96. ARCHIVE EPISODE (2015): Bond Part 1 - Sean Connery (1962-1965)

Originally recorded and published in 2015 for our former podcast, Filmwerk. Please excuse our less-than-stellar audio quality efforts back then! With Bond in the news again, and in the run up to our 2025 Bond update episode coming later this month, we’ve decided to reach way back into the depths of our archives and resuscitate one of our classic filmography review series’; our nine-part, complete James Bond movie retrospective, originally released back in 2015 to coincide with the release of Spectre (2015), plus a single-episode, stand-alone return in 2021 for a review of No Time to Die (2021). On this first part, Steven and Benjamin dig in to the first four Sean Connery outings and share their thoughts on the infancy of the film series based on the popular spy novels by Ian Fleming: Dr. No (1962), From Russia With Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964) and Thunderball (1965). Stay plugged in! We’ll be rolling out the other parts of this series over the coming days x
