S4E42: Baby Driver

**November Kelly** (0:00)
And the thing is, I'm gonna continue to like, kiss and shake hands with and lick everyone.

**Abigail Thorn** (0:08)
You're doing this to the particles diagram every time you meet?

**November Kelly** (0:11)
Yeah, every time. Every time. I gotta stop getting women to like, you know, cough on me, but I won't stop.

**Devon** (0:19)
Walking up to someone and putting my hand forward for their handshake, whole time I'm thinking about the particles diagram. Thank you for blasting me, sir. Here are my particles.

**November Kelly** (0:28)
Yeah, you just gotta cough into your hands a bunch before you shake hands with me. Right, who's shaking hands on this day? Anyway, right, I'm gonna count to seven elbows.
I'm doing the foot-to-foot thing, like Joe Biden.

**Devon** (0:57)
The foot stuff is good.

**November Kelly** (0:58)
Okay, we can leave all of that in. Hello and welcome to another episode of Kill James Bond. I am November Kelly. I am joined, as always, by my friends Abigail Thorn and Devon.

**Abigail Thorn** (1:08)
Hello.

**Devon** (1:10)
Cowabunga, it's a low-energy cowabunga.

**November Kelly** (1:12)
Negative cowabunga.

**Abigail Thorn** (1:13)
Oh dear, oh dear.

**November Kelly** (1:16)
It's too hot for a high-energy cowabunga, for one thing, but also-

**Abigail Thorn** (1:19)
It's hotter there than it is here.

**Devon** (1:20)
It is, yeah.

**November Kelly** (1:21)
It's 16 degrees Celsius.

**Abigail Thorn** (1:23)
I'm currently in San Francisco for Bound, for fucking Frameline, the LGBTQ Film Festival. Yeah, it's 16 degrees and mild here.

**November Kelly** (1:32)
You lucky bitch.
Every single person I know is texting me, who lives in London, texting me saying, shoot me with a gun. Oh no.

**Devon** (1:41)
A vindictive Keir Starmer has got his hands on the weather machine. He's trying to sweat us out.

**November Kelly** (1:45)
I don't know why, he's going to be Prime Minister forever.

**Abigail Thorn** (1:48)
Yeah.

**Devon** (1:48)
Now and forever Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

**Abigail Thorn** (1:51)
Any need for current Prime Minister Keir Starmer to do that?

**November Kelly** (1:54)
Yeah. 6pm on the 21st, I can say pretty confidently, Keir Starmer is going to be Prime Minister for decades.

**Abigail Thorn** (2:00)
At least another 24 hours.

**Devon** (2:02)
Definitely when the episode comes out, he'll still be Prime Minister, that's for sure.

**Abigail Thorn** (2:05)
Oh yeah.

**November Kelly** (2:06)
No, for sure. I don't even know what this would look like. Who would replace him on the street, come on.

**Abigail Thorn** (2:11)
No, nobody.

**Devon** (2:12)
Al Khans maybe.

**November Kelly** (2:13)
Darren Jones? No.

**Devon** (2:15)
I'm manic. I'm fucking manic.

**November Kelly** (2:18)
We're back to heist season. And I thought it would be fun for us to approach heist season by way of some of the more car-centric heists. So we're staying broadly within Dom Toretto's arc of protection. And this is an episode that I really, really conceptualized as eating my vegetables before I had my dessert, because we are doing...

**Devon** (2:40)
Oh my god.

**November Kelly** (2:41)
Edgar Wright's Baby Driver.

**Abigail Thorn** (2:45)
Yeah.

**November Kelly** (2:45)
You've been down too long in the midnight seat.

**Devon** (2:49)
It's one of the most annoying films I've ever seen in my entire life. I...

**Abigail Thorn** (2:53)
Yeah. I think that's a little hard. It was a little annoying, but you know, it's well made, people got paid. Like, I have some big criticisms of it.

**November Kelly** (3:03)
It is a movie you can watch, it's true.

**Devon** (3:05)
It's a movie.

**November Kelly** (3:06)
People didn't get paid to make it.

**Abigail Thorn** (3:07)
You can watch it on a plane.

**Devon** (3:09)
You can get very granular. People showed up to work, they had a good time at work. The best grip, you know, the key boy or whatever, they had a wonderful time. Movie really bad, movie not good.

**November Kelly** (3:19)
I love that when Abi's sort of determination to be positive leads to the things like, well, they didn't employ slaves. They didn't use slavery to make Baby Driver.

**Abigail Thorn** (3:28)
As far as I know, they didn't. No, no.

**Devon** (3:32)
Don't write in if they did.

**November Kelly** (3:33)
There's no AI in this, because it was too early for that. Only people can be this annoying, authentic.

**Devon** (3:42)
I kind of liked the opening sequence of this. I think they could have cut it off just before the titles hit, and it would have been a really lovely, like maybe five minute, just a short video of music.

**Abigail Thorn** (3:54)
You're so right about that. Oh, god damn.

**November Kelly** (3:56)
Yeah. Because the thing is, we begin with a heist. We begin with a bank robbery, and it is scored to music, and I write down, robbery is so cool, I wish it were real. Yes.
