009 – The Man with the Golden Gun

Roger Moore returns, and his Bond is at peak asshole in the 1974 film The Man with the Golden Gun! Listen as we gush about Christopher Lee, be charmed by Nick Nack, be confused about the film’s Asian representation, and rage over a poorly placed slide whistle. A couple of tropical “Golden Gun” cocktails help us take both good and the bad, so join us for the ups and downs of this perfectly serviceable film.

008 – Live and Let Die

We’re back with season 2: The Roger Moore Era!! Keegan and Chris head down to New Orleans, sippin’ sazeracs, and watching the funky fresh (and a bit funky stale) 1973 film Live and Let Die. Enjoy crocodiles, massive boat chases, a kick-ass theme song, and problematic depictions of black characters and culture. This film has it all!

“Crystal Blue-Haired Persuasion” (Season 30, Episode 23)

In an unprecedented first, the guys take a look at the most recent (later years-iest?) episode of the Simpsons they possibly can with this season’s finale. They also continue to hype up a special anniversary that’s around the bend…

“The Fland Canyon” (Season 27, Episode 19)

The guys come to blows over their opinions of this later year episode of the Simpsons. Is it hilarious, contrived, or a little bit of both? You decide!

“The Last Traction Hero” (Season 28, Episode 9)

Wow. Just…wow. We’ve seen some weird plot decisions in some of the episodes we’ve covered in this podcast’s short run so far, but this one really takes the cake. And what a bitter cake it is!

The Bondies (Season 1 Finale)

For the final episode of our first season, we do something a little different. We make an award show!! It’s the perfect way to look back at all the films, and drinks we’ve enjoyed so far. We decide the victors in numerous categories, along with some help from our listeners. All while “enjoying” classic vodka martinis (and a bunch of olives.)

“The Yellow Badge of Cowardge” (Season 25, Episode 22)

After another hiatus (what a year for podcast-derailing life events) the guys are finally back! In today’s episode they tackle a pretty good Simpsons installment, while also wondering if we’re all eventually going to be replaced by memes in the future.

046 – Dirty Daniel (S: 1, E:1)

“Mr. Irresistible” (Season 1, Episode 1)

This is a weird one, folks. In an effort to cleanse their pallets of the Simpsons stinkers they’ve recently encountered, Pat and Craig thought it would be funny to take a look at the first episode of the ill-begotten Michael Richards Show. And it was funny alright, but not “Ha-Ha” funny. Strap yourselves in for a bumpy one!

“Black Eyed, Please” (Season 24, Episode 15)

Pat and Craig hike up their short-pants and do their darnedest to not lose their minds during this strange, Frankenstein’s monster of an episode. Also, apologies for the audio quality…we have no idea what happened there.

044 – Crippling Existential Crisis (S: 26, E:5)

“Opposites O-Frack” (Season 26, Episode 5)

The Simpsons swerve back into “Issues” territory, with this episode which tackles fracking. You can probably guess how it goes.

007 – Diamonds Are Forever

Time to play a little game called “where are the frickin’ diamonds?!” We bid farewell to Sean Connery in perhaps the most polarizing film we’ve explored yet: the silly Las Vagas romp known as Diamonds Are Forever. And we cheer Sean Connery’s goodbye from the show with a Black Velvet cocktail.
