James Bond Radio: 007 News, Reviews & Interviews!

For the latest episode of The Comics of Bond, Jack Lugo interviews writer Van Jensen.

We talk about Dynamite Comics' Live & Let Die adaptation, we find out Van's answers to the 007 quickfire questions, and learn all about his work on the Bond comics.

The Music of Bond returns this week with Tom and JW exploring No Time To Die's composer, Dan Romer.

We look at Dan's history in the business, and listen to some of his previous efforts from Cary Fukunaga's, 'Maniac' to his work on 'FarCry 5.'

Dan Gale returns this week with special guest, Richard Overall. Richard's work on the Cartoon Network series 'The Adventures of Gumball' was recently brought to JBR's attention after a certain episode titled, 'The Agent' appeared on Youtube. The brief episode synopsis reads: "Gumball and Darwin's clothes go missing after a swimming lesson; when Gumball is forced to wear a tuxedo from the lost and found office, he believes it makes him look like a certain dapper British secret agent." What follows is 11 minutes of genius-level Bond references that will delight any 007 fan.

So, sit back, pour yourself a Vesper and meet the man behind the action.

This week Tom returns with Brian Dobson to reminisce about their pilgrimage to Piz Gloria to celebrate the 50th anniversary of On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

You'll hear what it was like to spend an hour hanging out with George Lazenby at the bar. You'll discover what it was like to circle Piz Gloria from a helicopter with distinguished members of the world press. And you'll hear stories of grown men in tears at the sheer enormity of the occasion. Not only that, we talk about our Bond 'Euro Trip' across Switzerland to numerous Goldfinger locations, our visit to the Goldeneye Dam, and how we finished up the jaunt scoping out Mr. White's house from the waters of Lake Como.

James Bond Radio Is Back In Action!

The all-new JBR returns with a roundtable discussion of all things No Time To Die. Agents Sears, Williams, Dobson & Lugo are your hosts in a long form chat about next year's brand new Bond.

-- FROM CHRIS --

Dear JBR family,

I hope you're all excited about 'No Time To Kill.' Let's hope it's an absolute belter!

This is a bit of a heartfelt message, but with so many ongoing things at the moment, unfortunately, I'll be stepping away from JBR for the foreseeable future.

It's been such a fun five years of Bondage. I'm incredibly proud of what JBR has become. It was brilliant to meet so many fellow Bond geeks, and it was especially cool seeing all the JBR communities spring up around the globe, but the time has come for me to move on.

Sometimes life gets in the way of Bond, and sadly this is one of those times.

So this is Agent Wright signing off.

Au revoir.

PS. Roll on 3rd April 2020!

-- FROM TOM --

JBR Family,

What can I say? After 5 years and 2 million downloads, I'm of course gutted to see our man in Cardiff go, but like all good things, it has to come to an end eventually.

As far as the future of the podcast goes? I'm not yet sure. I'll be thinking things through over the next few weeks. Ultimately I need to go with what feels right in my gut. Whether that's following Chris' lead and bowing out gracefully, or coming back with a kiss kiss bang bang. I'm sure with a bit of reflection the right decision will come soon enough.

Whatever happens, I want to thank all the members of the JBR family from the bottom of my heart. Without you guys, JBR wouldn't have lasted beyond the first year, let alone five.

Once I've done some thinking, I'll of course be in touch.

For now, let's enjoy this little highlight reel of some of our more "professional" moments from the last 5 years.

Thanks again everybody,

Tom

PS. Oh by the way, in case you were wondering how I feel about Bond 25's new title?...I f***ing love it, mate!

He talks about each of his fellow cast members, director John Glen, the Broccoli family, how he got the role, various shooting locations around Florida and Mexico, what the first Bond movie he ever saw in the cinema was, how he approached playing Hawkins, what it was like to meet Prince Charles and Lady Diana at the film's London premiere, what his relationship with Bond fans has been like over the years, as well as his friendships with Sylvester Stallone and Dennis Hopper.
