History YMMV / KillJamesBond

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: The hosts all believe that the villain of ''{{Film/Skyfall}}'', who has very clear parallels to the Bond of ''Film/DieAnotherDay'' - he was a favored agent of M's, he was captured and M made no effort to retrieve him, he was expected to kill himself and ''tried'' - should have been played by Piers Brosnan. And also not just dove off into being evil, but that's a complaint they often have about villains who raise good points which are not addressed.

* {{Narm}}: In ''Patriot Games'', Harrison Ford's grave, anguished "They had to take out her ''spleen''" was very funny to November.
* NarmCharm: In contrast, Abi felt the heartbreak of the scene and said that as someone with young relatives she understood how upsetting it would be to have one of them hurt in that way, leading November to quip "Maybe there's just something wrong with me."
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: In the bonus episode on ''Film/OSS117CairoNestOfSpies'', Abi mentions a terrible Francophile ex and her lingering sense of unease at hearing a lot of spoken French which initially gave her trouble starting the film, but also that actually watching a French film that made her laugh helped banish that unease and create new memories.

* DesignatedHero: The hosts love to point out when Bond, or any other protagonist, is quite unheroic or performing criminal acts (such as shoving a child off a boat). Special mention goes to Inspector Fan Sing-Ling of ''Film/TheManFromHongKong'', who brings a violence and intensity that would be appropriate to stopping a world-ending threat to a movie where the villain's entire plan is "sell heroin", and who kills a ''lot'' of people in the process.

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Derogatively. The hosts all adore ''Zardoz'' and are very impressed with Sean Connery's acting in it, finding it quite nuanced and lamenting that he hadn't brought anything on this level to the Bond films.

* TransAudienceInterpretation: The hosts are always on the lookout for trans interpretations and point these out. Usually it's a joke - every medication is estradiol for instance - but not always.

* BrokenBase: While the hosts often have minor disagreements the episode on '' Film/FirstBlood'' had an unsually intense argument between Alice and Abigail regarding Rambo and Sylvester Stallone' s performance. Alice highlighted the politics of the movie (which she strongly disagreed with) and found Stallone awful. Abigail, though conceding the political argument found Stallone's performance and characterisation of Rambo very powerful and impressive.

** The episode on "A Queen's Ransom" begins with Alice requesting that the listeners put the hosts' positive comments about actor George Lazenby in the proper historical context of "us recording this several days ago," due to Lazenby making homophobic and misogynistic comments (otherwise refered to as him having "Said Some Shit") during a live interview literally the day after the episode was recorded. This incident also lead Alice to jokingly(?) announce "the institution of a new format" known as [[DoesNotLikeMen The Misandry Hour]], which "starts now and does not end."
--->'''Alice:''' The lesson I would draw from this is to "Trust no Bond," and especially to trust no male actor working in the '60s. We apologize in advance for all of the nice things that we said about a man who we believed--falsely, it seems--to be basically okay. We hope you're still able to enjoy the episode, and thank you for your patience.

** A bit in one episode where Abigail complains about Alice's partner Sophie From Mars[[note]]her name was bleeped in the episode but she owned up to it on twitter[[/note]] vaping in her house, and Alice insists that "she's not my girlfriend, she just puts cigarettes out on me" was recorded a few weeks before Alice publically cut ties with Sophie for various consent violations including one that gave her cigarette burns.

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Abi was delighted at the effort that Creator/RonPerlman put into ''Film/TheNameOfTheRose'' - he wasn't given much of a script, so to play a character who spoke erratically in several languages, he got copies of ''Literature/TheNameOfTheRose'' in several languages and pieced together his own dialogue. Even if the movie is bad, Abi says, putting that kind of work in can make an actor shine and stand out, and hopefully get cast elsewhere.

* HarsherInHindsight: The episode on "A Queen's Ransom" begins with Alice requesting that the listeners put the hosts' positive comments about actor George Lazenby in the proper historical context of "us recording this several days ago," due to Lazenby being homophobic, misogynistic, and otherwise having "Said Some Shit" during a live interview literally the day after the episode was recorded.
