Robert meets legendary musician Johnny Marr to celebrate the launch day of his brand new album The Age Of Everything, out today!!!Johnny Marr is one of the most creative, singular and influential guitar players in the history of pop music. He created a shimmering sonic framework for 1980s indie in his visionary work in The Smiths that continues to be foundational and endlessly emulated to this day.He's been a member of The The, teamed up with New Order's Bernard Sumner to form the electronic pop outfit, Electronic, and has also had stints in bands such as Modest Mouse, The Pretenders, The Cribs as well as contributing guitar for Pet Shop Boys. But despite a lifetime of collaborations, Marr is in something of a new chapter of his career as a solo artist. In the last 13 years he has released five albums, with the latest undoubtedly his best yet: The Age of Everything.The Age Of Everything is Johnny Marr's fifth full length studio record. 10 new songs that he describes as the most cathartic songwriting of his career. Written in London, developed live on the road across the East Coast of North America and recorded in Manchester, The Age Of Everything captures the energy and tensions of the city. Sharp, fast and dynamic, filled with ideas and possibilities.Introducing the album, Johnny Marr said: “This is the record that's been the most cathartic. The title came to me early in the process and became an inescapable idea.It seemed to sum up the way I think a lot of people are feeling. It's all encompassing, but it's not necessarily a negative statement. There's a sense of overwhelm in the culture brought about by technology, but looking at it with a different light, there could also be a sense of possibility.”It is the unique dialogue that exists between Johnny Marr and his audience that has turbo-charged the sound of The Age Of Everything. Whilst touring the East Coast of North America in late 2025, more than half of the set consisted of brand new and unheard music. This research and development in the field brought a new energy to the songs, something inspired by what Johnny describes as a preoccupation with perception. How we perceive things as we move through life. Considering the possibility of everything: good and bad. Choosing the promise of the future, with defiance and resistance.Few artists remain as relentlessly creative as Johnny Marr. Since launching his solo career he has scored five UK Top 10 albums, released a Sunday Times bestselling autobiography Set The Boy Free, recorded the James Bond theme for No Time To Die with Billie Eilish, received the Ivor Novello Inspiration Award, an Academy Award nomination for his work with Hans Zimmer on Inception, NME's Godlike Genius honour, and played sold-out tours and major festivals across the world. The years that have elapsed since the release of 2022's Fever Dreams Pts 1-4 album signalled a new era, bringing the career-spanning collection Spirit Power: The Best Of Johnny Marr, the acclaimed photobook Marr's Guitars, full orchestral concert A Night With The Johnny Marr Orchestra, the Look Out Live! album, as well as writing and recording with Gorillaz, Franz Ferdinand, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and performing on the HELP(2) album with Grian Chatten (Fontaines DC) and Kae Tempest - the latest in a long line of exciting and unexpected collaborations.Listen to The Age Of Everything here. The new album is available on CD, black vinyl and limited edition red vinyl.Follow @JohnnyMarrGram Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The answer ALEX TREBEK (rest his soul, saints preserve us) gave was "A hybrid film combining elements of James Bond spy movies, fifties atomic invasion cinema, and an extended musical break." The question was...What is "Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla"?In the second instalment of our Godzilla Eras Tour (no relation to the Taylor Swift tour, this refers to the Godzilla eras and how they, you know what, just go listen to the first episode we explain it there), we're taking on the beast made of space titanium, invented by aliens but once broken by humans can only be fixed by a human who is an expert in alien technology (deep breath) MECHAGODZILLA!Also, technically, humans don't break Mechagodzilla, it's either Anguruis or Godzilla, but podcast notes guy can't remember because this movie is so weird it all starts to run together in sort of a bizarre Godzilla goop. Join Josh and Ryan as they break down the absolutely baffling musical choices, the ONE clever thing the movie does before ninety minutes of questionable decisions, and what the best methods for slowly steaming a person to death is (this is relavent to the movie, the aliens have really inefficient ways of dispatching their enemies). Join us for: GODZILLA VS MECHAGODZILLA! Released 1974, starring Masaaki Daimon, Kazuya Aoyama, Reiko Tajima, and Akihiko Hirata
Chris takes the controls this week with The Living Daylights, the 1987 James Bond adventure that introduced Timothy Dalton as 007 following Roger Moore's retirement from the role. Directed by Bond veteran John Glen and produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, the film had an estimated $40 million budget and paired Dalton with Maryam d'Abo, Jeroen Krabbé, Joe Don Baker, John Rhys-Davies and Art Malik. Filming took the production from Pinewood Studios to Gibraltar, Vienna and Morocco, with Dalton throwing himself into the action and performing a surprising amount of the stunt work himself.Released in the summer of 1987, The Living Daylights earned roughly $191.2 million worldwide, comfortably keeping the Bond machine rolling into its fourth decade. Dalton's harder-edged, more serious interpretation divided some contemporary critics: Roger Ebert felt the new Bond lacked the humour the series needed, while other reviewers welcomed the return to a more grounded, Fleming-inspired 007. Over the years, Dalton's brief two-film run has developed a strong following among Bond fans, with The Living Daylights increasingly remembered as an interesting bridge between the larger-than-life Moore era and the tougher Bonds that followed.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISWhen a Soviet general decides he'd quite like to defect without acquiring any additional ventilation holes, 007 is sent to make sure he reaches the West alive. But when Bond spots a beautiful cellist holding the rifle that's supposed to kill his man, something doesn't quite add up. Mainly because James Bond has apparently discovered the revolutionary espionage technique of asking, “Hang on... does any of this make sense?”FUN FACTSThe Living Daylights takes its title from Ian Fleming's James Bond short story, first published in 1962. The opening portion of the film retains the basic idea of Bond protecting a defector from a sniper before the movie heads off into an original adventure.Norwegian band a-ha performed the title song, with Bond composer John Barry also involved in its production. The collaboration was reportedly not always harmonious, but the resulting track became one of the unmistakably '80s entries in the Bond song catalogue.This was John Barry's final James Bond score, ending a remarkable association with the series that stretched back to Dr. No and his arrangement of the James Bond Theme.The Pretenders also feature heavily on the soundtrack. Their song Where Has Everybody Gone? is repeatedly associated with Necros, while If There Was a Man plays over the end credits.Kara's legendary cello-case escape was achieved using a specially constructed fibreglass case fitted with skis underneath and handles that allowed it to be controlled. Finally, an instrument case with a Q Branch specification sheet.Timothy Dalton performed a number of his own action sequences, including stunt work on top of a speeding Land Rover during the Gibraltar opening. Apparently simply turning up, saying “Bond, James Bond” and collecting the cheque wasn't adventurous enough.SUPPORT THE SHOWIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.And if you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

AVA GLASS Learn more about Ava Glass at https://www.avaglass.uk Ava Glass is the UK's biggest selling female spy writer with over 2million copies sold, who writes about the world of female spies from firsthand experience and has been dubbed the “female heir to James Bond” by James Patterson and “the new Queen of spy fiction” by The Guardian. Having worked in British intelligence for just shy of a decade, Ava Glass uses her novels to reveal the hidden world of female espionage in compelling and realistic spy writing that shatters the James Bond stereotype. Ava Glass's fourth novel The Hiding Season is published by Penguin Cornerstone in paperback on 13th August and explores the damage that spies do to those who accidentally cross their path, something Ava has experienced herself. In a completely fresh direction for Ava Glass, The Hiding Season is set in America's wild west state of Montana following an ordinary American woman running for her life after she witnesses the murder of one of America's most powerful senators – the perfect read for fans of hit shows The Night Manger and Yellowstone. Her many years working with MI6, MI5 and the FIB, mean that Ava Glass (not her real name) has signed the official secrets act, has been befriended, vetted and duped by spies, seen everything from the real Bond Girls – Britain's brigade of female spies; participated in terrorist simulations on British soil - where the British Government blow up more buildings than a Mission Impossible film so spies can practice for the real thing; and has some brilliant stories to share from the secret spy nod, secret spy doors, to why not to tussle with a spy in public. Prior to working with MI5 and MI6, Glass had a previous career as a crime reporter in the USA covering murders & kidnappings alongside the FBI and has written for the New York Times and Reuters. Ava also frequently appears on BBC Radio 4 and Sky News covering the latest spy stories. Current Release THE HIDING SEASON PENGUIN | 13 AUGUST 2026 Trust no one. Move fast. From the UK Queen of spy fiction, comes a brilliant new spy novel set in the heart of America. Exploring the damage that spies can do to those who become entangled with them, The Hiding Season follows an ordinary woman running for her life after she witnesses the murder of one of America's most powerful senators. Escaping from a broken marriage, Maya Landry moves to Bozeman, Montana, the gateway to the Rocky Mountains. Working at an exclusive private ski-resort in the off season, Maya's new life of quiet reflection in the mountains is going exactly as she'd hoped . . . until she stumbles across a dead body. With no phone signal, she races down the mountain to get help. But when she returns with the police, the body is gone and no-one believes her. Later that night Maya is told by FBI agent Riley Maguire that if she doesn't leave the state tonight, she'll be dead by morning. Forced to change her identity, leave everything behind and move across the country, Maya trusts Riley to keep her safe. But, when her hiding place is compromised, should she trust him? And are the feelings she's having towards him too good to be true? From a ski lodge in the Rocky Mountains to the Dirty Sixth in Austin, and from an anonymous safehouse in Texas to the headquarters of the FBI in Chicago, this is a page-turning, pulse-pounding thriller that explores the collateral damage of an FBI operation gone wrong.

Kaffet bär på kolonialismens arv – och nu hotas produktionen av klimatförändringarna. Shora Esmailian berättar om en vardagslyx med bitter eftersmak. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Efter färden på smala serpentinvägar stannar bilen. ”Vill du komma upp i bergen måste vi gå härifrån”, informerar guiden. Jag är i de blå bergen på Jamaica – en lummig bergskedja som sträcker sig från Port Antonio i norr till Kingston i söder. Fyra sekler tidigare sökte förrymda slavar skydd här och det var i blå bergens vildmark som de fria slavarna, så kallade marooner, anlade sina samhällen. Med ledaren Queen Nanny i spetsen bjöd de under 1700-talet på motstånd mot de brittiska kolonialherrarna genom att bränna ner plantager och frita slavar.Men dessa berg är också kända för något annat: kaffet som odlas i Blue Mountain är en av världens mest exklusiva och dyraste kaffesorter. En lång och stup vandring krävs för att komma upp. Topparna och dalarna nedanför ser ut som mjuka och fluffiga kuddar av skog. Här finns varken el eller rinnande vatten och när mörkret lagt sig fylls luften av eldflugor. Morgonen därpå undrar jag om det finns kaffe – Blue Mountain-kaffet var trots allt författaren Ian Flemings favoritsort under tiden han skrev böckerna om James Bond. Guiden tittar irriterat på mig och säger strängt: ”Här dricker ingen kaffe!”.Med den kommentaren försvinner drömmen om att sitta och njuta av soluppgången och utsikten med en varm kaffekopp i handen. Vandringen ner sker med bultande huvudvärk och nog är det här, i Jamaicas blå berg, som tanken jag länge försökt tränga undan slår mig på riktigt: hur ska man leva i en framtid där den globala uppvärmningen gjort det omöjligt – både skördemässigt och ekonomiskt – att starta dagen med kaffe? Vad ska jag beställa när jag sätter mig för att fika med en vän och hur vaknar jag till liv under arbetspasset på eftermiddagen, när tröttheten smyger sig på några timmar efter lunch? Choklad och exotiska frukter kan jag leva utan, men livet ter sig inte bara fattigare, utan nästintill omöjligt, utan kaffe.Och: hur ska miljoner människor som är med och skapar kaffe överleva?Dagens Jamaica har inte särskilt stor kaffeproduktion, men under tidigt 1800-tal var man en av världens främsta exportörer. 1728, samma år som maroonerna inledde sitt första krig mot kolonisatörerna, lät Jamaicas guvernör, britten Sir Nicholas Lawes, plantera den första kaffeplantan. Öns jord och klimat visade sig vara en perfekt plats för den känsliga växten.Dessutom hade britterna genom den transatlantiska slavhandeln fyllt ön med slavar – i början av 1800-talet fanns så många som 300 000 – och under 1700-talet var den en av den brittiska kronans mest lönsamma kolonier, just på grund av socker- och kaffeplantagerna. När slaveriet avskaffades störtdök den jamaicanska kaffeproduktionen men tog fart i stor skala i andra delar av världen.Kaffeindustrin omsätter miljarder dollar årligen, men merparten av kaffet odlas och skördas av småskaliga jordbrukare och arbetare i tropiska regioner belägna längs ekvatorn, i det så kallade ”kaffebönbältet”. 125 miljoner människor är beroende av kaffe för sin försörjning men har inte råd att dricka det: alla inkomster från försäljning av kaffebönan går till nästa års grödor. Kolonialismens överföring av rikedom och resurser från det globala syd till det globala nord fortsätter i våra dagar genom just kaffet.Nu har ytterligare en faktor försvårat för kaffebönder – och alla oss kaffeberoende att ta en stunds fika: den globala uppvärmningen.I snart tjugo år har både forskare och stora kaffeproducenter som Lavazza och Starbucks varnat för att klimatkrisen kommer att påverka kaffeindustrin. Kaffeträdet, som har sitt ursprung i det etiopiska höglandet, behöver helt rätt förhållanden för att producera det bär som i sin tur innehåller frön som torkas och rostas innan de mals ner och blir den svarta dryck som så många av oss älskar.Kaffeplantan – särskilt den som producerar den populära Arabicabönan – växer bäst i temperaturer mellan 18 och 22 grader. Men temperaturerna stiger även på de breddgrader och höjder där kaffe historiskt har odlats. Bara lite mer värme eller lite mer regn kan vara förödande.Allt mer oberäkneligt och kraftigare regn leder till sjukdomar på träden och extremväder i form av förlängda torrperioder dödar kaffeplantan och urholkar jordkvalitén. Kaffebönder har under många år vittnat om minskad produktion och plantor som inte mår bra.I Sverige häver vi i genomsnitt i oss tre koppar om dagen och när kaffepriset höjs kraftigt leder det till ramaskri. 2024 sköt råvarupriset på kaffe i höjden med över 70 procent – det högsta sedan 1977 – efter att världens största kaffeproducent Brasilien drabbats av den värsta torkan i modern historia. Också Vietnam, världens näst största kaffeproducent, drabbades under samma period av för varmt och torrt väder – en verklighet som ser ut att bli det nya normala i takt med att utsläppen ökar årligen.Till och med FN:s klimatpanel IPCC har beskrivit kaffeindustrins sårbarhet och färska studier visar att de fem länder som står för 75 procent av världens kaffeproduktion – Brasilien, Vietnam, Colombia, Etiopien och Indonesien – numera har två månader per år mer med kaffeskadlig temperatur på över 30 grader än tidigare.I den etiopiska regionen Oromia har den nya verkligheten skapat en katastrofal situation för bönderna. I detta kaffets födelseplats är fler än fyra miljoner hushåll beroende av sina kaffeplantor och bidrar till en tredjedel av landets exportintäkter, men inte så länge till. Allt fler torkperioder varvat med kraftiga regn har lett till en avbefolkning av landsbygden sällan skådat i den etiopiska historien. När marken inte längre ger det den brukade ser unga etiopier ingen annan utväg än att hitta arbete långt ifrån sina byar. Sedan flera år har de migrerat, oftast till Gulfen, i hopp om att kunna försörja sina familjer. Kvar i de etiopiska byarna finns numera uttorkade fält och en åldrad befolkning.För oss relativt välbeställda kaffeälskare ter sig konsekvenserna av den globala uppvärmningen inte lika dramatiska som för kaffebönderna. Kaffepriset må stiga – till en hel krona koppen – men än så länge har jag inte lyckats avhålla mig från lyxen av mitt nypressade morgonkaffe, även om jag ofta tänker på den där morgonen i blå bergen. Men visst börjar det bli dags att hitta en annan följeslagare för njutningsfulla stunder innan klimatkrisen förvandlat kaffet till en dryck endast för världen rikaste.Shora Esmailianförfattare och kulturjournalistProducent: Ann LingebrandtMusik: Black Coffee med Sonny Criss, Walter Davis, Paul Chambers, Alan Dawson, från albumet This Is Criss, 1966.

This week on Shat the Movies, we're going rogue with Licence to Kill (1989), the Bond movie where 007 forgets about saving the world and makes things very personal. Timothy Dalton's Bond quits MI6 and goes after drug lord Franz Sanchez, giving us revenge, exploding tankers, questionable undercover decisions, and one seriously pissed off James Bond. Gene and Big D break down Dalton's darker take on the character and whether this stripped down Bond adventure was ahead of its time. Does Licence to Kill deserve another look, or was this just too much Bond for 1989? Tune in and find out. Full movie info below: Licence to Kill (1989) is a James Bond film directed by John Glen and stars Timothy Dalton, Carey Lowell, Robert Davi, Talisa Soto, Anthony Zerbe, and a young Benicio del Toro. After drug lord Franz Sanchez brutally attacks Felix Leiter, Bond ignores orders and sets out for revenge, infiltrating Sanchez's organization from within. The film marked Dalton's second and final appearance as James Bond and took the series in a darker, more violent direction years before the franchise would revisit a similar approach with Daniel Craig.

In this week's episode, we're going down a very silly path with the 1989 comedy/horror film "C.H.U.D. II: Bud the C.H.U.D." Honestly it's hard to believe it's real.

In a huge episode of Film Stories, Simon digs into the story of Daniel Craig's second adventure as James Bond, Quantum Of Solace. Originally set to come out just 18 months or so after 2006's Casino Royale, the speedy turnaround saw one director leave, a writer's strike curtail the script. Daniel Craig picking up a pen, and a handful of weeks to turn around a final cut. Then, for the second part of this episode, indie director Brenda Lee chats about her new film, Fortune Cookies, and how she turned down the idea of getting it sent to Ang Lee to make it herself...

Don't be shy, send me a message!Is Moonraker (1979) the most under-appreciated 007 film among James Bond aficionados? Thomas Felix Creighton discusses this question with his special guest, who as CEO of Shogun Films has recently produced a British spy film of his own; Knightfall (2026) even has Roger Moore's son Geoffrey, along with Sir Roger Moore's successor in the role of Simon Templar (aka 'The Saint'), Ian Ogilvy. Thomas and Jonathan Sothcott cover such questions as: Should Bond reflect the real world of espionage?How does James Bond influence his fans' behaviour?Does it matter if the 007 films are 'accurate' to the original book series?All this and a good discussion of menswear... after all, Jonathan Sothcott is the author of 'The Jermyn Street Shirt'!

Read transcriptBy the time Digimon World 3 rolled around in 2002, a franchise that started as an egg-shaped virtual pet and spun off into a manga and an anime around the same time had picked up enough separate games and separate continuities that keeping any of it straight had apparently stopped being a priority. At least one reviewer we found says flat-out that the game gets its own canon wrong in places, which at this point feels less like a flaw and more like a house style. You play a kid named Junior, no last name, no further explanation, who gets pulled into a server with three Digimon partners, though only one is allowed to actually fight at a time while the other two wait their turn. Enemies show up completely at random now too, so unlike earlier games in the series, you can't just spot trouble on the map and calmly walk the other way. Take enough hits and your blast meter fills up, letting a Digimon go Blast Digivolve and get meaner for a while, or you can combine two Digimon with DNA Digivolve to create something new that fires off one big attack and then immediately splits back apart. There's also a full card battle game built right into the RPG, all 314 cards of it, so between fetch quests you'll have plenty of downtime to build a deck. Joining us to help sort through all of it is Chels Eichholz, who co-hosts The Q Division, a James Bond rewatch podcast, and Across the Whoniverse, a Doctor Who marathon show that “kidnaps” a new companion every episode to explore a different corner of sixty-plus years of continuity. Between those two franchises, Chels has plenty of practice diving into a huge tangle of lore and coming out the other side having a genuinely great time, which makes them the perfect person to take on a game that's basically nothing but tangled lore. So dig up an old memory card, pick which one of your three Digimon gets to have a personality this round, and let's find out whether Digimon World 3 earned its spot in Digimon history, or whether it should've DNA Digivolved into something else entirely. Learn such things as: How did the local programming directors help shape our personalities, and are we really losing something by streaming making all things possible? How many versions of ‘volving can you have before you have to start paying Sweedish taxes? How often can you go from Point A to Point B to Point A to Point B to Point A to Point B before throwing things out the window? And so much more!

THE SHY YETI looks out for LOOK-IN!First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on September 27th 2026.This week, PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI himself is back and he's been on a bit of a spending spree, tracking down for his collection some early copies of a comic / magazine that was something of a cornerstone of our TV appreciation for kids like me in the 1970s.LOOK-IN, the self-styled “JUNIOR TV TIMES” that, with its articles on popular TV, pop stars, football and the like, cast its popularity net far and wide amongst the pop culture seekers of that particular decade and, to a far lesser extent, into the eighties and beyond.Glossy in finish, and featuring great photos and articles, as well as some gorgeous cover art, how could we not be tempted by this fine example of a magazine specifically (and very successfully) aimed so precisely at our age group, no matter what our interests might have been?Despite the articles on the popular chart bands of the time, and the bigger movies of the era including JAMES BOND and STAR WARS, perhaps inevitably it was the telly stuff that drew kids like me in, especially with the beautifully rendered comic strip art that extended the adventures of our favourite TV adventure series, and really were a big part of the draw for those of us who bought LOOK-IN each and every week.THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN, THE BIONIC WOMAN, THE TOMORROW PEOPLE and SPACE: 1999 might have been some of my favourite comic strip adventures of that era, and occasionally might have been more exciting than the shows that spawned them, but other shows such as FOLLYFOOT, TIMESLIP, DICK TURPIN, and HOW THE WEST WAS WON were also featured, as well as comic greats such as… BENNY HILL.PAUL has been tracking down some of the rarer early issues, and that was the starting point for this week's conversation, so I hope you'll enjoy thi rather nostalgic hour as we talk about all things LOOK-IN PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition. All the spoken word content remains (mostly) as it was in the broadcast version. Hopefully this won't spoil your enjoyment of the show.
My guest this week is Anthony Prince Leslie, a photographer and filmmaker from Brooklyn. He has made a name for himself shooting behind the scenes footage for films like The Drama and Spider-Man Brand New Day. I wanted to speak to him to learn all about shooting behind the scenes on a modern movie set, and on film. This conversation involves some fairly hard-core cameras of the stills and moving picture variety and an impromptu fit check so you might want to watch this one on YouTube.Mentioned in this episodePeopleZendaya — connected AP to The Drama and later to Spider-Man: Brand New Day · WikipediaLaw Roach — celebrity stylist AP worked with on the Bringing It Forward series, including a Tommy Hilfiger campaign · WikipediaTom Holland — star of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, who told AP he loved the sound of his camera on set · WikipediaSadie Sink — mentioned as the subject of new images AP is preparing to release · WikipediaDestin Daniel Cretton — director of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, credited by AP for giving him access on set · WikipediaGreg Williams — behind-the-scenes photographer known for his work on the James Bond films, cited for a Matt Damon film image printed in Hollywood Authentic · gregwilliams.comFilms and projectsSpider-Man: Brand New Day — the film AP shot special unit stills for; his medium-format and Bolex images from set are the reason Iain invited him on · WikipediaThe Drama — A24 film starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, directed by Kristoffer Borgli, that first connected AP to feature productions · WikipediaSugar Honey Iced Tea — AP's own feature film in development, about gentrification in Brooklyn, which he now plans to shoot on filmBringing It Forward — AP's editorial series with Law Roach, including the Tommy Hilfiger campaign that helped lead to his film workGear and toolsMamiya RB67 — AP's favourite stills camera, prized for its square format · WikipediaBolex H16 — his hand-cranked 16mm film camera, used to steal moments between takes on set · WikipediaFujifilm GFX 100 — his discreet, medium-format digital go-to for campaigns and editorials · fujifilm-x.comLeica M11 — his everyday carry camera, paired with a Zeiss 35mm lens · leica-camera.comLeica R9 with digital back — a film-era body converted to a 10-megapixel digital camera, which AP recently discovered · WikipediaARRI 416 — the Super-16 camera AP calls his "graduation" from the Bolex, used briefly on the Spider-Man set · WikipediaAlexa LF — the large-format digital cinema camera at the top of AP's wish list · arri.comCanon IXUS 75 — his low-key point-and-shoot for staying discreet on set · WikipediaCompanies and institutionsEquator Studio — AP's creative studio and full-service production company · equator.studioRapid Eye Dark Rooms — the London film lab AP trusts for colour development and scanning · rapideye.uk.comKodak London — Kodak's UK film processing lab, credited for fast, high-quality 16mm and 8mm turnaroundPanavision — camera rental house that supplied and serviced AP's cameras on setHollywood Authentic — the large-format film photography magazine that printed Greg Williams' Matt Damon image · hollywoodauthentic.comMusic"Interrogation (Skit)" by A$AP Rocky, from the album Don't Be Dumb — the source of the episode's title line · WikipediaSupport the show on Patreon.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you'll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I'm interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.
I was happy to guest on the first episode of a new podcast by Matt Sergiou, this one drawing on my presentation from the Sheep Farm Live event this summer, concerning mind-control and social-engineering aspects of the James Bond stories.Here, I discuss that with Matt, along with Dom & Chris of Sheep Farm. Naturally, the conversation veers off on many intriguing tangents along the way!
RHLSTP Book Club 195 - King Zero - Rich is at the Podcast Room talking to the multi-talented Charlie Higson about his new James Bond novel, King Zero. They talk about how this is Richard's first Bond book and how his expectations were confounded, how Higson is so knowledgeable about the deserts of Saudi Arabie, whether Bond is now woke and the difficulties of placing him in a different era, whilst still acknowledging his past, why Charlie wanted to resurrect the Sado-masochism of the original novels and was able to indulge some horrible thoughts in the mouths of his more despicable characters. Is he worried that he's come up with a plot that will destroy the world?

If I say "British spy," you picture a man: James Bond, George Smiley, Kim Philby. And the one woman most people can name from that world is fictional — Miss Moneypenny, sitting outside M's office, quietly in love with 007. But Miss Moneypenny was real, or at least the woman who inspired her was. Her name was Kathleen Pettigrew, personal assistant to three consecutive chiefs of MI6, and every secret in the wartime service passed across her desk. When someone asked whether she'd been the real Moneypenny, she replied: "I was Miss Moneypenny, but with more power." In this episode, Jonathan Thomas is joined by Dr. Claire Hubbard-Hall, historian of secret intelligence, honorary associate professor of intelligence history, and author of Secret Servants of the Crown: The Forgotten Women of British Intelligence (published in the UK as Her Secret Service). Claire explains how she found the pencil-crossed "Miss Pettaval" in Fleming's first draft of Casino Royale; how Pettigrew and one colleague received every decrypted Enigma message sent from Bletchley Park to MI6; why the word "secretary" was a perfect cover for agent running, code work and courier duty; and how she tracked down women trained to leave no trace — reading margin notes and paper chits, then turning family historian and writing some 200 letters to surviving relatives. Plus: Rita Windsor, the MI6 officer in wartime Lisbon who got July Plot survivor Otto John out of Europe; the post-war "travel agency" she ran with Ina Molesworth; an incendiary briefcase carried by train to Bletchley Park and blown up on the lawn; the long zigzag road to the first female heads of MI5, GCHQ and MI6; and why Slow Horses gets it right.

In Ian Fleming's first draft of Casino Royale, the character we know as Miss Moneypenny was originally called "Miss Pettaval" — crossed out in pencil and renamed. Fleming, a wartime naval intelligence officer, would have walked past Pettigrew's desk outside Stewart Menzies's office at 54 Broadway. Pettigrew's power was real. She helped set up MI6's communications team at Bletchley Park in 1939, and back at headquarters she and a colleague, Miss Jones, personally received every decrypted Enigma message passed from Bletchley to MI6 — the gatekeeper deciding where intelligence went. She also accompanied Menzies to Churchill's famous late-night meetings to take notes. She came from nothing like Moneypenny's polished upper-class background. Born in industrial East Bermondsey to a seal fur dresser, she grew up in a two-room flat above her parents' shop off the Strand. Technical college, secretarial training and elocution lessons got her into Special Branch in the First World War — and from there, "through the looking glass." Career women like Pettigrew paid a steep price. Marriage bars meant choosing the job meant giving up marriage and children. MI5 dropped its marriage bar shortly after the Second World War; the Foreign Office and MI6 kept theirs until the early 1970s. "Secretary" was the perfect cover. Behind the job title, women translated, encrypted and decrypted, ran agents, acted as agents and couriers, made secret inks, and produced photography for fake passes and disinformation. Women were there from the very beginning — MI6 employed its first female agent in 1909, the year it was founded. Popular culture — and especially the endlessly retold, heavily sexualized Mata Hari legend — typecast women in espionage as seductresses and "Bond girls," which helped erase the women doing the real work. Claire notes that the effort to write them back in has gathered real momentum over the past decade. Researching women trained to leave no trace meant thinking like a counterintelligence officer. Because women created and handled the files rather than making the decisions recorded in them, Claire looked past the content to margin notes, pencilled initials and paper chits — then worked like a family historian, using wills, genealogy, the electoral roll and around 200 handwritten letters to surviving relatives, most of whom had no idea. Rita Windsor, stationed at MI6's Lisbon station in neutral Portugal, organized agent infiltrations, exfiltrations and defections. When Britain broke off contact with German resistance contact Otto John before D-Day, and the July 1944 plot against Hitler then failed, it was Windsor who got him out through Portugal and Spain to Britain. John dedicated his memoir to her. After the war, Windsor and her colleague Ina Molesworth set up a high-end travel agency, International Services, taking small groups of well-connected travelers to Afghanistan, Moscow and — one of the first agencies allowed in — China. Claire's research makes clear it was an MI6 cover. The details are in the book. The road from Kathleen Pettigrew to the first female heads of Britain's intelligence services was anything but straight: Jane Sissmore became MI5's first female officer in 1929; Millicent Bagot became deputy director in the 1950s; Stella Rimington became the first female director general of MI5 in 1992; Anne Keast-Butler became the first female director of GCHQ in 2023; and Blaise Metreweli became the first female chief of MI6 in 2025. Soundbites "I was Miss Moneypenny, but with more power." — Kathleen Pettigrew, as quoted in Jonathan's introduction. "These women in the book have absolutely fantastic names, written for spy stories." — Claire on her cast of characters. "Let's not forget, these women were trained to evade everybody — even the historian coming later in the twenty-first century." — Claire on the challenge of researching MI6 women. "The first draft of that first Bond novel — the woman we now know as Miss Moneypenny was actually given a different name to start off with: Miss Pettaval. And you can instantly see the similarities between Pettaval and Pettigrew." — Claire on the discovery that clinched it. "All of the decrypted German Enigma messages coming out of Bletchley Park had to pass through MI6. MI6 was the gatekeeper, essentially. And the two women that received them were Miss Pettigrew and Miss Jones." — Claire on the true scale of Pettigrew's role. "Secretary was this wonderful catch-all phrase that women in the Secret Services could use as cover, as camouflage. It was perfect, because nobody would suspect that they were doing anything different." — Claire on the job title that hid everything. "I did transform into a counterintelligence officer myself, in terms of the methodologies I had to adopt to try and get at these women." — Claire on her research method. "I probably sent out two hundred letters over the course of the project to family and relatives, and most of them wrote back — because they had no idea that Great Aunt Ethel had worked in any capacity within that clandestine world." — Claire on turning family historian. "The guy walked to the very edge of the lake, popped the briefcase down — and what do you think happened to the briefcase then? It blew up. It was an incendiary device, and a very unstable one. Can you imagine that going off on the train?" — Claire on Lois Hamilton and MI6's Section D at Bletchley Park. "When you take these historical moments, they are absolutely fantastic — hooray.

In April 2025, the bond market did something the stock market couldn't: it made a sitting president reverse course within days. Financial Times journalist Robin Wigglesworth, author of the new book A Fabulous Debt, joins Joe and OG to explain why bonds, dismissed for centuries as the dull corner of finance, are actually the bedrock everything else sits on. From a murdered medieval ruler in Venice to a Scottish con man who sold bonds for a country that didn't exist to the hedge fund collapse that nearly took down the global financial system, this is 900 years of history explaining exactly why the "boring" market is the one that actually moves empires.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy the bond market, not the stock market, is what actually forced a change of course during 2025's "Liberation Day" tariff chaosThe surprisingly wild origin story of the very first government bond, issued in 1171 Venice, and how it got its ruler killedHow the Dutch turned Venice's basic invention into a true market, and used it to fund their independence from a much larger empireThe incredible true story of a con man who sold real bonds for a fictional country and lured hundreds of settlers to their deathsWhy Long-Term Capital Management, staffed with Nobel laureates and legendary traders, collapsed almost overnight in 1998The biggest misconception most Americans have about U.S. government debt, and why the reality is more nuanced than the doom headlines suggestWhy the oldest investing mistake in 900 years of financial history is still the simplest one: borrowing too muchWhy This Matters NowMost people never think about bonds until something breaks, a rate spike, a market scare, a headline about the national debt, and by then it can feel too complicated to catch up on. But bonds quietly determine mortgage rates, corporate borrowing costs, and government policy in ways that touch daily life far more than most people realize. Understanding even the basics of how this market works, and how consistently it has shaped history, turns a vague sense of unease about "the economy" into something you can actually follow and make sense of.From the BasementA Bond-adjacent trivia detour (the James Bond kind, not the financial kind) reveals that Ian Fleming borrowed his spy's name from a real-life ornithologist, proof that even a show about medieval Venetian debt can't resist a pun. Plus, a Wall Street Journal headline on why the job market has quietly flipped in favor of workers without a college degree.Resources MentionedA Fabulous Debt by Robin Wigglesworth — Robin's new book on the 900-year history of bondsTrillions by Robin Wigglesworth — Robin's earlier book on the history of index fundsStacking Benjamins Field Kit — the all-in-one budgeting and net worth tracking toolSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Most successful writers have a method or routine they follow. Though his life is far different from ours, Ian Fleming, writer of the James Bond books, have a routine he would follow.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when your scheduled guest cancels at the last minute? You throw out the script and start talking about whatever the hell you've been watching.That's exactly what happened on this week's episode of The Fixate & Binge Podcast — and it turned into one of our most wide-ranging conversations yet.First up: Zach Cregger's RESIDENT EVIL. I went in expecting a fun horror movie and came away convinced it may be the best horror film I've seen all year. I'll explain why — completely spoiler-free — and why Cregger's wildly entertaining take on the iconic video-game franchise worked so much better for me than I ever expected.Then we take a very different turn with Russell Crowe's THE GET OUT, a film that got me thinking about the increasingly strange career trajectories of some of Hollywood's most acclaimed movie stars — from Liam Neeson and John Travolta to Nicolas Cage, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro — and why so many actors who once headlined major theatrical releases are now turning up in streaming movies.That leads naturally to one of television's great exceptions: Gary Oldman in SLOW HORSES.And speaking of Slow Horses… I've got a prediction.I think Jack Lowden may be the next James Bond.I'll explain exactly why I think River Cartwright has demonstrated many of the qualities that could make Lowden an intriguing successor to Daniel Craig — and why his work on Slow Horses may be the audition we've been watching without realizing it.And finally, because apparently I needed to restore my wounded ego after watching Jeopardy! Masters, I wrap things up with a brief comparison between that brain-melting display of knowledge and The Nation's Dumbest Celebrity — one show that made me feel very, very stupid… and another that restored my confidence.A canceled guest. A surprisingly great RESIDENT EVIL. Russell Crowe. The changing movie-star economy. Gary Oldman. Jack Lowden. James Bond. Jeopardy!

Will, Adam, and Mike watched LICENCE TO KILL (1989). It's the ultimate 80s James Bond movie. It has cocaine, Florida, iguanas, chicks with flat asses, and Wayne Newton. But is it any good? IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097742/ Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quHQAuO0lkg
Candace Owens is just a Catholic, a mother, and a wife. She loves her husband, works hard, and tries not to let internet drama disturb her spiritual peace. She also has just a few questions about the international satanic conspiracy behind Charlie Kirk's ritual murder.We join Candace during her appearance on the Shawn Ryan Show, where an impressive amount of time is devoted to establishing how lovely they both find each other. There are the usual fond memories of dinner, a husband who is a James Bond lookalike, and a series of fascinating career adventures, including how Candace rose to be vice president of administration in just 4 years! She even got to experience the damaging effects of toxic mould before it was fashionable (and don't worry, it was cured with a restrictive diet!).Candace is like a one-woman crash course in conspiratorial ideation and how conspiracy theorists interact with other conspiracy theorists and conflicting evidence. But, to be fair, she is also very good at what she does! Coming across as a charismatic and composed speaker who makes very ugly claims sound like an entirely reasonable conversation.But then there are the questions... Why do witnesses remember different things? Why was ten inches of soil removed rather than eight? Did Charlie Kirk's necklace move before his jacket? But that's just the start; as is often the case we end up talking about Rothschilds, Freemasons, Denmons, and a public demonic ritual intended to channel spiritual energy into a surprising target. Shawn Ryan, who assures us repeatedly that he is an extremely sceptical person, is astonished at what he hears!And there's more to come too... in Part 2.Source materialShawn Ryan Show #318: Candace Owens, “I Don't Believe Tyler Robinson Was Even There”Candace Owens vs Andrew Wilson: The Great DebateShawn Ryan Show #254: Brian Harpole, Charlie Kirk's head of security60 Minutes: The Pager PlotDarkHorse: “Was Charlie Kirk Killed With a Drone?” with Viva Frei and Jimmy DoreCandace, episode 349: Corey Comperatore, Mark Liti, and the PETN claimsBrian Harpole's complaint against Candace Owens and others, filed 30 April 2026 (plaintiff's allegations, not court findings)Clare Malone, The New Yorker: “The Gospel of Candace Owens”Jesse Singal, New York: reporting on Social Autopsy and GamergateMariel Padilla, The 19th, via Capital B: “Candace Owens Has Won the Trust These Women Refuse to Give Politicians”Samantha Putterman, PolitiFact: Charlie Kirk conspiracy claims, one year later

Luke and Jae head to the world of 007 to revisit Casino Royale, the twenty first James Bond film from Eon Productions and the first to star Daniel Craig as the iconic MI6 agent. We break down Martin Campbell's franchise reboot, Craig's debut as Bond, Eva Green's unforgettable Vesper Lynd, Mads Mikkelsen's Le Chiffre and one of the series' most memorable poker games.
This week, Charles and Liv discuss Ian Fleming's For Your Eyes Only, Clarice Lispector's strange and brilliant The Hour of the Star, and why some books are better read like poetry.They also uncover John Steinbeck's unpublished werewolf novel and debate whether authors' work should ever be published against their wishes. Plus, they answer a listener question: what would you change about contemporary book culture? From endless “best books” lists to the pressure to read 100 books a year, Charles and Liv have a few complaints.Lit with Charles loves reviews. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be so grateful if you could leave a review of your own, and follow me on Instagram at @litwithcharles. Let's get more people listening – and reading!
It's another James Bond revisiting episode. This time Matt joins me to discuss Goldeneye and Die Another Day. We break the seal on a rare bottle (for me) from Wild Turkley called W.B. Saffell and we also try the Old Grand-Dad 114 Single Barrel.

Film noir expert Rachel Walther joins Michael Phillips to test a quote commonly attributed to Jean-Luc Godard. But whether it belongs to Godard, Howard Hawks, or someone else entirely, it points to a persistent question about what audiences really want from movies. From Gun Crazy and Double Indemnity to Jackie Brown, No Country for Old Men, and the James Bond franchise, they consider the enduring appeal of sex and danger and whether the famous formula still holds up more than a century after it was first proposed.

Strap in, preferably without requiring five rolls of duct tape, because Episode 101 starts with rock 'n' roll dreams and somehow ends up debating an island nobody wants featured in the tourism brochure.Lern is heading to AC/DC with her mom, the Foo Fighters are opening, and she has one very specific prediction: Dave Grohl is going to come back out and perform with AC/DC. Why? Inside information? A secret source? Years of carefully studying concert history? Nope. She had a dream about it. Welcome to the comedy podcast where subconscious visions are apparently acceptable journalism.With St. Louis preparing for the massive show, the crew gets into ticket prices, parking chaos and just how much people will spend to see legendary artists. That leads to the absolutely bonkers money surrounding Alan Jackson's farewell show and George Strait drawing more than 100,000 ticket-buying fans. Turns out being the King of Country is a pretty solid business model.Then we board an airplane, where everything immediately gets worse.The crew discovers the spectacular image of an unruly first-class passenger who reportedly became abusive toward people onboard and eventually got restrained by fellow passengers with zip ties and enough duct tape to make the hardware aisle nervous. The resulting photo is art. Horrible, chaotic, “how did your vacation get here?” art.Unfortunately, the airline conversation takes a much darker turn with the story surrounding longtime Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton. According to the details discussed on the show, another passenger noticed disturbing messages on his laptop during a flight, photographed the screen and alerted the crew. That kicks off a larger conversation about privacy on airplanes, whether anybody actually pays attention to what strangers are doing beside them and Rafe accidentally becoming emotionally invested in another passenger's giant-font family text drama.Then another disturbing story hits much closer to home as the show discusses the arrest of a St. Charles-area middle school assistant principal on a child sexual abuse material charge. The allegations lead into a serious conversation about predators, how technology may make them easier to uncover, whether these cases were historically hidden or handled differently, and the terrifying responsibility of keeping kids safe around adults placed in positions of trust.Naturally, because this is The Rizzuto Show and apparently we cannot process anything normally, the conversation eventually circles back to the previously discussed concept of “Pedophile Island”: convicted predators, one island, everybody else gets to stay very far away. Is this a carefully researched criminal justice proposal? Absolutely not. Is the brainstorming department nevertheless open for business? Unfortunately, yes.Crap on Celebrity then attempts to restore some sanity and immediately fails. Beyoncé has anniversary merchandise that includes a wildly expensive wooden box. Kelly Osbourne discusses the devastating effect losing Ozzy had on her health. Alex Van Halen and Sammy Hagar are still feuding because apparently retirement-age rock stars are contractually forbidden from simply muting each other. The crew also digs into Soundgarden working with unreleased Chris Cornell vocals and the emotional challenge of creating something new while protecting a friend's legacy.Moon remembers Every Time I Die guitarist and wrestler Andy Williams following his death, sharing personal memories of a guy he knew for years as an overwhelmingly positive force. Rafe also reflects on losing comedian Danny Maupin, turning the show briefly and genuinely reflective before everybody inevitably wanders back toward entertainment chaos.There's also talk about the Michael Jackson biopic, Pamela Anderson, an extremely bizarre-looking Elizabeth Holmes documentary involving Nathan Fielder, Rob Lowe's alleged Tom Cruise rivalry, the search for the next James Bond and Carrie Underwood attempting Limp Bizkit's “Break Stuff.”AC/DC. Foo Fighters. Duct tape. Airplane snooping. Celebrity insanity. Serious conversations, terrible solutions and several moments where everyone involved probably should have reconsidered owning a microphone.Just another comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show.Come for the St. Louis entertainment talk, stay because this comedy podcast has somehow turned “don't make the flight attendants get the duct tape” into legitimate travel advice.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
