Much like this podcast, Ian Fleming has been dead for a long time... After the extraordinary claims made in the previous episode, the three dirty devils you know and love travel to the United States of America to seek the help of a mysterious and beguiling clairvoyant. Will the lovable lads from down under find the answers they seek? Or will dabbling in the dark arts do them a mischief? A fashionably late Très Bond Christmas present featuring the too-talented-for-this-podcast in multiple uncredited roles.

EPISODE 0048 is out now!

The title sequences for the James Bond films are arguably the most iconic moments in each film. Dripping with classic and classy imagery, these titles are quintessentially Bond. That said, they're not all winners, some are absolute turkeys. Sit back, and relax, as we take you through the best and the worst of the Bond title sequences.

"You have betrayed me!" Those were the words Sir Sean Connery shouted at Lois Maxwell when he learned she had signed on for this Italian-made Bond parody, starring his younger brother, Neil. One can only imagine what he must have said when Bernard Lee, Adolfo Celi, Daniella Bianchi, Anthony Dawson, and Yasuko Yama also jumped ship to spoof not only the Bond films but, seemingly, Connery's fame. Was this just a shameless cash-grab exploiting Bond mania and the Connery name, or did this group of Bond alumni craft an absolute banger?

14/11/2020

It was Kennedy's favourite, a critical hit, and its popularity secured the film franchise's birth but many things that were de rigueur for the 1950s have fallen out of fashion since. What of Fleming's 1957 cold war thriller? Is it a certified banger, or will this whole thing end in a whimper?

Bloodstone had the misfortune to be released at the same time as the hotly anticipated remake of Goldeneye. With that being the case, it fell through the cracks of both the gaming world and the Bond community. What little attention it received was lukewarm, at best. A decade on, we revisit Bloodstone to determine whether it's a diamond-in-the-rough or a cheap knockoff.

The oft used phrase is 'that more men have walked on the moon than have donned James Bond's dinner jacket' and debates have raged for decades as to which of the six wore it best. Now it falls to three best mates in Sydney, Australia to compile their most controversial and divisive list; who stood tall and faced it all & who fell short.

Leslie Nielsen was the undisputed king of the spoof film and Bond had escaped his withering deadpan style until this 1996 effort. Spy Hard gathered a plethora of comedy stars & pop-culture cameos and featured a theme-tune by the king of parody songs. So why does no-one talk about this film anymore? It's lesser-known, even within the Bond fan community, and copies of the film are hard to find. Is this a lost gem or a steaming pile? I think you know.

Sean, George, Roger, Timothy, Pierce, Daniel and... who's next? Or should one of those names be scrubbed from the record and replaced with another?
These are the questions we're answering this week in an episode full of judgment and speculation as three dirty devils from Australia take on the unenviable task of casting James Bond.

10/10/2020

For this, the 40th episode of our James Bond podcast, we have decided to celebrate such an auspicious anniversary by reviewing something non-Bond. That's right! We're putting the podcast on Cruise control this week and watching the film that kickstarted a rival action franchise... Mission: Impossible. Just accept it.

Upon completion of his fourth James Bond novel, Ian Fleming wrote: "I baked a fresh cake in Jamaica this year which I think has finally exhausted my inventiveness as it contains every single method of escape and every variety of suspenseful action that I had omitted from my previous books." Well, slow down there, Mr Fleming! We three dirty devils might have something to say about that. We also might not. I don't know. Just listen to our review.

The original Goldeneye for the Nintendo 64 is often credited as the game that started the first-person shooter genre but what about this one? Released in 2010 as a Wii exclusive, this remaster of a classic 007 story was subsequently re-released on the PS3 and XBOX 360 in 2011. Is it a serious contender or a flabby pretender?

19/09/2020

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success; the distance between being a Top 5 Villain and a dishonourable mention is the whim and fancy of three dirty devils in Australia. This week we are taking on 007's job and tackling the villains of the Bond canon. Delicious!

The importance of a film's opening sequence can not be understated. It is the introduction of a movie to its audience. It establishes the tone, the style, and the energy of the images to follow. The James Bond pre-title sequences are some of the most famous in cinematic history and have become an integral part of the Bond formula. So, which one's the best? Well, you dirty devils, we'll let you know.

Spite is never lonely; envy always tags along. So said Mignon McLaughlin who passed away the same year as Kevin McClory's second attempt at a Bond film was released. It's hard to say how this film is rated within the Bond community. Some say it's an admirable effort and a return to Connery's wonder years. Others deride it as a project driven by the two green monsters; envy and money. One thing, however, is certain: Très Bond are gonna let you know what they think!

The world's moved on Commander Bond... and the definition of a gentlemen's club is very different from what it was in Fleming's day.

This novel and its film adaptation couldn't be more dissimilar. The latter being decidedly camp and full of Star Wars envy; the former hailed as one of the defining pieces in the Bond literary canon. But what say three young lads from down under? How does Fleming's third adventure stack up against its predecessors? Is it still, like it's villain, a 'nail-biter' or will it fail to launch?

James Bond video games have a hallowed legacy. In 1997, a James Bond game took the world by storm and, subsequently, changed the first-person shooter genre. Fifteen years later, were the 007 games still pioneering new ways of playing or had the world moved on? 007 Legends was the last video game to be made based on the Bond franchise and is, partially, blamed for the collapse of a storied studio... could it really be that bad?

If music be the food of love then the Bond franchise is well-fed. Norman, Barry, Martin, Hamlisch, Conti, Kamen, Arnold, Newman, and Zimmer. More men have scored Bond's films than have played the secret agent himself but which of them is the composer king? Which soundtrack sits atop this mountain of magnum opuses?

Casino Royale '67 lays claim to an impressive troupe of talent both on and off the screen. It also had a larger budget than the official Bond film that opened in the same year. So our one question is: what the hell happened? Strap in for a psychedelic, eclectic and baffling experience as three best mates from down under try to make sense of the sensory overload that is Casino Royale '67.

Live and Let Die has some of the more controversial passages from Fleming's oeuvre but also some of the most thrilling. This week we're discussing Fleming's action-packed, second novel. How does it hold up after all these years? Is it still an exhilarating, swashbuckling adventure or has time been less than kind?

Assassins, rivals, minions, thugs, hackers, dealers, femme fatales; henchmen, all of them. The Bond films have a rogues gallery that is, nearly, peerless. In this episode, three dirty devils from down under rank the best of the worst. Which charismatic killer will take the top spot?

It's the battle of the brassy Basseys and the shy Sheryls in the first of our Top 5 rankings specials! This week we're going through our favourite title songs from the official James Bond films. There's plenty of spirited debate and dirty devilishness in this ranking of, arguably, the most iconic feature of the Bond films: The Title Songs.
