What the corpus says about James Bond series

You are a clerk at Video Culture, a video store. A customer just finished James Bond series and wants to know what to watch next.

Below is what people who love movies said on three podcasts (Blank Check, The Rewatchables, The Big Picture) about James Bond series and the films around it, one line each. Every line starts with where it came from, in brackets: [show · episode · time · speaker (how sure we are it was them)]. A [pairs] line says how often two films were put side by side. A [speaker] line says what that person likes. A [bits] line lists a show's running bits: a format, not an opinion.

[The Rewatchables · ‘Skyfall’ · 0:46:41 · Chris Ryan (0.60)] James Bond series ⇒ The Dark Knight (the host's read) · lineage · Nolan's Batman films are read as a commentary on Bond. · "I think Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight movies are also a commentary on James Bond, if you look at them from one direction"
[The Rewatchables · ‘Skyfall’ · 1:17:28 · Amanda Dobbins (0.80)] Charlie's Angels ↔ James Bond series · contrast · A female Bond marketed to women risks becoming dumbed down like Charlie's Angels. · "I just saw Charlie's Angels, which is such a depressing example of what happens when they try to market these things to women"
[The Rewatchables · ‘Skyfall’ · 1:07:04 · Chris Ryan (0.50)] James Bond series · fun · Code name theory: Bond is a title passed to different men. · "It's called code name theory."
[The Rewatchables · ‘Skyfall’ · 1:28:45 · Sean Fennessey (0.35)] James Bond series · fun · Stunt-casting what-if: a Bond Netflix show would mean movies are dead. · "that how we know movies are dead. If Bond goes to Netflix."
[The Rewatchables · ‘Pulp Fiction’ (Part 2) · 0:26:50 · unknown (0.00)] Charlie's Angels ⇒ Fox Force Five (the host's read) · lineage · The five-women show is described as Charlie's Angels blown out in the mid 90s. · "There's 5 women who have these different Charlie's Angels blown out in the mid 90s"
[The Rewatchables · ‘Skyfall’ · 0:46:30 · Chris Ryan (0.60)] The Dark Knight ⇒ Skyfall (the host's read) · lineage · Mendes openly lifted the Dark Knight aesthetic and the orphan-avenging-sins idea. · "Mendy's just very openly lifted a lot of the Dark Knight aesthetic for these movies."
[Blank Check — Patreon · Iron Man 3 · 2:17:56 · Griffin Newman or David Sims (unlabeled) (0.40)] Brian Tyler ↔ Charlie's Angels · craft · The end-credits music is likened to 1970s TV theme songs, Charlie's Angels and Cagney and Lacey. · "This is like Charlie's Angels, like Cagney and Lacy."
[The Rewatchables · ‘Skyfall’ · 1:26:07 · Chris Ryan (0.50)] The Dark Knight ⇒ Silva (the host's read) · lineage · Silva's plan to be captured and gain M's attention is the Joker plot. · "essentially the Joker plot from Dark Knight."
[Blank Check — Patreon · The Killing · 1:28:00 · David Sims (0.35)] The Killing ⇒ The Dark Knight (the host's read) · lineage · The clown mask is said to look basically like the Joker mask Nolan pays homage to in The Dark Knight. · "Nolan obviously pays homage to in the Dark Knight"
[Blank Check — Patreon · The Lego Batman Movie · 0:15:06 · Griffin Newman (0.60)] The Dark Knight ⇒ The Lego Batman Movie (the host's read) · lineage · The Joker's need for Batman to see him as an enemy is read against the post-Dark Knight Joker. · "It's this thing of like, right, especially post Dark Knight, right?"
[The Big Picture · ‘Gladiator II’ Is Here. Are We Not Entertained? · 1:00:46 · Sean Fennessey (0.40)] Macrinus ↔ The Dark Knight · theme · Macrinus has no master plan and improvises like Heath Ledger's Joker. · "he's more of the Dark Knight, Heath Ledger Joker character, where he's sort of like, is, he does not have a master plan."
[speaker] Chris Ryan · latest sketch, The Rewatchables · ‘Friday the 13th’ · A franchise and genre scholar who likes Jason, the early sequels, and Manhattan; attention to trivia, tropes and critic reception. Treats slashers as a canon with tiers. · stances: Parts 1, 2, 4 and Manhattan are the good ones; The series finds its legs at 4
[speaker] Amanda Dobbins · latest sketch, The Big Picture · ‘Mamma Mia!’ Meets ‘The Strangers'! It’s a Movie Swap! · Loves The Strangers' withholding craft and a good tense horror film without gore, but likes fun, communal movies like Mamma Mia. She dislikes supernatural or gory horror, which irritates her more than it scares her. She is a sucker for stars and for Googling a movie mid-recording. · stances: The Strangers is scary because of what it doesn't show or explain; Ending explanation weakens it; no answer would be better; Prefers 'withholding' filmmaking; Defends Mamma Mia as joyful and intentional
[speaker] Sean Fennessey · latest sketch, The Big Picture · ‘Resident Evil’ Absolutely Rips! · Loves gory, funny, fast genre movies with craft and confidence, especially 87-minute films that never overstay. Can't stand ponderous elevated horror that fills out its runtime with introspection and sad family history. A sucker for the Carpenter-era lineage, Die Hard homages, and directors who break studio dogma. · stances: Resident Evil is one of the best films of the year; Horror movies have become a drag; fun genre experiences are needed; Short running times are a virtue; Video-game films work best when great filmmakers get creative license
[bits] The Big Picture: Drafts (Hosts and guests draft films in rounds; every pick is a recommendation with an argument); Hall of Fame (A star's or director's best, ranked and argued); Countdowns (Ranked lists, top five or top ten)
[bits] The Rewatchables: Apex Mountain (The moment a star peaks; where on the mountain a performance sits); Who Won the Movie (The hosts name the person who came out of the film best off); The Ebert review (Roger Ebert's original review and star rating read aloud. Ebert is cited, never on the show); Casting what-ifs (Who was almost cast, or who should have been); Most rewatchable scene (The scene each host would stop on while flipping channels); Aged best / aged worst (What holds up and what does not); Picking Nits (The little things in a film the hosts love that they don't think totally work: the nits); Double feature (The film each host would pair it with; a programming pick)

Recommend three to six films, and only films that appear in these lines. A series, a TV film, or a franchise counts too when a line recommends it or pairs it with James Bond series; name it the way the line names it. Don't recommend James Bond series itself. For each one, give one short reason in your own words and say whose reason it is: the show, named exactly as the brackets name it, and the speaker when the line names one (an "unknown" speaker is just the show). If the lines are thin, say so plainly rather than stretching them.

Keep a contrast a contrast. When a line sets two films apart, the reason is how they differ; never turn it into a way they're alike. A line with ⇒ puts the source first and what drew on it second, and one marked "the maker said so" is still the host reporting it: say who said it, and never state an influence as fact.

You know only what's on these lines. Add no fact they don't state: not who directed a film, not what kind of film it is, not when it came out, unless a line says so. Say nothing about the store or how anything rents here.

Talk the way a clerk talks to a customer at the counter: plain text, titles written plainly with no asterisks or other markup, no headings, no lists of more than six, no JSON.
