In this episode, Dan and Tom show you 20 things you missed in THUNDERBALL! You’ll be surprised by how many of these you missed. Watch to find out! You'll certainly learn something new.

Every movie has questionable sequences and stuff that you miss, especially on your first time viewing the movie, and maybe your 5th time as well. Well, in this episode, we’re going to the beautiful Bahamas (and a few other places) to find out what we’ve been missing.

· An interesting cameo appearance

· Does anyone know Latin?

· What’s up, or down, with that car window?

· What happened to the hat?

· How many Geiger counters are there?

· A drop in the ocean.

· Of course, dominoes often come in black and white

· Why is that thing spewing yellow stuff?

· Do you wear underwear in the bathtub?

· Oddity in the credits

· Also, some reused GOLDFINGER props

· And of course, there are more.

We find that by looking for these types of things, you watch the movie more closely, especially when watching a movie for the second or third time. And some of these things you miss are continuity issues, so EON Productions missed them, too.

Finally, this video covers our top 20 things you likely missed. Did you know about any of these already? Are there some we missed? If so, drop us a note and let us know.

🎙️ Is The Falcon and the Snowman Any Good?
In this episode, we dive deep into the 1985 espionage drama The Falcon and the Snowman, starring Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn. Based on a true story, the film explores Cold War paranoia, youthful rebellion, and the slippery slope of betrayal. But does it hold up today?

🕵️‍♂️ We break down:

• The film’s real-life origins and political backdrop
• Performances that toe the line between idealism and madness
• Symbolic props, thematic echoes, and narrative tension
• Why this movie feels like a spiritual cousin to Blow Out, Three Days of the Condor, and The Parallax View
