Guys look up the meaning of the word. It does not pertain to ballet alone.

I sometimes think that marketing people are confined to a dark room and tossed garbage for dinner--they cannot come up with advertisements that excite potential paying customers. The result is that the trailer is more exciting than the entire movie--the trailer is all the good parts without the boring build-up. What is the movie about? Why do I want to be trapped in a dark auditorium with a bunch of strangers while spending 90 to 180 minutes plus travel time and waiting in line for $20 of overpriced concessions and a $20 movie ticket? Perhaps I'd rather stay at home to watch grass grow in real time. Change my mind with your advertising.

This famous 007 fan changed the James Bond franchise with his pet peeve back in the early days: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_Boothroyd This is an example of believable or totally fantastic spy gadgets. Geoffrey Boothroyd's pet peeve was with the novels and what Boothroyd regarded as inadequate for a fighting pistol--the .25 ACP from a miniature semiautomatic pistol is minimal. The US Army specified 58 foot-pounds energy at impact distance and factory ballistics charts give 62 to 66 foot-pounds muzzle energy. John Moses Browning designed the .25 ACP cartridge to do two things--duplicate the energy of the .22 Long rifle cartridge when the .22 was fired from a pocket revolver and be the smallest possible centerfire pistol cartridge so that the pistol firing it was the smallest possible size and least possible weight. In other words, provide six quick shots when you just couldn't have a real gun. Boothroyd recommended a .38 Special snub-nose revolver, but Ian Fleming preferred that his troubleshooter have a semiautomatic pistol. Author Ian Fleming had participated in irregular warfare during World War Two but wasn't a gun guy. Geoggrey Boothroyd was, and the use of a miniature Italian .25 pistol disrupted Boothroyd's willing suspension of disbelief. I have all 27 published Donald Hamilton "Matt Helm" novels and the first one I read in 1972 was "The Wrecking Crew." The novels were realistic. Dean Martin's four Matt Helm movies were heavily influenced by "Get Smart" and the more humorous Roger Moore 007. Spies became clowns during the late Sixties. Then there was the TV detective Matt Helm in the Seventies--it didn't last, and it wasn't Matt Helm. "The Bourne Identity" was a return to the more serious spy novels. A totally realistic spy movie is going to be boring--boredom is one motivation for becoming a spy. A balance between a clever trick and something impossible in the real world is delicate. For example, a trained person can walk into most American gas stations and using only the stuff in the gas station, destroy it. "The Terminator" wasn't a spy movie and the pipe bomb recipe was wrong (okay, why be a terrorist manual?) but homemade devices are not restricted to MacGyver. The differences between literature and motion picture is a second pet peeve for spy movie fans who were fans of the book first.

Fun part that's also a party-pooper: every single time 007 got into his spectacular shootouts, meant that he failed his mission. He's an undercover agent, not a storm trooper lol

If you don't mind, then James Bond doesn't matter--nor does it matter who plays James Bond. The original Bond novels were Cold War tales penned by a WW2 veteran of the undercover wars. There is a mostly lost British television series. When Dr No hit the big screen, the villain was a mere criminal with bunches of money who sought vengeance on the world by provoking a nuclear war. It's a formula followed even when fighting communists--the commies were actually traitors to Communism and criminals, usually working with SPECTRE. James Bond in the movies was not fighting the Cold War but a global conspiracy to take control from both East and West. So James Bond died. Perhaps the OO section has been closed for a decade, too-- MI-6 got away from using human intelligence and from sending out single assassins to right the world. Perhaps a British Commando or SAS soldier is ordered to report to a hotel room where he meets a senior member of the Prime Minister's cabinet and is given an assignment to find an assassin who is tasked to kill the next American president, upsetting the New World Order. Bond is given a number and told that there are others, but he's going to travel to America and stop the assassin. Bond will have only his wits and a line of credit--because modern travel restrictions prevent taking along money and weapons and spy gadgets. Q will be sorely missed, but there are a number of gadget shops that produce effective gadgets. Weapons have to be obtained from unofficial sources. Bond's lead is a political activist group tht Bond infiltrates by womanizing -- or perhaps by pretending to womanize in order to obtain the identity of the assassin. I'm a Matt Helm fan, but the Dean Martin Matt Helm is not Agent Eric of the novels, and the television detective Matt Helm is a third person. Or the Equalizer formula can be followed, or the Bourne Identity. Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible is NOT the IMF of the television series, is more like James Bond than most of the James Bond movies. The very British "Avengers" with John Steed and Emma Peel was campy and had a lot of scifi. Then there was Secret Agent (Patrick McGoohan), known as Danger Man in Britian. Perhaps "Have Gun Will Travel" set in modern times would work. Someone already killed the Man From UNCLE by making it a comedy. "Get Smart" was the most realistic spy series on television--Murphy's Law and blundering bureaucrats. So far the James Bond franchise has survived many a faux pas. The Hero's Journey, a lone knight slaying dragon, is a winning formula. It's all those annoying side quests and the modern preference for flashy but superficial action and zero character arc that kills franchises. James Bond cannot be a clown and he cannot be a Marty Stu.

Craig set the bar high 😊.

It may be a longer podcast than normal, but very interesting to listen to. Dr McWilliams explains the concepts simply and relates it well to Bond.

I was watching documentary on this question. One way you know a psychopath is callousness - enjoyment of cruelty. A professor said one indicator of this is Bond making witty remarks when he kills people, often smirking. Also, killing in cold blood -- even his first kill, doesnt bother him.

32 ACP is certainly more powerful than a 25 ACP but it still is a very weak cartridge. Not very much stopping power in mine and many others opinion.

Wow!!!! I am shocked that only two people have commented on this. Kudos to Leonard Johnson and the Ian Fleming Foundation for preserving this vehicle. I never gave it much thought as to its whereabouts until I was watching the scene, and then saw a link to this video. Oddly enough, in this umpteenth time I've seen the film, I did sort of wonder what was used for studio work. That is VERY impressive that the cab was shipped to Pinewood for closeups. It must have been a bit of a white elephant in the UK for so many years, so glad that preservationists located it and gave it the attention it deserves, if not just for the chase scene, but the vintage classic fire truck it is.

Love this, great work guys! 👍

007 would never use Tupperware Trash!!! 🤠👍

Point of clarification. The diameter of the .380 acp round is .355 inches. That converts to 9mm. The difference between a .380 acp and the 9x19 mm (commonly referred to as 9mm) is the length of the casing (with the length of casing for the .380 acp being 17 mm). So technically, the .380 ppk can and does fire a 9x17 mm round, just not the 9x19 mm round.

The PPK is around 100 years old. In maybe a .32 or .380 caliber. If JB wasts a serious handgun, he should be equipped with a Glock 19 or a Sig P365 with a high cap mag. Actually, a spare mag, too.

The Walther's cachet dates precisely to Berlin, April 1945. And the criterion for Bond pistols has always been looks, so never any plastics.

At 30 minutes, there's no way I'd finish the parkrun before this podcast... Is this a challenge from you both for me to get a move on? 🤣 Interesting to hear your views on the gadgets and whether they could exist. Thanks for the shout-out, and in the same sentence as George Lazenby's agent - life doesn’t get better!

Fuck Walther. Fuck a Nazi Hitler gun.

The gun is absolute garbage! It worth buying its bb version, or 22 LR at best. Do not waste $700-800 on this garbage.

Leo-sd3jt writes, "Silencers don't work by slowing down the bullet." Silencing a firearm to a level consistent with the tropes of film and fiction is a matter of systematics, not just an add-on gismo attached to a commercially available gun. Consequently, suppressed firearms used by special operations forces are typically designed from the ground up for that specific characteristic. The designer of such a weapon must address all the sources of firearm noise, not just one. First and most obvious is the noise associated with the propellant. From the earliest Medieval guns to the AR-15 and beyond, firearms work by confining the ignition of a propellant such that the resultant gases expand into a very small space, thus allowing those gases to produce a pressure sufficient to drive a projectile to a lethal speed. For example, the standard NATO 5.56x45mm cartridge contains a charge of propellant that when fired through a 16-inch rifle barrel develops a pressure often exceeding 400 Mpa (megapascals) which can drive a 4-gram projectile to a velocity approaching Mach 4. When these expanding gases escape the confining barrel there is a loud noise often called a "report". While these hot expanding gases have transferred much of their kinetic energy to the bullet they are still expanding at a supersonic speed, producing a shockwave the human ear detects as an "Earth-shattering ka-boom". Think of holiday fireworks. A sparkler is basically a small quantity of gunpowder glued to a steel wire, and a firecracker is a similar quantity of gunpowder confined in a paper tube. The firecracker goes ka-boom but the sparkler just hisses. The firecracker's expanding gases are confined inside the paper tube long enough to develop a substantial shockwave, whereas the sparkler's gases are allowed to expand without limit. One whose task is to develop a useful yet nearly silent firearm must find a way to divert the weapon's propellant gases into some sort of chamber where those gases can expand and cool without the ka-boom. However, success here is only a third of the complete problem. Lethal projectiles must deliver a certain minimum of momentum (p) to a human body according to the equation p = m × v. In practical terms, bullets are either lighter and faster or heavier and slower to produce the same muzzle energy. For example, the standard United States military sidearm issued during WWII fired a 15-gram .45-caliber bullet at a maximum velocity of 260 meters per second. Contrast that with a typical law enforcement officer's service pistol that fires an 8-gram 9mm bullet at a max. velocity of about 430 m/s. The speed of sound in dry air at 20 degrees Celsius is 343 m/s. Clearly, the heavy .45 (11.43mm) bullet travels more slowly than sound, whereas the lighter 9mm bullet is substantially faster, i.e. supersonic, and for that reason will produce its own "Earth-shattering ka-boom" regardless of how its driving propellant gasses are diverted and cooled. Consequently, limiting the projectile's speed to a subsonic maximum is the second design goal in a "silenced firearm" project. Finally, the mechanism of the firearm itself is a source of noise that must be held to a minimum if not entirely eliminated. Firearm mechanisms based on the manually actuated rotating bolt principle are inherently quiet compared to the various automatic and semi-automatic self-loading mechanisms. By controlling all three noise-producing aspects of firearms -- supersonic shockwaves produced by propellant gases and bullets in flight, and the mechanical noise of the weapon in operation -- the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) created one of the quietest firearms ever used in combat, the Delise Carbine -- a highly modified Enfield Number 1, Mark 3 rifle that fired .45-caliber ACP pistol ammo rather than the standard .303 cartridge.

Law enforcement different than an assassin

Another good podcast from Dan and Tom. This times creating the perfect spy movie. In doing so, they explain the DNA of the genre - as they ask at the start, what constitutes a spy movie, including dramatic and comedic versions. Like a cookery programme, we get a Menù served by the masters. Ingredients: 'Suave, highly skilled agent.' The base of a spy, unless it's a comedy (Tom) or ordinary person (Dan) Mission. Nationwide infiltration. Gadgets. They can be low or high tech. Villain(s). A threat to geography or the world. Secret organisation. You have a job for life, but don't know how long it's going to be. The femme fatale. Goodie or baddie? Leave the audience guessing. Allies. Can be from unexpected sources. Exotic locations. Dreamily transporting the viewing. Action. Car chases and stunts. Deception and betrayals. Technological wizardry. The macguffin. Intelligence/ Strategy. Moral ambiguity. Stylish presentation. Tension/suspense. How do these ingredients together? Listen to this entertaining and informative podcast. The Boys discuss all these ingredients referencing movies from Bond, Mission Impossible, Hitchcock and many others. Follow this recipe and a hit spy movie is in your grasp. The podcast also leans into the 'Bond family' by reminiscing with Joe Darlington and David Zaritsky. And Stephen Saltzman, too.

I disagree with The World Is Not Enough. I feel that that film is the worse in the entire series. The action scenes work backwards. For example, The Q-boat scene should have been at the end of the film. The para-hawks scene was so predictable I literally could not wait for the scene to end. The missile silo was a great scene but it loses all credibility with "nuclear expert" Dr. Christmas Jones barking complaints to the men who have other things on their minds. Also, the introduction of Bond to Dr. Jones is something that belongs in Austin Powers - "My name is Bond", elevator launches upward and stops quickly, "James Bond." A great way to kill a suspenseful scene. Lady "M" is now conducting business with oil barons and kidnappers in M-I6 which is basically a unit assigned to kill the enemies of Her Majesty's government. A kidnapping seems rather a waste of that department's funds. MI-5 would have been a more likely department. Renard is a good villain but his demise in close quarters onboard a submarine lacks any satisfying coup de grâce. Electra is the co-villain and played well by Sophie Marceau but I wanted a really good ending with Bond killing her. It seemed too fast and a real lackluster. Also, killing off Zukovsky was a big mistake. I wanted him to bring his men into the submarine lair for a thrilling battle scene. The Bond movies need to open up towards the end with the final minutes of a life threatening moment and a hideout worth displaying on the front cover of Forbes magazine. The submarine is too confined and just another scene to show off Dr. Jones in a wet t-shirt. Positive moments in TWINE: I like the song and music...that's it. As for SPECTRE, the movie is literally a shoe horn part in the Daniel Craig universe. I agree with your assessments of this film. Everything seems forced as we, and Bond, discover that SPECTRE has been behind everything Bond has investigated since he received his double-o status. As time progressed we have found that the director, producers and actor all were deciding who was going to be Blofeld in the end. Was it going to be Franz Oberhauser or perhaps Max Denbigh or "C". Or was it going to be "M" himself, Lieutenant Colonel Gareth Mallory, which Ralph Fiennes objected to when the idea came up. Oh the heck with it, let's make Christophe Waltz play Blofeld, that's why we hired him. The idea of Franz Oberhauser being perhaps #2 of the organization SPECTRE was always my understanding, and Blofeld would still be in the shadows to eventually be revealed in the next film. The foster brother garbage is what really killed the film completely for me. This is a continuing problem in films during the last 40 years that a villain is related to the protagonist. It is lazy writing and it does not do justice to Ian Fleming's original character of Ernst Stavro Blofeld. The Daniel Craig era is a group of 5 films which should have had better writers and Ian Fleming fans combined. There is no reason that Quantum of Solace should not have had a springboard story of jilted married lovers which Fleming wrote about and could have built upon as Bond discovers the nefarious plot. Skyfall has plot holes but overall I enjoyed this film and felt that Fleming could have written something like it. As for SPECTRE and No Time To Die. Wasted moments which we will never get back. Sadly, this might be the end of James Bond as we know him.

I watched many-a-sitcom in the sixties. Many varied settings, such as islands, farms, concentration camps, monster homes, navy bases, and small towns. Later, in the seventies and eighties, most were based on families and their live-in relatives or domestics. The variety disappeared. Hogan's Heroes was one of those creative settings of the sixties that made the show stand out from all others of its time and for ages to come. Your Hogan's Heroes review brought back many memories of a great family show. Thanks Guys.

This was so well done! Very appropriate as we make our spy movie.

Thanks guys.

They also always say that Hammelburg is near to Düsseldorf.

A common complaint I see when someone posts anything about Hogan's Hero's is "How can you make fun of being in a POW camp considering Germany's treatment of Jews and Russians in their concentration camps?". POW camps were NOT the same as concentration camps, but something that were a lot worse.The actors who played the four major German roles-Werner Klemperer (Klink), John Banner (Schultz), Leon Askin (General Burkhalter), and Howard Caine (Major Hochstetter)-were all Jewish. In fact, Klemperer, Banner, and Askin had all fled Nazi Germany shortly before World War II started. Caine, whose birth name was Cohen, was an American. Banner, who played Sgt Schultz was born in Austria had been held in a (pre-war) concentration camp and his family was killed during the war, and Clary, a French Jew who played LeBeau, spent three years in a concentration camp (with an identity tattoo from the camp on his arm, "A-5714"); his parents and other family members were killed there. I think most of the cast was well aware of who and what the Nazi's were.

NO Video's Of The Show ?? This Is A Waste Of Time Posting This

They addressed the lack of escape from Stalag 13 as being a way to keep inept Colonel Klink in charge of the camp.

I was stationed in Germany early 70s the town I was in was bad kissigen it was about 25 miles from hammelburg there was a pow camp there during the war the area was turned into a housing area and all traces were gone there was a book written on the camps rescue

One of my favorite shows!

Will soon by gay

In real llife, the view from the telescope on "The Mercedes Benz building" woud not have been able to see the view shown in the film (the Brandenburg Gate); the view shown would most likely have been shot from the top of the Victory Tower in the Tiergarten; I climbed it earlier in 2024 and can confirm the view. The bridge where the cofin is handed over is the Swinemunder Bridge which is right next to Gesundbrunnen Station. It's been rumoured that it was chosen as it was supposed to look like the Bridge of Spies on the outskirts of Potsdam, a few miles to the south-west of Berlin

The Bridge of Spies is on the outskirts of Potsdam, a good few miles outside of Berlin city centre. The bridge where the cofin is handed over from the East to the West is the Swinemunder Bridge next to Gesundbrunnen train station in Berlin, not the Bridge of Spies at Potsdam

I love this movie. 👍

Did you mention that in the scene where Bond shoots with the silencer, he doesn't shoot his Walther, but an FN!! I was told it had to do with the unavailability of a silencer for the PPK...

Well over 90% of intelligence information comes from open sources. During World War Two considerable Office of Strategic Services efforts were aimed at post cards, travel guides, commercial advertising and foreign newspapers in helping to plan for operations such as D-Day.

Diamonds are Forever is the worst Bond and worst Blofeld.

To anyone watching, none of this behavior was ever considered "normal". It is because it is shocking that it is featured in movies. It is meant to grab your attention.

It's good to see the gang together, Dan and Tom joined by Vicky. It's been a while, don't leave it so long next time.. Spectre was my worst Bond film until I rewatched Thunderball in a cinematic movie theatre earlier this year. I'm not too fussed about the step-brother idea. It is a rubbish idea and always will be. But the Craig era is in its own timeline. Future Bonds don't have to refer to any continuity here,. I did like the political nature of C, even though we knew C was a baddie thanks to the casting.

Another light hearted, enjoyable chat between Dan and Tom. This time on how Bond can return after his death in No Time To Die. Obviously everyone has a view and until EON produce the next movie, every view is valid. So get on board with 40 minutes of lively discussion. Bond WILL Return, we were promised, but how? For me, Craig exists in his own bubble. So just reboot the series. EON did a reboot with Craig, so why not for the next Bond?

Apparently it was Daniel Craig's idea to kill bond before he started his first bond film . He said to Barbara Broccoli he would play the part as long as he was killed in the last film . Stupid idea though.

Great. Podcast really enjoyed that my favorite bond is Sean. Conray, the first bond film I seen was doctor NO thanks for sharing guys 👍

Great podcast. And I like diamonds 💎 are forever great bond film and I like the sense that they Shot from Las Vegas to Great senses 👍

Was hoping you'd show pics, like your other videos

Im in my late 50s, and sir roger was my favorite Bond. Please do more on these .thanks...great show

Personally I think with public domain issues, they won't be making anymore for this franchise, and they're stalling. Till we forget. Yes I know Amazon has tights, but it will be "young bong", a TV show, or something else. As you mentioned yes fleming kills him in FRWL, but it's left as a cliff hanger. In this they go to great lengths to show bond was also blown up. As a big bond fan, I think it's best that don't make one for a while. There's not really a good way to come back from it. And as you mentioned with Star Wars, maybe it's better they don't. Fans will want an explanation, and be let down by whatever they get. And the "Bond is a code name" excuse is shit. That unfermomises bond more. They put themselves back where they did bronsnan, they will need a big release to make it more than a has been series. They have no Fleming plots left (theoretically), and the chance the next one will top the breakthrough of casino all low. And I don't think a "funny light bond" will work this time. Craig changed the series for better and worse. The best thing they can do is give it time. I mean at least another 3-5 years, and will rely on the interest of younger generation to make him relevant. Alas, the video game GoldenEye probably did more the millennial bond fans than the movies did. Bond may be cleaned out, and they killed Felix so I'm unsure how he can buy back in this time.

I cant see any images or videos

Amazing series. There are more spys in Mr. Saltzman's life :-)

Well, nice video regarding the positivity, but… more or less everything said by the “expert” is wrong! And I’m far from an expert. I’ll start softly (with additions rather than corrections): 1. Yes a .25 has a slightly larger diameter than a .22 lr, but the latter is actually longer and most often more powerfull. So if anything the .25 is inferior to the .22 lr. 2. Saying than .32 acp has a longer casing than the .32 is quite nonsensical. What is a “.32”? There are .32 acp and .32 s&w and some other .32 versions, but - you can’t just say .32 and saying that it is different than the .32 acp! Well you can, but when someone says .32, it is normally referring to the .32 acp. 3. “What is the difference between mm and caliber?” That is like asking “what is the differens between distance and miles”. You don't measure distance in “distance”, you measure it in miles (or km in the civilised world or even better - in mil! (10 km)). Caliber is not a unit, it is just a way of saying diameter, and it can be measured in millimeters or in Inches. If we choose millimeters, we shorten it mm (Europe and Asia). If we choose to use inches (US and in very old England), we don’t typically use fractions but decimals, so .25 cal is 0.25” and .32 cal is a 0.32” diameter projectile or case (it varies). Sometimes the length of the casing is added, like caliber 9x19 mm, or some shorts or a word to separate versions, like acp or S&W or Magnum… 4. “Felix holding a PP but Bond is having a PPK”. Well actually the gun that James bond is receiving in the office from major Bothroyd earlier in the film dr No is SAID to be a PPK, but the gun he is handed is actually a Walther PP! 😮 The film team couldn’t find a PPK, so. The used a PP instead. Also the Beretta that is taken from him is not actually a Beretta 418 (or a 950 - which is an alternative possibility, since Fleming newer said Beretta 418 in the novels. He just said it was a Beretta in .25, and the 950 was presented when Fleming wrote dr No at his Golden Eye home in the Bahamas) but a Beretta 1934! It is similar looking to the 418, but quite a bit bigger. So in short - both Felix and James are holding their PPs in the dr. No film (no joke intended). It might even be the very same gun. 5. “The biggest bang is coming from breaking the sound barrier when the bullet comes out… slowing down the bullet…”. NO!!! The task of the silencer is NOT to slow down the bullet. It is to dampen the sound created from the gasses pushing the bullet and escaping when the bullet is free. To avoid a sonic bang, you should always use sub sonic rounds together with silencers (most often called suppressors nowadays), and actually, due to the counter pressure from the silencer, most sub sonic rounds cycle fine with a suppressor, but sometimes not without. The silencer/suppressor works with baffels that blocks expandning gas following the bullet, causing them (rather than the bullet) to slow down. It looks slightly similar to the muffler of a cars exhaust system, but the conditions are quite different. The main working principle of a muffler is to create a well damped helmholtz resonator that creates a LP-filter. Well actually often a series if them. In a silencer of a gun, the main working principle i to generate extreme turbulent losses from the baffles. So flow resistance rather than mass inertia (as in a muffler) slows the gasses. 6. “In 1986 the import laws changed”. NO!!! The change came in 1968, not in 1986. 7. “The reason was the barrel and the frame was not long enough”. NO!!! Neither was the problem! The problem with the PPK was the weight, only. This issue was handled by adding height (not length) to the frame (basically using a frame the same height as the PP). The barrel length of the PPK and the PPK/S are the same. Also, and for the same weight reason - the PPK/S was only made with a steele frame, whereas the PPK was made in a light weight version (PPK-L) with an aluminium frame. The L-version was only available in .22 and .32 acp (a.k.a. 7,65 mm Browning). 8. “Classic guy, you know ‘shaken not stirred’… …the Glocks are made a lot of plastic…”. NO, the classic recipe says the drink should stirred. Flemings idea to make Bond command the drink to be shaken, was to illustrate him to be a brute, a non-refined person. Also the film typically sees Bond order and drink dry martini (typically gin+vermouth) or vodka martini (vodka+vermouth), but the “original signature Bond drink” was actually Vesper Martini! That’s gin+vodka+kina lillet! 9. About Glock: “You can put 15 rounds in there because they use a stackable… so it’s a much thicker handle so the bullets are stacked in there…”. Well… Bullets are stacked in basically ALL pistol magasines (non revolvers), the stack is how the bullets are placed! In many Glocks (but not all of them) they use a DOUBLE stacked magasine, so they have two stackes side by side (or rather zig-zagged). And there are MANY double stacked guns with a classic design with double stacked magasines. Like the Beretta 92 (17 rounds 9x19), the small agent style gun Beretta 84BB (13 rounds of .380 acp (a.k.a. 9 mm short)… But you present quite a few good questions. Only the answers were a disappointment. An “expert” should not be wrong about almost everything!
