Hello and welcome to another bonus episode of Kill James Bond.

0:23.7

I am November Kelly.

0:24.8

I am joined, as always, by my friends Abigail Thorne and Devon.

0:28.9

Hello, gentle listener.

0:31.5

Bonjour listeners.

0:33.4

Ooh, continental.

0:35.4

Yes, well, the thing is, we all took independently short city breaks in central Paris. Yes, in gay Paris. Yes, yes, we did. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was real, like, you know, it was a really quick sort of thing, like in and out one day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just four minutes. We got to see the Louvre, which was really nice.

1:44.5

Yeah, that was nice, actually. Had a great time there. We did have to leave in a hurry, but aside from that, you know, it's always nice to appreciate culture and you take home a few souvenirs as well, so really feeling good about that. Absolutely. And also, if you're on the Patreon, I just honestly don't worry about it anymore. yeah yeah you can that's, that's fine. We're actually taking care of for a while now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's all good. Don't worry. Yeah, in keeping with robbery season. But yeah, so meanwhile, on sort of bonus feed, we've still been... I do feel the need to clarify. We didn't actually steal the jewels from the Louvre and you do have to remain subscribed to the Patreon. Okay, that was a joke. We didn't. You do. You don't cancel your subscription. Please. That was what the joke was just in case anyone didn't get it. Yeah. Please do not cancel your Patreon subscription. Yeah, don't do that. Not least because if you keep it, you get to retain access to us talking about, I guess, vaguely religion.

1:50.7

And today's movie is kind of, I would describe it as like post-religion season.

1:55.0

Doesn't necessarily mean the season is ending, but it's like it's in dialogue with some of the other stuff.

1:56.6

There's a couple of other stuff I wanted to. Solaris as well for religion season season that incorporates, like, not just disbelief,

2:04.1

but like post-belief, if you like.

2:06.8

And the film is White Noise, the 2022 Noah Baumbach movie with Adam Driver.

2:13.1

I love this movie.

2:14.1

It's in, like, my top, at the very least 20, I've seen it a million times. It's kind of a real comfort watch for me. And I'm this movie. It's in like my top, at the very least 20. I've seen it a million times.

2:18.0

It's kind of a real comfort watch for me. And I'm really excited to sort of like share it with you.

2:24.9

Because I think it's... I have a fucking take about this movie.

2:29.4

Yeah. It's a while ago, a while ago you asked a great question on the podcast, which is what is a piece of conservative art that we think is really good? Interesting. I think this is a very well-made conservative film. Interesting. I like this movie, but I disagree with its politics. I don't necessarily disagree. Okay. But we'll get into it.
