0050 | Trivia Bondnanza Dec 19, 2020

Show notes

Just like the Bond franchise, we've gone all out to celebrate our 50th. 2020 has been a hell of a year, so we thought we'd have a bit of fun before Christmas and see just how much Bond knowledge has rubbed off on these three dirty devils. Play along and let us know how you went. Thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout the year. Très Bond will return.

0049 | Top 5 Allies Dec 12, 2020

Show notes

They're Bond's best buddies, always there for him in a pinch and, usually, paying for their loyalty with their lives. In this episode, three best mates from Down Under have their say on who was the bestest of Bond's mates and who needed to be kicked out of the group chat.

0048 | Title Sequences Dec 05, 2020

Show notes

The title sequences for the James Bond films are arguably the most iconic moments in each film. Dripping with classic and classy imagery, these titles are quintessentially Bond. That said, they're not all winners, some are absolute turkeys. Sit back, and relax, as we take you through the best and the worst of the Bond title sequences.

0047 | Top 5 Gadgets Nov 28, 2020

Show notes

Now, pay attention, 007 fans. This episode has been perfected, out of years of patient research, to determine which are the best and worst gadgets to have come from Q branch. And, naturally, all the usual refinements... which is basically just three dirty devils ranting, rambling, and raving. Bring it back in one piece.

0046 | Operation: Kid Brother Nov 21, 2020

Show notes

"You have betrayed me!" Those were the words Sir Sean Connery shouted at Lois Maxwell when he learned she had signed on for this Italian-made Bond parody, starring his younger brother, Neil. One can only imagine what he must have said when Bernard Lee, Adolfo Celi, Daniella Bianchi, Anthony Dawson, and Yasuko Yama also jumped ship to spoof not only the Bond films but, seemingly, Connery's fame. Was this just a shameless cash-grab exploiting Bond mania and the Connery name, or did this group of Bond alumni craft an absolute banger?

0045 | From Russia, With Love (Novel) Nov 14, 2020

Show notes

It was Kennedy's favourite, a critical hit, and its popularity secured the film franchise's birth but many things that were de rigueur for the 1950s have fallen out of fashion since. What of Fleming's 1957 Cold War thriller? Is it a certified banger, or will this whole thing end in a whimper?

0044 | Bloodstone Nov 07, 2020

Show notes

Bloodstone had the misfortune to be released at the same time as the hotly anticipated remake of Goldeneye. With that being the case, it fell through the cracks of both the gaming world and the Bond community. What little attention it received was lukewarm, at best. A decade on, we revisit Bloodstone to determine whether it's a diamond-in-the-rough or a cheap knockoff.

0043 | Ranking the James Bond Actors Oct 31, 2020

Show notes

The oft used phrase is 'that more men have walked on the moon than have donned James Bond's dinner jacket' and debates have raged for decades as to which of the six wore it best. Now it falls to three best mates in Sydney, Australia to compile their most controversial and divisive list; who stood tall and faced it all & who fell short.

0042 | Spy Hard Oct 24, 2020

Show notes

Leslie Nielsen was the undisputed king of the spoof film and Bond had escaped his withering deadpan style until this 1996 effort. Spy Hard gathered a plethora of comedy stars & pop-culture cameos and featured a theme-tune by the king of parody songs. So why does no-one talk about this film anymore? It's lesser-known, even within the Bond fan community, and copies of the film are hard to find. Is this a lost gem or a steaming pile? I think you know.

0041 | Actors Who Could Be Bond Oct 17, 2020

Show notes

Sean, George, Roger, Timothy, Pierce, Daniel and... who's next? Or should one of those names be scrubbed from the record and replaced with another? These are the questions we're answering this week in an episode full of judgment and speculation as three dirty devils from Australia take on the unenviable task of casting James Bond.
