S4E24: Sexy Beast
Added 2025-10-18 10:39:35 +0000 UTCKill James Bond Podcast continues it's completely unashamed fellating of Jonathan Glazer by watching his (feature-film) directorial debut, Sexy Beast. We've often seen, in the course of 'getting the gang together', our protagonist coming across one potential member who insists he's retired. He's out, he's happy, he's got a beautiful wife and likes his life. What if he really, really meant it?

FREE PALESTINE
Hey, Devon here. In our home, we talk a lot about how insane everything feels, and agonise constantly over what can be done to best help the Palestinians trapped in Gaza facing the full brunt of genocidal violence. My partner Rebecca has put together a list of four fundraisers you can contribute to- all of them are at work on the ground doing what they can.
-Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine

-Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla
https://www.waterislifegaza.org/
-Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also

-Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches

Sounding like Ian is continuing his role from Villain where he was shagging Richard Burton

2025-11-30 02:58:06 +0000 UTCNot the point, obviously, the movie needs to happen. But my first thought is if you need an excuse for why you can't do the job, and you just narrowly missed getting crushed by a boulder, maybe break one of your bones. If the boss comes to see you and you've got an arm or leg in a cast, and a giant boulder or crater in your pool, pretty self-explanatory

2025-11-26 18:44:02 +0000 UTC(Morbid) I found it interesting that the viscera left on the drinks cabinet after Teddy shoots Harry, looks more like rose petals on tattered silk. I dunno of they did that on purpose but I took that as a crime of passion - you fucked me so I fuck you, much like when H kills Don. Also is it me or are half the cast calling Gal "girl" as a sortof ultimate wolf wistle.

2025-10-27 20:04:57 +0000 UTCThere are a lot of interesting reads on Don Logan, but a personally haunting one is that he comes across as a school bully. The intimidating and threatening nature where nothing you say gets to them was a terrible throwback to my school days. He has an unstoppable urge to torment and agitate, and watching this, it properly set me on edge; it's well cast and brilliantly played. As a motoring journalist, the Porsche read is a good one. Porsche, in the late 90s, was stumbling around trying to reinvent itself. They'd struggled to find success with the trans-axle series cars and were desperate to find a means of reinventing the 911 for the new age. It was a marque running out of time, and by the late 90s, the 993 series 911 was desperate for retirement, the last of the air-cooled old guard of Porsches clinging on. Potentially a parallel with Teddy, a gangster from a previous generation, going for one last job. Porsches through the 80s were also the choice of the city boy done good. if you'd made bank from banking, chances are you'd later find yourself wrapped around a telegraph pole in the remains of what was once your Stuttgart built sports car (if you did ok, you got a 924, decently, the 944, really well a 911 and very well indeed, a 911 turbo which was just a fast track to a major car accident). It carried on that affect of greed with a touch of nouveau riche to the 90s and unintentionally doubled down on it come the 00s as the Boxster and especially the Cayenne hit their stride.
