For Charlie's annual birthday episode, his very good friend Mike has chosen Terence Young's filmed adaptation of Ian Fleming's novel Dr. No. That's right, there's technically a James Bond movie in the Criterion Collection. And since the birthday boy is a super-fan, eager for a soapbox upon which to blurt out decades of pent-up interpretations, criticisms, and hot takes, get ready for a wild ride. Songs about fruit! Solitaire in the dark! Women's sunglasses! It's all here. If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing John Cassavetes' The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976).
