Our preliminary rounds of the World Cup of Bond Villains continue with what we call Ersatz Blofelds. That is characters who might have been Blofeld if Eon had been able to make use of him or at the very least owe a great deal to Blofeld. We've identified fours villains: Karl Stromberg (Spy Who Love Me), Hugo Drax (Moonraker), Max Zorin (A View To A Kill) and er Elliott Carver (Tomorrow Never Dies).

Gary, Graham and Terry are kicking off 2018 with a thorough examination of the world of James Bond villainy. Over the next few months we'll be dissecting all the Bond villains, before slowly lowering them into a shark tank, closing the doors and assuming the it all goes to plan. At the conclusion of our exhaustive dive into this cavalcade of fearsome fiends we will hold a World Cup of Bond Villains, deciding once and for all, who is the greatest of them all... in our opinion. We kick off our festival of villainy with the most notorious fiend: Ernst Stavro Blofeld in all his guises. Blofeld first appears in the Ian Fleming novels and the subsequent films. At first he appears only in the shadows before he is revealed in dramatic fashion in You Only Live Twice. We look at how differently this character has changed with the different actors that have portrayed 007's most infamous nemesis. Download the MP3 or listen on the player below.

On this edition of the Oddjob Pod we discuss the three films in the 007 franchise that we characterise as "Peak Roger" - that being Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker & For Your Eyes Only. That is not to say that these are the best Bond films of Roger Moore's canon but these are the films that, in our opinion, represent his time as James Bond and when the franchise was at its peak.

The Oddjob Pod returns for another edition of James Bond chat. In this episode Gary, Terry and Graham discuss George Lazenby and his solitary 007 outing: On Her Majesty's Secret Service. This film is much loved by many Bond fans but often maligned by non-Bond aficionados. We discuss what we love and about this  movie and consider whether or not George deserves the criticism he received over the years. The timing of the episode is not entirely coincident with the recent release of Lazenby's new documentary, Becoming Bond. Download the MP3 or listen on the player below.

Gary, Terry and Graham are back for a new era of the OddJob Pod. With Gary now living down under we have decided to reboot the series with a new recording location, and a brand new look. For our first rebooted episode we discuss the Bond movies that see 007 from one actor to the next. How well or badly do these films manage the change and what are they trying to achieve. We also speculate as to what happens after Daniel Craig shuffles off the world of Bond. What kind of transition will we see in movie after next? Download the MP3 or listen on the player below.

Picture from The Nerds UncannyListeners to the OddJob Pod may already know that we are big soccer fans and podcasters. So it is, in front of a live audience, with great ceremony and much imbibing that we celebrated Gary's last few nights in the UK before moving to Australia, settling once and for all which is the best James Bond film through the only fair way possible: the incredibly convoluted 24 team format used in the 1982 FIFA World Cup. A warning, this episode was more of celebration than a podcast and much alcohol was consumed. Our thought processes may be hampered from time to time and sometimes the audience lost interest.

In this episode of the Oddjob Pod, Gary, Graham and Terry take a personal journey through the music of the James Bond films. Each of them select two pieces of music that correspond with classic scenes from Bond films and tell us what it is about that music or that scene that they love. Some of us choose more than two because they are greedy and need to have their legs slapped. Click here to download the Mp3 of the podcast and here for the Ogg Vorbis.
