Podcast appearances and mentions of Albert R Broccoli

fWotD Episode 2883: The Spy Who Loved Me (novel) Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 27 March 2025 is The Spy Who Loved Me (novel).The Spy Who Loved Me is the ninth novel and tenth book in Ian Fleming's James Bond series, first published by Jonathan Cape on 16 April 1962. It is the shortest and most sexually explicit of Fleming's novels, as well as the only Bond novel told in the first person. Its narrator is a young Canadian woman, Viv Michel. Bond himself does not appear until two-thirds of the way through the book, arriving at precisely the right moment to save Viv from being raped and murdered by two criminals. Fleming wrote a prologue to the novel giving the character Viv credit as a co-author.The story uses a recurring motif of Saint George against the dragon, and contains themes of power, and the moral ambiguity between those acting with good and evil intent. As the narrator who tells her own backstory and expresses her emotions and motives, Viv has been described as the best realised and most rounded female character in the Bond canon. The reviewers were largely negative, with some expressing a desire for a return to the structure and form of the previous Bond novels. In a letter to his editor after the reviews had been published, Fleming reflected that "the experiment has obviously gone very much awry".Following the negative reactions of critics, Fleming attempted to suppress elements of the novel: he blocked a paperback edition in the United Kingdom and, when he sold the film rights to Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli, they were permitted to use the title but none of the plot of the book. In the 1977 film The Spy Who Loved Me, the tenth in the Eon Productions series, only the title and the character of one of the villains, Jaws, is taken from the book. The film was the third to star Roger Moore as Bond. A heavily adapted version of The Spy Who Loved Me appeared in The Daily Express newspaper in daily comic strip format between 1967 and 1968; a British paperback edition of the novel was published after Fleming's death.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:59 UTC on Thursday, 27 March 2025.For the full current version of the article, see The Spy Who Loved Me (novel) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Matthew.

Send us a textWell, that's a wrap on the 97th Academy Awards for 2025 -- and boy did my predictions from the previous episode humble me!Tune in to hear what I got wrong and why -- and what surprised this year more than previous years. Also discussed -- Letterboxd reviews for Netflix's short, political series ZERO DAY, starring Robert De Niro, and Osgood Perkins' latest horror film currently in cinemas THE MONKEY.I also bid -- perhaps for good -- farewell after more than 40 years of love to the James Bond franchise as it's finally been wrested from the hands of the Broccoli family with  Amazon's latest coup.What a shame. Now, the James Bond franchise will no longer go forward the way Ian Fleming, Harry Saltzman, Albert R. Broccoli and the Broccoli children Michael G. Wilson and Barbara never intended -- with decisions to be made via committee as the IP of James Bond becomes commodified. It will never be the same. Thank you for listening!

Broccoli, conducted in Mr. Broccoli's office in MGM's Thalberg Building in the summer of 1977. They discuss the origins of the James Bond movie series, the dealmaking, the casting, the obstacles and challenges, and Mr. Broccoli discusses his early day, from farming broccoli on Long Island to arriving in Hollywood.     

fWotD Episode 2787: Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 21 December 2024 is Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang.Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang: The Magical Car is a children's story written by Ian Fleming and illustrated by John Burningham. It was initially published in three volumes, the first of which was released on 22 October 1964 by Jonathan Cape, before being published as one book. The story concerns the exploits of Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang—a car with hidden powers and abilities—and its owners, the Pott family.Fleming, better known as the creator of James Bond, took his inspiration for the subject from a series of aero-engined racing cars called "Chitty Bang Bang", built by Louis Zborowski in the early 1920s. Fleming wrote the book while convalescing after having had a major heart attack; he had created the story as a bedtime story for his son, Caspar. Although Fleming wanted The Daily Mail cartoonist Trog—the pseudonym of Wally Fawkes—as the book's illustrator, the newspaper did not allow him to work on the project, so Burningham was commissioned. Fleming did not live to see Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang published; he died of a heart attack on 11 August 1964 and the book was published two months later.Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang was serialised in the Daily Express and adapted as a comic strip. The book was loosely adapted as a 1968 film of the same name with a screenplay by Roald Dahl and Ken Hughes; a subsequent novelisation was also published. The film was produced by Albert R. Broccoli, the co-producer of the James Bond film series. The story was also adapted as a stage musical under the same name. In April 2011 a BBC Radio 4 Extra adaptation was broadcast with Imogen Stubbs as the voice of Chitty. Three sequels to Fleming's book have been published, all written by Frank Cottrell-Boyce.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:51 UTC on Saturday, 21 December 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Amy.

Barbara Broccoli may be more like Harry Saltzman than Albert R. Broccoli.

Cʹest un matricule : 007 et un nom qui claque comme un coup de feu : Bond, James Bond. Un personnage que vous connaissez depuis de plus de 60 ans au cinéma. Il y arbore son smoking, son cocktail préféré et des conquêtes féminines toutes plus belles les unes que les autres. En parallèle, il tue des méchants et sauve le monde. James Bond passe de la plume dʹIan Fleming, il a été créé en 1953, au cinéma dès 1962 sous lʹimpulsion des producteurs Albert R. Broccoli et Harry Saltzman. Si Casino Royal est la première adaptation connue de ses aventures, cʹest James Bond contre Dr No qui lance la franchise de 007, lʹespion le plus connu du grand écran. Après le succès de James Bond contre Dr No, on remet la machine en route. En 1963, dans Bons Baisers de Russie (From Russia with Love), voilà James Bond se baladant entre Istanbul et Venise, à bord de lʹOrient Express, aux prises avec des espions, des tueurs, des gitanes, Le Spectre et Tatiana Romanova. Cʹest Terence Young qui est à nouveau aux commandes de ce 2e long métrage autour du personnage incarné par Sean Connery, absolument parfait dans ce rôle. Le film est un véritable succès en salle à sortie. Tout le monde sʹarrache les produits dérivés de ce qui va devenir une saga cinématographique. On parle déjà de la suite, ce sera Goldfinger. La légende de James Bond se met en place et sera inarrêtable. Aujourdʹhui dans Travelling, nous allons vous parler de Bons Baisers de Russie. Pour les bondiens, cʹest peut-être le meilleur épisode de la saga. Vous vous ferez votre opinion. Nous nʹavons pas les engins sophistiqués de Q pour vous raconter cette histoire mais un lecteur de déchiffrement russe, le Lektor, que le MI6 veut obtenir à tout prix. Voilà James Bond chargé de le récupérer au prix de bien des périls.

It is the seventeenth film in the James Bond series to be produced by Eon Productions and the first to star Pierce Brosnan as 007. Luke and Jae debrief on this 1995 espionage caper which is the first in the Bond series to not utilise any story elements from the works of novelist Ian Fleming, and was the final film project with the involvement of producer Albert R. Broccoli. When a powerful satellite system falls into the hands of Alec Trevelyan, AKA Agent 006 (Sean Bean), a former ally-turned-enemy, only James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) can save the world from an awesome space weapon that could destroy the earth! As Bond squares off against his former compatriot, he also battles Trevelyan's stunning ally, Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen), an assassin who uses pleasure as her ultimate weapon.

On Episode 87 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Skye is joined by returning guest host, professional film poster artist Tony Stella, to tackle a subject and a franchise that, surprisingly, hasn't been discussed in-depth on Film ‘89 yet, that of British super-spy James Bond. Skye and Tony celebrate the 60th anniversary of the first of the official Eon Productions 007 films with Dr. No from 1962. Based on the novel of the same name by Ian Fleming, which was his sixth in the series, published in 1958, the film was produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, it was directed by Terence Young and starred the late, great Sean Connery as James Bond. The James Bond franchise has become our most requested topic to cover on Film ‘89 and we invite you to join us as we take this long overdue dive into the world of the beloved super-spy for an in-depth and passionate celebration of cinema's longest running film franchise. 

Book: Green Thoughts By John Collier Film: Little Shop Of Horrors (1960) Little Shop of Horrors  (1986)   This short story written by John Collier was the basis of the Roger Corman cult classic Little Shop of Horrors which would later become a Broadway musical and a hit film of the same name.  John Collier is an award winning writer who has written short stories, novels and some of the great screenplays of our time to include The African Queen and  I Am A Camera.  Many of his short stories would be used for episodes of the Twilight Zone, Outer Limits and Alfred Hitchcock Presents and turned into hit Hollywood film.      1960 Original film was directed by Roger Corman who was dared to shoot a film over two days.  Quickly putting a script together with an idea based on John Collier's short story which he read and loved and adding elements from his other two favourite authors Arthur C Clark and HG Wells.  Corman took inspiration from the orchid bulb which grows quite large but when splits and buds has a tongue like pistil which would enable the plant to speak.  Later they gave it a Venus fly trap look but leaves of the orchid and inner colourings of the orchid.   Directed by Frank Oz and based on the hit off Broadway musical of the same name.  Little Shop of Horrors was filmed on the Albert R. Broccoli 007 Stage at the Pinewood Studios in England, where a "downtown" set, complete with overhead train track, was constructed. Produced on a budget of $25 million, in contrast to the original 1960 film, which, according to Corman, only cost $30,000, it was well received by critics and audiences alike, eventually developing a cult following. The film's original 23-minute finale, based on the musical's ending, was rewritten and reshot after test audiences did not react positively to it.] For years only available as black-and-white workprint footage, the original ending was fully restored in 2012 by Warner Home Video.

En este episodio como invitado especial me acompaña desde España, Gonzalo González de Archivo 007 para tener una conversacion sobre el duo de productores que tuvieron como meta en común llevar a James Bond a la gran pantalla. Los responsable del exito rotundo de la franquicia desde que iniciaron con "Dr. No" en 1962, son los responsable que hoy sea la franquicia más rentable y la más longeva de la historia del cine. Harry Saltzman y Albert Broccoli, los padres del James Bond cinematográfico.

Albert R. Broccoli, known to all as Cubby, is perhaps the man - beyond Ian Fleming - most responsible for the cultural phenomenon that is James Bond. Initially as co-producer with Harry Saltzman, then later as sole producer, Cubby oversaw the films as they developed from their relatively low-budget origins to large-budget, high-grossing extravaganzas, and Broccoli's heirs continue to produce new Bond films to this day. The team take a look back at the man's life and legacy, specifically his input into the world of 007 and the British film industry.

Nuestro nombre es 9, Fila9. Y es que este año 2020, si no hay nuevos e indeseables imprevistos víricos, está previsto que se estrene la película número 25 de la saga oficial del agente secreto más célebre de la historia del cine. Hablamos por supuesto de Bond, James Bond. Además, se da la circunstancia de que dicha película, cuyo título es "Sin Tiempo Para Morir", debiera representar el fin de ciclo de Daniel Craig como agente 007. En consecuencia, desde Fila9, creemos que es un momento de lo más oportuno para empezar a compartir con todos vosotros una serie de especiales dedicados a nuestro agente británico favorito. En esta primera parte abordaremos un detenido repaso por las siete primeras películas de la saga oficial de Harry Saltzman y Albert R. Broccoli, protagonizadas en su totalidad por el gran e icónico Sean Connery, salvo la excepción de la entrega en la que George Lazemby interpreta por única vez a Bond. "007 Contra el Dr. No", "Desde Rusia con Amor", "Goldfinger"...¡No os lo podéis perder! Y como en Fila9 nos gusta ser todo lo exhaustivos posible, también dedicaremos una sección a los dos títulos "apócrifos" fuera de la franquicia oficial, la "Casino Royale" del año 1967 y "Nunca Digas Nunca Jamás". Todo un recorrido por la filmografía basada en este apasionante personaje que creara Ian Fleming hace ya casi 70 años, que empieza con esta primera parte que ahora con mucha ilusión os ofrecemos para estos meses veraniegos. Anécdotas, opiniones, humor, análisis...nada hemos querido que falte en estos especiales sobre un personaje como el Agente 007, el cual nos encanta a varios de los miembros del equipo de este vuestro programa de cine y series. Así que poneos un Dry Martini, mezclado, no agitado (o al revés si sois más de versión original) para disfrutar tranquilamente con nosotros de esta primera entrega bondiana filanovera...Será el inicio de un fantástico viaje por lugares exóticos, bellas mujeres, villanos extravagantes y aventuras y acción a raudales, ¡arrancamos el Aston Martin!

He was knighted by Prince Charles, standing in for the queen, in 2000. Mr. Moss’s sportsmanship was perhaps most evident in 1958, when he could have won the world championship after taking the Portuguese Grand Prix in Porto in his British-made Vanwall racecar. His archrival, Mike Hawthorn, finished second, giving him a key six points, which would have clinched the world title. But Hawthorn, a fellow Englishman, was threatened with disqualification for pushing his stalled Ferrari back onto the track after a spin. His disqualification would have put Mr. Moss in the driver’s seat for the world title. But Mr. Moss told race officials that Hawthorn had pushed his Ferrari only on an off-the-track area and should not be disqualified. His intervention swayed the officials, who awarded Hawthorn second place, eventually enabling him to win the F1 world championship by a single point over Mr. Moss. He passed away from a long illness at the age of 90 in Mayfair, London.12 April 2020 – Tim Brooke Taylor, best known for his work on The Goodies and I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue passes away - https://www.etonline.com/tim-brooke-taylor-the-goodies-star-dies-at-79-of-coronavirus-complications-144654Timothy Julian Brooke-Taylor, English comedian and actor.

He passed away from complications from COVID-19 at the age of 79 in Seattle,Washington.14 April 2020 – Pip Baker, one half of the Dr Who writing duo known as Pip and Jane Baker passes away - http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2020/04/pip-baker-died-2020.htmlPip Baker, along with his wife and writing partner Jane, was one of the best-known writers from the mid 80's era of Doctor Who, writing eleven episodes for the series. Together they created the Rani, a female Time Lord scientist who was brought to life so vividly by the late Kate O'Mara, as well a creating the companion Mel. The Bakers scripted or contributed to four serials for the programme in the 1980s: The Mark of the Rani, The Trial of a Time Lord, Parts 9–12 and 14 (also known as Terror of the Vervoids and The Ultimate Foe); and Time and the Rani. They have also written novelisations of these stories, as well as a Make Your Own Adventure With Doctor Who (Find Your Fate With Doctor Who in the United States) gamebook titled Race Against Time. Pip and Jane's audio story The Rani Reaps the Whirlwind featured the return of the Rani and was released in 2000. He passed away from complication from a fall at the age of 91 in the United Kingdom.Remembrances5 April 2020 – Honor Blackman - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor_BlackmanEnglish actress, widely known for the roles of Cathy Gale in The Avengers, Bond girlPussy Galore in Goldfinger, Julia Daggett in Shalako and Hera in Jason and the Argonauts. She is also known for her role as Laura West in the ITV sitcom The Upper Hand. At 38, she was one of the oldest actresses to play a Bond girl, and was five years older than the star Sean Connery. Albert R. Broccoli said Blackman was cast opposite Sean Connery in the James Bond films based on her success in the British television series The Avengers. He knew that most American audiences would not have seen the programme. Broccoli said, "The Brits would love her because they knew her as Mrs. Gale, the Yanks would like her because she was so good, it was a perfect combination." She died from natural causes at the age of 94 in Lewes, Sussex.13 April 1938 – Grey Owl - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_OwlArchibald Stansfeld Belaney, commonly known as Grey Owl, was a British-born conservationist, fur trapper, and writer who pretended to be a First Nations person. While he achieved fame as a conservationist during his life, after his death the revelation that he was not Indigenous, along with other autobiographical fabrications, negatively affected his reputation. Belaney rose to prominence as a notable author and lecturer, primarily on environmental issues. In working with the National Parks Branch, Grey Owl became the subject of many films, and was established as the "'caretaker of park animals' at Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba" in 1931. Together with his numerous articles, books, films and lectures, his views on conservation reached audiences beyond the borders of Canada. His conservation views largely focused on humans' negative impact on nature through their commodification of nature's resources for profits, and a need for humans to develop a respect for the natural world. Recognition of Belaney has included biographies, a historic plaque at his birthplace, and a 1999 biopic about his life by the director Richard Attenborough. He died from pneumonia at the age of 49 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.13 April 1941 – Annie Jump Cannon - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_Jump_CannonAmerican astronomer whose cataloging work was instrumental in the development of contemporary stellar classification. With Edward C. Pickering, she is credited with the creation of the Harvard Classification Scheme, which was the first serious attempt to organize and classify stars based on their temperatures and spectral types. She was nearly deaf throughout her career. She was a suffragist and a member of the National Women's Party. Cannon manually classified more stars in a lifetime than anyone else, with a total of around 350,000 stars. She discovered 300 variable stars, five novas, and one spectroscopic binary, creating a bibliography that included about 200,000 references. She discovered her first star in 1898, though she was not able to confirm it until 1905. When she first started cataloging the stars, she was able to classify 1,000 stars in three years, but by 1913, she was able to work on 200 stars an hour. Cannon could classify three stars a minute just by looking at their spectral patterns and, if using a magnifying glass, could classify stars down to the ninth magnitude, around 16 times fainter than the human eye can see. Her work was also highly accurate. In 1925 she became the first woman to receive an honorary doctorate of science from Oxford University. In 1935, she created the Annie J. Cannon Prize for "the woman of any country, whose contributions to the science of astronomy are the most distinguished." She died from congestive heart failure at the age of 77 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.13 April 1944 - Cécile Chaminade - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9cile_ChaminadeFrench composer and pianist. In 1913, she was awarded the Légion d'Honneur, a first for a female composer. Ambroise Thomas said, "This is not a woman who composes, but a composer who is a woman." In 1908 she visited the United States, where she was accorded a hearty welcome. Her compositions were tremendous favorites with the American public, and such pieces as the Scarf Dance or the Ballet No. 1 were to be found in the music libraries of many lovers of piano music of the time. She composed a Konzertstück for piano and orchestra, the ballet music to Callirhoé and other orchestral works. Her songs, such as The Silver Ring and Ritournelle, were also great favorites. In London in November 1901, she made gramophone recordings of seven of her compositions for the Gramophone and Typewriter Company; these are among the most sought-after piano recordings by collectors, though they have been reissued on compact disk. Chaminade was relegated to obscurity for the second half of the 20th century, her piano pieces and songs mostly forgotten, with the Flute Concertino in D major, Op. 107, composed for the 1902 Paris Conservatoire Concours, her most popular piece today. Chaminade's music has been described as tuneful, highly accessible and mildly chromatic, and it may be regarded as bearing the typical characteristics of late-Romantic French music. She died at the age of 86 in Monte Carlo.Famous Birthdays13 April 1570 – Guy Fawkes - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_FawkesAlso known as Guido Fawkes while fighting for the Spanish, was a member of a group of provincial English Catholics who planned the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Fawkes converted to Catholicism and left for mainland Europe, where he fought for Catholic Spain in the Eighty Years' War against Protestant Dutch reformers in the Low Countries. He travelled to Spain to seek support for a Catholic rebellion in England without success. He later met Thomas Wintour, with whom he returned to England. Wintour introduced him to Robert Catesby, who planned to assassinate King James I and restore a Catholic monarch to the throne. The plotters leased an undercroft beneath the House of Lords; Fawkes was placed in charge of the gunpowder which they stockpiled there. The authorities were prompted by an anonymous letter to search Westminster Palace during the early hours of 5 November, and they found Fawkes guarding the explosives. He was questioned and tortured over the next few days and confessed to wanting to blow up the House of Lords. He became synonymous with the Gunpowder Plot, the failure of which has been commemorated in the UK as Guy Fawkes Night since 5 November 1605, when his effigy is traditionally burned on a bonfire, commonly accompanied by fireworks. He was born in Stonegate, York.13 April 1892 - Robert Watson-Watt - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Watson-WattSir Robert Alexander Watson-Watt, Scottish pioneer of radio direction finding and radar technology. Watt began his career in radio physics with a job at the Met Office, where he began looking for accurate ways to track thunderstorms using the radio signals given off by lightning. This led to the 1920s development of a system later known as huff-duff. Huff-duff allowed operators to determine the location of an enemy radio in seconds and it became a major part of the network of systems that helped defeat the U-boat threat. It is estimated that huff-duff was used in about a quarter of all attacks on U-boats. In 1935 Watt was asked to comment on reports of a German death ray based on radio. Watt and his assistant Arnold Frederic Wilkins quickly determined it was not possible, but Wilkins suggested using radio signals to locate aircraft at long distances. This led to a February 1935 demonstration where signals from a BBC short-wave transmitter were bounced off a Handley Page Heyford aircraft. Watt led the development of a practical version of this device, which entered service in 1938 under the code name Chain Home. Watson-Watt justified his choice of a non-optimal frequency for his radar, with his often-quoted “cult of the imperfect,” which he stated as “Give them the third-best to go on with; the second-best comes too late, [and] the best never comes.” He was born in Brechin,Angus.13 April 1899 - Alfred Mosher Butts - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Mosher_ButtsAmerican architect, famous for inventing the board gameScrabble in 1938. In the early 1930s after working as an architect but now unemployed, Butts set out to design a board game. He studied existing games and found that games fell into three categories: number games such as dice and bingo; move games such as chess and checkers; and word games such as anagrams. Butts decided to create a game that utilized both chance and skill by combining elements of anagrams and crossword puzzles, a popular pastime of the 1920s. Players would draw seven lettered tiles from a pool and then attempt to form words from their seven letters. A key to the game was Butts' analysis of the English language. Butts studied the front page of The New York Times to calculate how frequently each letter of the alphabet was used. He then used each letter's frequency to determine how many of each letter he would include in the game. He included only four "S" tiles so that the ability to make words plural would not make the game too easy. Butts initially called the game "Lexiko", but later changed the name to "Criss Cross Words", after considering "It", and began to look for a buyer. The game makers he originally contacted rejected the idea, but Butts was tenacious. Eventually, he sold the rights to entrepreneur and game-lover James Brunot, who made a few minor adjustments to the design and renamed the game "Scrabble." To memorialize Butts's importance to the invention of the game, there is a street sign at 35th Avenue and 81st Street in Jackson Heights that is stylized using letters, with their values in Scrabble as a subscript. He was born in Poughkeepsie, New York.Events of Interest13 April 1953 – Project MKUltra begins - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKUltraProject MKUltra (or MK-Ultra), also called the CIA mind control program, is the code name given to a program of experiments on human subjects that were designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, some of which were illegal. Experiments on humans were intended to identify and develop drugs and procedures to be used in interrogations in order to weaken the individual and force confessions through mind control. The project's intentionally obscure CIA cryptonym is made up of the digraph MK, meaning that the project was sponsored by the agency's Technical Services Staff, followed by the word Ultra which had previously been used to designate the most secret classification of World War II intelligence. Other related cryptonyms include Project MKNAOMI and Project MKDELTA. The project was organized through the Office of Scientific Intelligence of the CIA and coordinated with the United States Army Biological Warfare Laboratories. Code names for drug-related experiments were Project Bluebird and Project Artichoke. The program engaged in many illegal activities, including the use of U.S. and Canadian citizens as its unwitting test subjects, which led to controversy regarding its legitimacy. MKUltra used numerous methods to manipulate its subjects' mental states and brain functions. Techniques included the covert administration of high doses ofpsychoactive drugs (especially LSD) and other chemicals, electroshocks, hypnosis,sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as other forms of torture. In December 2018, declassified documents included a letter to an unidentified doctor discussing work on six dogs made to run, turn and stop via remote control and brain implants.13 April 1970 - Apollo 13 oxygen tank explodes - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/apollo-13-oxygen-tank-explodesOn April 13, 1970, disaster strikes 200,000 miles from Earth when oxygen tank No. 2 blows up on Apollo 13, the third manned lunar landing mission. Astronauts James A. Lovell, John L. Swigert, and Fred W. Haise had left Earth two days before for the Fra Mauro highlands of the moon but were forced to turn their attention to simply making it home alive. Mission commander Lovell reported to mission control on Earth: “Houston, we’ve had a problem here,” and it was discovered that the normal supply of oxygen, electricity, light, and water had been disrupted. The landing mission was aborted, and the astronauts and controllers on Earth scrambled to come up with emergency procedures. The crippled spacecraft continued to the moon, circled it, and began a long, cold journey back to Earth. The astronauts and mission control were faced with enormous logistical problems in stabilizing the spacecraft and its air supply and providing enough energy to the damaged fuel cells to allow successful reentry into Earth’s atmosphere. Navigation was another problem, and Apollo 13‘s course was repeatedly corrected with dramatic and untested maneuvers. On April 17, with the world anxiously watching, tragedy turned to triumph as the Apollo 13 astronauts touched down safely in the Pacific Ocean.13 April 2017 - The US drops the largest ever non-nuclear weapon on Nangarhar Province,Afghanistan.- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBU-43/B_MOAB- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Nangarhar_airstrikeThe GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (commonly known as "Mother of All Bombs") is a large-yield bomb, developed for the United States military by Albert L. Weimorts, Jr. of the Air Force Research Laboratory. At the time of development, it was said to be the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in the American arsenal. The basic principle resembles that of the BLU-82 Daisy Cutter, which was used to clear heavily wooded areas in the Vietnam War. Pentagon officials suggested MOAB might be used as an anti-personnel weapon, as part of the "shock and awe" strategy integral to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The MOAB is not a penetrator weapon and is primarily intended for soft to medium surface targets covering extended areas and targets in a contained environment such as a deep canyon or within a cave system. The MOAB was first dropped in combat in the 13 April 2017 airstrike against an Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – Khorasan Province (ISIS) tunnel complex in Achin District, Afghanistan. Casualty figures were initially reported as 36 but increased over the following days as reconnaissance units investigated the site. On 18 April 2017, one senior Afghan security official said the bomb killed 96 Islamic State militants, among them 13 major commanders. Stars and Stripes reported that General Dawlat Waziri, spokesman for Afghanistan's Defense Ministry said that since the strike, the offensive operation in the area was resumed. An Afghan officer also said that trees 100 metres from the impact point had remained standing.Follow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094RSS - http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rssInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/General EnquiriesEmail - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comRate & Review us on Podchaser - https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/nerds-amalgamated-623195

Nobody does it better... or so the saying goes. The first of the Bond films produced by Albert R. Broccoli, without long time producing partner Harry Saltzman, had a lot riding on it. It had been three years since the last film (considered by many to be a financial flop) and this was the everything or nothing shot Cubby had to make. History tells us that this film is a triumph in every respect; that this is the biggest and best Bond film. Critically and commercially successful at the time, how does this giant of the franchise hold up more than forty years on?
