“Sanchez - "Problem solver?"Bond - "More of a problem eliminator." - License to Kill.” Timothy Dalton took on the unenviable task of succeeding Roger Moore as James Bond in the mid-1980s. Moving away from the light-comedy of the Moore-years, Dalton’s take on the character returned Bond to his darker, literary roots nearly 20 years before Daniel Craig’s similar portrayal in Casino Royale (2006). Dalton’s Bond tenure is hotly debated. Was he the right Bond, wrong time? Did he have

“Your mission, should you choose to accept it…” In 1996, Paramount took a chance on Tom Cruise & his big screen version of the popular sixties TV show ‘Mission : Impossible’. A gamble that paid off handsomely to the tune of over $4B USD in global box office receipts. Are all of the movies (7 to date) impossibly good? No (we’re looking at you M:I2). Are some better better than others? Yes. Do they get better as the series progresses? A topic worthy of debate. So… Podcast hosts & M:I fans

“I know where you keep your gun. I suppose that’s something.” A blond Bond! An under 6 foot Bond! A Bond that wears a lifejacket! Daniel Craig’s announcement as the new James Bond in 2005 was not universally welcomed. However, after Casino Royale, he proved the doubters wrong and went on to star in 4 more hugely successful 007 movies, including the highest grossing Bond movie of all: 2012’s Skyfall. The first $1B+ Bond. But, it’s fair to say, the quality of the movies is variable. Casino Royale

And does its less well regarded third entry, Scream 3 (2000), deserve its lowly status? Podcast hosts Stephen & Paul Nicholson are fans of the franchise and watched
