Son nom est Bond  James Bond, mais James a t il vraiment existé?   Ian Fleming a inventé ce personnage pendant ses vacances dans sa propriété de Goldeneye située en Jamaïque. Le nom de james bond était en fait le nom de l'un des  amis de Ian Fleming qui était ornithologue. D'ailleurs, dans ses aventures, si quelqu'un tue un oiseau, Bond le tue. On note le petit clin d'œil dans « Meurs un autre jour », où James se fait passer pour un ornithologue. Mais ce n'est pas de cet ornithologue qu'il s'est inspiré pour les traits de caractère de son personnage! Ian Fleming s'est plutôt inspiré de Dušan Popov, un agent double voire même triple. Dušan Popov travaillait donc pour les Britanniques, mais aussi pour les Allemands et les Serbes. Ian Fleming l'avait rencontré dans un hôtel, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et popov l'avait impressionné car il l'avu vu miser 38 000 dollars à un jeu de carte, le baccara et il avait remporté ce coup!    Sauf qu'il s'agissait en fait d'un coup de bluff.  Vous avouerez qu'il faut etre sacrément joueur!     Ian Fleming se serait aussi inspiré d'autres personnes de son entourage comme l'officier Patrick Dalzel-Job qu'il avait côtoyé lors de certaines missions et qui l'avait marqué puisqu'un jour Patrick Dalzel job avait fait évacuer contre les ordres de son commandement la population civile du port de Narvik. C'était quelques jours avant le bombardement de Narvik par l'armée allemande en 1940.    Et cette décision qui avait permis de sauver toute une population, avait été récompensé par le roi de Norvège qui avait féliciter Ptarick Dalzel Job en lui remettant la croix de chevalier de l'Ordre de Saint-Olaf. Ça lui avait d'ailleurs permis d'échapper à la cour martiale puisqu'il allait etre jugé pour avoir désobéi!  Si vouis vous intéressez à la vie de ce personnage, il y a un livre très intéressant qui est paru intitulé Patrick Dalzel-Job, Le vrai James Bond, aux Editions Heimdal, 1997.   Dans les autres inspirations de James Bond il y a aussi le frère de Ian Fleming, Robert Peter Fleming, qui était un aventurier, chasseur et écrivain. Par exemple en 1932, il est parti sur les traces du colonel Fawcett dans la jungle brésilienne. Ce militaire, cartographe, archéologue et explorateur britannique a disparu dans la jungle brésilienne en tentant de trouver une cité perdue et obert Peter Fleming a souhaité aller le trouver! Il a d'ailleurs écrit son premier livre sur ses recherches, Un aventurier au Brésil. En février 1935, le frère de Ian Flemming a entamé une traversée de sept mois de la Chine du nord depuis Pékin jusqu'au Cachemire à travers les déserts d'Asie centrale. A l'époque il était aussi agent du MI6.   En 1938 il a intégré le service de renseignement militaire et en 1940, il est chargé de créer le premier centre d'entraînement d'unités de guérilla.  Après de nombreuses promotions et autres aventures, il est finalememnt mort d'une crise cardiaque en 1971 au cours d'une partie de chasse en Écosse.  Mais Ian Fleming a aussi admis s'être en partie inspiré de sa vie pour la vie de James Bond. Hébergé par Ausha.

Hoy os traigo el tercer tomo de la Saga de James Bond, escrita por Ian Flemming y publicada por Jonathan Cape en primera instancia, obra que posteriormente se materializó en la gran pantalla por Eon Productions en 1979 con la película del mismo nombre: Moonraker.

Happy Spring! What better way to kick off a new season of Old Soul than by covering one of the most beloved children's movies of all time? That's right, we're hopping aboard our fine, four-fendered friend to a magical world of zany inventions, storytelling, and Vulgarian oddities. Caractacus Potts (although we do get wild with variations of his name pronunciation lol) is a down-on-his-luck single father of two little ones who become enamored with a retired (and quite broken down) champion race car. With the help of candy heiress Truly Scrumptious, this family finds fun and adventure in hopping between reality and dreams.

Roald Dahl skrev Kalle och Chokladfabriken, hans goda vän Ian Flemming skrev James Bond, båda var underrättelseagenter under WW2 i Washington. Från och med 1942 blev både Dahl och Fleming involverade i en speciell grupp spioner designad av Sir William "Intrepid" Stevenson på order av Winston Churchill , för att förstöra den isolationistiska rörelsen i USA och forma de politiska relationerna mellan de två nationerna i USA. krig mot Nazityskland. Dahl var en nyckelspelare i en brittisk spionring i Washington, DC, där han självsäkert klev in i Vita husets salar i Franklin Delano Roosevelt-administrationen, spelade tennis med vicepresidenten, boxade med Ernest Hemingway och dejtade Clair Boothe Luce . En del av Dahls arbete utfördes med direkt godkännande av FDR... Skapandet av OSS - föregångaren till CIA - till exempel. Så i tiden... * Marabou är inte längre kunglig hovleverantör. Hovet säger till nyhetsbyrån TT att kungahuset bryter med chockladvarumärket med anledning av att de ägs av bolaget Mondelez. * Förra året svartlistades Mondelez av en ukrainsk myndighet på grund av sin verksamhet i Ryssland. * I Sverige har SJ och SAS samt flera matbutiker rensat Marabous produkter ur sortimentet efter svartlistningen. Namnet kommer från den stork som prydde det norska moderbolaget Freias förpackningar och användes som Marabous logotyp till slutet av 1960-talet. Den ersattes då av en logotyp designad av Sveriges arvfurste och hertig av Uppland Sigvard Bernadotte som fortfarande används. Det satt nog djupt inne kort sagt... De Fria är en folkrörelse som jobbar för demokrati genom en upplyst och medveten befolkning!

Today, we're donning our tuxedos and stepping into the high-stakes world of espionage with the 2006 James Bond reboot, Casino Royale.Casino Royale marks a significant shift in the Bond franchise, introducing Daniel Craig as a more rugged, emotionally complex 007. Gone are the over-the-top gadgets and eyebrow-raising one-liners of previous Bonds. Instead, Craig brings a raw, visceral intensity to the character, along with a vulnerability we hadn't quite seen before.The film, directed by Martin Campbell, reboots the series, taking us back to Bond's first mission as a 00 agent. It's not just about the action (though there's plenty of that), but also about how Bond evolves into the iconic character we know. The high-octane opening sequence, the breathtaking parkour chase, and, of course, the tense, high-stakes poker game at Casino Royale are masterfully executed.Eva Green's portrayal of Vesper Lynd adds depth and intrigue, offering a love interest who's far more than just a 'Bond girl'. She's intelligent, enigmatic, and plays a crucial role in shaping Bond's character. And let's not forget Mads Mikkelsen's chilling performance as the villain, Le Chiffre.Casino Royale isn't just about physical battles; it's a psychological game, exploring themes of trust, betrayal, and the personal cost of being a spy. The film redefined what a Bond movie could be and set a new standard for the franchise.So, Dads, let's discuss how Casino Royale changed the Bond universe, the gritty realism of Daniel Craig's Bond, and maybe share some stories about our own less-than-glamorous attempts at suave sophistication (we've all been there).Shake up your martinis, and get ready for a deep dive into "Casino Royale" on this episode of Bad Dads Film Review.

Für manche ist es bis heute der beste James-Bond-Film. Heute vor 60 Jahren feierte «Liebesgrüsse aus Moskau» Premiere. Es ist der zweite Film aus der Reihe und basiert auf dem gleichnamigen Roman von Ian Flemming.

Johnny Vedmore is one of the most feared journalists because he is willing to look in the shadows where the real power is tucked away. He often comes across unusual characters with ties to intelligence and tons of money. Such is the case of George Huntington Hartford II, a billionaire failure who inherited his “new” money and squandered it all away chasing underage girls. In the Unlimited Hangout Black Hand series, Johnny tells the story of a Harvard grad from one of the wealthiest families in the United States who found himself in a world of sex parties and partnerships with spies and movie producers such as Ian Flemming of James Bond fame, and how all of the money in the world couldn't buy this guy success.

Pour ce mois de mars chez Entourloupe dans l'azimut, on a décidé de jouer à domicile et d'aborder l'espion britannique si cher à nos cœurs, fondement même de la création de ce podcast. Mais attention, si on choisit d'aborder encore 007, c'est qu'on vous apporte une nouvelle couleur en la personne de notre invité, Louis Mathews, monteur de profession pour des émissions comme le Grand Frisson et Opération Frisson. Louis est comme nous, féru de James Bond, et son amour incontesté pour Roger Moore dépasse les frontières. Double sujet bondien aujourd'hui car au lieu des traditionnelles recommandations de début d'épisode, nous avons choisi d'aborder plutôt la ressortie récente de Goldeneye 007, adaptation vidéoludique la plus célèbre à ce jour de James Bond. Nous vous ferons part de notre ressenti ainsi que de notre vécu autour de ce jeu mythique de la Nintendo 64 qui a redéfini le genre à son époque. On en profitera également pour évoquer les autres jeux vidéos étiquetés James Bond, pour le meilleur comme pour le pire... Le plat principal de cet épisode sera ensuite consacré à une période de la saga qui mérite selon nous plus de lumière à savoir les deux films dans lequel Timothy Dalton a campé le rôle : Tuer n'est pas jouer et Permis de Tuer. N'ayant fait que deux films, Dalton n'a malheureusement pas autant marqué la saga que les autres acteurs mais sa prestation, peut-être la plus proche du personnage qu'a imaginé Ian Flemming, est pour nous une des plus plaisantes à regarder.  On vous décortique donc ces deux films géniaux ! Pour finir, le rédoutable Bacridleyscott est bien évidemment de la partie. Une bonne écoute à toutes et à tous !

We wind up talking about why the film doesn't work and about le Carré's ambiguous approach to spy fiction, in particular, how his perspective differs from other British chroniclers of Cold War espionage, like Ian Flemming and Graham Greene.In what ways does le Carré's approach represent an essentially (small-c) conservative disposition? And why is it so attractive to all of us?

Wir schreiben das Jahr 1959 - Hitchcock hat schon eine unglaubliche Karriere hinter sich, während James Bond noch drei Jahre auf sich warten lässt. Was James Bond damit zu tun hat? Nunja, wenn man sich “Der unsichtbare Dritte” bzw. North by Northwest anschaut, bekommt man das unbestimmte Gefühl, dass alle nachfolgenden Bond Filme von ihm abgeschrieben haben. Es ist ein Agenten-Thriller - mit einem Agenten wider willen. Roger Thornhill wird von Spionen für “George Kaplan” gehalten, der ganz oben auf ihrer “to kill” Liste steht. Also muss Thornhill sich etwas einfallen lassen, wie er am Leben bleiben und gleichzeitig beweisen kann, dass er nicht Kaplan ist. Dabei reist er mit einer sehr sexuell interessierten Dame durch Amerika, entgeht einigen Anschlägen und bekommt es mit echten Geheimagenten, Spionen und Gangstern - und mit sexuellen Eskapaden zu tun. Nachdem der Film rauskommt, erhält Hitchcock ein Telegramm eines gewissen Ian Flemming, ob er nicht seine Geschichten um einen Agenten mit der Nummer 007 verfilmen möchte. Plor, warum ist North by Northwest der erste James Bond und warum nicht? Und… was soll North by Northwest bitte schön für einen Himmelsrichtung sein?

Ein neuer Bond Darsteller wurde in Daniel Craig 2005 gefunden. Der aus GoldenEye bekannte Neuseeländers Martin Campbell kehrte auf den Regiestuhl zurück.

Bonds erste Liebe.Wie schlägt sich Daniel Craig? Gelingt es den Produzenten, eine authentische Liebesgeschichte zwischen Bond und Vesper zu erzählen? Wie bewerten wir den Film?

No entertainment intellectual property has stood longer, for better or for worse (depending on who you talk to), than Ian Flemming's British gentleman super spy hypenate sexy womanizing (maybe even misogynist) international man of action, Agent 007 James Bond. Spanning 25 films from when Dr. No was released in 1968, 007 has spawned parodies, uncanonical spin offs all the while influecing the Hollywood action genre... Or perhaps chasing after trends. Fans and critics have argued and romanticized in love and hate, for some time now, over it's questionable yet alluring cinematic quality. While no different, TBC_afp steps into Her Majesty's Sercret Service to pay homage, oftenly lampooning and maybe even lambast in this two parter podcast. So sit back and have a #martini #shakennotstirred on us.

The 25th Bond film is in cinemas now and in this episode of I've Been Thinking with Peter Frankopan he digs into the real life world of espionage, counter terrorism and the life of Bond creator Ian Flemming. First up Peter is in conversation with Sir David Omand. He was the first UK Security and Intelligence Coordinator, served on the Joint Intelligence Committee, Permanent Secretary of the Home Office, and before that Director of GCHQ. His recent book How Spies Think: Ten Lessons in Intelligence gives a real insight into information gathering. In part two we hear from Dr Robert Bartholomew about the mysteriousHavana Syndrome. Are Western embassies across the World being targeted by a new sonic weapon? He along with Dr Robert Baloh have written extensively on the subject. And to wrap this episode we speak to Andrew Lycett, author of an outstanding biography of Ian Flemming - the creator of the one and only 007.

Curley tells the story of Jamaican native and rum founder Chris Blackwell, who as a young man, worked as a production assistant on Dr. No in 1962, later purchased Ian Flemming's Goldeneye estate, which became Goldeneye Luxury Resort. It all came full circle as Blackwell Run was featured in the new "Bond 25" movie along with a partnership of a limited edition Blackwell Rum 007 bottle and expression available for sale at select retailers and on their website.

Sie gehören zu den erfolgreichsten Film-Reihen: Die James Bond-Filme, die auf Romane von Ian Flemming zurückgehen. Am 5. Oktober 1962 feierte der erste Streifen mit Agent 007 in London Premiere. Mit Sean Connery in der Hauptrolle und der Schweizerin Ursula Andress als erstem Bond-Girl.

Die aktuelle Folge des Podcast „Schröder trifft“ hat Philip Selkirk von dem mondänen Seebad Estoril bei Lissabon aus aufgenommen. Dort recherchiert er für sein jüngstes Filmprojekt das Leben des legendären Ian Flemming, „Vater“ von James Bond. Auch wenn er in England geboren wurde, mal in Paris, in Madrid, gerne auch in New York oder Palm Beach mit seiner kleinen Familie lebt, darf man ihn getrost auch einen Wiesbadener nennen. Der Sohn eines Schotten und einer Österreicherin ging dort zur Schule, arbeitete für Taunusfilm und machte sich in der alten Kurstadt mit einer eignen Filmproduktion selbstständig. Wie er die Bekanntschaft mit Silvester Stallone auf einer Fahrt in die damalige DDR machte und was ihn mit Siebenbürgen verbindet, das erfährt der Hörer alles im Podcast „Schröder trifft“.

Una semana más regresa la escritora Carmen Posadas para explorar la intrahistoria de la Historia. En esta ocasión, nos hablará de cómo surgieron los servicios secretos británicos y de la inspiración que utilizó Ian Flemming para la creación de sus personajes de espías. Uno de ellos, el jefe de James Bond, está inspirado en un personaje real llamado sir Mansfield George Smith Cummings, que fue el primer director de los Servicios Secretos de Reino Unido, tal y como los conocemos hoy. Un hombre ciertamente peculiar, igual que su vida, llena de anécdotas a caballo entre la realidad y la leyenda.

Salut tout le monde  Merci d'écouter ce podcast de la petite histoire produit par la fabirk audio!  N'hésitez pas à mettre des petites étoiles à ce podcast sur itunes ! À le commenter! Et à écouter tous les autres podcasts de la fabrik audio, avec notamment les aventuriers pour des récits d'expatriés autour du monde, le bouche à oreille avec les critiques gastronomiques de bonnes tables en provence  et cinémaradio pour le meilleur du cinéma … mais en audio!   -   Son nom est Bond  James Bond, mais James a t il vraiment existé?   Connu par son matricule 007 au cinéma et en livre, James Bond est un personnage de fiction qui a été créé en 1952 par l'écrivain. Ian Fleming.  Fait important : Ian Fleming était un espion britannique avant d'être un écivain.  Il semble d'ailleurs qu'il se soit inspiré pour le matricule 007 du sigle utilisé comme signature dans les documents du service de renseignement de la Naval Intelligence où il travaillait.     Ian Fleming a inventé ce personnage pendant ses vacances dans sa propriété de Goldeneye située en Jamaïque. Le nom de james bond était en fait le nom de l'un des  amis de Ian Fleming qui était ornithologue. D'ailleurs, dans ses aventures, si quelqu'un tue un oiseau, Bond le tue. On note le petit clin d'œil dans « Meurs un autre jour », où James se fait passer pour un ornithologue.    Mais ce n'est pas de cet ornithologue qu'il s'est inspiré pour les traits de caractère de son personnage! Ian Fleming s'est plutôt inspiré de Dušan Popov, un agent double voire même triple!!!  Dušan Popov travaillait donc pour les Britanniques, mais aussi pour les Allemands et les Serbes.    Ian Fleming l'avait rencontré dans un hôtel, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et popov l'avait impressionné car il l'avu vu miser 38 000 dollars à un jeu de carte, le baccara et il avait remporté ce coup!    Sauf qu'il s'agissait en fait d'un coup de bluff.  Vous avouerez qu'il faut etre sacrément joueur!     Ian Fleming se serait aussi inspiré d'autres personnes de son entourage comme l'officier Patrick Dalzel-Job qu'il avait côtoyé lors de certaines missions et qui l'avait marqué puisqu'un jour Patrick Dalzel job avait fait évacuer contre les ordres de son commandement la population civile du port de Narvik. C'était quelques jours avant le bombardement de Narvik par l'armée allemande en 1940.    Et cette décision qui avait permis de sauver toute une population, avait été récompensé par le roi de Norvège qui avait féliciter Ptarick Dalzel Job en lui remettant la croix de chevalier de l'Ordre de Saint-Olaf. Ça lui avait d'ailleurs permis d'échapper à la cour martiale puisqu'il allait etre jugé pour avoir désobéi!  Si vouis vous intéressez à la vie de ce personnage, il y a un livre très intéressant qui est paru intitulé Patrick Dalzel-Job, Le vrai James Bond, aux Editions Heimdal, 1997.   Dans les autres inspirations de James Bond il y a aussi le frère de Ian Fleming, Robert Peter Fleming, qui était un aventurier, chasseur et écrivain. Par exemple en 1932, il est parti sur les traces du colonel Fawcett dans la jungle brésilienne. Ce militaire, cartographe, archéologue et explorateur britannique a disparu dans la jungle brésilienne en tentant de trouver une cité perdue et obert Peter Fleming a souhaité aller le trouver! Il a d'ailleurs écrit son premier livre sur ses recherches, Un aventurier au Brésil. En février 1935, le frère de Ian Flemming a entamé une traversée de sept mois de la Chine du nord depuis Pékin jusqu'au Cachemire à travers les déserts d'Asie centrale. A l'époque il était aussi agent du MI6.   En 1938 il a intégré le service de renseignement militaire et en 1940, il est chargé de créer le premier centre d'entraînement d'unités de guérilla.  Après de nombreuses promotions et autres aventures, il est finalememnt mort d'une crise cardiaque en 1971 au cours d'une partie de chasse en Écosse.  Mais Ian Fleming a aussi admis s'être en partie inspiré de sa vie pour la vie de James Bond. D'ailleus Fleming a participé à l'élaboration des plans de la mission Goldeneye (qui visait à protéger l'accès à Gibraltar pendant la seconde guerre mondiale). C'est pourquoi il a donné ce nom à sa maison en Jamaïque. Et l'une des aventures de Bond de porter le même nom. Sur le plan personnel, Ian Fleming a été marqué par deux pertes importantes : celle de son père décédé à la guerre, et bond aussi a manqué d'un père. Et le premier grand amour de ian fleming, Muriel Wright, est décédée. Et bond voit aussi mourir son grand amour ds la nouvelle Casino Royale.  Et puis, l'agent 007 semble être la pesonne que Ian Fleming aurait aimé être. D'ailleurs beaucoup des traits de Fleming ressemblent à ceux de Bond : ils ont la même taille, même coupe de cheveux, même couleur des yeux, ils apprécient les mêmes repas (œufs brouillés, café), et ils possèdent la même attirance pour les boissons alcoolisées et les cigarettes. D'après son dossier médical, Fleming fumait environ soixante-dix cigarettes par jour et au moins un quart de bouteille de gin. Des excès qui lui ont coûté la vie puiqu'il est mort un infarctus en 1964, à l'âge de 56 ans.    Et puis ils aiment aussi les mêmes femmes, ont fréquenté les mêmes écoles, et ont suivi un parcours similaire dans la marine les deux étant montés au rang de capitaine de frégate.    Quant à Goldfinger, le grand méchant, c'était un voisin que Ian Fleming appréciait peu.    D'ailleurs ce voisin s'était évdiemment reconnu et vexé avait intenté une action en justice contre l'éditeur du livre paru en 1959. Du coup l'éditeur avait du payer des droits d'auteur au véritable mr goldfinger!     Si vous etes intéressé par Bond et son auteur je vous recommande la biographie intitulée Goldeneye Where Bond Was Born : Ian Fleming's Jamaica de Matthew Parker.

Up to this point, not just in our back and forth in time viewing but in the overall history of the James Bond franchise, things have been pretty hit and miss. But, at least in our viewing, there hasn't been an absolute out of the park home run. But then... Casino Royale. Man... Let's look at the run up to this one. 2002, Die Another Day... the Bond franchise looke like it was dead. I mean... it wasn't just a bad movie, it was a terrible movie. Had this been the first film of the series... it wouldn't have been because the entire thing would have been dead in the water (but more on that in a few weeks). So, when 2006 rolled around, the prospect of another Bond movie, though welcome, didn't exactly hold a lot of promise. I mean... it really couldn't be worse, but that didn't mean much. But it was going to be different. This was a total reboot. Bond in his first mission as 007. Daniel Craig, a guy who looked like he could beat your ass. Nobody knew what to expect.   Whatever they expected, the were not prepared for what they got.   Casino Royale is not only the best Bond film, it's one of the best spy films ever, full stop. Remove James Bond completely from this, make it another agent, an unknown and this is still one of the best times you could have watching a movie. So, join us as we discuss this amazing piece of work, and create a new TV show for Ian Flemming. We will return next week with... You Only Live Twice.  

Quantum of Solace. For starters, the title means nothing. It is taken from a Ian Flemming short story. However, that story has nothing to do with this movie, and it is possibly the least "Bond" story ever written. The entire thing takes place during a dinner party. There is no action, no violence, nothing. Literally, just someone telling Bond a story about a failed marriage. That pretty much tells you everything you need to know about this movie. This thing is kind of baffling. It's not terrible, it's just not very good. It is very clear that there was a writers strike going on when this was made because the story is all over the place. There is potential for a good movie in here, but as it stands, especially following on the heels of Casino Royale, this just feels out of place.   We shall return in a few weeks with... Thunderball.

After reviewing 25 movies released over the span of 50 years, Now Playing reaches the conclusion of its James Bond retrospective series--Skyfall. Continuing the rebooted spy stories starring Daniel Craig, Skyfall has already become the top-grossing film in the James Bond franchise, and there is even rumblings of Academy Award honors. But can it really best Craig's Casino Royale, and how does a life long Bond fan warm to this new take? Listen to Now Playing's ultimate James Bond review to find out! Plus the hosts reflect on all 25 Bond films, picking the best and worst actors, film, and songs from the franchise!

In 2006 we got a new take on an old hero with James Bond in Casino Royale, but while the film told of the spy's first adventure questions were left unanswered. Who were the mysterious people to whom Le Chiffre owed money? Who is the mysterious employer behind Mr. White? These answers were to be revealed two years later in the follow-up film Quantum of Solace. With Daniel Craig returning and a title taken from an original Fleming story, can this film live up to the high praise given to Casino Royale? Listen to Arnie, Stuart, and Brock's review to find out in Now Playing's penultimate James Bond review leading directly to this year's blockbuster Skyfall!

James Bond made his first appearance in Ian Fleming's novels in 1953 in the novel Casino Royale, and in 2006 a brand new James Bond makes his first appearance in a film based on that novel. Rights issues had prevented Eon from adapting the original James Bond story as part of their film series, but with the rights obtained they used that opportunity to present a new James Bond for a new generation. Not just a new actor in the role, but an entirely new take on the MI6 agent, showing his origin, his obtaining his double-oh status, and going on his first mission to win a high stakes poker game against international terrorist Le Chiffre. But did Bond need a reboot? And how does Craig stack up against the previous Bond? Listen to Arnie, Stuart, and Brock's review to find out!

It's James Bond's first adventure in the 21st century, and Pierce Brosnan's last time playing the role of the British secret agent. Partnered with Halle Berry's NSA agent Jinx Johnson, can the two stop a North Korean terrorist's nefarious plot? It's a film celebrating the lore of Bond, but not very celebrated by Bond fans. Is the reputation deserved, and what final impression does Brosnan leave as Bond? Listen to Now Playing to find out!

In Pierce Brosnan's third outing as James Bond he must protect an oil heiress against a mercenary out for revenge, and uncovers a plot that involves a nuclear bomb being detonated in Istanbul. Notorious for having Bond girl Denise Richards, is this movie enough to earn a recommend from Arnie, Stuart, and Brock? Listen to Now Playing to find out!

Bond has taken on evil in many forms, from expansionist communist regimes to maniacal villains who wish to destroy Earth, but can Bond take on the villain of the 90s--the media? In Brosnan's second film playing 007, he goes against Elliot Carver who hopes to foster a war between England and China to raise the ratings of his cable news network. The film has kung-fu, a helicopter chase, and a remote-controlled BMW, but is it Bond at his best? Listen to find out!
