Summary
Skyfall (2012) is the second in the Daniel Craig James Bond film series that Jason actually likes! Is this the perfect Bond movie? In this episode, we discuss what makes Skyfall a truly good film: the nostalgia, Javier Bardem, the lack of idiotic crap happening, Roger Deakins, the rat story, and many other things. We get deeper into real-life philosophy in this episode, as we discuss improving your life by 1% each day; discarding things that are cluttering your life; if you're going through something very difficult, keep going; and being open to weighing evidence counter to your worldview and making necessary adjustments without giving up being who you truly are.
