Podcasts about Hugo Drax

James Bond goes up against Hugo Drax, a billionaire with a private space rocket company who's secretly a eugenicist, plotting to kill everyone on earth and replace them with his idea of a master race who lives in space. I don't know why this sounds so familiar. Also, Jaws the Henchman shows up and goes through so many near-deaths, you'd think he was fighting Bugs Bunny. Starring Roger Moore, Michael Lonsdale, Richard Kiel, Lois Chiles, and Corrine Clery. Written by Christopher Wood from Ian Fleming's novel. Directed by Lewish Gilbert.

Roger Moore is back as Jimmy Bond in Moonraker, only this time he's older! Featuring a head with more lines on it than Pablo Escobar's coffee table, Moore takes our lovable super spy from the countryside of France to the edge of space in his fight against full-sized Peter Dinklage impersonator, Hugo Drax. But does this ambitious space adventure have a licence to thrill? Listen on to find out!

Murder by Decree is a 1979 mystery thriller directed by Bob Clark (Director of ‘Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things' and 'Dead of Night' (not the brilliant black and white British film from 1945 - featured in episode 13, but the 1974 American film ), he also directed ‘Black Christmas', ‘Porkys' and ‘Porkys 2' Murder by Decree was written by playwright John Hopkins, who scripted the Bond film Thunderball, and the Alec Guinness TV version of Smileys People. Hopkins referenced Conan Doyle's work, particularly Holmes' deduction and science skills but downplayed other aspects of the characters, such as Holmes' drug use, in favour of making them more likeable and human.Peter O'Toole was originally cast as Sherlock Holmes, and Sir Laurence Olivier was cast as Dr. Watson. But the two actors had not worked well together in the past, and were unable to overcome their differences for this movie. Rather, Holmes is played by Christopher (Captain Georg von Trapp) Plummer and Dr. Watson is played by James Mason.Plummer, described by IMDB as“ perhaps Canada's greatest thespian”, turned down the role of Gandalf in Sir Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and admits to regretting that decision. Question for James and Jon? Christopher Plummer had two roles in common with Peter Cushing, can you name them?James Mason reportedly, he once saved the life of Max Bygraves' son at a party at Judy Garland's house. The boy fell into the pool and Max did not notice. James Mason did and, fully clothed, he jumped into the water and pulled him out. He was scheduled to play James Bond in a 1958 television adaptation of "From Russia with Love", which was ultimately never produced. Later, despite being in his 50s, Mason was a contender to play Bond in Dr. No before Sean Connery was cast. He later turned down the role of Hugo Drax in the James Bond film Moonraker, which went to Michael Lonsdale.In his autobiography, "In Spite of Myself", Plummer noted that Mason was the best Watson he had seen, and that his death halted a proposed furthering of their on-screen partnership.The film also features:David Hemmings (Blow Up, Deep Red, Brabarella, Gladiator, Magnum Pi and Airwolf) as Inspector Foxborough, Anthony Quayle (Lawrence of Arbia, The Guns of Navarone) as Sir Charles Warren, Frank Finlay (Lifeforce, The Three Musketeers) as Inspector Lestrade, Geneviève Bujold as Annie Crook, Susan Clark as Mary Kelly, John Gielgud as Prime Minister Lord Salisbury, Donald Sutherland as Robert Lees and the Mighty June Brown as Anne ChapmanThe film's premise of the plot behind the murders is influenced by the book Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution, by Stephen Knight, who presumed that the killings were part of a Masonic plot. The original script contained the names of the historical suspects, Sir William Gull and John Netley. In the actual film, they are represented by fictional analogues: Thomas Spivy (Gull) and William Slade (Netley). This theory on the perpetrators of the killings is featured in a number of other Jack the Ripper-themed fictions, including the graphic novel ‘From Hell'.The replica nineteenth century dockland set took two months and fifty men to construct at Shepperton Studio's largest soundstage. The set also included a replica muddy Thames River, Alien was shooting concurrently in the same studios.Support the show by buying from our affiliate links…https://tinyurl.com/Murder-Decree-Blu-rayhttps://tinyurl.com/Murder-Decree-DVDhttps://tinyurl.com/From-Hell-Bookhttps://tinyurl.com/From-Hell-Companion-bookhttps://tinyurl.com/The-Five-Book Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

Where all other Bond end... this one begins! With The Spy Who Loved Me being a big hit, Lewis Gilbert was brought back for another big budget sequel. With the recent success of Star Wars, it was time to send 007 into space. Moonraker sees Bond investigate Hugo Drax, which results in him travelling to California, Venice, Rio, the Amazon before lifting off into space. It's one of the most divisive films in the franchise but that didn't stop Joe ranking it highly before the rewatch. Will Joe be proven right or is the force not so strong with this one?

Hello dear listeners! What value do novelizations have? How good can they be given that they are, after all, but the book equivalent of their filmic counterpart? Oh, heady stuff on this week's episode of the show, as Matt and Edgar are back with a return to the world of Christopher Wood's James Bond. As some listeners may recall last summer we sat down to read and discuss Wood's Spy Who Loved Me novelization and it generated some rather interesting remarks and commentary. Well, Wood wasn't done with the universe of Bond just yet, as he was brought back 2 years later to pen the novelization of James Bond – A Star Wars Sto- uh, Moonraker. Was this book as engaging and unique as its predecessor? The boys make their call by getting through all sorts of high brow topics like: Draxites, the return of squeaky and creaky gadgets, the soft reboot of Hugo Drax, squishy floating brain matter making for terrific reading material for 9-year olds, JBR to the rescue, and women who still shake hours after having amazing sex with James Bond. So sit back, relax, pick up your dusty copy of James Bond and Moonraker that's practically falling apart and join us for a spacewalk.

Bond in spaaaaaaaace! Agent 007 skal ud i det rummet i denne 11. film. Der er åbenbart babes derude, han ikke har haft sex med endnu. Det hele starter, da en rumfærge forsvinder på mystisk vis, hvilken får Bond til at kigger nærmere på rigmanden Hugo Drax. Undervejs bliver han konfronteret en med af Draxs håndlangere, en velkendt, meget høj fyr! http://www.ikassenshow.dk/2020/12/i-kassen-702-moonraker-1979.html

This novel and its film adaptation couldn't be more dissimilar. The latter being decidedly camp and full of Star Wars envy; the former hailed as one of the defining pieces in the Bond literary canon. But what say three young lads from down under? How does Fleming's third adventure stack up against its predecessors? Is it still, like it's villain, a 'nail-biter' or will it fail to launch?

Dr. Hugo Drax is the president of there American Disc Jockey Association. The ADJA has been a leader in getting its members good quality and affordable liability insurance. Drax speaks about why insurance is needed, what can happen without it and the "additional insured" requirement that many venues are now asking for.

In this eleventh installment of Spiraken Review Podcast's "Bond Marathon/Bond-o-Thon", Xan & Gretta review a space themed Spy film that has a very familiar plot to an earlier Bond Film. Prepare to have fun as they review the film loosely based on Ian Fleming's 1954 novel, "Moonraker" directed by Lewis Gilbert and starring Blanche Ravalec, Irka Bochenko, Walter Gotell, Toshiro Suga, Lois Maxwell, Emily Bolton, Geoffrey Keen, Desmond Llewelyn, Bernard Lee, Corinne Clery, Richard Kiel, Michael Lonsdale, Lois Chiles and Roger Moore as Commander James Bond, Agent 007. ----more---- As our hosts discuss the lackluster villain, they also debate on the bad sound effects, the turn of Jaws from heel to hero, and give their opinions on this film.  Remember to follow us @spiraken on Twitter, @spiraken on Instagram, and Check out our panels at ANIME BOSTON 2020.
