United States2 years ago - Hate I missed you guys at Gatherall 6!
Really enjoyed your building a spy movie segment! It’s interesting that even prior to Bond, spy movies had certain tropes…Bond just did them better and they evolved into a formula that sustained the longest running movie franchise in history. Wish I could’ve connected with you at Gatherall! Had I known you were going to be there, I’d have searched you out! It was an incredible weekend that I will never forget, especially the shooting range event!

Robert Davi’s interview will make you appreciate him even more and will make you want... more

Apple Podcasts5Mxsandy12United States4 years ago - Interview with Roberto Schaefer, Quantum of Solace
Belatedly listened to all 100+ minutes of the interview - superb, with many new (to me ) insights on the making of QoS, and confirmation of the difficulties that I feel are poorly understood by Bond fans - MGM, the Writers strike, the proposed Actors strike and of course the Great Financial Crisis. Great guy, fantastic cinematographer and above all, a very easy listen. Congrats guy!
