I am sorry we forgot this one months ago, but let’s end this series! We leave the prequel and end up with the final entry into the saga, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Well, the last one for 19 years. I am sure the momentum will keep up when you save one of theRead More

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Well, this is the reason you all chose this series isn’t it? “Oh, Nic,” you thought, “Nic you FOOL! MUHAHAHAHA, this will teach you to trust democracy!” And you laughed! Well, listen here, guy. We survived Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and it was better than I remembered! Not much, butRead More

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

When last we left Indy, he had defeated the Nazis, saved the girl, and lost the Ark of the Covenant to bureaucratic red tape. However, this week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we find out where he was before that movie in the one that everyone used to think was the worst! We watched theRead More

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

So the story goes, Steven Spielberg wanted to direct a James Bond movie and the Broccolis said no to him. This was his response.  This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we fall back in love with a great character who doesn’t really matter in the plot of his own movie. We watched Indiana JonesRead More

(Indiana Jones and the) Raiders of the Lost Ark

Time for our August bonus! Remember our first spin-off show, the James Bond podcast Mission Briefing? Sure, you all do, our numbers prove that it was the most popular thing we did and now we are wasting on the vine. Well, Jon and I decided it should live on and promptly failed at that. SoRead More

The Music of James Bond

We did it! After a bit longer than expected, we have done all the James Bond Movies! I know, some of you may be sad, but don’t be! The series may be completed on the main feed, but it will continue on the Mission Briefing feed! OOOOOOOOOO! So exciting! We watched Daniel Craig as JamesRead More

Spectre

Man, this movie seems more recent, but after the disappointing Quantum of Solace, Skyfall returned Bond with gusto. Adele sings a brassy ballad and the audience swooned. Also, a good flick. We watched Daniel Craig as James Bond in Skyfall! This is the completed Mission Briefing spin-off of Myopia: Defend Your Childhood. Tune into the mainRead More

Skyfall

I know, I know, you are thinking about how bad this movie is or, rather, how much you disliked it. So, thank you for even looking. It is riddled with shaky-cam, it feels rushed, and it is not crazy or campy (so bad it is good). Yet, it is brutal and at time very real.Read More

Quantum of Solace

This week on Mission Briefing, we welcome a new Bond and say good-bye to an old one; RIP Roger Moore. We watched Daniel Craig as James Bond in Casino Royale! This is the completed Mission Briefing spin-off of Myopia: Defend Your Childhood. Tune into the main feed or catch up on all the Bond films! Host:Read More

Casino Royale

This week we say goodbye to Pierce with one of the worst concieved Bond movies of all time, Die Another Day. From every cinematic misstep, including the American team of Halle Berry and Michael Madsen, to the “English Team” featuring Madonna’s fake accent and Pierce’s creeping Irishness, no wonder the franchise died for awhile. We watchedRead More

Die Another Day (2002)

The only thing I need to say about this movie in order to see whether or not you remember it is “Christmas Jones.” This train wreck involves the death of Hagrid, M being kidnapped, and some serious Pierce Brosnan jaw acting. We watched Pierce Brosnan as James Bond in The World is Not Enough! ThisRead More

The World is Not Enough (1999)

Well, well, well. Fake news? Business taking over politics? Robotic cars? Bond in a BMW?!?!?! So fanciful! After the amazing Goldeneye, did Tomorrow Never Dies hold up? How did Pierce hold up? Will I answer any of these questions? Tune in to find out!  We watched Pierce Brosnan as James Bond in Tomorrow Never Dies! ThisRead More

Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)

Out with the oldish, in with the Irish! We watched Goldeneye for this Mission Briefing. I know what your are thinking, didn’t they already nostalgia all over this? Well, you are keen and thanks for listening! We did it again with the Mission Gaze! Pierce Brosnan replaced Tim Dalton! Nintendo 64 is mentioned, duh!  Tune inRead More

Goldeneye (1995)

So this film is, well, I guess, goodbye once again to another Bond. This we just got to know you! We end up with this film which starts with a wedding and ends with Felix Leiter being bitten in half. So, I guess paves the way for Joe Don Baker and Jimmy Bond, which isRead More

Licence to Kill (1989)

This week we introduce the new James Bond. He is rugged, he doesn’t make quips, and it is a darker grittier movie. I know what you’re thinking, are we talking about Daniel Craig? No, that’s crazy! They wouldn’t try to reboot the series is darker and grittier with a rugged James Bond doesn’t make quipsRead More

The Living Daylights (1987)

Mission:Briefing is our James Bond spin-off series. We watch every James Bond movie, one a week, in order, and compare each down to the smallest detail! Come back each week for a new episode.
