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- We discuss if Bond is an outdated character for 1995, let alone 2020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.
