Pierce Brosnan As Bond - If a Giant Wave Falls in the Woods.. - Bond Character Study p.5 - Ep 305

Mike, Mike, and Oscar

We grew up with Pierce Brosnan as 007, we played the N64 Goldeneye game, and we shamelessly love the Madonna theme song for Die Another Day. So of course, we picked the first & last of Brosnan’s Bond series to review in The James Bond Character Study part 5. PIERCE BROSNAN’S JAMES BOND CHARACTER STUDY: NONSPOILER SECTION Getting Into Character - 3:15 (Brosnan - Our Generation’s 007) His Performance As Bond Overall - 10:27 (Why He’s The Bond Who Changed Multiple Industries Directly) SPOILER WARNING - 18:45 SPOILER-FILLED SECTION The Spy Who’s Not Me - 19:14 (Why We Want To, But Never Could Be, This James Bond) Live and Let Dad Joke - 25:04 (This Bond’s Best [Worst?] One Liners) Dr. Please God No - 31:37 (Problematic Interactions w/ Women Through 2020 Eyes) Always Say Never Again - 37:28 (Moral Issues Through 2020 Eyes) Q Only Lives Once - 42:03 (The Cars, Gadgets, and Tech of Moore Bond) They’re Why Tomorrow Never Dies - 49:50 (The Struggles of These Bond Baddies) Goldfingers - 55:10 (We Fix The Bond Baddies) License To Bill - 1:00:33 (Totaling Up Bond’s Civic Damage) Your Homework/PLEASE LEAVE US 5*’S - 1:07:17 What’s Next From MMO/Words of Wisdom - 1:08:20 As always, we tackle these James Bond movies with a non-spoiler section first. Here, we discuss how Pierce Brosnan donned the tuxedo in Getting Into Character before diving into his overall performance as 007 in Historical Significance. Then you get a spoiler warning before the puns fly. The Spy Who’s Not Me is where we chat about the fantasy elements of Bond movies, including the huge persona, the settings, and his life as a super spy. In Live and Let Dad (Joke), we recap all of the corny one liners, where one film displays some wit & the other, well, they talk about man junk… a lot. Then we discuss some of the worst scenes in Dr. Please Oh God No & Always Say Never Again, where we criticize Bond’s treatment of women. But we get back to some positives in Q Only Lives Once as we celebrate all of the cars & gadgets. Then in two segments, we enjoy the terrible goodness of the Bond villains in There’s A Reason Tomorrow Never Dies & Goldfingers before we dive into all of the damage 007 creates, even tallying it up in the Millions & Billions of dollars in License To Bill. Don’t forget to check out our previous 4 installments in The James Bond Character Study as we devoted episodes to each of the other 007 actors of Connery, Lazenby, Moore, & Dalton.
