8 | !!Reviews: |
9 | * ''Film/DrNo'' (feat. ''Film/CasinoRoyale1954'') |
10 | * ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'' |

12 | * ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'' |
13 | |
14 | ---- |
15 | !!Provides examples of: |
16 | * AffectionateParody: [[OncePerEpisode Every review]] begins with a parody of the infamous BondGunBarrel. |
17 | * BigLippedAlligatorMoment: What Rick considers Bond's missing hat in Film/{{Thunderball}}. He stops just short of [[InvokedTrope invoking it by name]]. |
18 | * CausticCritic: Rick was ''not'' a fan of ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'', especially after hailing ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'' as a nearly perfect ''Bond'' film that could compete with films ''today''. |
19 | * {{Cliffhanger}}: The ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'' review ends with TheReveal that [[spoiler: Ben is suing Rick]]. |
20 | ** LeftHanging: More than two and a half months have passed since ''Thunderball'', with no sign of ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'' beyond [[WordOfGod "soon"]]. |
21 | * CoverVersion: Episode outros starting with ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'' feature members of the LetsPlay/TheDPad team performing (usually) parodies of the films' theme songs. |
22 | ** ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'': C/J performs a karaoke-style version of the theme. |
23 | ** ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'': Ben performs the theme in the style of Fred Schneider of Music/TheB52s. |
24 | ** ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'': FullHeartLaserSword performs a cover of Music/JohnnyCash's "Thunderball" theme, ending with the final line of Music/TomJones's version. |
25 | * MoodWhiplash: There is a distinct tonal shift between the reviews of ''Goldfinger'' and ''Film/{{Thunderball}}''. |
26 | * MoralEventHorizon: What Rick considers the RapePortrayedAsRedemption subplot of ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}''. He's too disgusted to even talk about the UnfortunateImplications of Bond's hypothesis that he "must have appealed to [Pussy Galore's] [[ChildByRape maternal instincts]]" to cause her HeelFaceTurn. |
27 | * OfficialCouple: The ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'' review is set against Rick and co-reviewer Sarah's actual second anniversary. |
28 | * OneWordTitle |
29 | * {{Portmantitle}}: The show's title is a {{Portmanteau}} of "series" and "seriously". [[DontExplainTheJoke This had to be explained to the show's first commenter.]] |
30 | * TheReveal: The one suing Rick for failing to give proper credit... is [[spoiler: Ben]]. |
31 | * RunningGag: After watching the ''Climax!'' version of ''Casino Royale'', Rick falls asleep at even the mention of baccarat. |
32 | ** M's office is constantly full of pot smoke after Moneypenny describes their efforts in ''Film/DrNo'' as "burning the air between here and Jamaica". |
33 | * TheStoner: M, of all people. |
