Episode 39 - GoldenEye (with Richard)

<p>We're in Bond withdrawal facing the perpetual delay of Daniel Craig's swan song in No Time To Die so Ian dug out a calendar and figured it had been 25 years since GoldenEye hit our movie screens. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, & Georgia – and our very special guest (and Bond connoisseur), Richard -  as we head to the Soviet Union, The UK, France, Florida, and Cuba all while trying to stay onatop of things. Our 39th episode is shaken, not stirred as we discuss:</p> <ul><li>The original idea for this film and how very different a film this could have been</li> <li>Those who auditioned to be Timothy Dalton's successor and someone who actually turned the role down</li> <li>We discuss if Bond is an outdated character for 1995, let alone 2020</li> <li>Liam tells us all about Sean Bean in Sharpe and expresses a word or two of admiration for Famke Janssen</li> <li>Richard casts a deciding vote in whether a certain pun is funny</li> <li>We praise the theme song and bury the score</li> <li>We talk about our Favourite Bonds and where Brosnan stacks up</li> <li>You'll never guess why they gave Alec Trevalyan his surname</li> <li>The request the American military gave 007 and the compromise they made.</li> <li>Whether or not GoldenEye is the Best Film Ever.</li> </ul>
