The Intrepid 007 Podcast

James Bond, in Ian Fleming's novel, was a specialist in unarmed combat and self defense. So much so, his pet project was to present a manual for use within MI6. I on the other hand am not an expert, but an intermediate practitioner of Kenpo Karate. Learn all about my personal journey and why self defense is an Essential Bond Skill .

You may have seen last week's video on YouTube, you may not have. But if you want to give us a listen in the car, while working, taking part in the #bond25fitnesschallenge well, your ears can thank me, because here is an hour an a half of me, Edgar and Matt from the James Bond Complex, Bud West from the Bond Brain and Ray Kromphold from The Bond Armory. Enjoy! See you next week for Ian Fleming's Birthday! 

The following preview will be in French only.

Bonjour à tous et voici mon tout premier episode francophone. Enregistré au moment d'une game de Poker entre amis, c'est une belle table ronde entre amis. On ajse de 007 bien sur mais aussi de la situation générale qu'on vit. 

Back in October, I offered a triple review; Shaken, the official 007 cocktail book, Licence To Cook, by Edward Biddulph, and Omnibus 001. I did a follow up episode to Shaken and a full interview with Edward Biddulph, and now its time to go in depth on Omnibus 001. One of many collections of James Bond serial comics, this one concentrates on Flemings early works, drawn by John McLusky. 

In our first parody episode we talk about the Austin Powers series. 3 movies (with a 4th possibly ion the works) of Mike Myers feuled hilarity, as voted by you, the fans! You're welcome!

So this episode is basically a rant on the woes of confinement and the #bond25fitnesschallenge

Now it is time to complete the trilogy! The Bourne Ultimatum, both the film and novel were the final installments in their respective mediums. Robert Ludlum's final Bourne novel and what we thought was Matt Damon's last outing as Bourne (more on that another time). Let's dive deep into another exciting comparison. 

On our continuing series Man Talk, we are discussing the seven cardinals sins and their relation to men and James Bond. The next two will actually split the final four, as they deal with sins and vices less explored in the world of 007 but important none the less. Wrath, aka revenge and Envy, aka jealousy are on the menu. 

One week removed from the news from last Wednesday, the show must go on! I talk Operation Cold Reception, the joint mission from November with The James Bond Complex, as well as Operation Double Bourbon, again with Matt and Edgar. We forge ahead with new content and exciting times! 

This week on the show its back to Jason Bourne for the Bourne Supremacy, the second film and novel. This time, its way off. No shared plot and plenty of twists and turns.
