Best of Worst of British

BOndWOB #04 - Quantum of Solace (2008)

Sat, 24 Dec 2022 12:00:07 GMT

After Daniel Craig's more serious take on Bond, after the invisible car silliness of Die Another Day, led to a classic of the series in 2006's Casino Royale. As is so often the case, the producers double down on the seriousness and the Bourne-inspired shaky cam action. But it all turns into a bit of a mess.

Joining Lorcan and Thom is the comedian and writer Tom Mayhew

BOndWOB #03 - Die Another Day (2002) (with Andy Hughes)

Fri, 23 Dec 2022 12:00:07 GMT

In many ways, Pierce Brosnan was the perfect physical emobodiment of what James Bond would look like if you were asked to imagine him. But his legacy is at best a mixed bag, and Die Another Day was a very unfortunate way for him to have to bow out.

For this episode, Lorcan and Thom are joined by Andy Hughes of the Dinosaur Man podcast

BOndWOB #02 - Octopussy (1983) (with Mary Flanigan)

Thu, 22 Dec 2022 12:00:56 GMT

Roger Moore may be the most easily ridiculed Bond, but he is also the man who proved that Bond could continue and thrive without Sean Connery in the title role, which means he more than anyone else is probably the reason why the film series has gone on for as long as it has, and will continue to do so for the forseeable future.

Unfortunately, Moore stuck around far too long, and is a visibly crackly man of his mid-fifties by the time this frequently ludicrous caper involving a team of lady ninjas that may have originally been gap year students, undercover clown costumes, and the bright idea of flying a hot air balloon of the union jack invading Indian territory.

Joining Lorcan and Thom this time is the wonderful comedian Mary Flanigan.

BOWOB - 03x04 - Take Me High (1973)

Thu, 15 Dec 2022 12:00:17 GMT

Cliff Richard opens a burger bar in 1970s Birmingham. If that doesn't convince you to listen to this episode worth, I don't know what will. A bribe? Sorry, I spent all my money (and then some) on the stage rights to 'Take Me High' immediately after we recorded this episode. I'll be the next Cameron Mackintosh and Andrew Lloyd-Webber combined in that teleportation device from 'The Fly'! Only even sexier than that sounds.

BOWOB - 02x12 - Zombie Women of Satan (2009)

Sat, 10 Dec 2022 17:47:52 GMT

"The lesson is, if your mate phones you up and says 'Do you want to be in a zombie film?', don't just say 'Yes'. There's not even any zombies in it... the "zombies" are woman who've been drugged... It's a horrible, horrible film about women who get drugged and try to escape and get killed by me, and most of them do it topless...

In the history of (FrightFest), Zombie Women of Satan is the only film ever in the Worst Film category to get all the nominations.

The guy who wrote it, directed it, and starred in it, a guy called Warren Speed who is awful, he couldn't write, direct or act... He had a scene where he was supposed to do a knife throwing act and on the day of filming he said 'I don't know how to throw knives'"

When the makers of this bilge chose to adapt the Viz comic classic, instead of consulting the original creatives who took inspiration from the brassy working class ladies they encountered in North East England, they hired as a writer the creative genius behind 'Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot'

The Carry On films were once so popular they literally released a film that was a clip show from the previous films. This one ended the series for fourteen years. Then Carry On Columbus came out. We will definitely get to that one, but for now let's see what a Carry On film based on the increasingly popular erotic soft-porn films of the 70s that ultimately made these smutty postcard films obsolete.
