  • EP#167 - The Living Daylights (1987)
    Sep 5 2025

    It's down, down to wire, as Charlie and George are back in Bond territory, tackling 1987's The Living Daylights!

    They discuss the debut of (the very underrated) Timothy Dalton and taking Bond back to his gritty roots. There are the typical Bond tropes to cover, including memorable action sequences, dastardly henchmen, and a synth-heavy John Barry score, amongst a very convoluted plot!

    So set your hopes up way too high - the living's in the way we diiiiiiiie!
