For decades, Javi has maintained that Octopussy is a vastly underrated and quite entertaining entry into the James Bond oeuvre… now listen as this belief crashes in a malestrom of flaming regret as Paul and the ever patient and understanding Producer Brad bear witness to the end of one of Javi’s most cherished delusions! Octopussy may have been billed as “James Bond’s all time action high” but in this clear-eyed rewatch, the Multiplex Overthruster crew finds that surviving the experience of watching Octopussy may be as lethal, if not much more lethal, than James Bond’s travails as he tries to stop some rich bad guy from doing some awful things with a strange macguffin for no discernible reason… also there’s a woman with a really awkward nickname. On the plus column, there is a buzzsaw-yoyo wielding assassin, and a cool mini jet… which we wish we could have used to escape from this film! It’s Multiplex Overthruster’s all-time snark high as they enter the world of high stakes international espionage and emerge changed, but not entertained!
