Ba da, DA DA! If you know that sound, then you know what movie we are recasting this week. On this episode, we discuss all things Bond. We debate what makes a good Bond and whether or not Pierce Brosnan effectively carries the torch. GoldenEye has some ups and downs. It suffers from a really mediocre script. Had that been better, I think that more could have been done with Famke Janssen and Sean Bean's performances. Alan Cumming also does a lot with a little in his hacker nerd role.

They were all willing to throw everything into these roles, and they were given less than nothing to work with. I also think that's what dooms Pierce throughout his entire Bond experience. Give him just one decent script and let him work. GoldenEye was clearly the best story of the Brosnan Bond movies, but the dialogue was still awful. Thankfully we have the introduction of Dame Judy Dench as M for the first time, and the Daniel Craig Bond movies wisely continued to use her for the same role.

If you have a spare moment, we would really appreciate a rating on iTunes or whatever service you use to listen to podcasts, because it helps spread the word and refers more people to listen to the pod. And give us a Connery rating or a Roger Moore rating, but not a Timothy Dalton rating. If you are bored and want to talk about our Bond opinions, look us up on twitter @recastingpod, or if you want to send us private notes of praise, email us at [email protected]. You can also suggest movies you want us to recast in future episodes, or suggest random people we should try to get on the show.
