From its high-octane pre-title sequence to Desmond Llewelyn’s farewell, we explore the legacy of The World Is Not Enough on its 25th anniversary.

Hosts Javi Trujillo, Bill Koenig, and David Leigh are joined by special guest Kyle Barbeau to mark the 25th anniversary of The World Is Not Enough. We revisit our memories of its release, debate where it ranks among the 25 Bond films, and break down the explosive (and unusually long) pre-title sequence.

We also reflect on Desmond Llewelyn’s final turn as Q and his lasting legacy. Along the way, we veer into pondering where a James Bond Mount Rushmore should be located and whether Amazon might take inspiration from Casino Royale (1954) for future Bond projects.

It’s an episode filled with nostalgia, deep dives, and a few unexpected tangents. Don’t miss it!

This episode was recorded on 22nd February in the United States and Spain.
