Kill James Bond!

The gang are joined once again by the wonderful Shannon Strucci- editor, podcast host, video essayist, and foremost Lupin III scholar that we happen to know- to discuss Hayao Miyazaki's directorial debut; the 1979 animated movie 'Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro'.  You can find Shannon at https://twitter.com/plentyofalcoves  and  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh9DnjvObUcvvwrYbJ4-cLQ You can...

It's finally here, after much fanfare and buildup: Season 2 of KJB starts off not with a bang, but with a knowing hmm as we kick off the Cerebral Hour Syriana is potentially the best depiction of spy work we have covered, and it's serious themes lead us to a very thoughtful and introspective discussion of western intervention- and also Mark Strong is here in what i can only describe as 'Arab Face'...

It's the pre-show party to Season 2, baby! And this year it just so happens to fall on the first of June, the first day of our yearly Banquet of Forgiveness, where YOU (thats right, you) get our Bonus episodes for the month COMPLETELY FREE! This week on KJB Q&A: We discuss fighting a chimp with a sword for ten minutes, Abi invents a new Regional Bond, and we decipher which wrestling moves would be...

They fucking.... they fucking made the same movie again. I'm going to issue an actionable threat of violence against named persons   This is it guys, with the conclusion of the Jason Bourne Miniseries we are truly at the end of KJB Season 1. It's been an incredible journey, from nothing to the apple podcasts #1 film review podcast in the UK, to over a million downloads within a year is an insane p...

We finally found it: a movie so horny that three trans people wasn't enough to properly discuss it. So we called in friend of the show and all three hosts of the show, Mattie Lubchansky! The film is Zorro, by the way. The 1998 antonio banderas one where a shirtless anthony hopkins whips out the flames of a candelabra and Devon has heart palpitations. Can you tell I'm caring less and less about the...

The Bourne Legacy is a perfect case study for what happens when a series is getting tired, so you bring in a new guy to breathe new life into it- and it really works! until the final half hour, where it's heroic attempt to reach out of the pile of slop, like Sandman in Spider Man 3 attempting to impose order on his constituent parts through sheer force of will, eventually fails and it collapses ba...

Alright look, I did an Abi on this one. I swear to god i remembered this one being okay. Instead, enjoy a slow descent into rat madness at the hands of Aardman's first (I havent checked if this is true) foray into a full CGI movie. It's about the great replacement.

Well, it's that time again. We have finally killed the mother fucker, so we're doing an end-zone dance by answering your questions in retrospective about the 25 Bond films AND the 60ish episodes of Kill James Bond! Enjoy our unhurried and friendly discussion about how well Alice did at the live show, what our plans are for the future of KJB, and what our ideal Mamma Mia 3 would look like! This epi...

We finally did it. At 19:30 on the 8th of April, we slew the coward James Bond in front of an audience of 125 at the Streatham Space Project. This is the audio of that event.

This episode is genuinely one of our best, I think. It's a deep dive into a movie that just isn't really very good, but the director and writer had such passion that it's hard not to feel kinship with the guy. Also, we finally put forth the central point of the podcast: It's gay to cum. Find the whole episode at our reasonably-priced patreon! https://www.patreon.com/posts/64776036   *WEB DESIGN AL...

Alright, Alice and Abi each picked a Jackie Chan movie, so I had simply no choice but to round out the trifecta with what is widely believed to be his directorial masterpiece (and his own personal favourite of his movies)- Police Story! After a drug bust goes wrong, Jackie Chan must protect the star witness from retribution- and hijinks ensue.   Find the whole episode at our reasonably-priced patr...

So we're only one episode away from finally killing James Bond- permit us to savour it. In order to make sure we can do No Time To Die as a live show we decided to take a quick Sojourn to kill Jason Bourne. The Bourne identity introduces us to a man raised by fishermen, a man with no memory of his past but in possession of a set of incredible skills.... Join us as we unravel the mystery of just wh...

Alright, maybe The Tuxedo wasn't a fair movie to introduce Jackie Chan with, so here's a frankly great movie starring him and punished Pierce Brosnan- The Foreigner! A nung chinese veteran loses everything in a resurgent IRA bombing, so goes absolutely ape shit tracking down the CEO of the IRA - Gerry Adams!   Find the whole episode at our reasonably-priced patreon! https://www.patreon.com/posts/6...

Alright this one fucking sucked. This movie is genuinely the most misogynistic movie I have ever seen, and I'm saying that as someone who has JUST watched every Bond movie in order. Jackie Chan wanted to meet stephen spielberg so he agreed to do this movie about a cabbie who becomes a chauffeur to James Bond (Real), then inherits his super powered tuxedo when things get sticky. Next bonus we're go...

We did it, boys. For 25.83 episodes the Double Dragons have tried in vain to secure guests. But for this most special 26th episode, we've only gone and fucking secured a guest appearance from Abigail Thorn, star of Philosophy Tube! Skyfall is a movie ripping itself apart at the seams trying to be two wildly divergent things, and boy does it show. Also, for the final half hour the movie becomes Hom...

Alright let me initially make the case for this movie: This is the single biggest movie in Hong Kong at the height of the classic hong kong era of movies (the year 1984), and it parodies beats and characters from the bond movies.   Now, the anti point here is that uuuuuuh it's fucking impossible to find a non-illegal link to watch this movie because modern movie distribution companies are just tha...

Sorry, fixed the audio now. Well, it's finally happened. The Fearless and Unstoppable Abigail Thorn has been waylaid to a permanent end by a blonde secret agent called some shit like Samantha Strapon while trying to infiltrate a diamond smuggling ring. To keep our spirits up in this trying time, we have gone back to that most precious to us, the Cars cinematic universe. Find bonus episodes at our...

Well, it's that time again. It's been ten whole free episodes, which is roughly twenty weeks, since our last Patron Q&A. Let's settle in, get a little parasocial, and find out which animals each host thinks they could take in a fight, or which Bond film would make for the best Muppets adaptation. This episode features Abi stating that she could bodyslam a deer, and Devon saying "I could win in a f...

Well, it's finally happened. we've talked about a movie for longer than the runtime of the movie. We also bid goodbye to a beloved classic character, Mitchell from the movie Quantum of Solace. It's always so hard to lose them like this... I'd only just recovered from the untimely demise of 'the character Sharkey from the movie License to Kill', and now I have to deal with a whole other wave of pai...

So, a few months ago we invited friend of the show Tom Walker on to discuss the movie Spy Kids 2. This time, since we're going bigger and bolder for the sequel, we thought hey- why not bring on Demi too? What we forgot is that putting the two together completes one of the funniest and most powerful chaos runes known to mankind.  Find Demi at https://twitter.com/DemiLardner and her stream at https:...

What happens when Mads Mikkelsen's attempt to invest Joseph Kony's money on shorting airline stock is foiled? Well, he'll have to organise a high-stakes poker game at the Casino Royale in Montenegro, of course! And there's only one man who can possibly infiltrate the game and stop him (Due to, and im not kidding here, the reasoning 'someone said you're the best at poker at the office').... James B...

It's time: KJB has finally watched Stormbreaker, the absolute box office failure of an attempt to create a film series based on the young adult Alex Rider novels by Anthony Horowitz. A british schoolboy must infiltrate the secret base of computer entrepreneur Mickey Rourke and figure out just what da heck is going on- while avoiding the worst jellyfish model this earth has ever known. And to help...
