My family and I watched the entirety of the franchise in order during COVID lockdown. Every Friday, we'd drink heavily and do a peanut gallery commentary. We also listened to the Kill James Bond podcast along with it. Good times, and the only thing that can make most of those movies watchable. It really is an insufferably gross and shitty franchise. There's a couple bangers, and some incredible lines in there though.
That sounds like it would have been a lot of fun to do.
So I know you didn't mean anything by the use of the term peanut gallery but I just wanted to give you a heads up that the phrase has racist origins, because of course it does!
This is not a struggle session. This is one of those "Goddamn it, why didn't anyone tell me this before?" moments. And it's gonna be worse when I tell you I'm not even American and that I've never stepped foot in the US. Death to America etc. etc.
Fuuuuuuuuuck!! We can't have shit because of racists!!! It's rather fitting for a lot of the bond films though, some of the most racist stuff gets played off so casually.
I got it into my head a while that I'd watch all of them and so I've been steadily going through them, ngl i actually really got into the first five Sean Connery ones but its been a rocky ride since then.
The original Connery ones were pretty solid and classic cinema... Except for the sex pest/assault parts. Non-Moore ones get more entertaining at least, I think it was really poor directing and writing tbh.

How about we call it the shoe gallery?
I'm in favour of calling it the Statler and Waldorf gallery
But I suppose that's a bit dated.
In the famous words of Bob Katter: "Let there be a thousand blossoms bloom!"
Muppets are never dated!!

I personally just say "cheap seats." Has a good flow to it.

You do your best until you know better and then you do better 💜
Now that we have learned of a racist origin for a phrase, we gotta nuke the site
Unlimited nuclear holocaust upon the English lexicon
