Kapeesh Filmcast

The Bond Daft crew return for the final Pierce Brosnan 007 film, Die Another Day (2002). Directed by Lee Tamahori, this was a massive commercial success but was critically mixed due to its weird tonal shifts, poor CG stunts and over-the-top plotting. Listen in as we give our thoughts on invisible cars, ice palaces and massive sun lasers. Who said the film was OTT? Enjoy!

In this astounding epic podcast, the Bond Daft crew return for the inaugral Pierce Brosnan appearance as James Bond in Goldeneye (1995).

In this episode we go into full spoiler detail on many aspects of the production as well as give our th...

The Bond Daft crew become rogue agents in this podcast review for the final Timothy Dalton Bond film released in 1989. It was the end of an era for the franchise and swansong for many mainstays (director John Glen included).

As lockdown continues, the crew rejoin - remotely, of course - for Timothy Dalton's inaugral appearance as Fleming's secret agent in The Living Daylights. Released in 1987 and the fourth Bond directed by John Glen, the film marked a stark tonal shift from the lighter camp of the Moore era into a more back-to-basics, no-nonsense darker take on 007 with tremendous success. Listen in as we give our f...

From that we then dive deep into Moore's (coincidentally, also fourth outing) Moonraker from 1979. Enjoy!

This Bond Daft episode was recorded on a Moonraker rocket in space which is fitting that we happen to be discussing 007's eleventh cinematic release, Moonraker. The third and final of Lewis Gilbert's Bond films was released in 1979 as a reaction to the Star Wars phenomenon and was, although not wholly critically loved, a massive commercial success. Listen in as we discuss the film in spoiler detai...

The Bond Daft crew are recruited once again to review the eighth Bond film released in 1973 and Sir Roger Moore's inaugral appearance as 007. In this episode we delve deep into director Guy Hamilton's third Bond film in full spoiler detail.

Gordan and I take one for the team and reconvene for a special bonus Bond Daft episode where in which we view the often forgotten unofficial 007 film, Never Say Never Again.

Join Fran and Steve on their spoilerific review of the penultimate film in the Star Trek film franchise and the sequel to the successful 2009 reboot film.

In this episode we attempt to dissect the flawed plot and characterisation of...

The Bond Daft crew reassemble for Sean Connery's final official outing as the MI6 agent with a licence to kill. Released in 1971, Diamonds Are Forever reteams Connery with Goldfinger director Guy Hamilton for a more light-hearted zany affair which weakly followed the devastating end to OHMSS.
