Before Star Wars, there was Bond. James Bond. It is a film franchise that has inspired everyone in in the industry from Steven Spielberg to Christopher Nolan to Rian Johnson. Eight actors have (unofficially) played the character over its almost sixty years in existence. And there is another one coming out this April. So what better time for the Binge Movie Aftertaste to gear up and cover a franchise that has been requested for years. Myself, Adam, and Matt are going to fire through a gun barrel the entire 26 film franchise, cultivating in a review of Cary Fukunaga's No Time To Die, which is being heralded as Daniel Craig's final bow as the character.

With For Your Eyes Only, Agent 007 proved once again that he was here to stay. But there was a new problem on the horizon. After winning a long awaited lawsuit giving him certain rights to the original story behind Thunderball, Kevin McClory was now free to make his version of the story starring Sean Connery entitled Never Say Never Again. But instead of replacing their aging star Roger Moore, Eon decided to have him front their 1983 movie Octopussy. Even if Eon won the box office war that ensued, do we think it was a warranted victory?

We then move on to a movie which had all the makings of a huge success. With recent Oscar winner Christopher Walken and eccentric Grace Jones cast as villains, Eon returned to the screen with 1985's A View to a Kill. But an ill advised decision to have this be 57 year old Moore's swan song may have proven that Bond was ripe to be picked. Even if critics ravaged the film upon first release, do the three of us feel it to be misunderstood?

Listen below to perhaps our most scatter brained review of the series yet.

Before Star Wars, there was Bond. James Bond. It is a film franchise that has inspired everyone in in the industry from Steven Spielberg to Christopher Nolan to Rian Johnson. Eight actors have (unofficially) played the character over its almost sixty years in existence. And there is another one coming out this April. So what better time for the Binge Movie Aftertaste to gear up and cover a franchise that has been requested for years. Myself, Adam, and Matt are going to fire through a gun barrel the entire 26 film franchise, cultivating in a review of Cary Fukunaga's No Time To Die, which is being heralded as Daniel Craig's final bow as the character.

After ruling the 60s and thriving in popularity through the 70s, James Bond hit the 80s running with For Your Eyes Only. Armed with a returning Roger Moore, a new director and an earworm opening theme performed by Sheena Easton, the movie came and proved that Agent 007 was hotter than ever. But will the three of us already be suffering from Bond fatigue and turn against it?

Then we have the second and (for now) final non Eon entry in the franchise. With the lawsuit settled, producer Kevin McClory finally got his wish and produced his supposed true vision of what Thunderball was, in his eyes, supposed to be. He shelled out a lot of money to bring in not only the man who declared he was done with the franchise Sean Connery, he also reigned in then hot director of The Empire Strikes Back Irvin Kershner, Never Say Never Again was released in 1983 to much fanfare, How do we feel about it?

After those reviews continue listening, as we address what we are going to be doing about the news that the release of the movie we are leading up to, No Time To Die, has been delayed until November.
