AND YOU’VE HAD YOUR SIX

A total of twelve directors have had the privilege of directing a Bond film. From Terence Young to Cary Fukunaga, different styles are clear to see from 1962 to 2021. Suhan and Alan discuss their favourite directors and potential candidates to direct Bond 26.

This time around, Suhan and Alan are discussing which Roger Moore Bond film is the best. Arguably, the actor who divides opinion the most. However, what would we do without Sir Roge? He was the first actor to be brave enough to change Bond into a more light-hearted secret agent. And he is of course unrivalled as the actor to portray Bond the most an impressive seven times - still holding on to this record today!

In this episode, we are talking Dalton…Timothy Dalton. The man who brought Fleming back, and the man who produced two of the best films of the entire series. He was such a good Bond that the public couldn’t keep up with him. He undeniably embodied what Daniel Craig is being lauded for today - a vulnerable, gritty, ruthless hero. Dalton - the criminally underrated, true Bond way ahead of his time.

Undeniably, both these films are absolute classics! Can Suhan and Alan decide which one is their favourite? In addition, we discuss the director of these two iconic films - Martin Campbell. Having done such an unbelievable job re-booting the Bond franchise twice, do Suhan and Alan think Martin Campbell should return for a hat-trick of re-boots to direct Bond 26?

The pre-title sequence is a unique aspect of a Bond film. So many iconic ones which set the tone of the story ahead. Such pressure on the film-makers to make each one memorable and spectacular, but new and innovative. What pre-title sequences will Suhan and Alan rank as their favourites and least favourites?

It’s time for the second instalment of our No Time To Die review. Plenty of interesting discussion in our previous episode, so let’s see what this one brings.

It’s time to review the 25th Bond film - No Time To Die. A film which may go down in history as the one that saved cinema. But after all the hype and delays, was it worth it? Suhan and Alan discuss their thoughts.

We are back after a little break! Back with a bang, Suhan and Alan discuss four key ‘What if?’ scenarios in the world of Bond.

What if Sean Connery starred in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service?

What if Timothy Dalton made a third film?

What if Bond killing Elektra King was the finale of The World Is Not Enough?

What if Spectre had a different finale?

Tune in to find out our opinions on these moments that could have shaped the Bond franchise very differently indeed.

Many reviews, polls and forums frequently position From Russia With Love as the number one Bond film, or at least in the top five. However, some may argue it lacks a bit of punch. Suhan and Alan discuss the film in detail within the context of the demands of the modern movie-goer compared with the demands of true Bond geeks like us. Will we see another Bond film of the ilk of From Russia With Love? Or will it remain in the golden vault of 1963?

It’s all action in this episode. This time, Suhan and Alan discuss whether the Bond film franchise is stuck in an era of violence at all costs. Some iconic action scenes have made Bond what it is today, but has it gone too far? Is it time to go back to the roots permanently and for espionage to be at the forefront of the modern Bond film? These questions, and more, are debated in this compelling episode.
