Okay. Well he wasn't casted at all later cast at all there. So he certainly wasn't typecast. Okay. Um, which car maker has James Bond driven the most in his movies?
Barney (27:21):
Oh boy. Um, I mean, in, in the Roger Moore era, he drove a lot of Lotuses, but I think it's probably Aston Martin.
Shawn (27:36):
"Oh James!" Right you are James. Yes. I liked the, I liked the Lotus one. That one that became a submarine. I remember, I think we had a toy of that at home.
Barney (27:46):
The Spy Who Loved Me.
Shawn (27:46):
Oh okay! I got to watch that movie again. Uh, okay. Last one. Number 10. Of course we can't talk about James Bond without talking about the music. And every, every, every film has a song by a famous artist. Uh, you know, and some of them are more memorable than others. I remember I used to love the Duran Duran song for A View to a Kill (That's great!) Great song. And I heard it was a bad movie, but uh, I, I seem to enjoy it, you know,
Barney (28:18):
I liked it too - he was a bit old by then.
Shawn (28:19):
Christopher Walken come on! (Yeah, right!) Yes, yes, yes. Well, sometimes you see these with the James Bonds. They're like, okay, we can squeeze one more film out of him. You know, Sean Connery, Roger Moore, you know, um, there was that one weird "out of canon" move where he was like an old guy too. Yeah, yeah.
Barney (28:39):
Doesn't count: Never Say Never.
Shawn (28:41):
Yeah, it doesn't count. Yeah. Yeah. But, uh, I, I kind kinda liked that movie, but when I watched the trailer again, I'm like not very, good. Okay. Okay. So number 10. (Okay.) Who sang more than one James Bond theme. I'll give you four names. Okay. Was it Adele, Tina Turner, Shirley Bassey, or is it "Basey?" I can't remember, or Garbage? So aAdele, Tina Turner, Shirley - Shirley Bassey? is it Bassey or Basey? (Bassey) Bassey? Bassey. Okay. That sounds better - or Garbage? I was a big fan of Garbage myself. It sounds strange, but they were a good group. Yeah.
Barney (29:32):
That is hard.
Shawn (29:35):
Yeah. Yes. As far as I know, only one person or one artist, uh, sang more than one movie. (Yeah.) And yeah.
Barney (29:45):
Yeah. I could, I could do the, uh, Who Wants to be a Millionaire thing and say, start saying all of the things that I do know. Well, I know that Tina Turner did, uh, GoldenEye and it's possible that she did another one. Um,
Shawn (29:58):
We don't have lifelines apparently. (I wish we did!) I mean, I, I don't know if your wife would know I doubt it.
Barney (30:05):
My oldest brother's awake, but he's probably at work. Um, It's very important Craig! Yeah.
Shawn (30:14):
What? You're on a game show for no money?
Barney (30:18):
Or prizes!
Shawn (30:20):
That very few people listen to.
Barney (30:24):
Well I'll say...
Shawn (30:26):
Do you want to hear the choices one more time?
Barney (30:27):
I can remember 'em. I'll say. I'll go with Tina Turner.
Shawn (30:35):
Oh, "No Mr. Bond!" So it was Shirley Bassey.
Barney (30:42):
Oh yeah. That was my other choice.
Shawn (30:44):
Yes. She's sang the songs for, um, oh she sang "Goldfinger!" That one, uh, Moonraker and Diamonds are Forever.
Barney (30:56):
Three of 'em!?!
Shawn (30:56):
Yes. Three ... greedy.
Barney (30:58):
Well - they chose - they knew a good thing when they had it.
Shawn (31:01):
Well, it was pretty early in franchise. (That's very true.) So maybe they hadn't, they hadn't established of, you know, one movie, one artist. Uh, there was, uh, there was a recently, uh, famous music group produced a song that wasn't used (Oh wow!). It was intended to be used. Do you remember, do you know that one? For a bonus question I guess. A modern, uh, maybe a group in the last 10 years, 15 years they made a song for a movie. It wasn't used and they went with somebody else.
Barney (31:31):
Whoa, I guess it was probably Phish. ("No Mr. Bond!") It's too long. It's longer than the movie.
Shawn (31:43):
We can't have girls dancing around that long at the beginning. They're getting tired.
Barney (31:50):
And there's not much to dance to.
Shawn (31:50):
Okay. Um, why is there all this smoke in this room here? Um, uh, it was Radiohead.
Barney (32:00):
Really?
Shawn (32:03):
Radiohead made a song for a James Bond movie. I'll have to look back. Maybe it was Quantum of Solace. I can't remember (Yeah, which one?). Um, but, uh, I'll have to look it up again. Catch you on the next James Bond podcast that we do - sorry.
Barney (32:16):
And, of course, our favorite, um, Sizzler, um, artists. Cheryl Crow did one too.
Shawn (32:22):
Yeah. Yeah. That's a little joke because, um, I sometimes, well I used to go to the Sizzler in Mitaka in Tokyo and I used to joke that they would play the same, um, bottom-half of the top 20 hits in like 1993. So it was really strange. They would play these songs like, oh, I know this song, but I haven't heard it since 1994. It was a hit, but it was like number eight, you know, (Peaked at number 8) So, - "No Mr. Bond!" Oh, sorry. Sorry - (No, no - I deserve it) slippery finger. (Yeah.) "Oh, very good." Very good. Very good. Yes. I slipped my trigger finger. Um, so one other thing we're going to do today, um, is we're going to show you the, uh, the trailer.
Barney (33:18):
Oh boy...
Shawn (33:20):
Barney is one of those super spoiler. Um, afraid people. I, um, I still haven't told him that, uh, Darth Vader is actually Luke Skywalker's father, but sorry (That never made it into a trailer, yeah). Yes. Yeah. Well, thankfully that did not (Can you imagine?), At the time it was a big secret, I still remember. I still remember somebody telling me that on the playground and me going no way. Come on at the time. That was good though.
Barney (33:58):
Wow, harsh!
Shawn (33:58):
No, I mean, I didn't believe him. So it didn't matter to me (Thankfully - oh boy!). But, uh, yes. So, uh, we're gonna, uh, stop the podcast for a second. We're going to show the well, show you the trailer and then we'll get your reaction and, uh, this should be fun. So let's just listen to the trailer and here we go "A time.... (No time) Oh, sorry. A time to die. No, No Time to Die (A Time to Kill and No Time to Die). Sorry. Sorry. Yes. Yes. It's sounds like a Byrds' song, you know the seasons one "A time to die. A time to kill." Yes. If they were evil! Okay, here we go. No Time to Die:
Trailer (35:00):
[Audio from trailer]
Shawn (35:21):
All right. We are back after, uh, Barney has watched the trailer for the first time and it's been out for, I don't know, a year and a half, something like that. (Yeah. Yeah.) So what did you think?
Barney (35:39):
Boy, that was, that was really well done.
Shawn (35:43):
Well, they certainly had enough time to do it. Thank you. Thank you.
Barney (35:53):
Yeah, um, I'm excited to find out what happens because I know his luck with women in his life, and I'm really curious to see, um, Moneypenny, um, getting some ... it's a James Bond one - So I'll just say it: getting some action.
Shawn (36:13):
Oh!? Was that her in the movie?
Barney (36:13):
Um, yeah. In the jet (In the trailer?) Yeah.
Shawn (36:19):
Um, actually, uh, no, that's not Moneypenny.
Barney (36:22):
That's the new Moneypenny. So for a long time, she's just been behind the desk and now she's, you know, she shot him, but yeah.
Shawn (36:31):
The black woman?
Barney (36:33):
Yep. That's Moneypenny. She shot him by accident. She thought she could get it in, um, Skyfall and hey, she's flying a pla - a plane now (Really?) Yeah. So I liked that they redid that her character. So she's not just fawning over him as he throws his hat onto the hat ra - hat rack. She's ... in the field.
Shawn (36:56):
Oh boy, I had heard something different, but I better not say it just in case
Barney (37:01):
You're not say it! (Yeah.) You better not say it.
Shawn (37:06):
Okay. I heard that she was Luke Skywalker's mother. Um, no, It's a call back. It's a call back. Yes,
Barney (37:19):
Why did put that in the trailer?!
Shawn (37:23):
This just doesn't make any sense now. How does it - ?
Barney (37:28):
I mean, I know that Daniel Craig was in a Star Wars movie. But *that* much?
Shawn (37:34):
He was just a stormtrooper. Yes. Well, we, hope that you've enjoyed. I know I've enjoyed talking about James Bond and with a passionate fan as, as Barney is. (Thank you.) Um, we hope you've enjoyed this. Even if you don't know about James Bond, you know, take a look, it looks like a good film. I mean, I've never known any James Bond film to be really bad. (No.) You know? (Yeah.) Just not as good as maybe other James Bond films.
Barney (38:06):
Right. That's right. Yeah. And I'm a huge fan of the Daniel Craig ones. And I just think I really have, uh, am really excited for this one.
Shawn (38:18):
Uh, have you thought about who should be the next James Bond? (Oh boy) Because this is really Daniel Craig's last movie. Yeah.
Barney (38:27):
Yeah. This is a good one. I could question to end on. Um, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts too. Um, yeah, I would like to have, well, I know that Pierce was Irish. I'd like to have an Irish Bond. Um, I know they're thinking about having a non-Caucasian Bond too; I'm okay. I think that's cool. That's super cool. But um, you know, anyone...
Shawn (38:54):
That's - that's not what you said when we weren't recording
Barney (38:58):
I know - Just like the NHL slogan. If you can play, you can play. If you can act James Bond, you can be James Bond. Um, I'm, I'm willing to be convinced for the next person, whomever that person might be.
Shawn (39:13):
I think it's going to be somebody who's not quite too famous. (Mm mm.) Because Daniel Craig was not hugely famous beforehand. Yeah. I mean, but he knows who Pierce Brosnan was - I'm just kidding. But, uh, (Remington.) Well, because he was supposed to be Bond at one time (Earlier. Yeah.) But he was in contract for the TV show at the time. So they went with, uh, Tom Selleck. Um, that's the old Indiana Jones thing here actually, because Tom Selleck was supposed to be Indiana Jones, but he stayed with Magnum PI. (Yeah. Yeah.) Well, this has been a big dive down the James Bond hole. Let's see. I'm uh, my, my, who should I think should be, um, I'm thinking he's a little bit older, but maybe Jim Carey.
Barney (40:10):
He is a good, he's a good detective. He's a very good detective, but you can he spy?
Shawn (40:17):
He can find pets, but he's not very subtle. You know,
Barney (40:23):
Well James Bond is really subtle when he, I mean, in Casino Royale, he just blew his cover right away on purpose. So, you know,
Shawn (40:33):
Well, I hope you guys were, uh, uh, shaken, but not stirred or stirred, but not shaken by this episode. Um, and we hope that you continue listening and please send us your feedback. Uh, there's a couple of new poll questions on the website too, that you can find through Instagram. Uh, what topics do you want us to talk about in the future? Things like that. Um, which host is more handsome? No, that's not, that's not, uh, you can't see us. You can't see it. (Yeah.) But yeah, it's me. I'm just kidding, (I know - it depends what you like.) Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Yes. All right. Um, I look forward to you guys coming to our, our next episode and, uh, um, uh, thank you for tuning in, uh, Barney. Anything else you want to say?
Barney (41:22):
Yeah. And you guys are the reason why we do this, although it's just a lot of fun anyway, but we're glad that you guys have the chance to listen along.
Shawn (41:32):
Well, actually I'm in it for the money. Okay. I didn't say I was very smart, but I am in it for the money. Yes. That may never come to fruition, but I'm okay. All right guys, until next time, see you later.
