Monday Oct 25, 2021
Monday Oct 25, 2021
What's this? Another update in a semi timely manner?
Bored. James Bored. is back with YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, a movie featuring a gigantic Romulan, possibly Q's coolest gadget ever, and massive amounts of problematic stuff in a surprisingly good movie!
On a personal note, this has been a very tough year on me, and us, so we really appreciate anyone who's stuck around for all of the ups and downs. Thank You.

Saturday Oct 23, 2021
Hey guess what, we've got another project going! This is a bit different from our usual fare, this is a commentary track I recorded with my best friend Matt, meant to be played along with Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace!
This will be a longform retrospective of each theatrical release Star Wars film, from the two of us reminiscing about how we became friends because of Star Wars, how it's affected us, the way the movies are made and work, bits we like and don't like...the works.

Sword and Bored Presents: Bored. James Bored Episode 6: Casino Royale(1967)
Friday Jul 30, 2021
Friday Jul 30, 2021
And we're back to our usual standard of terrible films with 1967's CASINO ROYALE! We talk about the very, very few high points, how people got paid to be in it, the missed opportunities of multiple Bonds and how that could have affected the rest of the series, and what makes better parodies work!
Sword and Bored
Lars and Luke, Brothers in Arms, talking about every fantasy film they've ever seen, want to see, what makes them tick, what makes them not work, what's better, what's worse.
What we define as a fantasy: If it's readily apparent, if someone could or does pull out a sword and it doesn't require additional context to make sense, it's a fantasy. Raiders of the Lost Ark isn't a fantasy. The Mummy is.
This arbitrary definition will be used and ignored at a moments notice for comedy.
