How Did This Get Made?

A View to a Kill LIVE! w/ Matt Gourley and Matt Mira (HDTGM Matinee)

Jan 7, 2025

Joining the crew are Matt Gourley and Matt Mira, renowned Bond aficionados and hosts of James Bonding. They hilariously debate whether 'A View to a Kill' deserves its reputation as the worst Bond film. Expect insights on absurd plot points like snowboarding's cinematic debut and the baffling presence of a robot dog. The conversation hilariously critiques the film's character choices, blimps as villain transport, and a butterfly-themed disappointment. Their witty banter and engaging analysis reveal both nostalgia and flaws inherent in 80s cinema.
