Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Thunderball is such a classic, Sean Connery made it twice. It didn't work out so great the second time. Shane and Andrew explore the strange story of Never Say Never Again, the unofficial Bond movie that almost created a new franchise.

We're back for a new year with an all-time classic, the 1965 Sean Connery movie Thunderball. We hit the highs (Fiona Volpe) the lows (James Bond's spa break) and the Junkanoo too!

Roger Moore is The Chief in the iconic classic of British cinema, Spice World. Is it a Bond movie? Probably not. Is it a good movie? Possibly not. Is it an amazing experience and well worth your time? Listen and find out!

Shane and Andrew count down their picks of the best outfits and fashions in Bond movie history. Suits, swimsuits, beautiful gowns, it's all here -- and inevitably, they disagree enormously and somehow come together in the end.

Henry Cavill may never be Bond -- but maybe he's played the part already, or pretty close to it. Shane and Andrew check out the once-and-future Superman's 60s spy thriller The Man from UNCLE (co-starring aspiring celebrity cannibal Armie Hammer), with Cavill in the very Bond-esque role of Ian Fleming's Napoleon Solo.

For the milestone 50th edition of the queer James Bond podcast, Shane and Andrew revisit Daniel Craig's troubled sophomore effort as Bond, Quantum of Solace. All these years later, will it go down as smooth as a glass of cold water or will they choke on its nonsense like they're guzzling crude?

Bond actors Sean Connery and Ralph Fiennes star in one of the most derided movies ever made, 1998's movie adaptation of the cult British spy series The Avengers. The movie is widely regarded as a disaster, and Shane and Andrew are here to confirm that, yes, it is truly terrible. Listener discretion is advised.

Shane and Andrew make their dream cast suggestions for modern Casino Royale-style adaptations of the novels Dr. No and Goldfinger and the short story collection For Your Eyes Only, and pick a new frontrunner for the role of James Bond!

To mark the official 60th anniversary of the release of Dr. No, we review and recap "Bond Night" on the celebrity dance show Dancing with the Stars on Disney+! #jamesbond #dwts #dancingwiththestars #bondnight #007 

The last Roger Moore Bond movie (and the last Lois Maxwell Bond movie) gets the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang whiplash treatment as Shane and Andrew try to decide if they love or hate this movie. One thing is for sure; Grace Jones as May Day reigns supreme.

Shane and Andrew review the short stories From A View To A Kill, For Your Eyes Only, Quantum of Solace, Risico, and the Hildrebrandt Rarity and discover a journey deep into Ian Fleming's evolving psyche and some incredible underrated Bond women!

Did Michael Mann make a secret Bond movie with the 1996 action extravaganza The Rock , starring Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage? We investigate this popular fan theory, offer our assessment, and make a shocking discovery: Is No Time To Die a Stanley Goodspeed movie?

Shane and Andrew count down their favourite Bond gadgets and cars from across the 25 official Eon movies -- and once again manage to disagree extensively, but never about Goldfinger.

Bond enters the 80s, and it's both everything you feared it could be and also strangely muted after the excess of Moonraker! Shane and Andrew talk stunts, scuba, Topol, and the horrors of Bibi Dahl.

Shane and Andrew break down the Bond novel Goldfinger to see how it compares to the iconic movie. 

For Pride Month we catch up with one of the campest, queerest movies to ever star a James Bond -- 1980's Flash Gordon, starring Timothy Dalton as Prince Barin. It's a sumptuous, ridiculous movie full of glamour, action, and s-e-x.

Michelle Yeoh steals the show and Jonathan Pryce devours the furniture in a late 90s tale of media manipulation, Tomorrow Never Dies. It's one of Shane's favourites. It's one of Andrew's... not favourites. Hit play to pump us for more information.

Our annual dip into the Austin Powers canon continues with the time travel shenanigans of The Spy Who Shagged Me. Pour yourself a warm cup of coffee and settle in.

The greatest song, the greatest style, the greatest henchperson, the greatest Bond woman, the greatest Bond? Shane and Andrew revisit the iconic movie Goldfinger to see if it holds up to its reputation for greatness -- and its reputation for being extremely problematic.

He's the man who almost destroyed James Bond -- and maybe created the roadmap for Bond's reinvention. Shane and Andrew revisit 2002's The Bourne Identity to complain about baggy sweaters, appreciate Matt Damon's twunkishness, and explain how the Bourne movies tie into Zoolander.

Shane and Andrew continue their rundown of Fleming's original novels with Dr. No, the book that became the first Bond movie! There's a centipede, a squid, some crabs, a lot of talk about roseate spoonbills, and a GOSHDARN DRAGON!

How big is Big? Is King our queen? Will we say yes to No? What is the importance of being Ernst?  Join Shane and Andrew as they rate the Bond movie bad guys from worst to best... at being worst.

Shane and Andrew turn their attention to the 1986 Penny Marshall spy comedy Jumpin' Jack Flash, starring Whoopi Goldberg and featuring fleeting cameos by just about every 80s TV comedian. It's a gas gas gas.

Ten years on from the release of the middle child of Craig Bond movies, we look back on Skyfall to see how it holds up, from Academy Award-winning song to dodgy CGI komodos. 

Tamara Dobson returns as Cleopatra Jones in a Blaxploitation spy movie that takes the drugs-busting action to Hong Kong. There are pleasant surprises in store, and some incredible fashions, but the villain is just as problematic as last time!
