A review of Casino Royale, circa 1967

Hold the Aston Martins!

What just happened?

Uh, hello dear listeners....assuming there are any of you left.

Mathieu and Edgar aren't sure what happened a couple of days ago on April 1st.

Our memories are a bit hazy.

All we can remember is sitting down to record a balanced, honest review of "Casino Royale" 1967 in our studio at restaurant Chez Edgar, and then maybe noticing some funny pills in our drinks.

Before it was too late, we were both hiccupping strange, cartoon animated and multicoloured puffs of smoke before blacking out.

But we've returned from wherever we were!

Yes, we figured it was high time we give the 60s spoof version of Casino Royale a fair shake.

In fact, there is a lot of shaking and rattling in this episode.

Alas, the film has become something of a punching bag within the Bond fan community, but is the dubious reputation warranted?

Tune in this week to find out!

And just in case any of you are hesitant to listen to a review of this much maligned movie, we'd like to point out that "the double taking pigeon is never attentive to the passerby that chooses not to commute with an inflatable gondola in the street, but rather, must always look twice at the passerby that drives such a vehicle." Don't understand the connection?

Ah, you will.

You will!
