Kill James Bond!

This movie boldly asks: What if a global neo-nazi cabal used a stolen israeli nuke to glass the city of Baltimore?  What if CIA Analyst Jack Ryan (Slightly too young Ben Affleck) was to try to stop it?    Find bonus episodes at our reasonably-priced patreon! https://www.patreon.com/killjamesbond   *WEB DESIGN ALERT*  Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

We're just not quite ready to let Harrison Ford go yet, so we move seamlessly from Clear and Present Danger to Air Force One, a roughly contemporaneous movie that could fit very neatly into the Jack Ryan universe, as canonically Jack does become President of the United States, in part for his actions during Clear and Present Danger. I hate knowing so much about these fuckin films. A barely-conceal...

And even though it's kind of shit, (It's a 1970s 'comedy' with no discernable jokes, A fun premise that complet...

It's time to keep up the heat on Jack Ryan, and this time Mr Constitution himself is off to Colombia to racistly get himself involved in a bunch of drug smuggling events. Hard to express the lack of respect this movie has to the nation of Colombia, and indeed to the viewer.  Jack Ryan is made Acting Deputy Director of the CIA when his mentor James Earl Jones, here playing the character of America,...

Kill James Bond enters into another long-term beef with a named person, as we return.... to Jack Ryan. This time, retired CIA analyst Jack Ryan (Harrison Ford) faces off against a rogue element of the IRA, after getting himself embroiled in an assassination attempt against a royal when on holiday in London. Irish Sean Bean swears revenge against him for killing his little brother, and hunts him do...

This is a bonus episode originally released on Sept. 12 2021, unlocked to kick off our Jack Ryan series! - - - Alright, you know it, we know it.

What if you could defeat the CIA by carjacking a hot enough woman? What if you read enough books that you stumbled upon something important? Three Days of the Condor is a movie that asks and answers all of these questions...

What happens when the entire force of the 1998 NSA is brought to bear, Including a limitless budget, Magic security cameras, spy satellites, and absolute power to kill without oversight, to obliterate the life of a single random dude?  But what if that dude was Will Smith?

Long-time listeners may recall that for S1E3.5 we talked about 'OSS 117: Cairo, nest of spies'. Well with Abigail jetting off to Vidcon we have taken the time to invite along dear friend of the show Mattie Lubchansky to talk about its' sequel!  This is a movie that comes SO fuckin close to being one we can unreservedly recommend, but sadly it fails Hebdo's Gambit a few too many times. You can find...

Further to the theme of last episode's taught depiction of actual spy work, today we're taking a look at the dramatisation of the true story of Robert Hanssen, an FBI agent who spent decades spying for the USSR, and later Russia.  This is a well-acted, high stakes retelling that somewhat unfortunately was unwatchable for Abi, due to the protagonist being the spitting image of her childhood friend...

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'...

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.

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.

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.

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...
