This week, Jamie O’Duibhir of the Anti-Church stream on Twitch joins us for a big Bond fight as Macintosh and Maud are throwing down on which of the Craig Bond films will be crowned the champion. Maud’s already gone on record as saying Casino Royale is the greatest Bond movie ever, or at least in the running. But Macintosh thinks this might be the movie to beat. Why, you ask? Well for one thing, this movie, directed by Great Director Sam Mendes with legend and master cinematographer Roger Deakins, is the most beautifully shot and crafted Bond film to date. Yet it’s also the most quintessentially James Bond film in a long time, with images and character elements that feel like they’ve transported right back to Sean Connery’s vision of the character. Add a healthy dose of Judi Dench, finally taking a major role, along with a badass new Moneypenny, and you’re really cooking with gas in this new era of Bond. We make the case for Skyfall this week on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!
