“You Only Live Twice” (1967) (James Bond)

I cover what was originally going to be Sir Sean Connery’s very last portrayal of James Bond. The plot is actually intense and interesting but some choices with the Japanese setting date it pretty horribly.

“Rocky” (1976) – 50th Anniversary

I decided to cover the one that started it all and really in retrospect delivers well enough on the final product that it’s not surprising it inspired such a huge collection of sequels and spin-offs.

The Story Behind the Podcast

The podcast started as written movie reviews and became an audio podcast in 2022. Over time, it evolved through different formats, including multi-movie episodes and video reviews.

I talk about the Rankin/Bass special that is significantly less special than the first 2 I already covered (“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town”) but it does have some redeeming qualities. I guess.
