Podcast # 252 - Bond, James Bond

[Rico]

A very special cast this weekend.  Meds and his mate Peter discuss James Bond.  The franchise, the films, the legend.  I know everyone will love hearing their take on Bond.  It's a great podcast and I really appreciate them doing this for me and all of you (and also giving me a bit more free time on my birthday).  Cheers guys!

That doesn't look like a vodka martini (shaken not stirred) in those glasses to me!  :)

Looking foward to this Bond cast.

I'm looking forward to hearing this one. I saw just this week that Craig said the next Bond starts shooting late 2010 for a 2011 release.

Great Job on the Podcast Meds and Peter, I liked how both of you went through all the Movies, and gave insight and opinions on them. Certainly made me want to watch a few of them again, even Moonraker ;) . I was a bit of the Roger Moore era as well, as he is always the first person who pops into my mind when I think of Bond.

Half way through and loving it.  You guys crack me up!

Bloody brilliant Meds and Peter! I too am a long time Bond fan. My Dad introduced me to Bond and it has always been something we have shared and has a special place in my heart and life. First Bond film I saw in theater was "the Spy Who Loved Me" and yes, Meds, that opening sequence was outstanding and when the parachute opens and the music kicks in, I still get goosebumps! Now, "Moonraker". I must come to the defense. I was 9 when "Moonraker" debuted. Coming of of Star Wars, having Star Trek also hitting the big screen, AND the first launch of the Space Shuttle only 2 years away, I LOVED it. I was very much into NASA and the Shuttle program, visiting the Kennedy Space Center every spring when my Mom and I would visit my grandparents in central Florida. "Moonraker" had amazing effects for the day and incredible set design. Yes, it doesn't age well, but it will always have a special place in my heart.
So this afternoon as I was listening and loving the podcast, I was on my bike on a training ride. As the podcast ended, I  heard the first few piano notes of Carly Simons theme and I literally became overwhelmed with emotion. So many feeling came rushing into me, taking me back to those days where James Bond was magic for me. I was a sight, ripping through the Arizona desert singing outloud to "The Spy Who Loved Me".

Brilliant.

Well done, gents!  My first Bond experience was seeing 'Diamonds Are Forever' in the theater as a young boy.  Sean Connery was the coolest guy imaginable to me.

Great job with the Bond podcast.  I listened today in the car, and I had a great time.  I loved your banter and your sense of humor.  Excellent topic, entertainingly presented.
