Summary

It's that most festive of periods, that most goodwill of all men, that most silent and holy of nights, and you know what that means: We're skipping out on the usual postwar depictions of middle-aged men being miserable to see what exactly we remember about a movie we all last watched in May 2021. Spoilers: Not much! We're pretty certain a guy goes 'BAJA????' ----- Check out friend of the show Mattie's new book Simplicity here, or wherever fine graphic novels are sold! ----- FREE PALESTINE Hey, Devon here. In our home, we talk a lot about how insane everything feels, and agonise constantly over what can be done to best help the Palestinians trapped in Gaza facing the full brunt of genocidal violence. My partner Rebecca has put together a list of four fundraisers you can contribute to- all of them are at work on the ground doing what they can. -Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestinehttps://www.gofundme.com/f/to-preserve-whats-left-of-humanity-global-solidarity -Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotillahttps://www.waterislifegaza.org/ -Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla alsohttps://www.instagram.com/linking/fundraiser?fundraiser_id=1102739514947848 -Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patcheshttps://www.gofundme.com/f/support-thamra-cultivating-resilience-in-gaza ----- WEB DESIGN ALERT Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

0:01.0	Oh!
0:02.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of Kill James Bond
0:23.2	recorded immediately after the previous episode of Kill James Bond
0:28.2	all of us a few drinks deep.
0:31.5	I hope he had a wonderful Christmas.
0:33.3	Illustrated by the word going wrong just that.
0:36.8	I'm illustrating that.
0:38.4	Yeah, we're drunk recording this.
0:39.8	Listen, it's coming out on the 26th of December.
0:42.9	If you're not drunk listening to this, you're not spiritually aligned with the content that we're producing.
0:47.5	I need you to get your fucking weather vein tuned in to the alcohol frequency.
0:52.3	Get up there on the roof like a serious man and tune the fucking aerial. Yeah. Receive F-truth. Get in your car. Drive somewhere. Get a little irresponsible. Say some shit to your podcast co-hosts, you know? Just say it. Just do it. Yeah. Get around the open. Four years. It's about time. It's fucking happened, right? It's been coming a long time. It's been built. We all knew this was going to happen. Yeah, absolutely. We all suspected strongly. Well, I think it's been sort of a will-they-won't-day kind of situation for a long time. I think that helps the energy. I really do. I've come down firmly on the side of will at this point. I would say that the only energy stronger than Will, they won't they is, Will they won't they doesn't matter, but they definitely have. And I look forward to that energy going into 2026. Me too. This is really hitting the like work Christmas party vibe already, isn't it? This is a work Christmas party, this one. We're recording for two hours. We've got something to talk about like on its face. Uh-huh. But however long we want to spend with that. But it's going to take us like 15 minutes. If you're not familiar with the program here that we're trying to do, originally when we started Kill James Bond, we were just going to do the Bond movies,
2:02.5	and then what we were going to do after that was instead of doing every movie,
2:06.7	and what they have to say about masculinity when we remember to include that bit,
2:10.1	my original plan was we would just start over with no notes, not rewatching the movies,
2:37.1	we would just start over at Doctor No, and then every time we hit no time to die, we would start over again until it was a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy. And it was just a podcast that was just chatting. And if you wanted the Bond movies, you would go to season one. But otherwise, it was just us hanging out being friends, rightgely inspired by Mr. Burns, a post-electric play.
2:39.6	It's a really funny idea.
2:42.1	I think it's a great performance art piece.
2:45.2	It wouldn't have been as successful as the podcast is now.
