We return to a tradition like no other, one we skipped last year in deference to Sir Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, but nonetheless we begin our 2-movie series featuring one of the most famous British people not to be a Sir or Lord: James Bond (and Timothy Dalton, I guess… and David Sims while we are at it). Today we are discussing 1987’s The Living Daylights.

Topics include: A Bond from Woke City, The Dalton Bond Disc Set, what’s Vin up to? Anti-milk propaganda, the couch that eats you, a particular set of skills (one of which is driving a horse-drawn carriage) and more.

Movie starts at: 2:28
