About the podcast
Andrew, Tim & Lucy, three Australian fans of Ian Flemings great creation, review every James Bond film in Licence to Podcast. Sharing our enjoyment for the great British spy and perhaps one day convincing EON Productions to set a film down under.
As we've reviewed every Bond film, sometimes more than once, we have branched out and looked at many other of our favourite movies from Star Wars to Harry Potter, Mission: Impossible and Jason Bourne just to name a few.
We really love film and hope you have as much fun listening to these episodes as much we did recording them.

With the recent loss of the great Sam Neill, this weeks Mission Briefing is the brilliantly funny 'Hunt for the Wilderpeople' which we think you will love as it's the great man showing off his range of skills as an actor as well as being a rollicking good film.

Show notes
It's a Mission Briefing and we are extremely proud to tell you all about (or maybe just remind you of) 'The Castle'.
Released in 1997 on a shoe-string budget it's a rare Aussie comedy that doesn't star an American or English actor but instead relies on local talent and a hilarious script that accentuates the unique eccentricities of suburban Australians.
We'd love to get your Negligent Discharge on this one especially if you find a way to see this wonderful film.

Time for another Mission Briefing.
This time its the contemporary Australian drama 'Looking for Alibrandi' as we check in with the life of a Sydney private schoolgirl and her family.
It's not a widely known Aussie film but as you will hear it's a uniquely modern story portrayed by a solid cast of local actors.

There's about 30 minutes of your quality Negligent Discharge to start with before we discuss a film that no one in Hollywood wanted to make possibly because of the incest or rape, we're not quite sure but we try our best to explain.

Yes we are back.... well most of us. This year has not started well with a few issues getting in the way of us all getting back into the studio to talk about our favourite movies.
With such a long break you have a lot of Negligent Discharge to unload so if you just want to get to the review you should skip forward to about the 35 minute mark. That being said there were a lot of great suggestions for us to discuss with your correspondence and we plenty of fun with your ideas.
Anyway, 004 & 009 are looking at one of the greatest action/adventure films in Romancing the Stone starring Kathleen Turner, Michael Douglas and Danny Devito.
In what we hope will become be a series of film reviews for "Date Night" we look at romantacism, adventure and why these movies are so much better than most churned out today.

*YOU HAVE 20 SECONDS TO COMPLY*
Tim and Andrew take a deep dive into one the greatest Sci-Fi films ever made. Paul Verhoeven's Robocop is a violent look into a future when corporations care more about profit than the people working for them.... some might say that future is now???
This was a lost treasure for us and we're stoked that we could spend an afternoon reliving it with you.
