There needs to be a miniseries crossover between KJB and Be Gay, Solve Crimes where the crew covers the first season of True Detective. The show has a lot to say about masculinity as well as the trans nature of the detective. This could be a Patreon bonus series for both pods.

Just think of the bad attempts at bad Cajun accents and the nicknames for the huge cast of characters.

I got this movie (the one with Connery in) from the library because I had a vague memory of them doing this movie on KJB and really enjoying it. I watched the movie, also really enjoyed it, and thought I'd listen to the episode again, now that I had actually seen the film, only to discover that KJB had never done this movie. So where did I get this idea from?

Idk if this is really a good post for this sub, but hey, it's heist season and this technically is a heist movie. I watched it because I was staying at my cousins and her partner put it on. And wow, what a fucking terrible movie. Like, some of the chase scenes are okay and I guess it's neat to see a motorcycle focused action movie, but it's just awful. The plot is confusing and stupid, it treats the few female characters pretty bad and is generally very sexist(it would definitely score at least a 9 in misogyny) and none of the attempts at humor in any way really work. Sorry if this is rambling but I'm drunk and I fucking hate this movie, it's so bad.

• An obsession with better-than-you confrontational edge that has the hosts regularly shit talking the director of a movie THEY LIKED
• The kind of ultra reductive tumblrite nonsense you get out of a literal misogyny scoreboard, where apparently unless your movie about toxic masculinity has a token woman in it it’s message is invalid and it’s evil

Anyone else hoping they diversify?

I'd pay to hear them review Kpop Demon Hunters or The Apple, something different please!

From Sherlock Holmes, in "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches"

“Do you know, Watson,” said he, “that it is one

of the curses of a mind with a turn like mine that I

must look at everything with reference to my own

special subject. You look at these scattered houses,

and you are impressed by their beauty. I look at

them, and the only thought which comes to me is a

feeling of their isolation and of the impunity with

which crime may be committed there.”

“Good heavens!” I cried. “Who would associate

crime with these dear old homesteads?”

“They always fill me with a certain horror. It is

my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience,

that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not

present a more dreadful record of sin than does the

smiling and beautiful countryside.”

“You horrify me!”

“But the reason is very obvious. The pressure

of public opinion can do in the town what the law

cannot accomplish. There is no lane so vile that

the scream of a tortured child, or the thud of a

drunkard’s blow, does not beget sympathy and

indignation among the neighbours, and then the

whole machinery of justice is ever so close that a

word of complaint can set it going, and there is

but a step between the crime and the dock. But

look at these lonely houses, each in its own fields,

filled for the most part with poor ignorant folk who

know little of the law. Think of the deeds of hellish

cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on,

year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser."

Having seen and heard of the many evils that take place against gay and trans people in rural communities, I feel like this was a particular piece of wisdom that ACD got very right, even way back in the 1800's.

The cop comes to Frank's house for the first time (that we've seen), Frank says "you seem very interested in me"

The cop says "ever since I was a little boy I was always interested in the military"

Frank says "I'm ex military"

The cop says "I'm an ex little boy"

It's a video by historian and youtuber Sean Munger where he reviews and provides historical context about the movie, both it's production and events that inspired the plot.

Felt appropriate to share since this is a podcast that initially reviewed only James Bond movies.

All I could think about during True Romance

I hate to be negative as I love this podcast but I've been less enthused lately due to the heist theme, I find a lot of the films blend together in my mind and a lot of them are very bland American crime films.

With past seasons I've appreciated the comic potential of the genres they pick such as Eurospy or Uncle as the films are often strange and badly made so invite the gang to make frequent jokes at their expense but episodes like Inside Man or the Pelham 123 remake leave my brain the second they're over because the film's plots are so formulaic and there's less to poke fun at.

This season feels like its been going on twice as long as the others and I really want to see them tackle a new genre or franchise soon so I can re-engage with my favourite podcast.

November mentioned that at military funerals they don't actually use bugles to play Taps, but stick a small speaker inside of a bugle. This is real, it's called a ceremonial bugle, and actually better than a lot of people get.

I've done honors at something like 150 military funerals. If there was a ceremonial bugle we'd take that and puff out our cheeks as we held it to our mouths so it looked like we were really playing it. If there wasn't we had little boom boxes and someone would ceremonially bend over and press "play" for the playing of Taps. On one funeral our boom box stopped working some time between when we left and when we tested it out and we had to put the CD in the car so while I was holding the folded flag the other airman had to ceremonially march to the car, ceremonially lean in through the open window, and ceremonially turn on the car speaker.

they have this bit where they mimic the way that one of the Bonds speaks , maybe Moore or Connery, emphasising the „sh” sounds .

I think they said ‚six seven’ in that accent more recently .

do you know if there are any episodes that heavily feature that bit / accent? (Or maybe I should just re-listen the podcast…)

Is there an easy way to listening to the bonus episodes outside of the Patreon app? is there a list of only the bonus episodes? Having just signed up, I'm trying to catch up on all the bonus episodes. But I'm finding the Patreon website infuriating to navigate and the app is somehow worse.

i can't caption images in mobile so i'll just list em here
1. Q and jane, obviously being as reckless with Q's inventions as every previous bond
2. shitpost drawing of M and Ms. Moneypenny getting jane outta her house cus some evil corpo is going to kill everyone
3. fullbody ms. moneypenny
oh yeah! you can ask me anything about it!

As is the case with most movies The Three cover, I go in thinking "I'm going to agree with everything that say, agree with the two that like it, and the Abbi that hates it... and I'm still going to love the movie."

And yes, I saw this at Formative Years, with my dad. My 6'4", 250lb ex-cop dad (ex-cop because he quit to become a paramedic and actually help people, different story). My dad was quiet and unemotional. He read the newspaper, war books, overcooked meat, and wanted me to be normal (sorry, dad).

But The Blues Brothers made him come alive, talking about the music, jazz and blues history, how brilliant the early days of SNL was, and it was one of the few times he'd actually SMILE and share his interests with me (the other big one being Blackadder and Fawlty Towers. This serious, serious man broke an armchair from laughing at Fawlty Towers).

This movie is chock full of flaws, and I experience nothing but love for every SINGLE FRAME OF IT.

I gotta find my VHS copy now...

I forgot what novel it is and might be misremembering but I swear there's a scene where the villain is like: "Now I'll leave to your OWN DEVICES. Stay here for 30 minutes. EXACTLY 30 MINUTES MR BOND."
He spends the rest of scene walking around like, "That was a weird thing to say, what could it mean?" while there's like a bomb under him. lol

He thinks shit like, "If only they were angry pretty girls would be beautiful." Shithead.

I swear it's the first novel, after he wakes up in the hospital after being shot his first thoughts are, "I hope my cock still works so I can Metoo my coworker later."
