  • Ian Fleming's ''Thrilling Cities''

    Hello dear listeners!

    The wait is finally over. Ian Fleming returns to the podcast!

    Yes, we ask you the listeners to take a round world trip with us this week, from Hong Kong to Honolulu to Berlin. Fleming was a man of the world, and Matt and Edgar would like to think of themselves as such too. However, given the unfortunate situation with the…’’you know what’’ afflicting the world currently, the next best option is to read and discuss Thrilling Cities, a collection of essays written by Fleming himself in 1959 and 1960 for the Sunday Times.

    The master spy novelist always had a nose for the unique, the sexy, the exotic, and whatever delivered a good frisson of excitement. This quality shines brightly in Thrilling Cities, so much so that the boys couldn’t contain themselves with topics: living back-to-back Friday the 13ths, thinking of a special SF moment when Fleming woos a geisha, New York the Big Rotten Apple, gangsters actually being really terrific people, marine life conservationism via destroying said marine life, our aim of obtaining official diver licences and surf’s up dude!!!!

    So sit back, relax, and discover a marvellous collection of, well, thrilling cities. Circa 1959 and 1960, mind you. So far in April 2021, it’s the safest way to travel!

  • An Intrepid Throwback : Licence to Cook with Edward Biddulph
    Back in 2019 Emery of Intrepid fame did his first interview within the Bond community, taking time to talk to Edward Biddulph, author of Licence to Cook. The cookbook is unique in that it breaks down food from the novels and boy does 007 like to eat. Hope you all enjoy this delicious throwback.

  • The Lost Adventures of James Bond - a chat with Mark Edlitz
    Hello dear listeners!
    James Bond lore is replete with missed opportunities, "what ifs", and close calls. If only someone had the wherewithal to research, investigate, and collect all of those glorious potential stories into a single compendium. 
    There is such a person in fact! This week on the show we welcome filmmaker, documentarian, writer Mark Edlitz, who in late 2020 published "The Lost Adventures of James Bond: Timothy Dalton's Third and Fourth Bond Films, James Bond Jr...& Other Unmade or Forgotten 007 Projects."
    Whoah, that title is bit of a mouthful but that's only because there is a goldmine of brilliant content from the front cover (courtesy of fan favourite artist Sean Longmore) to the back. Mark was more than generous to spend some time with Matt and Edgar on a Sunday afternoon to discuss the his journey as a writer and Bond fan, the book's genesis, as well as plenty of juicy tidbits.
    We won't spoil too much for the listeners, nor do we in the episode itself, but among the sensational teases are Dalton's comedically tinged Bond film, Sean Connery vs a Yeti monster, Tobe Stephens' multifaceted vocal interpretations of James Bond, and more James Bond Jr. behind the scenes content than most people would ever guess they could read about. 
    So sit back, relax, and come with us as we imagine how all these forgotten, misplaced, and never made stories play in our heads.

  • The Book Of Bond or, Every Man His Own 007 by Lt. Col. William "Bill" Tanner (Kingsley Amis)

    Hello dear viewers, It's spring time; a moment of rebirth for nature as our days get longer, the weather nice and the snow slowly melts away here in Montreal. The perfect time to get in shape, change your wardrobe, learn new skills.  To achieve these new goals, Bond fans of the sixties had "The Book Of Bond". A book written by Bill Tanner himself that gives wannabe secret agents the essential know-how to possibly become the next member of the 00-section.  

    Yeah... Right! This short tongue-in-cheek book was actually written by one time continuation author Kinglsey Amis and is a humorous look at James Bond, his skills, abilities and personal taste.  Is this long out of print book a lost gem or plain ol' claptrap.

  • Marketing the Bond Brand with David Zaritsky - Part 2

    Hello dear listeners,

    We got our mind on our money and our money and our mind. It's all about that marketing money, baby!

    We're back this week with the conclusion to our conversation with David Zaritsky from The Bond Experience about how the 007 brand has been sold to fans and casuals alike over the decades. In Part 2 we cover AVTAK, GE, DAD, SF and NTTD.

    Frankly, Matt and Edgar are but pupils when it comes to such a domain, so we suggest that you mostly pay attention to David's keen insights but stay for our pithy remarks. Well, some of them are pithy. 

    So sit back, relax, pick up a copy of an advertising for dummies book and tag along for another fascinating instalment of the James Bond Complex.
