James Bond & Friends

How do the films most faithful to Fleming stack up against the best original adventures?  The panel selects their favourite film from the franchise that is closest to the Ian Fleming source material and - conversely - picks out their best wholly original adventure and we see how the two shortlists compare against each other in a theoretical boxset battle. Along the way, we credit Connery for his commitment, deep dive into a wasted title, discover a bargain book shop, and relive a white knuckle drive that only a true Bond fan would endure.  The recording took place on October 11th in the USA, UK, and Spain.  James Page is a co-founder of MI6-HQ.com and the magazine MI6 Confidential  David Leigh runs thejamesbonddossier.com  Bill Koenig runs the Spy Command at hmssweblog.wordpress.com Joseph Darlington is Head of Section at beingjamesbond.com This podcast is copyright Pretitles LLC © 2019 Music credit 'Spy & Die' by Jay Man
