In part two of our discussion of Goldfinger, we begin by sharing some truly excellent listener submitted re-casting suggestions, as well as which of our choices from part one were the big winners. Then we move on to discussing lots of elements of both the original movie, and how we think it could be remade today, including spy movie cliches (many of which come from the original movie), misogyny and sexism, playful vs. deadly serious tone, and what type of villain our remake should have. This is easily one of my favorite second half discussions yet!

Note: We recorded this episode before the amazing actor Christopher Lee passed away, so our referring to him as still being alive were right at the time, but sadly are not now. We would absolutely still want to see him as a Bond villain, or any role, really. You’ll be missed, Sir Lee.
