Summary

Reel, Desert of the Reel. We are diving fist-first into the Daniel Craig James Bond movies. Jason famously hates action movies and especially hates James Bond movies! But maybe there is something deep and philosophical here in 2006's Casino Royale. We look at the history of 007, go over our pros and cons, and explore the ideas of ego, feminism, and genre studies.
