Timothy Dalton&#8217;s Bond quits MI6 and goes after drug lord Franz Sanchez, giving us revenge, exploding tankers, questionable undercover decisions, and one seriously pissed off James Bond. Gene and Big D break down Dalton&#8217;s darker take on the character and whether this stripped down Bond adventure was ahead of its time. Does Licence to Kill deserve another look, or was this just too much Bond for 1989? Tune in and find out.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Full movie info below:<\/strong><br \/> Licence to Kill (1989) is a James Bond film directed by John Glen and stars Timothy Dalton, Carey Lowell, Robert Davi, Talisa Soto, Anthony Zerbe, and a young Benicio del Toro. After drug lord Franz Sanchez brutally attacks Felix Leiter, Bond ignores orders and sets out for revenge, infiltrating Sanchez&#8217;s organization from within. The film marked Dalton&#8217;s second and final appearance as James Bond and took the series in a darker, more violent direction years before the franchise would revisit a similar approach with Daniel Craig.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"650\" data-end=\"1225\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><strong>Subscribe Now<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Android: <a title=\"Android\" href=\"..\/..\/..\/android\/\" rel= \"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/android<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Apple\/iTunes: <a href=\"..\/..\/..\/apple\" target=\"_blank\" rel= \"noopener\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/apple<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><u>Help Support the Podcast<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Contact Us: <a href= \"..\/..\/..\/contact\/\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/contact<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Commission Movie: <a href= \"..\/..\/..\/support\/\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/support<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Support with Paypal: <a href=\"..\/..\/..\/paypal\" target= \"_blank\" rel= \"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/paypal<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Support With Venmo: <a href=\"..\/..\/..\/venmo\" target= \"_blank\" rel= \"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/venmo<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Shop Merchandise: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/shop\" target=\"_blank\" rel= \"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/shop<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Theme Song &#8211; Die Hard by Guyz Nite: <a href= \"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/guyznite\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/guyznite<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/directory.libsyn.com\/episode\/index\/id\/43051798\/tdest_id\/4706482\">Check out this episode!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week on Shat the Movies, we&#8217;re going rogue with Licence to Kill (1989), the Bond movie where 007 forgets about saving the world and makes things very personal.
