Back in the Spring I got to jump on The Cooler Then Ecto Podcast with DJ Rob Champion (Facebook, Instagram, Soundcloud) to talk Pierce Brosnan’s career as James Bond, in celebration of the 25th anniversary year of Goldeneye.
Since then, we’d always planned to link up again to talk Daniel Craig’s tenure ahead of No Time to Die, but since that film was pushed back yet again (to April 2021), we decided to talk Connery’s Bond instead (and we absolutely decided that weeks before his passing on October 31st; we have the receipts to prove it).
Now, seven films is a lot to talk about (especially for me who doesn’t talk much in everyday life), so, naturally, we broke it up into two separately recorded episodes, but it was still quite the challenge to prepare for (doubly so for Rob since the only one he’d ever seen previously was Goldfinger), and it certainly didn’t help that it was during one of the most distracting weeks of our lives.
Still, I’d say we did a pretty good job, and having someone well-experienced with these films and having someone seeing them with totally fresh eyes made for an ideal discussion pairing.
