0:00.0	I just got a bit for your heart to explain.
0:18.2	Hello and welcome to another bonus episode of Kill James Bond. I am November Kelly. I am joined as always by my friends Abigail Thorne and Devon. Hello, Neil before Zod. What is up? RIP. RIPP. RIPP. RIPP. Guy we love to see. Oh shit, for real? Just found out. 40 minutes before we started recording this, so about two weeks time when they hear it.
0:39.9	So sorry for ret traumatizing everybody, but yeah, guy we love to see.
0:45.3	I fear him has been on my list for a long, long while.
0:48.5	So we'll get to that at some point.
0:50.0	That genuine rest in peace to Terrence Stapp from the podcast, Kill James Bond.
0:53.9	However, speaking of art films, we're still on religion season and Devin, this was
0:59.2	your turn to pick and so what have you brought us this time?
1:02.3	I understand religion is a very vague prompt, so I brought you what I believe to be an extremely

1:24.9	That's right.
1:25.9	I want to kind of contextualize this with my Jonathan Glazer opinion, which is that the man has made the movie of the decade for as far as I'm aware, two out of the three previous decades.
1:38.0	This had better be the third, right?
1:39.8	High expectations.
1:41.6	What else has he made?
1:42.6	Because I think this is my first time in character. You'll know people will be most familiar with him from Zone of Interest, which is his most recent movie. Right. But he also did a crime movie, which we are going to do as part of heist season. In fact, I think it would be good to do after Point Break called Sexy Beast, which I really think we would have gotten to before this.
