(Pt. 1) Incredibles 2 / Goldfinger

This week on the podcast, it’s supervillains, secretive heroes, and slippery schemes as we pair Brad Bird’s new, long-delayed INCREDIBLES 2 with arguably the best iteration of one of Bird’s oft-cited reference points — James Bond — the third film in the Bond franchise, 1964’s GOLDFINGER. In this Bond-centric first half, we discuss how GOLDFINGER helped codify the 007 we know so well today, how its aspirational qualities and gender politics have aged, and how playing Bond shapes an actor’s subsequent career. Plus, some (semi-spoiler-y) feedback on our recent episode on FIRST REFORMED.Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about GOLDFINGER, INCREDIBLES 2, or both by sending an email to [email protected], or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.  Outro music: “Goldfinger” by Shirley Bassey.
