Episode 13: A Banana Hammock Is Never Safe

This week, we are joined by very special guest Romeo Azar, local creative director and Man of Opinions, for a discussion about James Bond and all things 007! Booze fans can also rejoice this week, as we have many options for your drinking. Our primary recommendation is Rosenblum Cellars’ Stark Raving Malbec, but feel free to also sample Crispin Classic English Dry Cider or Pacific Pear Cider, as we were under the influence of all three during this episode. (Actually, there was also a fourth bottle of wine, but we didn’t like it as much, so we won’t plug it in print.) (No, we didn’t have any martini fixings on hand. Clearly, we don’t plan these things ahead of time.) Anyway, to distract you from our lack of martinis, here’s a video that Windy, Romeo, and I (and other friends) made over the holidays last year: a mash-up of Bollywood and “The Good Ship Lollypop”. It has nothing to do with James Bond. Show notes behind the cut! Movies mentioned: All of the Bond films Hot Fuzz Toy Story 3 Flash Gordon Die Hard The Bourne Identity Layer Cake The Avengers (TV) About Time Somewhere in Time Requiem for a Dream Billy Elliot People mentioned: Sean Connery George Lazenby Roger Moore Timothy Dalton Pierce Brosnan Daniel Craig Bob Simmons Harrison Ford Grace Jones Gladys Knight Joe Don Baker Madonna Michelle Yeoh Jonathan Pryce Shirley Bassey Adele Tom Jones kd lang Chrissie Hynde Rita Coolidge Sheena E Whitney Houston Terence Trent D’Arby Janet Jackson Christopher Jones Diana Rigg Telly Savalas Paul Haggis Jane Seymour Barbara Bach Dame Judy Dench Dave Arnold Alan Cumming Javier Bardem Ralph Feinnes Martin Campbell We also got into a tangent about historic, long-gone movie theaters in the Twin Cities.
