Ep# 34 - Deadpan International Bond Satires in the 60s

Sick and tired of Jenna torturing him with hours of terrible James Bond rip-offs, Bart takes the reins and chooses a mix of international bootleg Bonds that all have one very important thing in common: they make Bart laugh. How that is, or why that is, is the real question here; they border on enigmatic enough that even Bart isn’t too sure how to describe his sense of humor. Whatever it is, Modesty Blaise is certainly a big part of it.

In this episode, Bart and Jenna take a dive into Bart’s Choice of international, deadpan, satirical, meta, James Bond spoofs. They wrestle with the question of why it is James Bond has been so spoofed, remade and perpetuated throughout the entire world. They also do their best at trying to truly pin-point Bart’s sense of humor. You might ‘get it,’ you might not, but if nothing else you will definitely be introduced to some of the most memorable theme songs this side of “Goldfinger.”
