James Bond is a brand - that's Ocean's opening take as The Film Board discusses the 25th 007 outing, No Time to Die. And with such an iconic brand comes responsibility. How has Daniel Craig's tenure as Bond evolved the franchise, and is this change permanent? Join Ocean Murff and Kyle Olson for an emotional yet nuanced conversation on Craig's final mission as 007. This isn't the reaction you might expect. While there's appreciation for the spectacle, our hosts find the story lacking and have complex feelings on the direction of the Bond series. Tune in as we break down if No Time to Die shakes or stirs the Bond legacy for the better.
