006: A Fish That Winks

What films are most indicative of each actor's run at Bond? This episode of 'James Bond & Friends' is hosted by Paul Atkinson with guests David Leigh, Bill Koenig and James Page. With all quiet on the Bond 25 front, we assemble a panel to discuss a few timeless topics. Along the way we stumble on baby powder blue romper suits, film franchise formulas, MGM's 40-year financial slump, more licenced clothing suggestions, ageing 80s tech, clown suits, dated visual effects, drinking on the job, CGI meddling, the Moonrakerization of John Gardner, and a plan to bankrupt the New Zealand government. The recording took place on April 12th, 2019 in the USA, New Zealand and Spain. James Page and Paul Atkinson are co-founders of MI6-HQ.com and the magazine MI6 Confidential David Leigh runs thejamesbonddossier.com Bill Koenig runs the Spy Command at hmssweblog.wordpress.com #askbond speed round had questions from @tommycomelately, @danielrisk and @Anoopsri This podcast is copyright Pretitles LLC © 2019 Music credit 'Spy & Die' by Jay Man
