Too Much Time - No Time to Die (2021) || From Rewatch With Love Ep27

[@Ranakel]

The "adjusted for inflation" joke early in the episode is a stronger payout than most of the Craig Bond arcs. I don't even dislike these movies, I just really like the inflation joke payout

[@matthewmelange]

I get the joke but I think it stumbled because inflation hit 7% in 2021. The film had been on hold since March 2020 and was finally released in September/October 2021

[@JqlGirl]

That moment where Graham has to hesitate to say "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" correctly because of years of talking about "Tinker Tailor Solder Fry" was so good :)

[@BigDaddyBland87]

yea I had a good chuckle at that part

[@Firestar4041]

The haunting scars of Ian run deep

[@anthonydpearson]

24:39 - I'm SURE that originally, Safin was supposed to be Dr No. In the books, Dr No had his heart on the other side of his body. That, combined with the Noh mask, the fact that the movie was called NO Time to Die, etc, and I'm sure that was the original plan, but for whatever reason, they changed their mind, leaving as you say zero payoff for that moment.

[@MrTBoneSF]

I just refer the movie as Dr. No, Time To Die

[@Isnochao0910]

I had a suspicion that this was due to some of the rewrite/creative differences mentioned at the start.

[@AnInnocuousBlueCube]

So now he's just a weeaboo with stupid, regular hands.

[@Skyfox94]

That'd have been really cool.

[@ravenlord_xix]

I always figured he had a bulletproof vest on under the coat, and a shot just hit him in an unprotected area, as there is not a huge amount of blood, or blood on his jacket where he was hit over the heart. The shots hitting the vest, plus the drop off the balcony both compound to knock him unconscious for the extended amount of time. Just my interpretation of the scene.

[@shanerigby1200]

That line at 1:54:45 is 'Die Blofeld, die.' which is a direct quote from the scene in the Fleming novel 'You Only Live Twice' where Bond strangles and kills Blofeld. It's a tip of the hat for readers of the novels. Thanks for the new episode, brilliant and interesting as always.

[@johnpotts8308]

But why would Bond say "The Blofield, The" in German? Is this a reference top the fact that Blofeld is meant to be a German speaker?

[@shanerigby1200]

@@johnpotts8308 Seufz, wie ich sehe, konntest du der Möglichkeit, zu trollen, einfach nicht widerstehen.

[@rynol1]

I read recently that apparently there are a number of references to the book version of "You Only Live Twice", in that Blofeld is hiding out in Japan under an assumed identity, but is nicknamed by the locals "Dr Poison", in both of them Bond becomes a father, although he doesn't learn about it in the book, and even M's quote at the end, "The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time", which is from Jack London, is used in the book in the same context, said at a wake for Bond (although in the book they just think he's dead).

[@ConnorNotyerbidness]

@@rynol1 the working title for this film was Shatterhand, and blofeld didnt go by Dr Poison he went by Dr Gutram….wait for it….Shatterhand The base in japan ( a medieval japanese castle on the sea in the book), the Poison Garden (used as a Suicide Forest by the locals and thus was a disgrace) and stuff like Die Brother, Die are all from You Only Live Twice

[@rynol1]

@@ConnorNotyerbidness I know he didn't go by Dr. Poison, I was saying that I think that's the nickname the locals had for him, but I might be mistaken.

[@jdrobertson42]

Just for the record, I rented this three hour movie last weekend, for real, human money, just so I could properly appreciate all three hours of this podcast. Worth it.

[@loadingreadyrun]

Thanks! 😄

[@calebmarmon1310]

Yeah I just watched it for free on a plane. But same end goal.

[@Timhann]

I love everything LRR does but I have to say I have loved this series the most. These podcasts have been truly excellent. I have listened through too many times, more times than I've seen the films they discuss. I would love, with words I have yet to discover, for there to be more film reviews and the mentioned we play. Thank you all so much for bringing this joy to my life. You are all such wonderful people.

[@Dataloss484]

I'm SO here for this!!! I've been waiting for what feels like a decade for this. Thank you for doing this guys!

[@Dataloss484]

So, I finally got to finish this episode (lots of stuff happened) and I just have to say: That "this podcast will return" really hit different. I really felt my heart drop a bit when I realised how long it will probably be until the next episode comes out. I might have to rewatch with a lot of love this series that is called rewatch with love. I had so much fun reminiscing about movies I watched as a child with my dad and learning about movies i had never watched. Thank you so much again for this treasure.

[@gonvillebromhead2865]

There are two options I'd love to see the Bond films go. a) Prequel: WWII Bond. Pre-00 section, Naval Commando. b) Complete troll: The open the next movie with the revelation that Bomb is immune to explosions. The explosion did kill all the nano-bots in Bond. Bond is still played by Craig. However, in the first act Madeline and Mathilde get eaten by a Diplodocus, revealing the movies villain. Who is a Diplodocus.

[@samueljones8100]

Based on the amount of explosions bond survives in this movie. I honestly won’t be that surprised if the one at the end did not kill him.

[@colinlove4659]

Why Bond Hates Doctor Dinosaur...

[@FrankiePeanuts]

Why would Madeline and Mathilde be eaten by an herbivorous dinosaur?

[@gonvillebromhead2865]

@@FrankiePeanuts That's the mystery Bond has to solve

[@calebmarmon1310]

For b, the movie is about Bond living off the grid, pretending to be dead again. And he comes back to MI6 for one more mission. And he dies again, but this time succumbing to his wounds in a church, because, y’know… every movie has to one up the previous movie’s conclusive ending even more conclusively.

[@dylansporrer1198]

I haven't seen the film, so maybe the "They're nanobots" thing is way more integrated than this, but is it at all possible that Heracles was a chemical weapon originally but got re-written because "A strange new virus that spreads quickly and could threaten the entire world" was a little too... real?

[@Firestar4041]

. . . ah son of a bitch, Bond gave us all covid-nanobots . . .

[@chrisdaily2077]

I mean that happened in Falcon and Winter Soldier.

[@DrinkToForgetThermo]

My exact thought, they had to rewrite Falcon and Winter Soldier cause that was the original plot of the show. The only remnant is when Bucky gets into the trailer and says they're stealing vaccines

[@Taschenschieber]

Here's my key takeaway of this series: Every new Bond actor's first movie is great (excluding non-Eon movies). Whenever an actor plays Bond for multiple movies, at least one of those movies is subpar. Thus, I hereby proclaim that future Bond movies should recast the lead role in every movie. I also proclaim that George Lazenby made the right call when he left the series after just one movie.

[@aether9461]

I still can't believe the superweapon in a bond film is literally just FOXDIE

[@JMSpane]

Yeah I though Sgent 47 shut this down in Sapienza.

[@TehAmelie]

It's Foxdie AND it's nanomachines! Well, maybe it turned out Foxdie was also nanobots in the later games, but as far as I recall it's two Metal Gear plots in one.

[@KingKool2099]

As a huge fan of the MGS games, I hadn't thought of it that way. And now I'm even sadder.

[@TheBeird]

Oh God, you’re right!

[@Firestar4041]

Its FOXDIE, without the need for a code phrase and Nanomachines, with none of the super power memes Its . . . . yeah, wow, saying that out loud just makes me sadder....

[@andreasbuehler1821]

It's weird. I've seen like... three bond movies in my life? And yet, I've seen every episode of this podcast.

[@ghani666]

This podcast is great. With all the added background knowledge, it will probably be super fun for you to watch through the series now. I admit to being a bit envious, I wish I could watch them all again for the first time.

[@mrphlip]

24:28 "It really feels like he's dead and comes back to life" - this is absolutely how I read it when I was watching the first time. And then later on in the cold open, when Bond gets blown up at Vesper's grave, and he's down and then suddenly leaps back to consciousness with _the same action_ of going from lying down seemingly dead, snapping to eyes wide open, sharply inhaling... I absolutely thought they were doing a Thing. Like, is this why it's No Time to Die? Because something something spy magic and now Bond and this masked assassin are unkillable? But no, it absolutely does not come up again.

[@Taschenschieber]

I've said it before but I'd really love to see you tackle more movies in this format, regardless if it's a franchise or if you're just picking whatever movie you feel like talking about, and even if it's just a monthly or bi-monthly thing. So, if this podcast will indeed return, I'll be very happy about it.

[@leijen208]

Yes! I agree. Would love the Reeve Superman movies and the Mission Impossible franchise. Wouldn't even mind the FF franchise, as bonkers as it has gotten

[@chriswright3448]

"The Nordic Jungles" Well yes where else do you get the Nordic Blue Parrot? It's beautiful blue plumage just blends in with the mists there!

[@PharaohBender27]

1:22:30 Oh my God I'm laughing at the caption back-and-forth. I realize this is a podcast that can just be listened to, but stuff like that is what makes it worth watching as well as listening.

[@GGCrono]

I'm 1000% hyped for Replay with Love if that materializes, but honestly, I'd also listen to any number of additional movie podcasts.

[@fennageelhoed]

Thanks for coming back to finish this, guys. Made me realise how much I'd missed your voices talking about Bond. And I agree with a lot of what Matt said - much of what happens in NTTD is good on paper, but it feels unearned.

[@brettd2308]

Everything about Safin's character and personality just *screams* that he was originally written to be Dr No, but they changed their minds and cut that, leaving a bunch of stuff about him that makes less sense now.

[@gnfnrf]

I see that we carry on the tradition of forgetting about the "favorite Bond moment" segment. I suppose it was skipped so much it hardly counts as a segment, but I liked it. Ah, well. Excellent production, fellas, and I'm glad to see it finally wrapped up.

[@patrickdunham9490]

I am 100% onboard with more movie podcasts from you guys! FRWL was great.

[@wearwolf2500]

One problem I have with this movie is that they talk about how once you are infected with the nanobots they can't be removed and yet they also have an EMP ring. Haven't these people seen Stargate?

[@calebmarmon1310]

I was surprised Bond’s earpiece worked after he activated it so close to his head. There’s no reason not to make it some kind of chemical agent.

[@rfactor1502]

Love that this came out this morning, just finished relistening to the series podcasting it at work. A nice surprise after From Relisten From Rewatch With Love With Love. Looking forward to the From Replay With Love if it happens, the Goldeneye 64 game could almost be a short series on it's own with how much they put in with the pre-title missions (three entire levels!), the missions before the start of the movie (another three levels!) and then just expanding Bond's personal appearances in the story, in comparison to the movie. It winds up doing weirdly well as a character arc for Bond, possibly what the movie intended.

[@IkomaTanomori]

This series and the Kill James Bond podcast are perfect companion pieces, in my opinion. This podcast to embrace the fun action and humor, to evaluate the decisions as films - and the other to engage with the social baggage that comes with Bond. Unexpected side effect of both: greatly increased appreciation for Timothy Dalton's Bond.

[@janosbornemisza1807]

Thanks so much for this series - it really informed and deepened my appreciation for the series. In fact I was more excited to hear you talk about it than I was to finally see the last film (months and months after the fact). Thanks so much for everything you do!

[@TheatreKallum]

Boys are back, this podcast got me through lockdown nice to see it completed. Love the show. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@spideylover4105]

1:54:49 actually he says "die, blofeld, die!" Which is what he said in the book. This is an example of things not always translating well from book to screen.

[@DeadnCold]

I love Editor Matt just playing the part of the peanut gallery, laughing at and pointing out the mistakes Graham and Host Matt make.

[@antondevonlh]

On the subject of the cats, in the last movie he calls out that he has two cats and himself to feed, so Q actually has two hairless sphinx cats that perfectly troll him by replacing each other on the table everyone he turns around. And as an owner of three cats, this is probably the most accurate portrayal of cats in film I have seen so far. I was also so confused in the Astin Martin scene, cause I was like "who is driving Bond around London" until I realized it was a temporal cut. Very odd choice IMO. Anyway, thank you for doing this, it has been a spectacular ride. Watching your upbeat view of the best of Bond across from a similar rewatch that dives deeper into the cultural issues around Bond has been a fantastic experience. Thank you for all your efforts, and for the great content!

[@surfingtheeutectic8074]

So very excited to see this finally come out! I have absolutely adored this podcast - thank you for all the hours and work that have gone into it! Also, I strongly recommend Cary Joji Fukunaga's Maniac - brilliant, mad filmmaking and it show's off Magnussen's excellent sinister range.

[@malacorath]

At risk of being "that guy" they did a gun barrel sequence in Spectre, so this was his 2nd

[@CrmsnDragoon]

Thank you again Matt G, your edits and video only corrections make this great podcast even greater

[@cowmark67]

Loved this podcast series. Coming out of the movie, I though it was pretty good. Looking back on it and hearing Matt's gripes has made the movie sour on me. Though I don't have as much disdain for the movie as Matt does, I agree with all his points. Now of the topic of a new movie series that you guys could cover if you wanted to continue that I think would be interesting and fun would be the Star Trek movies. I don't know how much Matt is into Star Trek but I know Graham loves it and it would be interesting to look at the differences between the Original Series movies, the Next Generation movies, and the JJ Abrams movies. Just a thought. The Fast & Furious series would also work, but I know Andrew already has a podcast about that.

[@kenbrandt6100]

Huge Star Trek fan here (my "big three" fandoms are Trek, Rocky, and Bond), so this idea absolutely gets my vote. Or maybe an episode recap of the upcoming Star Trek: Strange New Worlds?

[@PineArea]

Psyched for this episode! Going into this, I’d call NTTD a gorgeous execution of a terrible idea. Can’t wait to see what you both thought!

[@Shparky]

And that's pretty much the conclusion they reached. Still, it has been an absolute blast following them on this journey.

[@KingKool2099]

Remember how Rise of Skywalker had a scene that served as a self-referential review? In Last Jedi, Kylo Ren smashes his helmet, but in Rise of Skywalker, they put it back together with red goo in all the cracks? They broke something ON PURPOSE, regretted it, put it back together as best they could... and now the cracks are all I can see. I've got one of those for No Time To Die. The good guys develop a nanomachine plague that can kill anyone based on their genetic code for 'defense.' And as Yahtzee said in his Killzone: Shadow Fall review in response to another gene-targeting plague, "And I have a bottle of maple syrup for defense against pancakes." But ANYWAY... This is a plan that is indistinguishable from something that the bad guys would have come up with in any other Bond film. But the good guys did it anyway for whatever goddamn reason. And it finally puts Bond, the unstoppable and un-lose-able badass, into an unwinnable situation that ends all our fun. Maybe... if THAT was the best plan the people in charge came up with... maybe they shouldn't be in charge anymore. Thank you so much for the podcast, Graham and Matt. It has been a thrill.

[@Happymali10]

You can see that the "Bullet wound above his heart" ends on black fabric, which is probably meant to be a bulletproof vest. She shot at him with a 9mm, most ballistic vests should stop that.

[@Derek_Smallshorts]

Yes. When I saw the movie, I didn't even question that. I thought he'd just been severely winded by the fall.

[@grumpyginger99]

Weirdly part of the problem I think is that James Bond movies are inconsistent with showing blood. I watched the movie last night and when Madeleine is dragging him through the snow there's only a tiny trail of blood where it look like she winged him. If Bond movies were more consistent with blood (since there's less than there should be) it would make it clear that he was down because he fell and presumably got knocked out rather than him shrugging off bullets to vital organs.

[@DennerBob]

Graham and Matt podcasts have proven universally excellent this far. Happily awaiting details of whatever the next project turns out to be 👍

[@MrDalevich]

The bit where he squashes Logan Ash has got to be a nod to when Bond boots Loque off a cliff in For Your Eyes Only. One of my favourite 'Finish Him' bits in that film.

[@TariLambele]

I was literally relistening to the other episodes yesterday, wondering when this was going to come out!

[@GeneralEverywhen]

Awesome episode guys! I won't lie, I've been waiting for this one eagerly ever since I watched the movie myself. And despite your... *Mixed* take on the movie, I think y'all delivered! One thing though, and I wanna preface that it's not a knock against either of you, but they actually DO talk about Safin's plan in the movie, mentioned largely by the evil scientist guy as Nomi is ferrying him out, and also indirectly by Safin in the scene where he let's Madeline go when he mentions a "buyer": He's planning to SELL different strains of Heracles to world governments and other seedy organizations. Each setup in the lab is a variant coded to a different demographic, so no matter who the shady organization in question wants genocided, he'd have the option in stock to sell. Now, of course, this idea is very, VERY STUPID when you think about it for even a minute. Given that there's basically no way you could sell a kind of Heracles to one person without revealing that you have every OTHER kind also in stock. A thing which would then prompt *everyone* you don't sell stock to to hunt you down like a rabid dog and/or bomb you into oblivion to stop you from selling their demise. Or even prompt people who *buy from you* to kill you after the deal so you don't immediately turn around and sell a strain that kills THEM to the next buyer (I imagine the Neo-Nazis trying to eradicate all other races wouldn't react *well* to knowing you have Anti-Caucasian Heracles on tap, for instance). So yeah. It's not that he DIDN'T state his motive, it's just that the motive wasn't stated very emphatically, and the motive stated is actually very, VERY ludicrous when really properly considered.

[@jedikv]

Great pod - been looking forward to this for a while. Some observations of note: There's quite a few throwbacks to a lot of th past bonds - some larger and more subtle. Here's a few just from what I heard from the pod: 56:47 - The statue in the opening titles is a reference to OHMSS' opening title 1:31:41 - the 'Vanquish V8' mentioned is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Series II from Living Daylights 2:13:53 - Bond letting the car roll and kill a bad guy is a nod to Roger Moore coldly kicking the car off the cliff in 'For You Eyes Only' 2:47:03 - The passage read by M originated from Jack London. This passage was also used for Bond's obituary in the original novel of 'You Only Live Twice' More speculatively, there are a lot nods to the 'Metal Gear Solid' series: - The use of nano machines as an assassination tool is similar to FOXDIE - Nomi acting as the proxy the 'Raiden' character being the capable replacement - The underwater infiltration into Safin's base broadly resembles the intro from MGS1 - The 'Q-dar' device has elements of the 'Soliton' radar Solid Snake uses to navigate the environment - The Q/Bond interaction during the base infiltration is similar to Otacon/Snake's interaction in Metal Gear Solid 1/2 - The long-take gunfight up the circular stairs mimics a scene in the MGS 1 where snake has to run up a tower dispatching numerous genome soldiers - The ladder climb at the end just before the air strike hits mimics that of Big Boss climbing up the silo ladder in MGS 3 - Madeleine telling Mathilde, about Bond and his legacy mirrors MGS 4 where Otacon's monologues about preserving Snake's legacy

I have been waiting for this one, and it was worth the wait. The feeling of a really good podcast being actually, definitively complete at the thing it set out to do is one you don't get very often, and it's a mix of emotions: there's definitely a sense of damn, that thing I love is over now and I shall have nothing more but rewatches, but there's also a definite satisfaction that comes with finishing something like that. I can only imagine how it feels for Grahamatt^2, having completed this mammoth recording and editing session. Congratulations and well done to all involved, and thank you for this journey.

1:46:53 - "How high do they go? Double-0 12? Who knows." - I do remember one scene in Thunderball, where there's a big all-hands-on-deck briefing with all the double-0's, and they're in this massive elaborate meeting room, in a row of 9 seats, of which Bond sits in the seventh seat. Which I took to imply that there's nine of them, 001 to 009, and they were seated in order. But who knows, maybe they've changed the structure in the last 5 decades...

1:48:45 in one of the Connery movies, I think Thunderball, M assigns every 00 agent to the mission at hand (London and DC being held hostage with nukes by SPECTRE), and sends them around the world looking for clues. IIRC Bond just ignores his assignment and tracks down a lead he already had.

Listening to this while cleaning, and every time they say Nomi I kept picturing KLAUS Nomi, which would have been... a very different movie.

1:25:03 Real talk, the person opposite Primo/Cyclops here (also in shades) looked so cool I immediately noticed them and wished they'd be in more of the movie EDIT: Saw this movie with my partner and in-laws, and I was the only one who had seen the previous movies (+ this podcast had refreshed my memory) and there's so many references that they didn't get and it took them out of it a lot. Like they didn't even remember Blofeld

Hot damn! Was so happy to see you guys released this.

And here I was wondering when you guys will get to No Time to Die. Thank you gentlemen, for the ride from the start to the latest one thus far. I hope to hear your opinions, if you ever do this, on the next entry when it comes. I appreciate you, Graham and Matt

I'll be up front, I haven't watched it yet and I haven't seen the movie either, I've just been hanging on to this comment for about a year so here we go: This is by far the best James Bond podcast I've ever listened to. (Technically That's only 2 and I gave up on the Nerdist one when they brought on guests that didn't even watch the movies and started bitching at listeners that criticized them for it.) I'll be back when I find the time to get caught up.

This has been a fun experience, even as I'm someone who has never watched a single Bond film. Would certainly be interested in any further film podcasting from the duo of Gram and Matt, or maybe even Matt and other LRR members as appropriate. Basically, Matt Wiggins film podcasts with LRR interest me

Ahhhh good. I was hoping the good editing goofs would return here, and not only have they, I now have a new favourite with the dueling editor comments at 1:22:36 🤣

I am so excited for this episode!! Waited for so long….

[@spikysmoothness]

A thing these podcasts made me realize is that Daniel Craig has been really underappreciated and is actually a cool Bond and even moreso behind the scenes with his recomendations for casting and writers and getting them work on a Big Name franchise, which I can appreciate and I love these podcasts. Also him staunchly defending the women who get work on or in the movies, even with the actress to whom he passed the torch by saying that she should have a part just as big as Bond instead of being Bond and having to face the misogony from terrible fans.

Safin and this movie have number of connections to the Fleming novel, You Only Live Twice. The garden of death and the Japan locale are directly from the novel. Blofeld, who was the villain of the book, has adopted a very Japanese aesthetic (Japanese castle, samurai armour, etc.).

Spectre already gave Craig the classic gun barrell opening before this one did. Just sayin’.
