"Loads of little inside stories and nuggets of info from Terry. I'd already heard some of his escapades at one of the SNS meet-ups, but he elaborates further here.

“Listened to this earlier. Brilliant to hear the stories especially paying the bill one!” - Nick

Join Tom and Dan as they investigate why Bond still tops Mission: Impossible, Bourne and what about George Smiley.  

Every other spy movie franchise loathes and despises James Bond 007 – and the EON Productions 50+ years of success.  Why? 

Because no other franchise, let alone spy movie franchise, has survived and thrived for over 50 years on the big screen, in books and novelizations.  Bond is Big – and it may always remain big if EON Productions continues to do the right things – some things more right than others, but they have pretty much done the right things for 50 years. 

But is there a challenger?!

Interview with: His World Never Dies: The Evolution of James Bond author, Dave Holcomb  - Book is a nice read and in this podcast we interview the author!

We read a lot of books on spies – real spies and movie spies – so we can gain a little more insight into the spy movies that we are having fun with.   This book looks at Bond from a unique vantage point.  Kind of a cool title considering the EON just announced the new Bond film (November 2020) is called No Time to Die! 

Dave weaves a story on how Bond has evolved over the decades with some unique insights, a treatment of sexism and race, and a very interesting concept of how history and the Bond series goes through what is called a History Gyre, which suggests that history does not only repeat itself, but that it moves in an evolutionary circle.  Dave suggests that the Bond films go through this same evolutionary circle.   It is a great book, which we enjoyed reading, and we had a great conversation with the author, Dave Holcomb - listen now!   

We'd highly recommend it, and you can find it on Amazon, just search His World Never Dies.

Join Tom and Dan as they compare From Russia With Love to real world events and its relationship to other spy movies!  This is Part 2 or a 2 Part show on From Russia With Love.

When Ian Fleming wrote From Russia With Love, the Soviet Union had not yet launched Sputnik, the first satellite ever put into space.

But by October 4th, 1957, Sputnik was successfully launched which began the official space race between the then Soviet Union and the United States – so the subject matter of the film was very much on everyone’s mind worldwide – what will happen in space, and what will tensions between the US and the Soviet Union bring to the world. Another great choice by EON Productions to produce this film in 1963.

From Russia with Love is the second EON Productions entry into the film series and it is an outstanding film. Many choose From Russia With Love as one of their favorite James Bond movies.  And we have to agree – this is definitely is one of our top 5 Bond films ever made by EON Productions because of the screenplay, the cast, and just how well the story unfolds before our eyes. This is top-notch Bond!   James Bond.

Sherlock Bond?   James Holmes?  James Bond is to spies what Sherlock Holmes is to detectives!  Let’s journey into this dark London world together and see what clues we can find!

Today, we’re going to do some sleuthing around London – well, metaphorically that is!  Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Ian Fleming created some of the best known literary characters this world has ever known.   Both Sherlock Holmes and James Bond made the leap from the pages of novels and short stories to the big screen – and nothing has been the same ever since.

Is it an Impossible task to bring a successful tv show to film?   Come with us as we dissect the first Mission: Impossible movie!

For the most part, Spy Movies have had their origin from books:  James Bond, Bourne Identity, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan stories, John Le Carre’s books, etc.   However, in 1996, Paramount Pictures and Cruise/Wagner Productions, released the first film of the Mission: Impossible series, based on the TV show.   Other spy-based tv shows wouldn’t get their US big-screen debuts until years later (namely I Spy in 2002 and Get Smart in 2008, even the Man From Uncle in 2013).

Dr. No, EON Productions first James Bond film based on Ian Fleming’s sixth James Bond 007 novel gets a big YES from movie-goers at the time of release in 1962, even more so now, and has been a staple of Bond films ever since.   Dr. No is Dr. Yes for spy movie fans, and new spy movie fans who are focused on Bourne and Mission: Impossible and more recent Bond films with Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig, would enjoy going back to the first James Bond film, Dr. No, to which, we think, they will also say Yes!

We look at historical events going on at the time, and how the real world events fueled interest in the movie!
