We wish the 007 movies a very happy 50th birthday and discuss the longest running film franchise in cinematic history. No, not EVERY film. We’re not bond historians, but we did check out a couple Connery films, his second and his last (official), that are streaming on Netflix. We also talk some Movie News, discuss CIFF (Chicago International Film Festival) and more….
