Skyfall - Every James Bond Movie Reviewed & Ranked

[@vinnybastos]

A lot of nickpicking of the Aston Martin. He won the car in the first one and put tech in it for his personal use before the third. It's James Bond. He has gadgets. Don't overthink it

[@pgs9407]

Tim they didn't give you enough props for tying a tie solo. That felt like a big moment in my life too and should be celebrated with more congratulations.

Nick, I love you man... but holy crap are you REALLY hung up on that car!!! LOL This whole thing, to me, was the continuation of Bond transforming into the agent that we have known all our lives.

[@GreenTornadoe]

1:36:13 Nick sending Tim a discord message reminding him to read out their sponsor cracked me up, don't know why.

[@sebastianmundell1655]

No one mentions that the the DB5 in Casino Royale was left hand drive and now in skyfall it's a right hand drive . That should bother you more than the gadgets! XD

[@whoarewe3557]

I thought Kevin's mic was gonna be messed up the whole thing it was bothering me so much 😂😂😭😭

[@Rockerfella360]

The reason why this film was so big at the time and why it feels like a step back like Nick says is because when this was released it was the 50 year anniversary of James Bond and was heavily advertised this way (at least in the UK). That's also why there's so many throw backs and references to the older films, playing homage to the gadgets and what not. This film was supposed to be a celebration of the entire James Bond lineage. My parents NEVER go to the cinema and even they went to see this movie. You need to watch it with this context in mind to properly understand what they were trying to do. I love this movie.

[@Sam-jv6fb]

The 50 year thing was actually a detractor for Some. People thought it was distracting and taking away from the story telling by inserting references. I personally didn’t mind though the car machine guns and the ejector seat were a bit much.

[@chumphonFC]

They're so hung up on the Aston Martin and the ejector seat, lol. It was in there as a nod to the old movies because Skyfall was released on the 50th anniversary of the 1st movie Dr No. The movie is filled with them, they're for the old fans. Remember when movies could have nods and it didn't need to be part of a cinematic universe?

[@BlackJackRazak]

Thanks for the love on the Haiku Andy and Tim. Making them rhyme is always a challenge, I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

[@lobolink2772]

"No Country For Old M"... But in all seriousness the ending scene in the traditional office got me so hype! and then Spectre happened..

[@WorldCupIS]

Oh no Kevin's mic

[@alangiles1213]

Really enjoying these podcasts! Just finished the Quantum episode. Will start listening to this one tonight, really enjoyable listen. I hope you guys decide to do the rest of the franchise..

[@struanrobertson7128]

the car is the same one from goldfinger (as in it IS that car, same license plate, same gadgets). this is to imply that it is all one bond through every film. this was also the 50th anniversary film.

[@KalebKoho]

1. Skyfall 2. Casino Royale 3. Quantum of Solace

[@CheefChaos]

Thank you Kinda Funny crew for helping to keep some of the normal amongst the Insanity. Thank you thank you thank!!

[@mjohns908]

I wouldn't be opposed to you guys doing the Pierce Brosnan films. They're all on Netflix right now, and I think it would be a really fun retrospective after watching the Daniel Craig films.

[@reflectionist]

8:19 I liked that the Skyfall music bit does what the same part of a Mission Impossible movie, but without spoilers and with an artistic mind.

[@dwaynem624]

I just lost it at work with the whole straight razor conversation

[@alquraan180]

I disagree about the "she could of kept shooting" because she was so traumatized that she accidentally shot bond.

[@dcreate]

Before Adele was announced for title track, there were strong rumours that Muse may be writing a song for Skyfall. They ended up releasing the track Supremacy on their next album and its probably the best Bond song never to be used! Different vibe but a fucking banger also for me.

[@joehaley1147]

Fun fact; as a part of the 50th anniversary, the role of Kincade was considered to go to Sean Connery, but the producers decided to not do that as it would be too distracting. The part went to Albert Finney (RIP) instead.

[@mikeybeeee07]

The Bond songs, the Bond songs. Radiohead's Spectre is unbelievably, hauntingly beautiful. Also, probably the best Bond song many people have never even heard. Such a shame. But a fascinating aside on Bond songs. EDIT: I would recommend listening to Radiohead's version after watching the film. Huge mistake not letting Spectre open the film. No disrespect to Sam. I thought Writing on the Wall was super tame.

[@mikeybeeee07]

@@jaycee945 JCLegoMan True. I have heard people share similar sentiments and I tend to agree. I just think the song deserves recognition. I dont think they will like Sam Smith's opening. So it would be nice if they mentioned a fun piece of Bond trivia while refrencing an amazing song. Radiohead has so many amazing songs and b sides. This may be one of their greatest obscure songs. Which says a lot.

[@hysumsref5618]

You guys should rank every 'In review' franchise you have done. Which are the best series of films so far?

[@garyhancharyk952]

I watch this for Andy's intro. I just love "Hey nick wtf?" Nick apologizes. Continues intro.....love it.

[@neojd]

Nick went in on this one! 😄 I really liked Skyfall but Casino Royale is still my number 1. Shout out to Javier Bardem though, he fucking owned this movie. Such a masterful performance.

[@adamstark6579]

I've scrolled through as many comments as my tired brain can take right now, but in case no one has cleared it up for Andy: Mum - British for Mom Ma'am - Honorific usually used for high ranking women within the military/police etc. (shortened from Madam, I think) Mommy - Javier Bardem being more international and using the U.S. version of Mum ;-)

[@tjrage6168]

I forgot how much this movie was lit. Gf overheard me listening to you guys talking about this and she wanted to watch this with me.

[@pallyjaius]

For me, Skyfall is a movie at the end of saga, that they decided to put in the middle

[@AnshumanFotedar]

I have to say that while I enjoy the light-hearted tone of the video, the amount of ragging on Moneypenny gets old real quick.

[@leemurray4519]

Yeah, like, a field agent such as Eve would have no training allocated to the use of a Designated Marksmen Rifle, or DMR, which so happened to be loaded with illegal munitions containing Uranium, so just chill out Nick!

[@TomG1013]

Can I get some love for PM and the Wings with Live and Let Die?

[@rccharger21]

I loved this movie so much. Your guys thoughts are dope. Nick seemed a little hard on this movie, but I definitely think it’s the best Daniel Craig Bond movie. Easily. It’s the MI3 of the Daniel Craig Bonds.

[@taylorjack2130]

Had never seen this before only casino Royale multiple times which I LOVE. Thought skyfall was incredible Roger deakins is a god

[@roscoe750]

Just a heads up Skyfall being in Scotland is not a nod to Sean Connery. It’s because the character James Bond is Scottish. Swiss mother and Scottish father.

[@BlazerManiacNumber96]

But James Bond being Scottish was written into the books only after the movies came out. Flemming liked Connery's performance so well he gave the character Scottish heritage.

[@roscoe750]

Mr. Manager yep I know that already

[@BlazerManiacNumber96]

@@roscoe750 So then why did you say that?

[@roscoe750]

Mr. Manager really? Because Nick said that’s why skyfall was in Scotland was because of Sean Connery. It’s not, it’s because James Bond was written as Scottish. You’ve just stated why James Bond was Scottish, not why Skyfall was set in Scotland.

[@BlazerManiacNumber96]

@@roscoe750 Skyfall was in Scotland because Bond is Scottish. Bond is Scottish because of Connery. Ipso facto Nick is technically right.

[@joehaley1147]

Judi Dench in interviews said that she wasn't aware that M was going to be killed off and that she wanted to do more.

[@BogeyZero]

I'm surprised no one mentioned how dumb Silva's plan was. Years and years of planning, deliberately getting caught, all just to bust in to the court room dressed as police and just start shooting indiscriminately.

[@franchise323334]

Nick, Tiago Silva is the UFC Fighter. The villain in this one is Raoul Silva which is a pseudonym, his real name is Tiago Rodriguez.

Is that Tims actual home with the theater set up and all!?! Geesh! It’s weird how no one has talked about it. It cant be his private place right? Lol

Just wanted to say that I think Joey Fatone looks great in a suit!

[@WyattStreamsHere]

Hey Kevin they make things called straight razors that you cam just swap out the blade on

[@seanmuir5111]

So I just did some research, apparently in the original script the Aston Martin was supposed to be the one from Casino Royale. The director thought it'd be cool to pay homage to the original one from Goldfinger so they sup'd it up. Also this came out around the 50th anniversary of Jame Bond so I'm sure that had some influence.

[@StupidFaceRob]

Sean Muir it’s weird though as not only does that mean that at some point he got Q branch to put all that stuff in (why?) but the Aston in CR had the steering wheel on the opposite side. So they changed the ENTIRE driving position of the car. It’s mental to try and work out how and why all because they wanted a callback.

[@xposhboyx]

I also questioned the car with the gadgets. Bad choice.

[@CrossOutBryce]

This movie has the best song. This one is also my favorite, but Casino Royale m i g h t be better. It just feels tense throughout and really fresh. Also Naomi Harris is sexy AF, like goddamn. Edit: Nick, you gotta get over this car 😂

[@LoganFerguson]

"Live or Let Die" by Guns & Roses hit #2 on the Billboard charts.

[@Brendan_G]

Logan Ferguson I believe it’s first Solo Artist in the Top 10 rather than a band. ‘Live and Let Die’ was Paul McCartney and ‘Wings’

[@NathanCarterVids]

Yo did Nick call an excavator an evacuator? Or an I totally misremembering this part of the movie

[@dcreate]

I understand Nicks gripes, but I seem to remember it being an anniversary year for Bond (50 years??) and that’s why they bring in some of the nostalgic elements e.g. the car. I thought it was nice, but a little out of place. Spectre is where they go too far and lose me. Should have stayed with a Daniel Craig trilogy imo.

[@Sam-jv6fb]

This actually was a cool story, cool way to change actors for certain roles, that seemed natural. Good movie, good villain. My only issue is that at certain points, like the car and the theme song playing was that it seemed like a 50 years of Bond a bit too much, a bit distracting

[@KalebKoho]

I like Skyfall the most because I am not a Bond fan. I don’t have a deep connection and most of the film feel like run of the mill and boring and it’s just what Bond is and that’s fine. It’s not for me, but I respect the people who love it. I LOVE Skyfall because it’s such a deconstruction of your expectations of who Bond is. It’s the only Bond film where the villain honest to god wins. It’s the only film in the franchise where we see Bond stripped down and deconstructed to just being a man. It’s the only film where the villain stares down Bond and shows him why he’s inferior for his boundaries and perceived morality. I think Skyfall is such a deeper Bond movie than most of the surface level popcorn fun the others are and that’s why I really love Skyfall.

[@souperslowy]

It was in a different house that the Wet Bandits were knocked out in. Kevin bounced out of there with the old man before the police showed up.

[@clemens_lueer]

I really enjoyed this movie. I loved it back in theatres and it was a heartbreaking send off to Judy Dench. BUT I think it sucks that the only on-screen female field agent ever is basically a storyline of how women are not competent enough to be in the field. Also, the way how Nick kept repeating "Woman, go back behind your desk!" felt really icky to me. He even said that her only purpose is to make fucking sandwiches! There are a lot of young people in your audience that might be influenced by what you are saying, even if to you it was only in jest. This took out all of the joy for this review for me. I hope this bit doesn't continue on the next one.

[@DarkElfPaladin]
