The 007 Files

S2E008 Inside spy cinema with SpyHards


Listen Later

In this episode of The 007 Files, Scott and Cam from SpyHards podcast join Bill Koenig to explore the wider world of spy fiction—and how James Bond sits squarely at its centre. The trio discuss why the spy genre offers so much more than just 007, while recognising how deeply the Bond franchise owes its DNA to earlier classics like North by Northwest.The conversation ranges from John le Carré’s gritty realism to tales from interviews with Bond alumni, including Luciana Paluzzi and Lana Wood. It's in these personal moments that the human side of Bond truly comes to life.They also reflect on Jeff Kleeman’s behind-the-scenes efforts to get Goldeneye made, and share thoughts on Amazon’s grip on the future of the franchise.Whether you're a die-hard Bond fan or simply fascinated by what goes on behind the scenes, this is a deep dive you won’t want to miss.

Recorded on 1st May 2025 in the USA, Canada and UK.
