#187: MI6 Mailbag May 22, 2020

Show notes

This week Tom and Brian open up the MI6 Mailbag with special guest, Darren Noble. Eagle-eared listeners will remember us mention JBR listener Darren as our 'kindest in the community' choice during the James Bond 25 Day Challenge episode, so we thought who better than ol' Dazzy Nobs to join us on this week's episode.

We'll be answering listener questions covering: The future of 007 post 'No Time To Die, whether serialised adventures are better than standalone stories, we reflect on Craig's Bondian legacy, ponder what one does with Blofeld once Daniel leaves, and much more.

Tune in for this week's 00-discussion.

Show notes

It's time to bring 007 back to 1983 on this week's, The Music of Bond.

#183: When Harry Met Cubby With Robert Sellers Apr 17, 2020

Show notes

This week's podcast sees the return of Robert Sellers. Long time listeners will remember Robert from his first JBR appearance talking about his book, 'The Battle For Bond,' (podcast #012) way back in 2014.

Robert is back with a new Bond book titled, 'When Harry Met Cubby: The Story of the James Bond Producers.'

Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman remain the most successful producing partnership in movie history. But their relationship was fraught almost from the very beginning. With such contrasting personalities, their interactions often span out of control. They managed to drive away their coveted star, Sean Connery, and ultimately each other.

No other film franchise inspires tourism the way the James Bond series does. From Switzerland's revolving Piz Gloria restaurant that was featured prominently in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" to Thailand's island of Khao Phing Kan where the climax of "The Man with the Golden Gun" was set, Bond movie locations continue to attract countless visitors each year. And topping the travel bucket list of every serious Bond fan is the country of Jamaica, where scenes from "Dr. No," "Live and Let Die," and the upcoming "No Time to Die" were shot.

This week, Variety writer, Matt Chernov joins us to talk about his recent Jamaican 007 adventure.
