We are very happy to collaborate with our friends at Wide Flank to talk about Ian Fleming's 1957 novel, From Russia With Love as well as the film and video game of the same name. Wide Flank is a podcast about video games, kind of like a book club for video games, we call it a game club.

We thought it would only be right to do a full crossover episode covering the triumvirate 007 adaptation here, featuring a game, a book, and a movie. I love Wide Flank and I think you will too.

You can find more Wide Flank here.

Join their discord to play along with them.

If you're reading along with us, our next book and film is: The Luck of Barry Lyndon as well as Kubrick's, Barry Lyndon.
