John Morris Russell Talks Shaken Not Stirred Dan and Tom interview Maestro John Morris Russell (JMR) about his Chicago Symphony Orchestra concert, “Shaken Not Stirred,” musical scores, and James Bond music.  As you might have guessed, the concert's focus is the music of James Bond.   You may know JMR from his work as the conductor of the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra for the past 13 years.  Joining JMR in the concert is the amazing vocalist Capathia Jenkins. She possesses the wide vocal range needed to cover the various styles of singers from the James Bond catalog. We will be attending the concert and we're sure James Bond fans will enjoy this one.   In this episode, JMR talks about what to expect in this concert and how they put it together.  He also talks about his career, why he decided to conduct instead of play an instrument, some influential composers, and film scoring in general.  If you've ever wanted to know what a composer has to deal with in scoring a movie, JMR gives you a good idea.  It is really amazing how they do it. One other area we discuss is how technology has made composition more efficient.  Much is the same as it's been for hundreds of years.  But, some of it is streamlined today. Raymond Benson with an assist Dan and Tom wanted some expertise for this interview, so they asked Raymond Benson for an assist.  Of course, Raymond graciously agreed. Raymond helped us delve into other composers' works and JMR's experiences with them.  Plus, Raymond tells of a very scary experience he had with composer John Barry. What do you think? So, we're excited to be going to this concert and see John Morris Russell put what he told us into action.  We think this will be a good one.  Do you have plans to go to this concert?   If so, let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you thought of this episode by dropping us a note at info@spymovienavigator.com.  The more we hear from you, the better the show will be!  We'll give you a shout-out in a future episode!

Characters that do exist in the public domain include Count Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, Sherlock Holmes, and Robin Hood.  Studying the origins of these characters is fascinating. Take Robin Hood, for example – The first written mention of the heroic outlaw comes from the poem “The Vision of Piers Plowman” by William Langland, written in 1380. That's 593 years before Disney's classic adaptation of the story!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On today's show with GunBroker.com, we're talking with Cody from Walther, Dan Hood from GoWild, and Caleb from Commando Bond all about Walther and their connection to James Bond. We open up with Caleb telling us about his new book he is curating that tells the entire history of James Bond. This book will be a one stop shop for all things Bond, covering history from the novels all the way through cinema. His book will feature interviews with Bond authors, conversations with the brand behind Bond's tools, and have real world stories that are tied to the Bond firearms. Make sure to tune into this episode Sponsored by GunBroker.com to hear all about it and all about Bond's history with the Walther PPK. Next up Cody dives into Walther's perspective of the PPK being the “James Bond Gun”. Obviously one of the most recognizable firearms in cinema history it makes Cody's job in marketing a little bit easier for sure. He credits the success of the Bond franchise as one of the main reasons the PPK has had the shelf life longevity that it's had so far. We also dive into other firearms that James Bond has carried through the years including some of the firearms associated with Bond in novels. During the 1980's after an unsuccessful assassination attempt on Princess Anne when her bodyguard carried a PPK that unfortunately jammed, the Bond novels started seeing a mix of different firearms. We went through an FN 1910, a few HK models, and then on to the ASP 9MM for 15 novels. We speed up to the 1990's with the first American, Raymond Benson, writing for the James Bond novels. In his eyes the PPK was always attached to Bond and within the first chapter of Benson's first book the PPK was back in the hands of Bond where it belongs! Closing out we talk the most recent bond films and how they incorporate the PPK into the scenes. Caleb tells us his absolute favorite scene possibly ever in a Bond film that incorporates the PPK in the most perfect way possible!

Subscribe (Stitcher)Subscribe (iTunes) The Built to Crew explore the world of Metal Gear Solid, tracing the series from its MSX origins to its increasingly nonsensical conclusion. Metal Gear Solid, first released in 1998, is one of the biggest game franchises out of Japan. Its combination of stealth gameplay, cinematic presentation, and charismatic voice acting has lent this series a charm it would have had otherwise. As for all of its moments of brilliance, Metal Gear Solid often feels like a game about the American military made by a film director for a Japanese audience. Which is exactly what it is, in all of its glory.Metal Gear Solid so frequently crosses the line between camp, military fetishisation, and half-hearted attempts at meaning that its hard to make heads or tails of any one part of it. Yet, it's impossible to deny that it's entertaining. Metal Gear Solid is the kind of game that drives up to your house around 3 a.m. and screams, "Get inside!" without telling where it's going or why. You get in anyway, not because you trust the driver, but because your life was so boring up until this lunatic stopped by. In the next two episodes, we follow Metal Gear Solid from its beginning to its conclusion, andhow the game intersected with our lives and those who worked on it.    In Part 1: 1987-1998, we trace the origins of Metal Gear Solid and how it affected games as a whole: The history of Metal Gear on the MSX, and the rise of its designer Hideo Kojima (1:00-12:30) The localization efforts of Jeremy Blaustein, and his time working on Snatcher, Metal Gear Solid, and Blackmore's Bane (12:35 - 30:20) Metal Gear Solid's plot, development and legacy, digging at why it became so popular (30:30 - 46:10) The novelisation process with Raymond Benson, and how Snake became more like Kurt Russell in the novel (46:10 - 56:30) This post and the audio file have been updated to reflect a correction regarding Jeremy Blaustein's translation work on Metal Gear Solid. The erroneous statement has since been removed. We regret the error. THANKS TO THE FREE MUSIC ARCHIVE FOR THE FOLLOWING MUSIC.

On today's show, we talk to James Bond author Raymond Benson. In our first celebrity interview, we hear all about the process behind writing a Bond novel, from the research, to outlining the story. We hear the incredible story behind how Raymond got the job, the amazing travel stories and his friendship with a certain Mr. Hugh Hefner. Do not miss this episode!

Raymond Benson, author of six James Bond novels and the Black Stiletto series, talks to Daniel Ford and Sean Tuohy about spies and the Cold War, Jethro Tull, his writing process, and his eclectic career in the arts. Also, Writer's Bone contributor Stephanie Schaefer drops by to talk about her generation's lack of classy attire.

Doc shows up a bit tipsy sort of speak but he and Sam say the show must go on. The guys say goodbye to Cookie and Sam's friend, and unsung pioneer of Rock and Roll, Bobby Charles. He shall be missed. We listen to some calls to the comment line including one from Doc's childhood friend author Raymond Benson. Doc puts forth a valiant effort at reading the news and of course there is the usual stupid conversation. Call the comment line at (206) 309-7308 and visit insignificast.com. Thanks for listening.

In this special mini-episode, Ian and Adham take a break and hand over to Erin Bentley, who recently attended a panel on Ian Fleming by Bond author Raymond Benson at this year's Bouchercon World Mystery Convention. Of course, being For Your Ears Only, a mini-episode still goes over an hour, but the panel provides a great insight into the background of Fleming and the basis for his most famous literary creation.
