We've been expecting you: Simon Brew on Casino Royale

Simon Brew (@SimonBrew), journalist, author, podcaster, and publisher of Film Stories (@FilmStoriesPod), joins James Bond A-Z hosts Tom Butler, Brendan Duffy, and Tom Wheatley to talk about 2006's 'Casino Royale'. Simon shares his insight into the film landscape of 2006 that Daniel Craig's debut 007 was competing in, the initial backlash against Craig, and the film's success at the box office. Simon also sheds light on the studio politics that have shaped Daniel Craig's tenure, what his films have achieved, and where they've fallen short. We also talk to Simon about Film Stories, Film Stories Junior, his upcoming live shows, and the launch of his own Blu-ray label kicking off with a reissue of Sneakers.
