The James Bond Complex episodes

  • Fleming Second Edition “The Spy Who Loved Me” With Bill Koenig
    Dear listeners, hello. We haven’t changed things up on terms of how we take care of our Fleming 2nd Edition episodes, but Ian did. For The Spy Who Loved Me, he turned the genre on its head and wrote it in the first person perspective of a young French-Canadian by the name of Vivienne Michel. We are joined by Bill Koenig of The Spy Command to dissect and discuss the only novel Ian Fleming disowned but we back it up as being a proper Bond book. In hopes you enjoy the journey through the Adirondacks!

  • Aqua Bond - Our Favourite Water Themed Scenes

    Hello dear listeners!


    Much like the episode we released a few weeks ago that concentrated on Bond movie scenes with a wintry setting, this week Matt and Edgar look back at those in which 007 is on or under water.


    There is a lot to talk about, and the hosts do their best to avoid the slippery slope of getting off topic. Among the topics are: shark corridors, Jaws, the worst way to die underwater, the first underwater stunt in the franchise, comparing Fleming to the films, writing novelizations, and more.


    So sit back, relax and let the James Bond Complex quench your thirst for more podcasting fun.

  • Zardoz starring Sean Connery (April's Fools Special)
    Just a few years after the release of "Diamonds Are Forever", Sean Connery starred in John Boorman's epic Sci-fi film; Zardoz. A bomb at the time of it's release. The film since become a cult classic. Will our hosts agree with the critics or is there something special about this movie worth revisiting. Listen in to find out!
    Beyond 1984, Beyond 2001, Beyond Love, Beyond Death.

  • THUNDERBALL: Reloaded!
    Hello dear listeners!
    For a story that the podcast hadn't discussed in such a long time (not since the first year of episodes), you're getting a lot of THUNDERBALL these days. That's right, it's back-to-back weeks of TB, and it wasn't even really planned this way!
    The original hosts Matt and Edgar sit down in the studio for to reload THUNDERBALL. There's no beat-by-beat discussion this time, but rather a more free-flowing conversation about a variety of topics relating both to the film as is, some behind-the-scenes shenanigans, and personal histories with the movie. Among the genius topics are: awful DVD covers, watching Bond movies on TQS in Québec in the 1990s, messing up the timeline by pretending you didn't record an episode that you actually did, the bigness of Bond, to dub or not to dub, Rick van Nutcracker, and much more!
    So sit back, relax, put your scuba gear on, and enjoy this latest episode of the James Bond Complex podcast. Would you pass us something to wear? Just the flip-flops will do, thank you.

  • Fleming Second Edition: "Thunderball" with guest Mathieu Nadeau

    Hello dear listeners!

    We have a confession to make. After unleashing last week’s episode on you, we felt bad about ourselves. After all, it’s the month of March and we’re so close to spring. Some of you may even be living it already, and here we were, spending an hour discussing James Bond movie scenes that occur in wintry settings.

    We do our best to make it up this week with the return of Fleming Second Edition. It’s that time again, and we’re discussing THUNDERBALL! There's no snow or ice to be seen in Nassau! As we are want to do with this special book series, we invite guests and have them to share some of their own thoughts and feelings on the men who were Ian Fleming and the literary 007. This time it’s a local Montrealer and friend of the show, Mathieu Nadeau, aka Matt #2! He's a familiar voice for those who listen to the annual Christmas Specials.

    Together he, Emery, and Edgar take a deep dive under the Disco Volante to reveal the treasure trove that is Fleming’s eighth novel - ninth book with "For Your Eyes Only". Together they engage in: appreciation fluctuations, uncalled-for OHMSS hatred, making mud pies, a cardboard hero controversy, bro science, the Fleming diet, the boys (Bond and Felix) being back, aqua poetry, and much more!

    So sit back, relax and let the James Bond Complex take you away to a beach in the Bahamas. No barracudas were harmed in the making of this episode.

  • Winter Bond
    Well it's still winter for a few more days and since 3 of the hosts happened to visit Québec city's Ice Hotel recently. It sparked a disucssion about James Bond's best winter themed Ice, Snow or just generally cold themed moments. So grab an Ice-cold martini, put on your skis and get ready for winter 007 style!

  • Quantum of Solace full review with David Zaritsky
    Hello dear listeners. In our valiant efforts to bring you our opinion of James Bond, from Fleming to film and everything in between, we sometimes need an outside opinion. That's why for this weeks review of the 2008 film Quantum of Solace we invited Daniel Craig to come cat with us. His expletive filled response can't be shared here, so instead we asked David Zaritsky to come have a chat. Hope you enjoy this banter about a film some people don't pay alot of attention to, but should.

  • Goldfinger Second Edition - With Birb, James Birb!

    Hello dear listeners!

    It's been quite some time since we've sat down to discuss Ian Fleming's original creation, the literary James Bond 007. The wait is over! Fleming Second Edition is back in full force with the seventh novel, GOLDFINGER. For the occasion, we required the intelligence and sensibilities of someone steeped in Fleming lore. Who better than Birb, James Birb from Instagram?

    Emery and Birb leave no stone unturned in their dissection of GOLDFINGER, offering such salient talking points as: how the film is superior to the book, the relationship between masters and servants, Edgar's note doing the heavy lifting, recurring themes throughout the series, Fleming's moral code and his fantasies, quoting the 80s band Slaquer, and how parrots select which Bond film to watch.

    So sit back, relax, and crack open your dusty copy of GOLDFINGER. Emery and Birb have it all sorted out. This is no parrot(dy)!
