No Time to Die with Friends: Part Two

The James Bond Complex

*This episode was recorded on November 7th, 2021.

Hello, dear listeners!

Happy New Year to you and your loved ones. But before looking ahead to 2022 and the highly anticipated 60thanniversary of our favourite film franchise, we’ll spend just a couple more weeks looking back at the undisputed highlight of 2021, No Time to Die. Much like last week when Emery and Jason a delightful roundtable, Matt and Edgar do the same with a new trio of guests.

And what a band of Bond aficionados we’ve offered the mics to. Mike Reyes of Cinema Blend and established “Bond expert”, Bill Koenig of the Spy Command blog and pop culture historian, and Alan J Porter, co-author of The James Bond Lexicon and member of the On Her Majesty’s Secret Podcast fleet of shows.

With so many great minds together in one virtual room, it’s no wonder the breath of topics was wide: absentee guests due to hair salon appointments, doing a Naomi Harris double-bill with Venom 2, aunties betraying their nephews, getting biblical (No no, not that! Just listen to the episode…), CGI body parts, parents beating their Bond villain children, shots of pregnant women in 3D, and NEVER, EVER saying you have all the time in the world to a loved one.

So sit back, relax, and begin 2022 with us with our next to last episode reviewing NTTD, until of course Matt and Edgar do the traditional 2-part 4 hour long scene-by-scene review some time down the road. Obviously.

Thank you to Mike and Cinema Blend for allowing us to use a clip of their press junket interview last fall with the cast and crew of NTTD .
