Summary

Between the collapse of the Soviet Union and the War on Terror, James Bond went on a mission to find... relevance. We watched GOLDENEYE (1995), the first end-of-history Bond film, to find how 007 fit into the New World Order. PLUS: reflections on the inauguration, Canada's wacky system of governance, and the passing of Larry King.

0:00.0	Welcome to Michael and us. I'm Will Sloan. Here is always with.
0:15.3	Luke Savage, welcome back, everyone.
0:17.3	We didn't mention this on the last episode, but I would be remiss if I didn't pay tribute to
0:22.6	one of the fallen heroes, one of our personal inspirations for the Michael and Us podcast,
0:28.3	a role model for both Luke and I. Yes, I'm talking about the beloved broadcaster, Larry King,
0:33.7	who passed away last weekend at the age of 87. I am curious, Luke, what has been your
0:39.0	exposure to Larry King, if any? I think I caught him on late night TV a few times during the two

1:11.5	I mean, he's probably fulfilled that function on conservatively three or four movies we've watched for this podcast.
1:18.1	I felt a little sad that Larry King died, I have to say.
1:21.5	I mean, I'm sentimental about any old guy who dies.
1:24.7	I'm sentimental about anyone who seems like the end of an era, even if it's
1:28.2	like, you know, kind of a hack broadcaster, you know, softball interview guy. But the other reason
1:34.4	I feel a bit sad is because there was something, I think, genuinely authentic about him. He truly
1:39.8	was a bozo in suspenders. And he also barely pretended to care about most of the interviews he did.
1:46.9	He wasn't fake ingratiating the way that somebody like Anderson Cooper is. You know, he famously did
