Summary

In the weeks after 9/11, Sir Paul McCartney gathered together his rock'n'roll friends for an all-star salute to the first responders. A behind-the-scenes look at the event, Albert Maysles' THE LOVE WE MAKE (2011) is a hair-raising depiction of what it's like to be the most famous man in the world, and a time capsule of America right after the towers fell. It's also a real-life Ricky Gervais show. PLUS: James Bond, Bill Clinton, and the state of the election.

First of all, have you seen Die Another Day lately?

0:49.3

I saw it a few years ago.

0:50.6

It was one of those things that somebody put on.

I think it was at a birthday party,

0:55.3

and they put it on ironically, and it turned out to be too shitty a movie to really even have on

1:02.3

kind of as an ironic thing in the background. So I think it may have even gotten turned off.

1:07.4

That's interesting because I had the exact opposite reaction to it. I enjoyed it from

1:11.9

beginning to end. I want at least one more Bond movie like this before I die. It is so outrageously

beaten at a North Korean prisoner of war camp.

1:27.8

Oh, yeah. And then he comes out and he's got like a dad bought.

1:31.6

It's like it turns out that all you need to recover from being in the North Korean prison camp is a shave and a, you know, for him,
