This week, Jen and Micah of I Never Saw That join us for a movie on their timeline and on our radar from 1995! It took 6 years to make the next Bond film after Licence to Kill, but the wait was most definitely worth it. Pierce Brosnan is hooooooottttt and yet also fun, charming, and roguishly dangerous. New writers and a new director are also in the mix and IT SHOWS, from top-notch, pedal-to-the-metal action sequences to a smart but simple plot, and characters that feel honest and real without distracting from what we’re all really here to see. It’s definitely a little cheesy, and a little over the top, but there’s no denying that this movie revived and maybe even truly established Bond as a legacy film franchise. We’re talking about GoldenEye this week on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!
