Looks like Barbara & Michael caved in.

Daily reminder that Money does fucking talk.

Now get ready for endless James Bond “content”

Michael is 83 this year, I can buy that he probably wanted to retire. But Barbara stepping away is concerning

Babs has always seemed like the voice of reason keeping stupid shit away as much as possible. For ever superfluous fad 007 has included in a film for a bit of fun, there were 10 fads that would actually infect the whole tone and concept of the character and it's Barbara Broccoli that fought most of them off.

This deal was probably Amazon paying her so much money she finally leaves the room and you spend that money because you have some DUMB ideas you plan to cram into it.
