Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

And Shane wept, for there were no more Austin Powers movies to cover. For his birthday episode this year, Shane made Andrew watch the James Bond homage episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine; "Our Man Bashir."

James Bond heads to Japan in the movie that introduced the West to ninjas -- and perpetuated the awful tradition of yellowface.

Shane and Andrew check out The Ipcress File , the first of the "anti-Bond" spy movies, starring Michael Caine as Harry Palmer.

Shane and Andrew check out four episodes from the fourth season of 60s action comedy series The Avengers, starring Bond veterans Diana Rigg and Patrick Macnee.

Shane and Andrew fan-cast new movie adaptations of three more Ian Fleming Bond novels; Thunderball, The Spy Who Loved Me, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

George Lazenby is back, back, back, albeit very briefly, in this wild and trashy 80s Bond-inspired spy thriller starring John Stamos, Vanity, and Gene Simmons.

He might never be Bond, but Henry Cavill gets to play a very Bond-adjacent character in the 2024 box office bomb Argylle. Shane and Andrew share their thoughts on this very strange confection for better (Catherine O'Hara) and worse (The Beatles?).

Shane and Andrew explore the novel version of On Her Majesty's Secret Service -- and talk Traitors!

With the announcement of a new James Bond actor expected to take place in 2024, Shane and Andrew count down their list of their favorite contenders for the role.

Shane and Andrew celebrate the holidays with everyone's favourite Christmas movie, 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service. George Lazenby's only outing as Bond is a very different type of Bond movie and one of the franchise's most stylish, but is Lazenby as bad as he's reputed to be? Also in this episode, our hosts discuss 007 Road to a Million on Prime, and review Bowmore&...

Shane and Andrew revisit the classic (?), iconic (?), feminist (!?) action movie Charlie's Angels, starring Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang takes a Halloween horror detour with 1986 camp classic Vamp, starring one of our favourite Bond women, Grace Jones!

Angelina Jolie almost had her own spy franchise with Salt, a movie and role that nearly went to Tom Cruise. What went wrong?

Shane and Andrew unpack the many problems in Ian Fleming's least popular Bond novel and find themselves staring at the thesis at the heart of this whole podcast.

DVD board games were a thing in the early 2000s. Andrew and Shane unbox a 2004 "007 Edition" of the movie trivia board game Scene It and go head-to-head to test their James Bond knowledge!

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang returns with a tale of billionaires, submarines, and hubris. It's the 1977 Roger Moore classic The Spy Who Loved Me!

Pride Month is here and it's time for another camp classic with a Bond leading man! This time it's Pierce Brosnan's turn to humiliate himself as he honks his way through the ABBA jukebox musical Mamma Mia!

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang rounds out its coverage of the Austin Powers trilogy -- and its spy spoof season -- with 2002's Goldmember, the movie that made Spectre a joke several years before Spectre was even written.

Spy spoof movie season continues on Kiss Kiss Bang Bang with Leslie Nielsen's Spy Hard. It's a dumb movie, but is it somehow better than Johnny English, the dumb movie from the actual Bond movie writers?

Spy spoof season continues with Rowan Atkinson's Bond parody -- from the actual writers of the Bond movies. Treason!

We're kicking off our countdown to the last Austin Powers movie by checking out some other classic spy spoofs from the 90s and beyond, starting with 2015's Paul Fiege comedy Spy , starring Melissa McCarthy.

It's the movie that almost killed the Bond franchise, but how does it hold up today? Shane and Andrew revisit the final Brosnan Bond movie Die Another Day to reappraise Halle Berry's Jinx, the campy villains Graves and Frost, and that Madonna theme.

Shane and Andrew provide live commentary as their gaymer friends Jomar and Levi play the re-released GoldenEye 007 on the Nintendo Switch. It was a game that revolutionized the first person shooter, but how does it hold up today, and how closely does it evoke the GoldenEye movie and the world of Bond?

We've watched the movies based on the novel, now it's time for the novel based on the screenplay, Ian Fleming (and friends') 1961 novel Thunderball, perhaps the horniest of the Bond novels.

Shane and Andrew dive deep into one of the weirdest Bond pastiches ever made, the 1960s Italian spy comedy OK Connery, starring Sean Connery's brother Neil Connery as hypnotist plastic surgeon Dr Neil Connery--and co-starring a whole host of Bond movie performers!
