Never Say Never Again (Part 2) - Bonus Episode
Sean Connery is James Bond. After years of legal battles, Kevin McClory finally released his own James Bond film with a remake of Thunderball, Never Say Never Again. When Spectre steals two nuclear warheads, Bond is travels all over the world to the Bahamas, France and North Africa to track them down. The film starred Sean Connery, returning to the role after 12 years with The Empire Strikes Back director Irvin Kershner taking the helm. As it starred the original James Bond and came out the same year as Octopussy, it resulted in the Battle of the Bonds. Never Say Never Again ultimately lost but was still a success, grossing $160 million at the box office. With it not being part of the main series, it's become a bit of an oddity but does it deserve to be remembered, or were Tom & Joe right to skip this one in the initial rewatch? Hosted on Acast.

Skyfall (Part 3) - Episode 23
Regret is unprofessional. It's time for Tom & Joe to check out the most successful Bond film of all time, Skyfall. After Bond is assumed dead during a mission, MI6 is attacked causing him to come out of retirement to stop former agent Raoul Silva, who wants revenge against M. Sam Mendes directs the film to give us a more stylish take on Bond which also adds in classic Bond elements not yet featured in the Craig era. The balance of old and new paid off with Skyfall receiving critical acclaim and a box office gross of over $1.1 billion. As it's over 10 years old now, does it still hold up or will Tom & Joe find it all rather quaint? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
