“East St. Louis Toodle-oo” on Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan. WTF is that doing on there? Also why is that song on one of their greatest hits albums? The ultimate troll.

“On the Run” on DSOTM by Pink Floyd. This song just seems out of place to me. Total filler that sounds like they found some interesting equipment in the studio and decided to just monkey around with it for shits and giggles.

I think it would be super fun to have Benicio Del Toro play the Sanchez role in a License to Kill remake. Sort of a nod to the original where he plays Dario, Sanchez’s young protege. Clean up all the weird plot threads like the ninjas that were inexplicably added in and write the female characters better/more consistently. I think it would be really fun and the movie already lends itself already to a more modern style after how the Craig movies made it OK for Bond to be more gritty. And go all out and get Beyoncé or someone to remake the theme song.

I think they could explore other 00 agents besides 007 and use one-off actors like Tom Hardy or whoever for them (maybe if one is really popular bring them back for another). They won’t have to try and have the actor behave like Bond or be compared directly to Connery or whoever. They can embody a new character within the Bond universe and tell the story without needing to fall back on or be boxed in by the usual Bond tropes and style.

Alternatively, I think it would be cool if they remade some of the older Bond films that maybe didn’t quite hit the mark. Sort of like a reimagining of some of them with a modern aesthetic, like License to Kill or Man With the Golden Gun.
