"And since everything's been knocked out we need to close embassies and evacuate people across the region"
One per month is reasonable if you want to get back into the habit of reading.
I agree with a lot of this. I just wanted to point out that I don't necessarily disagree with Phil as much as it may appear at first and not sure if i expressed that in thr podcast.
Me too! 10 books a month is insane for most people. If you have that much time, then great! But why make it a goal. Just read.
If you have a reading a reading goal of, say, 5 books a year, I think you need to up your goals. Best option: dont have reading goals at all. It's insane.
Something I dont get. I see people have reading goals of 10 books a month. I ha e a couple of questions:
A) you do realise reading isnβt a competitive sport?
B) where you you find the time?
For what it's worth, I do think @philnobilejr.bsky.social is right to worry what Amazon will do. I don't remember what I said precisely, but hope is doing a lot of heavy lifting for me until I see hard evidence Amazon is screwing up.
Thank you. Our aim is to provide serious commentary on all things Bond, not just add noise.
Phil Nobile Jr. is down about Amazon taking control of the Bond movies, but then Broccoli and Wilson weren't going to make more movies themselves.
I look forward to seeing whether a Bond movie not made by them feels like a Bond movie to me. NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN did.

If thereβs anything weird in the edit, itβs probably down to me editing while on cold meds that made me a bit trippy - on top of my lack of editing skills.

Two actors are being reported as the next Bond.
They canβt both be right.
Hereβs what matters:
β Script stage
β Villeneuveβs timeline
β Casting sequence precedent
Iβve broken down both stories in this monthβs intelligence briefing.
