the latest and greatest in movies with M -Wire.

My name's Bond. James Bond. Hello and welcome

to Shake and Not Stir, M -Wire's spotlight on

the Bond films, which is brought to you by the

GeekCast radio network and audible .com. I am

one of your hosts, Steve G. and Mike, and joining

me as always is movie revolt Dan. Hello. Hello.

How are you? I am doing well, how are you? Today

I'm doing pretty good. Today we start off another

new era in the Bond franchise as Roger Moore

takes the role over in Live and Let Die. Up until

watching the film before, you know, doing this

recording, the only thing I really knew about

this one was the song. Yeah, I'm right there

with you. You talked about how many of the Connery

movies you didn't watch before this. I'm kind

of in that boat with much of the Roger Moore

films. I guess when I watched most of the Connery

movies with my dad who enjoyed that era of Bond,

but he really wasn't in the Roger Moore, so I

never got into it. So I think I heard the song,

and I didn't even know it was a song for Bond

until I went back and I started rewatching all

the Bond movies. But yeah, I'm in the same boat

with you. with this film. Yeah. I watched this

and this is something from this point on in the

Shagan on Sturge series, ladies and gentlemen,

if you're listening to this, you're going to

hear me say this a lot. This movie is too long.

Like, you know, every time I rented these from

iTunes to be able to watch them. to be able to

do each other podcast recordings I would look

at the time like this is a two -hour movie or

this is an hour and fifty minute movie and it

just feels like they're so much longer than that

I don't know yeah but this was my first time

actually seeing live and let die I had seen other

Roger Moore entries like when we get to man with

a golden gun I remember seeing a view to a kill

a long time ago but again at that time it was

like hey the song etc etc etc But yeah, I don't

know about this one. So let's let's send it over

to JT and he's gonna give us just the facts on

live and let die. In live and let die, James

Bond is sent by his boss M to investigate the

mysterious deaths of three fellow MI6 agents,

one of whom was working with US intelligence

to monitor the activities of a Dr. Kananga, the

dictator of San Monique, an island nation in

the Caribbean. One agent was killed during a

meeting at the UN in New York City, another was

stabbed and killed near a restaurant in New Orleans,

and the third was killed on San Monique itself

during a voodoo ritual. Bond first goes to NYC

to investigate the murder at the UN during which

time Kananga is also visiting. However, when

007 first arrives in town, his driver is killed

while en route to meeting CIA agent Felix Leiter.

Surviving the crash, Bond gives chase and tracks

the assassin to a restaurant called the Filet

of Soul in Harlem. This restaurant, and many

others like it, are fronts for the criminal enterprise

of a ruthless gangster called Mr. Big. During

the encounter, Bond also meets Teehee Johnson,

Big's enforcer who has a deadly mechanical arm,

and the alluring solitaire, a virginal tarot

card reader and fortune teller in Mr. Big's employ.

After Bond is ejected from the restaurant, he

follows Kananga back to San Monique, where he

also meets rookie CIA agent Rosie Carver. Bond

begins to suspect Rosie as a double agent and

his suspicions are confirmed when she is killed

while they are exploring near Kananga's home.

Later on, Bond sneaks into the house and, using

a stacked deck of tarot cards, seduces Solitaire

in hopes of learning what Kananga is up to. Fearing

Kananga's wrath for allowing Bond into her bed,

Solitaire goes with Bond back to New Orleans,

and while escaping, they discover the presence

of Voodoo and the priest Baron Samdy on the island

is the means of keeping people away from massive

poppy fields. After escaping Kananga's men at

an airport, Bond goes with Felix to check out

the New Orleans fillet of Soul Restaurant. When

Felix is lured away from the table, it descends

into the floor and Bond is brought before Mr.

Big, who demands to know if Bond slept with Solitaire.

When Bond doesn't tell, Big begins pulling the

flesh from his face, revealing himself to be

Kananga in disguise. In typical Bond villain

fashion, Kananga then reveals his plot. The Poppyfields

have produced two tons of heroin that Kananga

is going to give away for free from his restaurants,

driving the mafia out of business and assuring

him a drug monopoly at the same time. Kananga

also tests Solitaire's abilities, threatening

to harm Bond if she is wrong. She fails, though

Kananga doesn't let on that she does, and Bond

is taken away. Kananga then angrily slaps Solitaire

for a perceived betrayal because as a result

of Bon's libido, Solitaire has lost her ability

to see the future. Kananga then leaves her in

the hands of Baron Samdi to be sacrificed at

a voodoo ceremony that night. Bond is turned

over to T. He, who takes 007 to a crock farm

in the Louisiana backwoods. Bond is left on a

small sandbar to be eaten by the reptiles, but

he escapes by running over the backs of a few

of them to the shore, and then sets fire to the

farmhouse, which is also Kananga's processing

center. Bond escapes on a boat and reunites with

Felix, who informs 007 that Kananga has taken

Solitaire back to San Monique. Bond heads for

Sammonique intent on rescuing Solitaire and stopping

Kananga once and for all. Bond interrupts the

voodoo sacrifice and rescues Solitaire while

an accomplice plants explosives that blow the

poppy fields to smithereens. Bond is holding

the attendees at bay when Baron Samdy pops right

out of a grave and the two fight. Bond defeats

Samdy by throwing the laughing madman into a

coffin full of snakes where he apparently dies.

Bond and Solitaire are soon captured again and

Kananga toys with them while searching Bond's

equipment, which includes a shark gun with these

gas pellets. Kananga has Bond and Solitaire lashed

to a crane lift near a grotto in his lair and

Kananga cuts Bond so his blood will bait some

sharks into the pool. Using his trick watch,

Bond gets free and battles with Kananga. Bond

manages to get Kananga to swallow one of the

gas pellets from his shark gun, which causes

the villain to inflate and then explode. As his

mission is now complete, Bond and Solitaire take

a trip back to New York City. Teehee tries to

get revenge on Bond during the trip, but he's

tossed out a window after a very violent struggle.

And the film ends with Bond and Solitaire enjoying

each other's company, while Baron Sandy sits

in the front of the speeding train and laughs

maniacally. Based on the second novel of the

Ian Fleming Bond series, Live and Let Die opened

in the summer of 1973 and was directed by Guy

Hamilton, who is returned for the third time

to the series. The film also marks the debut

of Sir Roger Moore in the role of 007, and the

film also featured veteran actor Yafit Kado as

Dr. Kananga, Jane Seymour as Bond's love interest

Solitaire, Julius Harris as the menacing Teehee

Johnson, David Hedison as Felix Leiter, the fifth

actor to play the role in the series so far,

and Jeffrey Holder as the maniacal Baron Samdy,

who I have to say is one of my favorite Bond

villains. Dude seemed to enjoy his work. Labeled

by some fans as the Blaxploitation Bond film,

Live and Let Die drew some negative criticism

from critics because of the racial overtones

of the plot. Screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz said

that was because the Black Panthers and other

such groups were very active at the time, and

he thought it would be daring to use Black villains.

Modern critics are a little more fair about the

racial angle, most comment on the plot and the

direction. Dave Carr, the Chicago reader, in

his review, said that Guy Hamilton's direction

was lackluster and the art direction, sometimes

considered the high point of a Bond film, was

cheaper in comparison to some of the others.

Roger Ebert echoed this, saying the movie did

not have the wit and charm of the previous Bond

films. An internet movie critic, Rob Vo, enjoyed

the film, saying the racism was overcome by the

fun inherent in the film. and Nick Rogers of

Sweet101 .com applauded the film, calling it

a fine introduction to a 007 more prone to crack

wise than crack heads. As I said before, this

was the beginning of Roger Moore's 007, a role

he held for 12 years, becoming the longest -serving

actor in the series. Not only that, but Sean

Connery himself gave Moore his approval to take

over the role after turning down the then unheard

of $5 .5 million he was offered to return. And

though the film was based on the second of the

Bond novels, plot elements of the book would

later influence Bond films for Your Eyes Only

and License to Kill. And here's something you

may not know. United Artists wanted an American

to play Bond. I know, right? Some of the manly

men quartered for the role included the bandit

himself, Burt Reynolds, Paul Newman, and Robert

Redford. And finally, the movie's theme song

was provided by Paul McCartney in Wings, which

became the most popular Bond theme to date, and

charted as high as number two on the Billboard

charts. While watching Live and Let Die, I was

struck by two thoughts. One is, yeah, this is

totally a Bond version of Blaxploitation movie.

And two, that while he may have been more jokey

than Connery, Roger Moore was no less capable

of putting foot to ass while portraying the suave

and debonair James Bond. He is one of my favorite

Bonds, and he delivers one of my all -time favorite

Bond lines. This has been Just the Facts for

Live and Let Die. I'm JT from Saskatoon. Back

to you, Mike. Thank you once again, JT, for providing

us with the plot of the film. So let's talk about

the cast a bit. You've got Roger Moore as James

Bond. What do we think of Moore in this first

outing? He's definitely different than what came

before. His comedic style is more evident, I

would say. I think he's comfortable with the

role. I think this is not his best performance.

I was listening to an interview with him and

he was talking about How he knew he could not

do action like Connery did so he was like, okay,

but I have a better sense of humor So I'm gonna

play on that angle and I think we see that started

here. But I think he's he's good I I know he's

very decisive with fans because Some people love

him think he's the best some people think he's

the worst. I'm kind of indifferent I think he's

some highs he has some lows, but in this one,

I think he's rather in between liked him he was

cool I thought it was all right it's mainly the

film itself that I have a problem with it's just

not first of all the plot really free two tons

of free heroin to put other drug barons out of

business Seriously, that's that's the plot of

this film. It's a very odd choice. Yeah, not

many villains are in charity Even if it's drug

charity, but yeah, it is a strange movie And

that's a common theme with a lot of the Roger

Moore movies is the plot is often You know insert

whatever evil maniacal plan here for whatever

reason to take over the world or whatnot So yeah,

this is kind of a good Start in what is the common?

Marjorie Moore's era as Bond. Yeah, I like more

in this I thought he was I thought he was pretty

good is his first outing yeah fit Kato is dr.

Kananga slash mr. Big I liked him I Did not recognize

until I looked at the script and some of the

information did not even, even after listening

to JT's Justifacts, did not realize that Solitaire

is Dr. Quinn medicine woman. Holy shit. Yeah,

I know. I felt a little dirty. I'm like, wait,

that's Jane Seymour. I'm like, that's I got to

take a cold shower now because it just seems

wrong because I don't know. Growing up watching

that show it's and you see more as like a mother

figure in a way than this sex symbol So it was

off -putting. They know that it's like it doesn't

know that can't be right. It must be a different

Jane Seymour It's like no, it's the same person.

So it's the same person you also have The Roger

Moore era of Jack Wade in Sheriff JW Peppa I

love him. Really? I love J .W. He's awesome.

You don't like him, do you? No, I can't. In this

movie, he's not too bad. This movie, I can take

him. It's more so when we get Future Pepper,

where he kind of goes all out, that I'm like,

OK. This one, I think he's used in parts, but

he's not as bad. But we'll talk about him more

with the next episode. But yeah. I absolutely

loved him in this. I thought it was great. Because

again, during this film you're getting that car

chase through the bayou and everything else.

He's not acting, he's reacting. I'm not saying

that the actor, Clifton, I've already scrolled

past his name, I'm not saying... That the actor

is a bad actor. I'm just saying that the way

that he was playing that role is it's it's a

reactionary role because you have to react to

everything Bond is doing. Yeah, I don't have

an issue with the performance. I just have I

like I mentioned this one. He just don't like

the character. Yeah, he I don't know like with

with Connery or not. I'm sorry with more. It's

definitely more comedic and he's he has his moments.

I mean, there's moments. I'm not gonna lie. I

laughed at what he said, but it just I don't

know. I'm not eager for more pepper, but we do

certainly get some. Overall, the plot of the

film is just so thin. It's like a weekly 70s

cop serial drama is what this movie is. I think

it's an hour too long. if you or just shorten

it. You don't have to cut out that entire scene

of them running through the forest and then she

eventually ends up dead. Shorten it. Yeah, so

I mean if that scene was just cut a little bit

instead of them running through the forest all

that time, you could still have her death, but

have it come fast. Just quicken the pace a bit.

Yeah, I mean there are a lot of little subplots

and things here and there that could have been

edited a little bit better. I mean a few of the

action sequences do tend to meander and not go

well. I mean I love the The boat sequence chase

and I think that's a lot of fun, but that does

go on for a long time I mean, I don't know how

much time Exactly, but it felt like a 10 11 12

minute sequence, which is quite a long time for

an action sequence I mean they do shoe in a lot

of comedy there to kind of you know, let it yeah

expand but I never felt it was long. I guess

I I never had an issue with regarding the time

too much Maybe because I I watched a lot of long

movies per se and a lot of older movies that

are a lot slower than this but I guess if you're

not if you don't watch a lot of movies during

this time period or if you're more used to like

the movies of today where things are certainly

a lot quicker and the pace is not nearly as Inconsistent

as this I could see why I would drag for you

Yeah Alright, so getting into some of my highlights

first thing I wrote down Roger Moore is a breath

of fresh air compared to last week Yeah, unlike

unlike Lazenby. He was not replacing a legend

I think people are just happy to have someone

else so I think I think it worked in his favor

for sure so I love the opening scene with Bond,

M and Moneypenny. I thought that was just hilarious.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And more plays it really well.

He does have really good comedic timing and he

works in those scenes. And that was a pretty

interesting way to introduce him to us. Like

he kind of was brought to us right away. We talked

about in last episode with Lazenby how they slowly

kind of revealed him. Same thing with Sean Connery

and this one he kind of Roger Moore is throwing

at us right away. Yeah. Yeah, let's see again.

I have to come in the as as we, you know, advance

through the through the Bond franchise. I got

to come in the driving scenes again because that

early driving scene when they're when he. He

uses something on the car to blow out her tire.

Yeah, the little missiles inside of the rear

view mirror or not the side mirror No, it was

the time. Oh, yes. I'm sorry. That was later

on. Okay. Yes. I know it was later I thought

it was early. Well, there's a couple of them.

I know what when you're talking about. Yeah Yeah,

the one where he uses the The things to deflate

the tire is like corrode the tire I love that

driving scene because it reminds me of the way

I drive in Grand Theft Auto Yeah, I'm glad it's

Grand Theft Auto, not in real life. That's for

sure. Yeah. Quarrel Jr., question mark, question

mark, question mark. Yeah. I'd be worried that

he would re -team up with Bond. It's like, yeah,

you remember when you worked with my dad and

he burned alive? I'm going to come back and work

with you now. It was a strange choice. But it

was a nice little callback to Dr. No, I guess.

Yeah, it was a nice little callback. But at the

same time, does this? Prove or disprove the fan.

I would almost think this disproves the fan theory

if If you're looking at James Bond as one person

played by many actors If you're looking at the

character as one character and not However many

individual characters, you know per actor, you

know what I mean? I love the card trick that

card trick was awesome Best reason to use a card

trick too. So Yeah, I I love the the the use

of music in this you did not get this last week

in honor majesty secret service I don't even

remember one scene in that film that had the

bond theme behind Lays and B There was really

one but the the main song was more of a love

ballad that they used for the romantic angle

But yeah, I agree. I love how they used the song

in this. It's great. Even with yellow Good, even

when it's just instrumental. It's it's when it

goes in high octane when it's really going it's

perfect and I love it it's one of it's honestly

my favorite Bond song and I feel it's best used

in this more so than any other Bond movie yeah

um well I would argue that when we get to a certain

era coming up um but uh no the Bond theme I love

that the use of that throughout and the I didn't

even know there was an instrumental of Live and

Let Die That's what I'm finding out about a couple

of these Roger Moore aspects is that they've

used instrumentals of the title song and I absolutely

love how they've incorporated it into the film.

It makes so much sense, especially if you have

a song that is the same name as the film and

using that tone. I really like that. The trapdoor

table my god overall the use of the music absolutely

awesome. I love that trapdoor table Yeah, it's

great for any it's a great way to get rid of

unwelcome bass at any club or bar scene Yeah

What did you like about this one? A lot of people

bring this up when they talk about this movie,

but it's basically taking Bond and putting him

in a Black Exploitation movie. You mentioned

it's like him in a cop drama, and that's kind

of how it is. And I think it works. It's a random

combination that is very effective. It's like

Scooby -Doo and Gilligan's Island on the same

show. They're two different formats. They're

similar in some ways, but they're different.

But when you put them together, they're... Negatives

kind of cancel each other out and it's kind of

they work and I and I like that I loved how dr.

Karamanga and mr. Big how every every henchmen

he had had some random characteristic They're

all very colorful characters. You know, you have

Sam the the voodoo doctor who I love I love that

performance. I love that character is one of

my favorite bond henchmen, you know, you have

the huge Guy with a soft voice a dude with a

crazy claw arm. It's like just this huge rogues

gallery of random crazy villain. So I am and

I think with Live and Let Die, it's a movie that's

kind of a mess in a way, but it's a fun mess

that it's a guilty pleasure for me. I think I

enjoy this movie more than I should. And it's

a lot of it just because it's fun. It's colorful.

It's a good time. I can forgive most of the low

lights because I think the highlights are there.

They're ones I really enjoy seeing. The action

sequences are fun. They're big and they're they're

bold. I also love the Roger Moore's watch gadget

that he uses. It's a cool way to kick off the

gadgets in the Moore era because he gets some

crazy toys to play with and I love the little

watch gadget and all the different components

it has. Yeah. Magnetism at its finest. Yeah.

I liked how in the one scene where he's with

all the crocodiles and you see him using it trying

to bring the boat over and it doesn't work. Yeah,

and he has to kind of jump on top of those alligators

and you know, what's really crazy is that that

really happened That was really they had a stunt

double who really jumped on top of alligators

I'm sure there were some fake alligators in there,

but it really Wasn't a real action sequence.

Obviously not with more but that that kind of

blew my mind when I went back to that Yeah Well,

the reason why it didn't work with the boat is

because the boat was tied up. It wasn't because

of the fact that the alligators or the crocodiles

were blocking it. The boat was short. Yeah. I'm

just saying, I liked how he had to use something

else. He couldn't just rely on all the symmetry.

Yeah. Yeah, that whole scene with him in the

alligator pit and everything else, I thought

that was well done. Again, I'm not a fan of of

voodoo stuff in general. I'm just not a fan of

television shows and and And films using, you

know voodoo That's just not my thing The whole

scene at the end With with him looking for Caramanga

or mr. Big or whatever his name is whoever the

hell he is The whole thing there, it just, again,

something that could have been cut down by three

or four or five minutes. Yeah, I agree. There's

a few things that could have been shortened or

didn't need to be there. Lot of the little plot

elements or we almost that could have been tighter

There are certain action sequences that went

on longer than they should or some some, you

know dialogue that was kind of pointless and

it's just okay We get it we get what the point

is. You don't need to make it as complicated

as you're doing so You know Did you? Do you have

anything else you like about this one? No, that's

pretty much it. It's a movie I think I like more

than I should. And it's just because it's colorful

and it's a lot of fun. It's a guilty pleasure.

I think there's many issues with it. And we'll

get to that with the low lights. But I think

it's completely different. It's not like Connery.

It's not like Lazenby. It's a different era altogether.

It's almost like a brand new era, just a reinvention

of the way a Bond film is done. It still borrows

from certain aspects of the Connery era, essentially

ignoring Lazenby. Yeah, they try to make you

forget that ever happened. It's like, yeah, that

movie never existed. That movie is not in continuity.

Yeah, I mean the act it's not as serious as it

gets the best way to put it It's more it's more

fun. Even when it gets serious. It's kind of

campy seriousness I don't think you ever really

worried or there's any type of sorrow or anything

like that. It's just a fun time I've already

pretty much brought up both of my lowlights several

times. In watching this, I was seriously not

liking the voodoo and all the snake stuff. I

did not care for that. First of all, I'm deathly

afraid of snakes, so I didn't care for that at

all. And again, I felt the film was way too long.

Than what it should have been. So what are some

of the things you don't like about it? Um, I

think roger moore and he's not really a low light

But I think he's still not completely comfortable

with the bro. You almost sense his nervousness

at times He's not as convincing. I I never I

never buy roger moore as an action star and I

never buy him in the more romantic or this like

Playboy type character A lot has to do with his

age. He's not he's 44 already in this which he

doesn't seem that old. He's I mean, I never would

have guessed he was 44, but I never I never bought

him as this debonair type of guy And you mentioned

how it's too long and I think a lot of that was

a plot was overly convoluted Like the big revealed

that dr. Kananga and mr. Big were the same person

was like a surprise for surprise sake It meant

nothing and had no real impact and I didn't it

never really fully explained like why they were

even Doing that really to my knowledge or if

they did it. It wasn't very effective. It just

it's something they could have got rid of I don't

think they really had to reveal that oh, they're

really the same person I mean the scene that

they did it was freaky. I'm like, why is he pulling

off his face? But uh, yeah, it was strange, but

I that's really my biggest little lights. We

talked about pepper I Could do without him. I

would say I don't hate him in this. I just I

think he's unnecessary and I think One thing,

the sequence when he is driving or Bon is driving

the double decker bus, that's a pretty fun sequence,

but that's another one that goes on for too long.

It kind of, it seems like he's just driving and

there's no point to it. And they could have cut

that down, I think a little bit more. I mean,

once he, once he hits the bridge, that's really

all you need with that sequence. Like, like start

it out, like. two seconds or two or three seconds

five or ten seconds maybe before he hits the

bridge and and the and the top half of the bus

goes off um and then obviously you know finish

it out but uh but yeah i i agree that that's

again this film while there are a lot of good

points about it it's Just filled with moments

that drag on yeah, and some some of the campiness

does get too high at points And I think they

knew that bond or that more is not that great

in the action sequences So what they do is they

really amp up all the stunts and this we kind

of see some here with the boat you know jumping

across the road that a real -life stunt and The

more films have some of the best stunts. I think

ever But I think the reason that they have them

is because, OK, he's not very convincing in the

fights and that type of action. So let's make

the bigger actions more believable and more out

of this world. Yeah. Yeah. Anything else you

didn't like about it? No, we pretty much talked

about all. all my dislikes for the most part.

I don't think it's a perfect movie, like we mentioned.

It's one that I think is eye rolling at times,

but with some of the jokes and the puns and whatnot,

the voodoo stuff is a little unbelievable. You

can't like, is it supposed to be real? Are they

saying it's just, are they just playing it for

laughs? What are they doing with it? It's not

really completely clear, but I mean, I found

it fun. I love other locales, but that's pretty

much all I really have to say about. Live or

let die. I thought the funeral scenes were creepy

as hell. Yeah, those were kind of scary in a

way. It's like all these people are just okay

with this guy getting shot already. But yeah,

that was interesting. I love the brass band,

you know, slow walk to death that each of those

characters got. Yeah, that was that was a little

nuts So we are gonna head to a quick commercial

break and we're gonna come back with some final

thoughts on live and let die And when you download

cast radio Alright some final thoughts on live

and let die sir I think it's a great way to introduce

Roger Moore. Let us know kind of give it a good

idea of what's to come with his eras bond It's

I think This movie is kind of it's odd. It's

strange putting bond in a black exploitation

movie, but it works It's fun if you're willing

to kind of turn your brain off at moments and

allow it to be cheesy I think you can have a

lot of fun with it Yeah, I Up until this recording

and up until listening to JT earlier in the episode

had no idea that Dr. Quinn was a bond girl that

just creeps me the hell out. I don't know. Overall,

I enjoyed the moments, you know, the good moments

in it, the funny moments in it, the comedy in

it, and I enjoyed that, but I can't help but

say it again. The film was just too damn long.

We hope you enjoyed the Bond film review here

join us next week when we'll be talking about
