About this episode

The episode discusses the film Die Another Day, its significance in the Bond series, and the decision to reboot the franchise.

The 20th Bond film was supposed to be a celebration of the series. Die Another Day was an enormous financial success but ended up being Pierce Brosnan's final film. EON decided to reboot the series. But why? Did Brosnan deserve another shot? Why wasn't it better? Guest Kai Wang returns to the podcast for our Season Eleven premiere as we discuss Die Another Day. ____ Please consider joining our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wwibofficial YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whywasntitbetter Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/wwibpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wwib_official X: https://x.com/WWIBpodcast Subscribe!
