From Raddish with Lettuce

Laura and Charlotte are going on another mission with 007! They're covering Sean Connery's second film as the classic spy: From Russia With Love. They discuss Connery's Bond, his disappointing Bond girl, how well the film ages, and more. Laura explains why she thinks Tatiana Romanova is the worst Bond girl yet, and why she thinks the execution of Blofeld as a villain worked. Charlotte struggles with enjoying Bond's dated treatment of women, but appreciates the film's setup of many trademark Bond tropes. Together the girls highlight which gadgets they liked the most, which action scenes were the most thrilling, and which plot points slowed the film down. Does From Russia With Love set up this long franchise's most notable elements? Does the film's old-style pacing affect its storytelling abilities? And is helicopter tag the most James Bond thing to ever happen?

For Fun & Games, Laura and Charlotte decide to mix fandoms by playing a round of Sorting Hat. Is James a Gryffindor or a Slytherin? Comment to let us know what you think? They also take a Brainfall quiz to find out Which Type of Martini they are.
