June 12, 2019 20:53 - 1 ByteI am sorry we forgot this one months ago, but let’s end this series! We leave the prequel and end up with the final entry into the saga, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Well, the last one for 19 years.

Not much, but Read More

November 15, 2018 04:01 - 68.8 MBWhen last we left Indy, he had defeated the Nazis, saved the girl, and lost the Ark of the Covenant to bureaucratic red tape.

(Indiana Jones and the) Raiders of the Lost Ark
November 01, 2018 05:01 - 1 ByteSo the story goes, Steven Spielberg wanted to direct a James Bond movie and the Broccolis said no to him. This was his response. This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we fall back in love with a great character who doesn’t really matter in the plot of his own movie. We watched Indiana Jones Read More

Skyfall
March 09, 2018 20:50 - 1 hour - 1 ByteMan, this movie seems more recent, but after the disappointing Quantum of Solace, Skyfall returned Bond with gusto. Adele sings a brassy ballad and the audience swooned. Also, a good flick. We watched Daniel Craig as James Bond in Skyfall!

Quantum of Solace
March 09, 2018 20:49 - 1 hour - 45.9 MBI know, I know, you are thinking about how bad this movie is or, rather, how much you disliked it. So, thank you for even looking. It is riddled with shaky-cam, it feels rushed, and it is not crazy or campy (so bad it is good). Yet, it is brutal and at time very real. Read More

Die Another Day (2002)
March 09, 2018 20:47 - 1 hour - 72.3 MBThis week we say goodbye to Pierce with one of the worst concieved Bond movies of all time, Die Another Day.

We watched Read More
The World is Not Enough (1999)
March 09, 2018 20:45 - 1 hour - 56 MBThe only thing I need to say about this movie in order to see whether or not you remember it is “Christmas Jones.” This train wreck involves the death of Hagrid, M being kidnapped, and some serious Pierce Brosnan jaw acting.

The Living Daylights (1987)
March 09, 2018 20:40 - 1 hour - 66.7 MBThis week we introduce the new James Bond. He is rugged, he doesn’t make quips, and it is a darker grittier movie.
