Part 4 of James Bond Sidecars: George Lazenby

In this episode, Eric Andrew, Rob, and Mike dive deep into the oddity that is "Fox Hunt," the 1996 interactive movie/video game mashup that dared to blend live-action slapstick comedy with ’90s-era full-motion video gaming. This time Eric Picked the James Bond Side Car for Georg Lazenby! This installment marks the finale of the Society’s James Bond “sidecar” arc—an exploration of unusual projects by former Bond actors—where the spotlight falls on George Lazenby’s truly unique post-Bond endeavor. Our hosts dissect everything from the messy plot and wild tone to the unexpected cast, which includes Rob Lowe, Gary Coleman, and an original score by Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo. Along the way, they debate whether "Fox Hunt" is an overlooked cult treasure or a relic better left, well, forgotten. Tune in for laughs, in-depth analysis, and plenty of nostalgia (and, yes, a few jokes about questionable production decisions and nipple-whipping). Whether you love hidden gems or just want to hear about one of the strangest Bond alumni projects ever made, this episode is sure to entertain!

Part 3 of James Bond Sidecars: Sean Connery

In this week's episode, our hosts Andrew, Eric, and Rob,take a dive deep into the shadowy world of 19th-century Pennsylvania coal mines as they dissect Mike’s Pick for Sean Connery’s Bond the 1970 historical drama "The Molly Maguires," starring Sean Connery and Richard Harris. Kicking things off, the crew reminisces about their favorite Sean Connery films (with more than a few detours into his most extravagant and occasionally questionable roles), before Mike takes us on a journey into the grim realities of coal mining, labor unrest, and undercover intrigue. The hosts debate the effectiveness of the film’s stark, dialogue-free opening, share laughs about Connery’s never-changing accent, and dig into why the movie’s message, pacing, and even its very name may have doomed it to box office obscurity. Along the way, they highlight the historically murky legacy of the real Molly Maguires, the impact of labor struggles, and the surprisingly pivotal role of a barroom brawl. Is this a story about fighting back—or does it simply reinforce a sense of inevitability and defeat? And would anyone have seen this film if it was called "The Irish Boom Booms"? Grab a seat around our (figurative) pub table as we unearth the forgotten history, cinematic curiosities, and lasting question of why this rare cut remains such a seldom-seen piece of Connery’s legacy. All this and more on this episode of Rare Cuts Media Society!
