That’s right. We watched ‘Agent Cody Banks,’ talked for over an hour about it, and all agreed that at the very least it definitely wasn’t the worst thing we’ve watched for our podcast. Check out Gentlemen Prefer Bonds’ latest episode in which we discuss this 2003 family-friendly super spy romp starring professional NASCAR driver Frankie Muniz! We’ll talk about how the CIA using children as deniable assets is actually kind of believable, how Keith David is way too attracted to a hologram training bot, how some actors (like, I don’t know, Ian McShane?) can still be charming as they phone in their performances, and as a bonus we list our favorite movies starring TV actors.

Ever heard the one about the dashing super spy whose wife and daughter thought he was just a boring businessman? Did terms like “super spy” or “businessman” immediately make you think Arnold Schwarzenegger? If not perhaps it’s time to rewatch ‘True Lies,’ a movie that’s aged about as well as that time we saw Roger Moore’s James Bond realize in real time that women could be doctors. Check out Gentlemen Prefer Bonds’ new episode, in which we discuss James Cameron’s 1994 blockbuster, and then name our favorite Cameron and Schwarzenegger flicks!

He gained international fame playing an English spy and then won an Oscar playing an Irish cop — did you really think a little thing like history’s strongest Scottish accent was going to stop Sean Connery from playing a Russian submarine captain? Check Out Gentlemen Prefer Bonds’ new episode in which we discuss John McTiernan’s 1990 blockbuster ‘The Hunt for Red October!’ Would Harrison Ford have made this movie better or would Alec Baldwin actually have improved the next two Jack Ryan flicks? Did ‘Red October’ provide Connery the best wig he ever wore? And do you know what year the U.S. Navy banned smoking on their submarines?

Remember ‘Spies Like Us’? It’s the movie where Chevy Chase is the lazy dummy who gets the girl and Dan Aykroyd is the smart one who, well, also gets the girl. It’s an ‘80s comedy with a Paul McCartney theme song (which the director has since called “terrible”) that cost 22 million dollars(!) and shot on location in the Sahara Desert and Norway — it got terrible reviews and was still a big hit. Check out Gentlemen Prefer Bonds’ new episode in which we discuss John Landis’ 1985 espionage buddy farce and as a bonus each list our favorite Aykroyd & Chase flicks!

It’s my happening baby and it freaks me out! Gentlemen Prefer Bonds is taking a break from 007 himself and branching out into a mini-series discussing some of our favorite movies that influenced or were influenced by the Bond franchise. This week that means one of the funniest films of the ‘90s — ‘Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery!’ Join us as we unpack all the best ways the film spoofs Bond (as well as pretty much everything else from the the 1960s), debate whether this is the best of the three Powers flicks and, as a bonus, list each of our personal Mount Rushmores of film parodies.

The Impossible Mission Force may get the job done with all those elaborate masks, but my guy James Bond knows all you really need for a workable disguise is a good fake ni**le slapped on your chest. If you’ve been following our show you may remember we recorded a ‘Golden Gun’ episode at the beginning of this year, only to lose the whole darn thing to a silly technical difficulty! Not to worry — we’ve revisited the film and are back with a fresh take and an additional friend and commentator for good measure! Why not mix yourself a martini and join us as we discuss mushroom-shaped rocks, how to treat women and small people with respect, bigoted Louisiana sheriffs who choose to vacation in Thailand, how to build a budget fun-house-death-maze and everything else to do with the second Roger Moore Bond flick!
