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.

0:25.4

Hey, listen, I say, oh boy, what's up?

0:29.2

Yeah!

0:30.2

Calabunga!

0:31.2

...1960s British movie about the 1940s.

0:34.2

We're poaching war season in order to continue truck season. And this was my pick.

0:40.7

And I picked a movie, a little movie called Ice Cold in My Dead Name. And the first one of you to say it is transphobic. So I'll edit in some like sirens, something of this nature.

0:53.5

If it's me, I have no option but some kind of disgrace.

0:57.5

You know, I've forfeited my own challenge.

1:00.0

But...

1:01.2

I'm sure we can come up with some kind of appropriate punishment for you.

1:04.6

Interesting.

1:05.6

So, this is a movie that I really wanted to do for war season,

1:27.6

because I think it's a sort of classic of the genre of British 1960s war film, but I realized it's also a truck film. And given that we're watching Fast and Furious, for the main content, for the bonus content, we're focusing on the truckman. And this is the truckman at war, the truckman's war, if you's war if you will this movie was fucking great thank you for showing it to me i really enjoyed it in time i

1:32.2

i i think my favorite part of doing this because i'm vain my favorite part of doing this podcast

1:36.8

is getting to make my friends watch a film that i like and having them say oh this is a good

1:41.4

film it's like yes yes i get sort of good like fucking gremlin points, you know? It's like I'm doing a good thing. It's like if the wages of fear, but the nitroglycerin was the Nazis. Yeah, it is crazy how it's kind of the same mood. It's like if instead of a nitroglycerin, there was a beautiful lady. Two beautiful ladies. Three beautiful ladies and one of them is a truck. One of them is a truck. One of them is a truck is a woman which is a real innovation on the wages of fear. Because I had seen this long, long before wages of fear and remembered it very fondly and sort of suggested it thinking, hoping it would sort of stay, you know, worthwhile. And then on watching it, I went, what I've done is I've made them watch Wages of Fear again.

2:21.2

But I hope it's sort of worth it because it is authentically just a very good film in its own right.

2:25.9

The funniest thing to do after this would be Sorcerer.

2:28.2

So you've got wages of fear, triple bill.

2:30.8

Well, Abby's making us do Armageddon again next time as well.

2:33.4

Yeah, yeah.
