Ben Waterworth & Noah Groves — Fri, 16 Aug 2024 06:00:00 +1000

Why are we so pumped to be talking about this film again, even though we have done more episodes than most people have had chicken dinners? Why can we just glow about Billy Magnussen for three hours? What on earth is a Diane carrot? How does Noah know about Ben’s candle habits? How does this movie just keep getting better and better each time we watch it? Have we changed our viewpoint on the controversial aspects of it? Will we ever get to commentate on another Bond film? And how does this movie always just go so quickly despite it being so long?

Just why is this a Ben episode to do a Ben thing? Are we excited to be back with the dongs? How are we so pervy in this episode of bottoms and men? Are we excited to talk about a nice bouffant hairstyle? Has Noah come around on fancy British men in eight years? Do we miss Colin in this episode or once again are we not caring? How beautiful does this film look through the various conversions over the years? Why do we want to just talk about Quarrel the whole episode? And why are we doing this episode and not some of the others we have meant to have done recently? Get yourself listened in and back to the past for the future for another fun ride!

Episode #148 - The Most Beautiful Man Alive - Pierce Brosnan Birthday Spectacular

Ben Waterworth — Fri, 24 May 2024 06:00:00 +1000

Last week we celebrated the most beautiful man alive with his 71st birthday. That’s right, Pierce Brosnan got a year older but another year more beautiful. So what better way to celebrate him and that occasion than with a special episode dedicated to the man himself at a very special event in Sydney! To celebrate him, a special double screening of two of his Bond films was held, with both Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies screening to a dedicated group of fans in the Harbour City. Of course this meant Ben went along to check out the films to subtly brag to Colin & Noah that he has seen them on the big screen, but also speak to the fans in attendance, as well as James Bond Downunder founder Jimmy Roberts and the director of The Other Fellow Matt Bauer, to learn just why they all love Pierce Brosnan and why he is the GOAT. And the most beautiful man alive. That too. Because we know it’s true! So sit back, relax and listen to another epic episode where we get to glow all things Pierce in the best possible way!

How is this the most spread out list we’ve ever done? Does Ben’s criteria make any sense for his rankings? Why is Noah defending some titles we never thought he would? What does Steven Seagal have to do with anything? Who are Suckmoore and Cockpuncher? Are we weirdly addicted to kid’s reviews of James Bond movies now? What is a Stuncle?

Should people with two first names be trusted? Is a movie that looks dated a good or a bad thing on this podcast? What questions would we ask Lee Tamahori? Why aren’t we ranking Danny Boyle?

What does Russia have to do with this episode? Why is there so much poo talk and why is it funny? What do nuns have to do with anything and why are so interested in milking them?

On an iconic day in movie history, we’re back with ANOTHER episode dedicated to THAT film that (Ben) we can’t stop talking about, Die Another Day! And on the 21st anniversary of the movie, Ben is back and has forced Noah to do ANOTHER commentary on the movie that we seemingly just can’t stop talking about! Why is Noah under pressure to do this just because he is in the same house as Ben? Can Noah last the whole movie this time? Why is he saying some nice things about the movie? Why does he force Ben to drink in this episode, or is it the other way around? Is this some new weird tradition of having all our hosts together in rooms to do episodes on Die Another Day? How is the movie holding up now that it is legal in America? And why on earth are we making you sit through ANOTHER episode on this movie?

You’ve dealt with us commentating over some pretty bad non-official Bond films so why not another one? Because we’re back for our commentary of the grand daddy of all the non-official Bond films, the 1983 movie that saw Sean Connery return to the role and create a battle we didn’t know we needed, Never Say Never Again. Are we going to pay attention to this film this time? Are we going to be more complimentary than our last commentary? Did we realise that last line actually rhymed? Why are we so happy to wish Noah a happy birthday two months late? Do we remember the death by piss? Is this movie the movie that aged Sean Connery? Why is Colin so ready to commit assault in this movie? What promise has Ben broken to Noah? And what other movies do we want to watch instead of this?

Ben Waterworth & Colin Hilding — Fri, 05 May 2023 07:00:00 +1000

After once again promising we’d get to our next movie recap featuring a Bond actor in another role ages ago, we are FINALLY back to continue our series as we move back into George Lazenby territory and looking at his first film post Bond in the…uh…interesting movie that is Universal Soldier from 1971. Do we get anything that is happening in this movie? Is this movie basically a biopic of George Lazenby in the 70s? Why do we think George Lazenby looks hot with this long hair and moustache? Are we glad there is a hovercraft in this film and are we getting close to bingo? How excited are we to discover the Joe Palooka franchise and when will we be covering it? Does this movie have any sense of a plot at all? Do we want to smoke some wacky tobacky to maybe understand this? And what do we think about fingers up the butt? It’s a wild ride that might be an interesting one that you will never forget, so get to listening and get yourself ready for a strange one!

Well somehow miracles keep happening and Ben keeps reading books as we return once again for our latest instalment of BEN READS THE FLEMING NOVELS as Ben gets into the next 3 Bond books of Goldfinger, Thunderball and The Spy Who Loved Me. Do we expect Ben to love all these novels because they are the ones that aren’t really loved? Are we most afraid to hear Ben’s opinions on The Spy Who Loved Me? Why are these books so hard to read when the movies themselves are very iconic? Why are scripts being made about Shrek and Roger Moore? Why are there so many lesbians under the sea? Is this episode sponsored by Audible? And what does Black Hole Sun have to do with anything? Listen and entertain yourself once more on another epic episode of your favourite James Bond podcast!

It’s been about 5034 episodes in a row where we have promised the next episode would be our recap on Entrapment but FINALLY we are here to kick off our next round of the main Bond actors in other movies as we review Sean Connery flirting a lot with Catherine Zeta-Jones in the 1999 blockbuster! Does this movie hold up or is it a bit dated? Is it fairly criticised as being ‘creepy’ with the older man/younger woman cliché of the late 90s or is it really not much of a bad thing? Why is Connery the most Scottish he has ever sounded in this film? Why isn’t Colin that into Catherine Zeta-Jones? Does this movie peak too early? Why does half of this movie not make sense? Why was Connery kicking Pierce Brosnan out of Scotland for this movie? Is this movie actually called Blackmail? Can we appreciate leather outfits more in this movie? How often is Catherine Zeta-Jones naked in this movie? What type of haircuts do we all want watching this film? And why is Malaysia a great location? There’s lots to get through and lots to talk about so that means there’s lots to listen to and you can do that right now!

We find out from Matthew just how on earth he came up with such an amazing and unique idea and what it was like making the film.

Episode #104 - Wild Wilde Cockburn - Cowboys & Aliens

Ben Waterworth & Colin Hilding — Fri, 22 Oct 2021 09:00:00 +1100

It’s time to take a brief break from bringing you coverage of No Time To Die as we…well…still need somebody to see the damn movie, so with that in mind we’re here to conclude the first round of films starring the actors who have played James Bond by looking at the Daniel Craig movie that we should be more excited about, Cowboys & Aliens from 2011. Why is this movie the cause of such debate? Do we love and appreciate Daniel Craig’s performance even if we can’t agree on the movie? Is there an actual plot to this film? Why aren’t we that wild for Olivia Wilde? Does Harrison Ford actually want to be in this film? How great are the other cast members? What characters from Toy Story could we see all the James Bond actors playing? Should there be more aliens in this film? What controversial thing will we debate this week? And why is Colin such an angry man all of a sudden? It’s here in one epic episode that you once again won’t want to miss, so get to it and get excited!

Episode #103 - Having a Civilized Conversation Without Ben - No Time to Die (Spoiler Free) Review

Ben Waterworth, Colin Hilding & Noah Groves — Sat, 09 Oct 2021 04:30:38 +1100

It's been a long 2 years of delays, and an even longer wait since the last 007 film, but the day is finally here where we can talk about No Time to Die in this spoiler free review. Is this a Bond film that feels worth the never ending waiting game we've been through? What do we think of Daniel Craig's 5th performance as 007? Does Rami Malek belong in the company of other great Bond villains? What about all the new characters and returning MI6 favourites? Is the running time a problem? And does the theme song improve with a proper credit sequence, or does it need more sunshine lollipops and rainbows? There's no time to die, no time for spoilers, no time for Ben, and thankfully no more time to wait on our latest review of Bond 25.

Episode #92 - Famous Canadian Actor Jack Smiggins - The November Man

Ben Waterworth & Colin Hilding — Mon, 28 Jun 2021 02:00:00 +1000

Well after apparently taking our last Bond actor filmography episode a little too far with a total of three episodes on it, we’re back to finally move on to the next James Bond actor and a film from their career that isn’t a James Bond movie. Although, perhaps we didn’t really choose one that was TOO different as we take a closer look at the Pierce Brosnan movie that is The November Man from 2014. Do we appreciate our beloved Pierce in this movie even though he sort of still is being James Bond? Why does it look like Pierce just really wants to fart throughout this film? Who is the other guy in this movie and is he as famous as that famous Canadian actor Jack Smiggins? Who is Jack Smiggins? Why do we love Jack Smiggins? Does Pierce love Jack Smiggins? Is Jack Smiggins on Facebook? Twitter? Instagram? Could we interview Jack Smiggins? Is Jack Smiggins sexier than Pierce Brosnan? Would Noah like Jack Smiggins? And seriously, how amazing is that incredibly famous actor from Canada Jack Smiggins? Apparently we got side-tracked and didn’t really tell you much about this episode and what we talk about, but believe us when we say you should listen to it because you’ll enjoy it! You know Jack Smiggins would so be like Jack Smiggins!

Ben Waterworth & Noah Groves — Sat, 26 Jun 2021 02:00:00 +1000

After a couple of epic interviews we’re back for another commentary as we somehow have to sit through the film that is Moonraker to attempt to talk some sense into what is one odd Bond movie. Why is Colin not being on this episode a first? How is his presence still felt with him not actually being here? Can Noah express his love for this film without being too stupid? Or is he just drunk again? Why do we seemingly point out something in this film that isn’t actually a ‘gay thing’? Are we transfixed by Roger Moore and his bad fashion or can we excuse it? Should this movie be redubbed with 80s music? Why do we seemingly just love all the facial expressions more so than so much more of this movie? And seriously, how can Colin be on this episode when he isn’t on this episode? This episode apparently is as messed up as the movie itself, so get to clicking and get to listening!

Can we find anything good to say about this film? Who wants to see any of the hosts OnlyFans account? Can we stay on topic for once in a commentary? Why are desk clerks just so funny? Why are we so fascinated by the drapes matching the curtains? Why is Daniel Craig so hot in this film, particularly in a certain outfit? Is everyone just so bored in this movie that we just don’t care? Why is Greene so ugly? Is the text and font too annoying for us to stay focussed? And why do we seriously just want to skip through this commentary and do something else?

Colin Hilding — Thu, 15 Apr 2021 02:48:09 +1000

We wrap up our trilogy of Die Another Day episodes by bringing back our favourite non fiction Bond writer, the one and only Nicolas Suszczyk. One of several new books Nicolas has written since he was last on the show is Beyond the Ice: The Case for and Against Die Another Day. Why do people need to consider the state of the world and the state of movies in 2002 in order to fully appreciate Die Another Day? What aspects of the story work and what doesn't? Why are some of the outlandish technologies that have been mocked over the years no longer as unrealistic? Why did other spy TV shows and movies from the same time period not get mocked for using the same outlandish gadgets? And why do you need to read Beyond the Ice whether you're a fan or hater of Die Another Day? Whether you're cleverer than you look or look cleverer than you are, I'm sure you will get the "thrust" of our final episode in our Die Another Day trilogy.

It’s time to start a special ‘trilogy’ of episodes on a movie that only we (or let’s be honest, Ben) would do a trilogy on, DIE ANOTHER DAY! Yes, that’s right, somehow we have managed to get together three consecutive episodes related to the movie that at least one third of our hosts defends (too much). The best news is that all three episodes are interviews, and we’re kicking things off today by speaking with a man who seemingly enjoys the movie as much as Ben does, Max Baire, who is the creator of the Instagram page ‘Die Another Day Memes’. On this page, Max posts some pretty hilarious memes about the 20th Bond movie, and is getting himself a bit of a following in doing so. In this interview we find out just why he decided to start this page, his creative process in coming up with the memes, whether or not he actually likes the movie and of course the big burning question about whether or not he likes Madonna and the song. It’s an episode that you’ll have to listen to because, well, you do! So get to listening!

Episode #76 - A Schmashing Tribute To Connery, Sean Connery

Ben Waterworth & Colin Hilding — Sun, 01 Nov 2020 15:17:40 +1100

Well we come to that sad moment again where we have to pay tribute to an actor who played James Bond, and although the good news is we didn’t kill this one, the bad news is that it is perhaps the most iconic man to ever don the tuxedo in the legendary Sir Sean Connery. Ben & Colin go over their memories of Sean in the role and talk about just how iconic he was for not only the franchise, but for cinema in general. We also learn about the various tributes already flowing for him, find out why Noah isn’t with us to pay tribute to him and go over the variety of rankings we have previously done when it comes to his Bond films. It’s one schmashing episode to pay tribute to one schmashing man.

It’s time to get you back into commentaries once more as we chat over the movie that we always seem to love and rank highly in any of our rankings, The Spy Who Loved Me. Just how incredible is this film? Why does this movie seemingly never get any hate and why is that a good thing? Why is Ben still feeling bad for ever bagging out Roger Moore? What moments of pure camp somehow work in this very serious movie? Does this movie hold up incredibly well despite it being nearly 50 years old?

Episode #73 - But It's Legal In China - The Man From Hong Kong

Ben Waterworth, Colin Hilding & Noah Groves — Sun, 14 Jun 2020 02:00:00 +1000

Well, our first recap from an actor who played Bond turned out to be pretty crappy so why not give it another crack? This time around we're moving into the legend that is George Lazenby as we recap a movie of his that isn't a James Bond movie by looking closely over the 1975 movie that is The Man From Hong Kong. Is this movie just one elongated fight sequence? How is George Lazenby the best actor in this entire movie? Should Lazenby play villains more often? Do we like Jimmy Wang Yu and where does Colin know him from? Why does every Australian in the movie have to be overly Australian? Why are the sound effects average but the cinematography so good? How badly racist is this film and why does it not hold up today? And do we get sad watching this movie thinking what could've been had Lazenby stuck around as Bond a little bit longer? It's enough to get you into a car chase and destroying some tables, so get to listening! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Episode #72 - Hey! Remember This Movie? - Tomorrow Never Dies Commentary

Ben Waterworth, Colin Hilding & Noah Groves — Sun, 31 May 2020 02:00:00 +1000

We took a break from our commentaries to bring you a recap of a film starring a Bond actor, and now that we regret that more than life itself, it's time to get back into what we do best in try and stay on topic while talking over a Bond movie! Today we do that again with our final Pierce Brosnan commentary (*sniff* calm down Ben) as we find out about Jon Tenney and his dream once more with our commentary of Tomorrow Never Dies. Why does this movie need more love? Who once was Canadian who apparently isn't Canadian anymore? Why is Pierce Brosnan just so damn beautiful? Is Teri Hatcher underrated as a Bond girl? Was Ben an idiot for ranking the title song of this movie so high? Why do we need to even mention Zardoz again this time around? And how long can the boys stay on topic throughout this commentary?

Episode #71 - Boorman's Not-So-Magical Acid Trip - Zardoz

Ben Waterworth, Colin Hilding & Noah Groves — Sun, 17 May 2020 02:00:00 +1000

It's been a while since we did a full movie recap, so what better way than getting back into recaps with a closer look at a film from each of the six Bond actors! Our first recap? Zardoz. Yup. That film where Sean Connery runs around in a nappy for 2 hours and wears a wedding dress and talks about the evil penis while surrounded by boobs. Sounds like a fun time right? What about watching a scene of Sean Connery watching porn while other people watch him try to get an erection? Or seeing Sean Connery get angry at a book and throwing it at the camera? Or Sean Connery floating around in a giant head? Or Sean Connery being a horse and pulling a cart? Or anyone actually trying to make sense of what on earth this movie even is? If you manage to make sense of us let us know. Because as you'll hear in this episode, we have no clue what is happening. Enjoy people. You won't forget it.

Ben Waterworth, Colin Hilding & Noah Groves — Sun, 03 May 2020 02:00:00 +1000

It's been a long time since we've done a commentary so what better way than to get back into them by spending the next 392 hours talking about people swimming underwater with our commentary of Thunderball! Do we miss having Noah on these episodes given we had him back for 5 minutes? Why are we so weirdly attracted to Sean Connery in this movie more so than usual? What does Britney Spears have to do with anything in this film? Does Jamie really sound like somebody from Wyoming who also just happens to be very appealing to sharks? Can Colin sway Ben on liking this film, or will Ben sway Colin on not liking this film? Why is Tom Jones still so awesome? Why does Vargas still suck so much? Can we stay on topic longer than usual given how many long scenes are in this movie? And can we avoid talking about Fran Drescher for once?

As we continue to mourn the fact we have to wait even long for No Time To Die, it's time to once again come together and do some rankings and see just what Ben will do to make Colin and Noah angry as we rank the henchmen from worst to best! Why are we conflicted of our opinion of coronavirus given that it is allowing us to have Noah join us but preventing us from seeing a new Bond movie? Why did this episode take us more than 12 hours to basically do...sorta. Why isn't Davidov on this list and how many times will we mention him? Why are all three hosts agreeing so much at the beginning? Why is Colin the one defending Die Another Day for once? Have the hosts all turned into millennials? Who being immortal apparently makes them better? Are we looking forward to seeing My Spy? Why does Colin find these write ups stupid and what is the deal with Rosie Carver? Why is Noah trying to be funny and failing again? Why does Colin smell? Why is Ben amazing at remembering and still the funniest person on this episode and the best looking? What's the deal with Zao? Why is Noah a fucknuckle? What strategy should be played in this rankings? Why is Colin sizeist? Why is Noah sexist? Why is Ben so respected with his arguments? Why can't Colin keep track of our format? Why is Ben a fast typer? What's the deal with singing nursery rhymes? And why can't ever eat bananas again?

How on earth did we manage to get Noah back? Is he going to get us all sick with coronavirus? How much will Ben be hated during this episode? Why are we glad not to hear about Rosie Carver? Which controversial opinions will be brought up early and ones saved up for later? How long will the Tiffany Case debate go? How long will the Jinx debate go? Is Noah being back a good thing? Which secondary Bond girls will we wish we could rank because they're better than the main girls? Do we like the fact that we're getting reviews now, even if they are weird and tell us we're living in a different world?

As we get closer and closer to the release of No Time To Die we are excited to bring you another episode in the lead up to it by giving you our take on the official title song by the always mumbling Billie Eilish. Just why is this song already so divisive to our hosts? Can we actually understand any of the lyrics as Billie mumbles her way through it? Is it better than what Sam Smith put out for Spectre? Why is Colin so down on more modern songs? Why is Ben so up on so called bad songs? Will the title sequence improve it? Should there have been another singer chosen? Is this 'keeping up with the times' once more? And why are we only learning about Ben having his identity stolen now and who the hell wants to still HIS identity??

Is Rami Malek Dr No and would we be okay with that? Is Daniel Craig looking old? Will Madeleine Swan die? Will Felix die? How incredible do the stunts look? Do we have any thoughts on who will be singing the title song and why do we hope it could be Ed Sheeran? Do we have a new 'duh face' moment that we can look forward to when the movie comes out?

Does Felix Leiter really work for James Bond or is that just offensive? What is the deal with Gordo Leiter's mullet? Why do all the characters look different from the movies? Why was Ben caught out watching Pinky & The Brain as a kid? Does anything work in this show from a continuity point of view from all the James Bond series in general?

We also have questions as usual, like why does Ben still have to defend Die Another Day in this episode? Why does Colin have to pretend Mary Goodnight is a good thing? And can Nick Nack be placed in any other Bond film and play multiple roles?
