James Bond & Friends

Team North America take on Team Europe in an epic James Bond themed Family Fortunes/Feud extravaganza to mark our 100th episode.

The Man With The Golden Gun marks the end of our watchalongs of the official EON series of James Bond films – but don’t worry – we’ll be back with the non-canonical adventures next!

With the long-lead articles about No Time To Die starting to drip out, we discuss the points raised by Daniel Craig, Lea Seydoux, and Ana de Armas in interviews.

In this episode, we flip the discussion of villainy as the world bears witness to billionaires shooting rival rockets into space.

In this episode, we each choose a character that is only in a James Bond film for a few minutes but makes a big impact on the adventure, the viewer, or the series as a whole.

Following our recent You Only Live Twice watchalong, we revisit the question as to why the film with such iconic imagery and all the Bond ingredients fails to stick the landing and isn’t that well regarded within fandom.

With the news that Amazon will spend $8.45b to take over MGM, we discuss the potential ups and downs of having half the James Bond rights owned by a company with deep pockets.

This episode we survey the book covers of Goldfinger, including the first edition by Richard Chopping.

Join us as we watch 1967’s You Only Live Twice together as a group experience.

The panel discusses the key elements of James Bond from the novels to the films, identifying some of the things we believe makes 007 charming and successful.
