We’re wrapping up Part III of our Bond saga with Kent Blue of theRoll to Play Podcast Network, and we’re talking about what very well could have been Daniel Craig’s final Bond film. I mean, he drives off into the sunset with a woman who truly understands his pain and trauma, and gets the best of a long-time nemesis. What more could we ask for? Well, for one, the fact that Daniel Craig is still James Bond, at least for one more movie. More importantly, though, this movie wants to be too many things at the same time. Is it a throwback to From Russia with Love, or Thunderball? Is our main villain brute strength or dastardly, conniving evil? And why, oh why, did we not give Dave Bautista more screen time, even if he doesn’t have any more lines? We try to answer these questions and more as we discuss Spectre this week on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!
