Episode #137 - The Vindication of Ben’s Opinion - Philip Dewhurst & James Roberts Interview

A special episode dropping for you today as we are joined by two prominent names in the James Bond fan community at a very special event! We sit down with the president & founder of the British James Bond Fan Club Philip Dewhurst as well as the man behind James Bond Downunder James Roberts to not only learn more about what it is they do, but celebrate the 40th anniversary of Octopussy at a special screening of the film in Sydney. Both men tell us just how they got involved in the Bond fan community and why it is so important to have a strong fan base for a franchise such as James Bond. They also go over how the connection between Australia and Britain is important in keeping the fandom alive and just how passionate James Bond fans still are after all these years. Added to this we learn what brought Phil to Australia, whether or not more fan screenings could be a possibility and who they both would like to see as the next James Bond. It’s an epic chat with two epic people that you won’t want to miss!  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
