Palin, Chalmers, Livingstone… Robins(?!). Yes, gliding into the show today is one of Britain's greatest travellers. An adventurer unequalled in the 21st century. Because John has been on his once per 9 months short haul trip. Naples has experienced Robins, and he it. With such pizza consumption and the undoubted oscillation between ‘hungry' and ‘full', Elis struggles to believe that he can actually have been a laugh there.But filled with more pies than than all the ninja turtles combined, Robins has a pep in his step for what proves to be a Billy Belter of a show. The boys dig into the practicalities of 007 if he flew Ryanair and there's a classic double whammy of a Shame.Plus, there's something new bursting through the pipes. No it's not potable tap water or natural gas, but something far more important to John's existence: wins.Want to drop us a line?

This week we are adding another member to the crew and breaking into old women's houses while we discuss The Lone Gunmen episodes “Bond, Jimmy Bond” and “Eine Kleine Frohike”! We're talking the ongoing motif of humiliating poor Tom Braidwood, whether or not Yves has a fake British accent, how much we love the evil henchman Mr. Luscious Lips and his signature move of kissing each bullet he shoots, how Langly has no idea how to clean anything, and say hello to Jimmy Bond. We are on the hunt for a secret Nazi baby, wonder where they got the funds or technology for the Mission Impossible masks, mourn the lack of a makeover montage, wonder if Mr. Luscious Lips disappears in a cloud of cologne, and wonder whether it's funny to stare at an old woman's ass. And wise words to remember: Never look a gift himbo in the abs.Note: We goofed up the audio this week, and so unfortunately it sounds like we're recording from a very deep well. Sorry about that, and back to the crisp audio you love next week!Send us an email at scullynationpod@gmail.com or follow us on Twitter and Instagram!

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!

Patrick & Marco haben die Lizenz zum Plaudern und nutzen diese, um über den berühmtesten britischen #Geheimagenten der westlichen #Welt zu reden. Sie sprechen über die filmischen Umsetzungen, die ihnen am besten gefallen haben, die Idee eines Geheimagenten mit der #Lizenz_zum_Töten und die Frage, ob das #Franchise für weitere #Blockbuster-Filme gerettet werden kann. Bei der #Parodie "Casino Royale", die Marco am Anfang der Episode anspricht, handelt es sich nicht, wie irrtümlich angenommen, um den Film von 1957 mit Barry Nelson in der Hauptrolle als James Bond, der übrigens auf YouTube in der Originalfassung zu sehen ist, sondern um den Film von 1967 mit David Niven in der Hauptrolle als James Bond und Woody Allen als Jimmy Bond, der 1980 in der #ARD ausgestrahlt wurde. Die beiden Songs „Searching for meaning in the dead of the night“ & „Bond, the fallen star“ werden von Lene gesungen. #Ian_Flemming #James_Bond #007 #Sean_Connery #Roger_Moore #George_Lanzenby #Timothy_Dalton #Pierce_Brosnan #Daniel_Craig #Linzenz_zum_Töten #007 # #Podhast auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/invites/contact/?i=18tgchwjaejdu&utm_content=fqm8vr1

C'est avec le contrebassiste Jimmy Bond et le batteur Albert “Tootie” Heath que Nina Simone franchit pour la première fois la porte d'un studio pour graver son tout premier album, en 1957. Un disque à l'histoire contratriée et passionnante qui ressort aujourd'hui dans sa version d'origine !

First, it only lasted 19 weeks but 1975's Musical Chairs was a landmark television program, as it was the first game show with an African-American emcee, in Adam Wade.  It also had a fun theme song, a great cast of guests, and the cushy time slot after Match Game 75.  It was also recorded at The Ed Sullivan Theater!   Next, one of the most brilliant things on TV in the last decade and one of the most bizarre, Too Many Cooks aired in the dead of night on Adult Swim.  Within days, it was viral and repeated often.  We offer a live commentary while watching the show and get into details about some of the production, and what happened to some of the actors and actresses.   Finally, the 25th James Bond cinematic release hit theaters recently.  But would you believe there was a James Bond, er, Jimmy Bond to grace the small screen before Sean Connery?  In 1954, the CBS anthology series Climax! had an episode based on the Ian Fleming work Casino Royale.   Follow us at our socials Facebook: @itwasathingontvpodcast Instagram/Twitter @itwasathingontv   And send us an e-mail to itwasathingontv@gmail.com

The man is known for his vodka martinis - shaken not stirred - but everyone's favorite super spy was so much more than a signature cocktail. In the podcast, we crawl through James Bond's tortured liver to discuss his cocktails, whisky, champagne and brandy. In addition, the proper way to outfit your lifeboat if love is in the air, and how you too can sound like Jimmy B at the bar with a little practice.  

Recently, the 25th James Bond cinematic release hit theaters.  But would you believe there was a James Bond, er, Jimmy Bond to grace the small screen before Sean Connery?  In 1954, the CBS anthology series Climax! had an episode based on the Ian Fleming work Casino Royale.

James Bond A-Z hosts Tom Butler, Brendan Duffy, and Tom Wheatley take a deep dive into the murky world of 1967's 'Casino Royale'. The farcical comedy which starred David Niven, Peter Sellers, Woody Allen, Orson Welles and a host of other stars who should have known better, is a blot on the history books of 007, and is not considered canon by fans. But the complicated journey of Charles K Feldman's disastrous adaptation of Ian Fleming's debut James Bond novel offers a tantalising glimpse and how badly things could have gone had Eon not acquired the rights for the rest of Fleming's books. This episode covers everything from Barry Nelson as Jimmy Bond in the TV version of 'Casino Royale', the early 'straight' drafts of the script by Ben Hecht, Joseph Heller and more, the film's tortured production with its fistfights, tantrums, and ballooning budgets, right up the film's release.

This is the third Jazz Feature on underrated and under recorded trumpeters. Boston born Joe Gordon started young and worked with Georgie Auld, locals Charlie Mariano, Jaki Byard and toured with Lionel Hampton. He was also first call when Charlie Parker played in Boston. Gordon moved to New York in 1954 and worked and recorded with Art Blakey and joined Dizzy Gillespie's big band and toured the Middle East and recorded with Dizzy. He also played with pianist Horace Silver then seemed to disappear. He emerged in L.A. in 1959 and became first call Jazz trumpeter and worked with Harold Land, Wes Montgomery and recorded with Thelonious Monk. Joe's real fame came when he joined drummer Shelly Mann'e Quintet and toured Europe and recorded many albums. Shelly's Quintet was one of the great groups in Jazz history. Tonight's album was done in 1961 and was only Joe's second under his name however it not only featured his crackling and fiery trumpet but 8 of his compositions He appears here with alto saxophonist Jimmy Woods making his recording debut. Dick Whittington is on piano, Jimmy Bond on bass and the swingin' Milt Turner on drums. "Lookin' Good!" was Joe's last recording as he died in a house fire in November of 1963 at age 35. Check out Joe Gordon tonight, you'll be glad you did!

The last of our obscure, underrated and under recorded exponents of the alto saxophone makes an appearance tonight. Earl Anderza is perhaps the most mysterious. Due to an unfortunate personal life from foster homes to reform school to jail terms Anderza was little known or heard. He was born in Los Angeles in 1933 and died in 1982 in Chicago before his 50th birthday. Somewhere along the line he learned the clarinet and alto saxophone. He was a boyhood friend of Eric Dolphy's and they both studied with the great teacher Lloyd Reece. Earl Anderza only made one recording under his name and it was his first and last. He was heard at a session on one of his releases from jail by Richard Bock, the head of World Pacific Records who was impressed by Earl and made this recording. Earl picked the great pianist Jack Wilson, bassists George Morrow (who is on most tracks) and Jimmy Bond, who plays on a couple. The drummer is the swingin' Donald Dean. There are 3 tunes by Earl and the title track is by Jack Wilson. The rest are known quality standards. This is a fine portrait of a musician who had the potential to be great but his life style held him back from success. Outa Sight! is all we have and we should be happy with this small sample. Check Earl Anderza out!

This month of October The Jazz Show presents as our Jazz Features lesser known or obscure exponents of the alto saxophone. All of these players are well worth hearing and if you've never heard of most of them it's because in the majority of cases they recorded little or were on the Jazz scene briefly. In the case of tonight's artist Jimmy Woods, he only recorded two albums under his own name and we are presenting his first and his debut date. It's a real showcase for his talent and his individual approach to the alto. Jimmy has an adventurous concept and a beautiful haunting hollow sound from his horn. He is also a fine composer too. This album is in two different sessions, the first with either Martin Banks or Joe Gordon on trumpet with Jimmy out front and a fine rhythm section with Amos Trice on piano, Jimmy Bond on bass and Milton Turner on drums. The second is Jimmy alone with Dick Whittington on piano, Gary Peacock on bass and Turner on drums. Jimmy disappeared from the Jazz scene in the mid 60s and although he was born in St Louis on Oct.29,1934 his whereabouts are unknown. "Awakening!" is a masterful debut album and should have catapulted Jimmy Woods to a long career in music but didn't. It's a listening treat.

And a new chapter begins. This week we start our look at the greatest secret agent in film history. Since his big screen debut in 1962 Bond has been an institution, setting the bar for spy thriller and becoming a cultural icon in the process.   This week we actually look at two versions of Bond. The first being this....     This piece of absolute garbage introduced CIA agent Jimmy Bond, the midwest Wisconsin tire salesman of the year. It's hard to put into words how bad it is, so check it out. We also discuss the greatest technical advisor who ever lived, slow moving quickdraw artist Geoffrey Boothroy,     There is a lot to digest here. But it should be noted, that both of these videos are more interesting than Dr. No.   Evidently, the world was once a very boring place and the idea of strolling along a beach, or walking through a hotel lobby or an airport were considered the height of adventure. That's the only way to explain how this (adjusted for inflation) 8 million dollar movie was able to make (adjusted for inflation) 459 million dollars. Make no mistake, Dr. No is a boring film, but what can you do, it's Bond.   So join us as we marvel at how damned attractive young Sean Connery was in this introduction to the worlds most famous secret agent.     Don't worry, The Film Thugs will return next week wtih... Spectre.

The was the debut recording of a very distinctive and unfortunately obscure West Coast alto saxophonist named Jimmy Woods. Jimmy only made two dates under his name and this was his first. Jimmy possessed not only a unique sound on the alto but a unique style as well and beholden to no one. His career unfortunately never took off and he dropped out of music in the mid-60s to pursue a job in social work. This date shows his promise and was done with two different groups. The first session and the first tune has Jimmy alone with the rhythm section on a standard entitled "Circus" then he is joined on two originals by trumpeter Martin Banks then on one more original with trumpeter Joe Gordon replacing Banks then the two trumpeters join Woods for Cole Porter's "Love For Sale".. The other players are, Amos Trice on piano, Jimmy Bond on bass and Milton Turner on drums. The second session has Woods as the only horn with Dick Whittington on piano, Gary Peacock on bass and Milton Turner on drums and contains 3 Woods' originals. This is a fine debut recording and should have pushed Jimmy Woods to the forefront of alto saxophonists...it didn't and he was relegated to undeserved obscurity. This date is worth your ears!

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!

Holy crap, games! Time to get serious as only the NQ Crew can as we talk about vroom vroom games like Forza Horizon, Need For Speed Most Wanted and Ridge Racer Unbounded, games for AMERICA like Assassins Creed 3, and then some games featuring everyone's favorite womanizing secret agent, Jimmy Bond. HOLY CRAP GAMES!! NQcast43 … Continue reading "NQcast43 – Optional Kudos and Socks" The post NQcast43 – Optional Kudos and Socks first appeared on No Quarters dot Net | A MFVGP.

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!

After the longest hiatus in the history of the James Bond flm franchise, Bond is back and now portrayed by former Remington Steele actor Pierce Brosnan. In a post-Cold War era, can Bond remain relevant to modern audiences? Listen to Arnie, Stuart, and Brock's review to find out!

Dalton is Bond, but no longer 007 when his License to Kill is revoked! When a drug lord goes after Bond's friend, the spy will stop at nothing for revenge. It's a Bond for the 80's, but does it hold up in the 21st century? Listen to Brock, Arnie, and Stuart's review to find out!

With Roger Moore retiring as James Bond the mantle was passed to British actor Timothy Dalton. Portraying a more modern version of 007, Dalton's Bond had a harder edge and a more action movie feel. Is The Living Daylights the living end for Arnie, Stuart, and Brock? Listen to their review to find out!

In 1985 Roger Moore set two records--at 57 years old he was the oldest actor to portray James Bond, and with A View to a Kill his seventh Bond film he played Bond in the official films more times than any other actor to date. A View to a Kill would be his last film as James Bond, but with Christopher Walken as villian Max Zorin, Grace Jones as Zorin's goon May Day, and a rocking theme by 80's rockers Duran Duran, is Moore's last Bond film worth a view, or a kill? Listen to find out!

You Only Live Twice declared "Sean Connery IS James Bond"...and then Connery quit and Roger Moore was James Bond. But due to legal wrangling a competing James Bond film was released in 1983 and once more Sean Connery WAS James Bond. Is this the long awaited return of the true James Bond, or a desperate cash grab? Listen to find out!

After For Your Eyes Only many people thought Roger Moore's Bond was at an All Time High, and with the impending revival of Sean Connery as a competing James Bond Eon was sure to bring back Moore as their golden gun for another adventure. This time Bond must team up with a group of smugglers to stop a crazed Russian general from taking over the world. Does Bond's clowning around work for Arnie, Stuart, and Brock? Listen to find out!

After an out of this world adventure, Bond faced a more grounded foe in 1981's For Your Eyes Only. A British spy boat is sunk and Bond must get to its missile control system before the Russians do, but his quest is stymied by crime boss Aris Kristatos. Is the quality of this film as high as Kristatos' mountaintop fortress? Listen to Arnie, Stuart, and Brock's review to find out!

James Bond has traveled the world in name of Queen and country, but for his eleventh official movie he has to go where no MI6 agent has gone before--outer space! In Moonraker Bond goes up against space shuttle manufacturer Hugo Drax and stop his plan to kill most life on Earth and breed a new master race. With a return of Bond baddie Jaws, a laser gun battle, and CIA agent Holly Goodhead, Moonraker is one of the most polarizing entries in the Bond franchise. Will it achieve liftoff with Arnie, Stuart, and Brock, or does it crash and burn? Listen to find out!

When both British and Russian nuclear subs disappear, 007 must team up with Soviet Agent Triple X to investigate. But when X discovers Bond killed her lover, things get more complicated. Can they work as partners to stop aquatic anarchist Karl Stromberg? And is this movie, directed by Lewis Gilbert, as good as his previous Bond--You Only Live Twice? Listen to Stuart, Brock, and Arnie's review to find out!

For Roger Moore's second Bond film every attempt was made to recapture the magic of Goldfinger. With the return of Goldfinger's director Guy Hamilton, another character carrying a golden pistol, and a plot full of twists and turns, it certainly seems like all the right ingredients were brought together. Add in classic Hammer horror icon Christopher Lee as a master assassin aided by diminutive aide Nick Nack, did this film live up to Bond's gold standard? Listen to Stuart, Arnie, and Brock to find out!

They tried replacing Sean Connery once and failed. But with Connery's determination to move his career beyond Bond, United Artists had to once again recast the British spy. With the adaptation of Ian Flemming's second James Bond novel, Live and Let Die, English actor Roger Moore stepped into the tuxedo. Moore was already familiar with playing a spy, having played Simon Templar on television's The Saint for eight years, and Moore continued that success becoming the longest-serving James Bond actor, holding the role for twelve years. Now Brock, Stuart, and Arnie review Moore's first Bond film as he travels to America to investigate a drug lord from the Bahamas. Did this voodoo-themed adventure cast a spell on the Now Playing hosts? Listen to find out!

Never Say Never Again isn't the only time Connery played Bond after leaving the role. After George Lazenby's one outing, United Artists decided to take Bond back to its original formula, bringing back the director, the writer, and the star of Goldfinger for one last Bond adventure. It's Connery's last official appearance as 007, facing off one last time against SMERSH and Blofeld. Which is better, Diamonds or Gold? Listen to Stuart, Brock, and Arnie to find out!

James Bond is back, but Sean Connery isn't. Instead, wearing the tuxedo and tossing the hat, is George Lazenby, an actor who would play Bond only once. Lazenby was long a punch line for the Bond franchise, but some Bond fans consider this film one of the best. Does Lazenby escape Connery's shadow, and should he have had a second shot playing the British agent? Listen to this episode of Now Playing and find out!

The poster boasted "Sean Connery IS James Bond", and yet You Only Live Twice was released with Eon Productions looking for a replacement actor as Connery had announced he was leaving the role of Bond. But for his supposed final film all stops were pulled out as he finally comes face-to-scarred-face with Blofeld, head of the evil group SPECTRE. Is this a film that you should watch twice? Listen to Brock, Stuart, and Arnie's review to find out!
