Rekindling Our Bonds

We're back with more Bond with 1971's Diamond's Are Forever starring the president of Scotland himself, Sean Connery. The last of an era before we head into a new chapter of Bond & Las Vegas is about to e-x-p-l-o-d-e with excitement, now that Bond's on the beat! Daniel and I visit sin city and the sleeziest Bond movie there is. A notorious stinker among fans, but one I have a personal affinity for- will it live up to it's reception or will we find a new sparkling facet to this diamond? Dan's family has seen his new art shed, together we saw Tomorrow Never Dies in the theater, & we've discovered the key to being productive in your art- all in our latest episode of the Rekindling Our Bonds Podcast. And because we didn't say at the end of this episode, our next episode will be on the Robert Zemeckis film, Castaway, from 2000. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I let Daniel pick our next episode as a way of breaking things up and he picked a doozy! Witness our first encounter in math class, hear the story of Doug, and listen to us talk about a movie from Dan's childhood.

Released in 1964. Written by Richard Maibaum and Paul Dehn. Directed by Guy Hamilton. Starring Sean Connery, Honor Blackman, Gert Frobe, Shirley Eaton, Tania Mallet, and Harold Sakata. Theme song sung by Shirley Bassey. It's the 'gold standard' for the Bond franchise, Goldfinger. All the pieces of a typical Bond film are finally here, but does it all add up to a masterpiece? It's a Bond film so, yes! They're all masterpieces in their own way. Except maybe Die Another Day... but we'll see when we get there! Strap in, buckle up, and get launched through the roof of our car by our ejector seat! Its Golllldfiiiiinngerrrrrrrrr! The man with the Midas touch! Hosted on Acast.

It's time to get romantic in what I would consider to be the most Hitchcockian Bond film. Its 1963's From Russia with Love. Written by Richard Maibaum. Directed by Terence Young. Starring Sean Connery, Pedro Armendariz, Lotte Lenya, Robert Shaw, Bernard Lee, and Daniela Bianchi. Theme song sung by Matt Munro. We're 2 movies in and we're talking about Stevie Spielberg and Georgie Lucas already.

It's 1962's DR. NO. Written by Richard Maibaum, Johanna Harwood, and Berkley Mather. Directed by Terence Young. Starring Sean Connery, Ursula Andress, John Kitzmiller, Joseph Wiseman, and Jack Lord. Based on the book by Ian Fleming. This one's more detective story than action movie but it's dripping with style and makes you feel like you're on vacation. Crack a Red Stripe and jump in the boat because we're headed to Crab Key and there might be a dragon protecting a facility watched over by a man with metal hands! Hosted on Acast.
