James Bond Radio: 007 News, Reviews & Interviews!

On today's show we interview the author of 'The Battle for Bond,' Robert Sellers. We talk all about the Kevin McClory debacle, from what might have happened had Alfred Hitchcock agreed to direct, to the real choices Fleming made for who should play Bond. Discover who came up with the original idea for Thunderball (it wasn't Fleming) and find out who was the guilty party in the plagiarism case!

Get ready for a 2 hour epic...though be warned, you might just come away with a different opinion of Ian Fleming after you hear today's episode.

On today's show, we talk to James Bond author Raymond Benson. In our first celebrity interview, we hear all about the process behind writing a Bond novel, from the research, to outlining the story. We hear the incredible story behind how Raymond got the job, the amazing travel stories and his friendship with a certain Mr. Hugh Hefner. Do not miss this episode!

Thunderball, the second most successful Bond movie of all time, after Skyfall. Today, we go in depth in an epic 2 hour episode, discussing the movie scene by scene. We reveal the long lasting mystery of what a "Thunderball" actually is, what we think about Largo's henchman Vargas and even the weird multiple cuts of Thunderball there are floating around.

On today's episode, we talk to Hollywood supremo and 'Shaken, Not Stirred' author Aaron Cooley. We talk about his book, his work with director Joel Schumacher and of course, his love of Bond.

Today, we're looking at everybody's favourite gadgetmaster, Q. We pick our top 15 Bond gadgets, take a look at some real WW2 era spy gadgets and pay tribute to Desmond Llewelyn.

Welcome to the 007th episode of James Bond Radio. Today, we're looking at the big one, 1964's Goldfinger. This is the movie that took Bond from successful to stratospheric, bringing with it the peak of Bondmania. We go in depth on Bond, Q, Pussy, the DB5 and Gert Frobe's delightful wardrobe choices.

Today we're looking at the BBC America/Sky Atlantic mini-series "Fleming." I think it's safe to say this show has had what many would call "mixed reviews," so we're dedicating today's episode to our thoughts.

Do we like Dominic Cooper's portrayal? Can we distinguish the facts from fiction? Did we enjoy the show or were we found to be screaming at our TVs? Find out in today's episode of James Bond Radio!

Here we are this week looking at Bond #2, From Russia, With Love. Many Bondsters claim this movie is the best of them all, so we go through this baby with a fine tooth comb discussing everything from Bond's sloppy skills on the Orient Express, to the sad story of Kerim Bey actor Pedro Armendariz, while also (of course) chatting about Tania's naked bottom.

Welcome to episode 4 of James Bond Radio. In today's show, we're talking about all the Bond music that never made the cut. We hear the original recording of Goldfinger, as performed by Anthony Newley and NOT Shirley Bassey. We hear Johnny Cash's attempt at Thunderball, Alice Cooper's attempt at The Man With The Golden Gun, a solid attempt at The World Is Not Enough by British band Straw, that might be even better than the final version and many more!

We'd love it if you could spread the word about James Bond Radio whether that's tweeting/sharing/posting or good old fashioned word of mouth.

Episode 3 of James Bond Radio, goes right back to where it all started on the silver screen, with our review of Dr. No.

We go through the movie scene by scene, discussing everything from Honey Ryder's bikini, to our list of Dr. No related BondFacts, to just what is Dr. No doing when he peaks underneath Bond's bedsheets? Today's episode also features extracts from Chris' outraged letter to Eon Productions, after his first viewing of Quantum of Solace.

Look out for episode 4 coming next friday!
