There are a lot of noir crime thrillers in the world, but most modern ones have a problem digging too deeply into the noir part of the equation. “Killing them softly” does away with the winding plot and instead gives a simple premise, with a simple resolution, and a world so real in its crappiness you can kind of smell it. Maybe it’s a grime thriller? It’s certainly the best at it if you’re into this sort of thing.

James Bond is on the menu this week, as Brian winds down his journey to watch every canonical movie in sequential order. That means we finally hit up the first appearance of Daniel Craig in the 2006 throwback/reboot/reset adaptation of the very first Ian Fleming novel - Casino Royale! Or did we do the very terrible star-studded psychedelic comedy trainwreck from 1967? Or maybe the Americanized, made-for-TV version from 1954? Confused yet? You won’t be once you listen to our take on the GOOD Casino Royale.
