There are Bond games that were instant classics. Then there are games like GoldenEye: Rogue Agent. Beyond a vocal minority in YouTube comments for its OST, the world has done its best to forget the edgy Halo 2-inspired shooter about a 00 Agent gone bad. Or “rogue,” I suppose. But in this case, the world’s efforts are not enough. Jen and Six overcome them, and are here to tell you all about Mr. Hunter, the GoldenEye.
We wanted to watch a movie to go with it, so what better pick than The Man with the Golden Gun, starring Christopher Lee who also has a bizarre role in Rogue Agent? Well. Perhaps “what better pick” is a bad question because good LORD this movie is mega racist even by Bond standards.
Our music for this episode includes Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall by Ella Fitzgerald, The Man with the Golden Gun by Lulu, If You’re Gonna Jump by Natasha Bedingfield, and several tracks from the GoldenEye: Rogue Agent soundtrack.
