Finally, Diminishing Returns makes its long-awaited return to the James Bond franchise! In this episode, the hosts (Allen Turing, Sol Harris and YouTube's premiere James Bond reviewer: Calvin Dyson) look at the 4th entry in the 007 series, Thunderball, before pitching their own ideas for direct sequels that could have been. Somehow, Frasier manages to sneak back into the mix, too, just like it did in last week's Fifty Shades of Grey episode.
