Episode 3 - James Bond - Goldfinger - "Scooby-Doo Style" - a podcast by Spectre Etc

Goldfinger - “Scooby-Doo Style”
Summary:
Welcome to SPECTRE etc. This is the James Bond podcast where we discuss the ins and the outs of each film. This week we continue the fun we had watching “From Russia with Love” by joining James for a roll in Auric’s hayshed in the third 007 outing: “Goldfinger”.

We follow Bond’s journey from the Fountainebleau in Miami - where he sends Dink on her way with an Oscar-winning slap - back to London for his meeting with Goldfinger at the golf course. And then we are off to Europe, where Bond shreds up Tilly’s undercarriage before doubling his contribution to the Masterson family’s grief. Next, we see Bond’s undercarriage get a little close to being shredded by Goldfinger’s laser, before we fly to the US (justifying MI6 spending all that time and money on the American parking meters) to meet Pussy Galore. The actors who play Auric’s gangster buddies give us all a lesson in subtlety and nuance, and then we break into Fort Knox to irradiate some gold.

Along the way, we wonder why MI6 can’t afford to make ALL windows on the DB5 bulletproof, we list Bond’s many electrical one-liners he could (should?) have used, we compare this film to both Scooby Doo and The Simpsons, and we spend far longer than you’d think possible on seagull snorkels.

Official SPECTRE etc Theory (OffSeT) #3: To determine who is responsible for an explosion, simply look for the man wearing a tuxedo, the one not joining the screaming masses leaving the building.
We note that this is the second time Bond sets off a bomb in a public place, and then just calmy swans about in his tuxedo, ignoring the crowd of people rushing from the site of the explosion. We here at SPECTRE Etc will let the appropriate authorities know, saving them hours of investigating.

And of course, keep checking back for a link to our petition to have SPECTRE recognised as an industry leader!
Worst Impersonation Trophy:
Ryan has blown the competition away by somehow - as correctly pointed out by Matt - confusing the suave Scottish spy James Bond with that mid-90s sex pest The Mask. Is there no limit to how badly Ryan can impersonate Connery? Somebody stop him!
