BOND PART I: From Russia With Love

Bond is back and soooooo much better. Like at least 79 million dollars better. [CONTENT WARNING: SUICIDE 17:30-18:30]

Hello and welcome again to Macintosh & Maud Haven't Seen What?! This week, we're much more excited for Bond as he travels through Turkey and the heart of the Soviet empire. He's more confident, smoother with the ladies, and has that fantastic Scottish brogue. Throw in some tough villains and an actual gadget and we're all in! Enjoy our review of Bond's 1963 adventure, From Russia With Love!
