007.2 - 'Diamonds Are Forever' & 'Licence to Kill'
Manage episode 383807941 series 3348404
You're in for a treat today! Matt and Frank are back to bring you a staple of November. No not turkey. No not massive sales on things you don't need. It's Bond season. And with that, both of them have selected two more James Bond entries to cover, as well as an in-depth conversation on the franchise as a whole.
Frank and Matt previously covered Thunderball, Tomorrow Never Dies and No Time to Die on their other podcast Give it Five. You can check out that martini-induced ramble here.
First up Matt brings us Diamonds Are Forever (1971) - Sean Connery's last official trip through the halls of MI6 as he confronts Blofeld yet again. Their battle takes them to Las Vegas, Nevada, the final destination of a diamond-smuggling chain where Blofeld unveils his more deadly evil plan to date.
Then we move to the Florida Keys for Frank's pick: Licence to Kill (1989), Timothy Dalton's second - and final - wear of the tux. This time Bond goes rogue. Back when it wasn't a cliche. He's on a warpath to avenge the injury to his best friend Felix Leiter. Come to think of it you'd think he'd go after the shark, no? His target: Franz Sanchez, drug kingpin and unofficial power of the fictional island country of Isthmus.
