The Silver Linings Playlist
Not every movie wraps up with a neat little bow on the end. Some leave you asking "what the f@#$?!" We're here to find the silver lining in the latter. Join Dustin, Mallie, and Nathan every Monday as we try to find the light at the end of the tunnel for some of cinema's bleakest endings.

Episode 164: Quantum of Solace
It took 148 days this summer for the studios to give the WGA fair wages and protection against AI, but if you need an example of what can happen to a film during a writers' strike, look no further than 2008's Quantum of Solace. It's often cited as the most maligned James Bond film, but let us take you back for a proper revaluation as this one may be better than you remember. Great stunts, amazing visuals, and creative editing often times outweigh clunky screenwriting and odd performances in this one. We'll discuss it all, plus casting Natasha Lyonne (and maybe Natasha Leggero) as a Bond girl, Barack Obama's thoughts Mission: Impossible II, Dustin discovering with "P" in Life of P stands for, and much, much more.
Quantum of Solace stars Daniel Craig, Olga Kurylenko, Mathieu Amalric, Judi Dench, Giancarlo Giannini, Gemma Arterton, Jeffrey Wright, and David Harbour. Directed by Marc Forster.
