Episode 39 - GoldenEye (with Richard)

We're in Bond withdrawal facing the perpetual delay of Daniel Craig's swan song in No Time To Die so Ian dug out a calendar and figured it had been 25 years since GoldenEye hit our movie screens. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, & Georgia – and our very special guest (and Bond connoisseur), Richard -  as we head to the Soviet Union, The UK, France, Florida, and Cuba all while trying to stay onatop of things. Our 39th episode is shaken, not stirred as we discuss:

• The original idea for this film and how very different a film this could have been
• Those who auditioned to be Timothy Dalton's successor and someone who actually turned the role down
• We discuss if Bond is an outdated character for 1995, let alone 2020
• Liam tells us all about Sean Bean in Sharpe and expresses a word or two of admiration for Famke Janssen
• Richard casts a deciding vote in whether a certain pun is funny
• We praise the theme song and bury the score
• We talk about our Favourite Bonds and where Brosnan stacks up
• You'll never guess why they gave Alec Trevalyan his surname
• The request the American military gave 007 and the compromise they made.
• Whether or not GoldenEye is the Best Film Ever.
