You know?

That's exactly right.

You know what I think?

He definitely saying never again.

Yeah, great.

That's what the last one should have.

A definitely.

Never again.

I won't do it.

Don't make me do another one.

No, he's of course, back in.

There's not enough time to die.

That's right.

Is that right?

I simply can't find the time to die.

That's right.

This will mark 14 years of him in the role.

That's incredible, isn't it?

Doesn't feel that long.

Like Hillary was Bond forever.

Yep, what you more was born forever.

And today he's still bond.

Lazenby was born for too long, but I think that I'd like to talk about the legacy of the Daniel Craig James Bond.

Helen's kind of changed the narrative of James Bond.

Okay, for good or ill?

Yeah, forget how he suits the role of the character.

Maybe what might be coming next?

How is the little suits? 00:00:58.650 --> 00:01:1.830 So there are going to talk about the little suits anyone you could leave it like this. 00:01:1.830 --> 00:01:2.050 Fear. 00:01:2.050 --> 00:01:2.750 That would be great. 00:01:2.760 --> 00:01:4.400 But I will say this about Daniel Craig. 00:01:4.410 --> 00:01:7.020 I don't Lovell the movies, but they love him as a man. 00:01:7.030 --> 00:01:7.500 Yes. 00:01:7.500 --> 00:01:16.210 You send love letters to him, You know, like walks you send them to his house was going to say he is consistently good in these mixed bag movies.

Think so?

I mean, I don't think it gets better than Casino Royale.

I'll quite like Skyfall.

I know you don't as much, but I I stories rewatched it since we saw it at the movies.

Yeah, it's got a breakneck pace.

Where you gonna hand wave a bunch of the weak elements of it away?

I guess that story did I feel like 2 May skyfall is the great a great example of what people call frigia logic.

When you watch the movie, you don't think about it and you're going to your fridge lighter.

Any like a white of minutes.

Eight minutes.

I didn't amount of ketchup.

You said yourself, you.

So why don't we keep it in the fridge?

I'm a monster.

That's right out of the guy, though I feel like he was criticized for a number of things being blown.

Being blonde being short, you see that short? 00:01:54.210 --> 00:02:6.400 I mean things under six foot, which is, I guess, Sure, that mean That being said like Roger Moore is probably quite tall, but he also moves like a rubber band thing because this version of Bond is the first version. 00:02:6.400 --> 00:02:11.340 Where I feel like he can actually fight is like this bulldozer of a man.

Wait, I mean, we have discussed pitting the various James Bond actors together.

Sure, the result is always the same day Craig's bond would crush all of them to death without question.

Do you feel, though he's to brutish to be Bond?

What do you think?

That kind of tone that down over the years.

I think they have refined him as a character since then.

Like, I feel like that character is always He's always ready.

T o do some violence.

I couldn't even think of a specific example of doing violence.

He's always always ready to do.

A little bit of islands is running through a wall.

Yeah, he's beating up a park.

Oh, God, you know what?

He's up to it.

I just want things that's being stand out in this series for Mei is the action is incredible for the most part.

Absolutely, really.

Stand out stunts, set pieces and things like that.

And Bond is kind of known for that.

Yeah, I mean, you know, for a lot of people, it isn't about whether the plot necessarily makes any sense. 00:02:59.530 --> 00:03:1.820 It's more about cool locations. 00:03:1.830 --> 00:03:4.880 Cool explosions, yes, spectacular stunt sequences. 00:03:4.880 --> 00:03:6.450 Helicopter corkscrew. 00:03:6.540 --> 00:03:8.070 Yes, Spector. 00:03:8.080 --> 00:03:8.860 The movie. 00:03:8.920 --> 00:03:9.620 That's right. 00:03:9.620 --> 00:03:10.510 Not a good movie.

Dangerous stunt.

So Dangerous Stunt, though One of things I don't really love about these movies is that it follows one narrative arc.

I don't care for that at all.

Yeah, I feel like, you know, I think it's like I have things that tie back, but it's become so much of like, Oh my God, this is your past and everything was organized.

The movies in the main, like the vast majority of them, are James Bond is a super suave, super sexy spy.

Yes, and he's going on a mission.

And then he he made a beautiful woman.

Yes, and a beautiful villain.

Yes, and he romances one and kills the other direct, which is which is largely irrelevant.

You know, and then when he finishes a mission with a quip, and that's the end, I guess they think the producers decided that audiences want Maur these days because Born, I guess, is ultimately the bond movies, a kind of a mishmash of whatever. 00:03:59.290 --> 00:04:0.770 Whatever else has been popular? 00:04:0.780 --> 00:04:1.940 Yes, in recent years. 00:04:1.940 --> 00:04:4.800 So I guess with the advent of the Bourne movies, they went. 00:04:4.800 --> 00:04:6.980 What bond needs is he needs a tortured past. 00:04:6.980 --> 00:04:12.860 Yeah, and he needs a long narrative where he lives, who is less wind surfing on a sheet of ice.

And look, I based on what you've just said, I completely understand that the bond movies were in a death spiral, right?

Daniel Craig, in my humble opinion, but I don't feel like we've ever really gotten the definitive James Bond's just does a mission movie.

Yep, I mean the ones where he's kind of done that, like Skyfall, where there's, like a villain and yes to stop in minutes and mission.

It's since being retroactively made that it was his brother.

Whatever you wanna man Ryan Hardy brothers Blofeld, and we got Quantum of Solace.

But that's a direct sequel to it is a direct sale.

And also it's got a very uninspiring villain.

Yes, which is a man shorter than Daniel Craig, if you can't even imagine.

What did they even find someone like that?

I think it was under Daniel Craig's shoe.

I think they dug a little trench for the man to stay.

Okay, right.

Yeah, that makes sense. 00:04:59.520 --> 00:05:2.460 See, I think the quantum of Solace gets a bad rap. 00:05:2.470 --> 00:05:8.050 It's not great, especially after Casino Royale, but that was written by Daniel Craig. 00:05:8.060 --> 00:05:12.840 And like the director on set while they're making that during the writersstrike was not a rider.

But if you watch those movies kind of back to back, it's a pretty good continuation.

But it's obviously not a patch on casino around, and obviously you are immediately thrown out because at the end of Casino Royale on, he's wearing a vest.

Yes, and in the start of Quantum of Solace is not wearing a vest.

What did he take his jacket off and take the vest off and put the jacket back on?

Why would you?

Sounds like something you did.

Really Must have you take the jacket off and you place it carefully on the backseat of your car.

One of things that I don't like about this bond is he's blond.

That's his short I'm actually fine with.

I think he's not even that blonde.

It's not like he's no, not even blond hair.

He's really don't.

Yeah, but I see a lot of regular person here.

Yes, but I feel like he retires too much.

Oh, my God is retiring every move he retires.

You know what? 00:05:59.420 --> 00:06:6.220 Also, he went from guy Just getting his double o status in Casino Royale to being like M. 00:06:6.220 --> 00:06:9.390 I six is ultimate spy legend by this new one? 00:06:9.400 --> 00:06:11.860 Yeah, like, Oh, my God, is remember him?

Yeah, that was like a couple of years ago.

Come on, He's done for missions.

Well, that's the thing that because I presume he does other stuff even mine is right there is.

I'd like to see one of those quiet friend.

There's a few video games on DDE.

What?

Not that Do touch on some of his adventures, but he retires in Casino Royale and that comes out of retirement.

I don't think he retires in Quantum of Solace, but then what?

He's thinking about thinking about it.

But then it was like Dan wanted on a matter of time.

It's right at the start of Skyfall.

He's retired because he got shot.

Yes, Then he comes back.

And by that point, even though it's six years in or a few missions for him there, like you're a relic of the past Bond, what you even doing here?

You?

We don't need you anymore like it just started.

We just started doing that.

I feel like if they got to this movie now, when did that?

It would make more sense.

And then, Inspector, he retires at the end. 00:06:58.400 --> 00:07:2.120 Yes, so presumably in this new movie, he's retired at the start, then comes out of her time. 00:07:2.120 --> 00:07:5.440 That's the reason you double 07 But, well, you be retiring so much. 00:07:6.080 --> 00:07:11.510 You know, it's a hard life or whatever, but I think that's kind of a car that you can only pull once, maybe twice.

We have to go talk about the tiny little suits.

You, of course, this is your thing.

This is your area.

Look, yeah, I feel like costume wise.

Casino Royale got out.

All right, guys, easy.

He's looking.

He's casual winning days to be casual.

Yep, He's like in a suit or tuxedo when he needs to be.

He's going to stand out a little cause he's Daniel Craig, obviously the shortest man in the world.

But otherwise he's gonna blend into his environment whether there isn't a casino or is it the airport or wherever is gonna blend right in there.

Is that a weird snake?

Mongoose?

Five.

Exactly.

Every other movie after that, he's wearing these tiny little suits.

No matter where he is the casino, Whether is it in an airport, you'd be like Zach.

I Yeah.

What's he doing?

He was wearing a tiny little suit city suit shrink in the wash, and he has no other suits.

But with that, though, there's the problem of the onset stunts, Right?

Right.

Cause there otherwise. 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:2.450 Because if you move too fast, yeah, in those little suits, you gonna rip the slaves. 00:08:2.450 --> 00:08:3.230 Oh, yeah, it's over here. 00:08:3.230 --> 00:08:4.840 Many is any stunt doubles. 00:08:4.850 --> 00:08:8.990 They've got a slightly biggest suit, right, so you can actually swing your griller arms in it? 00:08:9.000 --> 00:08:9.380 He's got it. 00:08:9.380 --> 00:08:10.750 He's got a hero Wardrobe?

Yes, which is the tiny suits for he's just standing in my doing.

Opposed not to not to broadly.

Otherwise he'll rip him.

Yeah, and then he has a set of identical clothes.

Slightly bigger.

Yes, he needs to do literally anything.

Like a walk.

Jump squats.

But I think that that's a result off the size of Daniel Craig, because he is by far the fittest off the James Bond.

Yes, a long way.

I mean, that shot of him coming out of the water in Casino Royale, remember?

It's become so iconic.

They say that it was an accident that on the day he just went up on a sandbank and they filmed it.

I do not believe that for a second, and that's I think that's also the smallest he's, but he's been like he's gotten, but I think I like, and that's the biggest thing he's going to slim down a bit as I go on.

Yeah, we'll agree to disagree, agree to disagree. 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:2.940 But if you are a man that saws that isn't, I'm short but enormous short run. 00:09:3.360 --> 00:09:5.590 Almost that is an odd size for a surgeon. 00:09:5.600 --> 00:09:9.800 It's going by too much about Certs, but I guess they'd still be able to Tyler them to fit him properly. 00:09:9.810 --> 00:09:16.200 Yes, and he should wear more undercover stuff like they do in model T shirt, leather jacket, sunglasses, Haskell cap.

Yes, exactly.

The hat's his sports table, right?

British sports team sports the London Crumpets.

Look, regardless of how this barely enough time to die, how how well it does.

Yeah, I definitely think you will go down as one of the better bonds, if not the best, because people have short memories.

People have short memories.

Babel default to Connery, obviously, but everybody has their fact.

The second most dangerous bond.

That's right.

And probably the most dangerous actor.

Yes, in your life, yes, but I think there is an appeal to all of them, and everybody's got their favorites.

Like I love the Roger Moore version cause he's just so silly and Campion that kind of, you know, it's It's I just think of him as the human raised eyebrow.

Yes, and Pierce Brosnan is good in that one movie. 00:09:58.950 --> 00:10:0.000 That's good of here, Selden. 00:10:0.000 --> 00:10:3.210 I mean, he's great for product placement. 00:10:3.220 --> 00:10:4.400 No, he is, if you like. 00:10:4.400 --> 00:10:6.760 Damn, I wish there was a movie with constant product placement. 00:10:6.770 --> 00:10:11.540 Any of the president movie any and all you want man in a frilly shirt lays a busy man.

You know he is.

Anyway, what do you think of the James Bond kind of legacy that he's kind of left?

And what do you think's coming?

Next thing they're gonna go with a female James Bond.

Female.

James Blonde is going to change the rice.

Do you think I don't know any and all of that Do you think James Born is gonna get in an empty cello case and like ski down a mountain with it?

Like Dalton already?

It's not happening again.

I think the public are ready for a big change up.

I mean, I know they didn't take blonde well on whenever somebody suggests Idris Elba.

There's people obviously flip out and things like that.

But I think the next move is going to bay a big shift.

I'm going to say a blonde, Idris Elba.

Oh, my goodness, can you imagine such a world?

But I feel like even if they continue this universe, where where they continue the new double 07 as not James Bond.

But it's just the gentle seven years. 00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:3.430 It wouldn't surprise me if they even took it in that direction and that also leaves the door open for Daniel Craig tohave to return at some point anyways. 00:11:3.430 --> 00:11:15.250 Look, if you are interested in James Bond, of course, there was that new trial and we have a podcast called the Weekly Planet, where talking with comics and TV shows every Monday On this Monday morning's episode, we're talking the new James Bond trailer.
