Gaming on the Go: How Snake revolutionized mobile gaming and the stress of high scores. The Business Phones: The shift to the "Boss Man" phones like the Nokia 6310i and the introduction of the E-Series.

EPISODE 143 - “GUESS WHO'S NUMBER ONE?: STEVE & NAN RANK TRACY/HEPBURN FILMS” - 6/08/2026 One of the most dynamic duos in film history is undoubtedly the teaming of SPENCER TRACY and KATHARINE HEPBURN. This chemistry was electric. Over the course of their careers, they appeared in nine films together — covering a wide range of genres. They were in everything from Westerns (“The Sea of Grass”) to film noirs (“Keeper of the Flame”) to what would become their specialty, romantic comedies (“Pat and Mike”). They also appeared in the seminal 1960s social comedy/drama “Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.” This week, Steve & Nan will do the impossible — they will attempt to rank the nine films this duo made together.

Iranian Christian Reveals: Why His People Are CELEBRATING the War | The Ideologees Ep. 21 IRAN IS HAPPY WITH THE WAR In this powerful episode, host mistermarkgee and co-host Roger Moore sit down with Vahid — an Iranian Christian,, and church minister now based in Luton — for one of the most important conversations we've had on this podcast. We cover:

Hammer Horror delivered one of its finest 1970s films with Blood from the Mummy's Tomb, despite a notoriously cursed production. This 1971 British release is the studio's fourth and final Mummy film, loosely adapted by Christopher Wicking from Bram Stoker's 1903 novel The Jewel of Seven Stars. Crucially, it remains the only entry in the franchise where a physical mummy never actually appears.The trouble began early when a gap in the studio schedule forced the film into premature production. Wicking wanted to keep Stoker's original book title, but James Carreras refused, leading to a brainstorming session that birthed Blood from the Mummy's Tomb – a title Wicking never expected them to use. Wicking also clashed with producer Howard Brandy and was barred from the set, forcing him to work with director Seth Holt secretly in the evenings. Brandy later claimed the script was unshootable and heavily rewritten by Holt. Brandy also wanted to cast Amy Grant, but Sir James Carreras insisted on Valerie Leon.Tragedy struck five weeks into the six-week shoot when Seth Holt suffered a fatal heart attack on set, collapsing into the arms of actor Aubrey Morris. Michael Carreras tried to recruit Don Sharp to finish the film, but Sharp was committed to a project in Israel. Michael Carreras ultimately directed the final week himself, later noting that Holt's footage did not cut together well, forcing them to salvage what they could.Valerie Leon shines in the dual roles of Margaret Fuchs and Queen Tera. Beyond her famous Hai Karate aftershave adverts and seven Carry On appearances – including Carry On Christmas: Carry On Stuffing – Leon delivered a critically praised performance but clashed with the studio. She was deeply upset when producers denied her time off to attend Holt's funeral, and her refusal to perform a nude scene required a body double. Hammer never hired her again. Her career later included roles alongside two different James Bonds, Roger Moore and Sean Connery.The supporting cast features incredible British character talent. James Villiers plays Corbeck, George Coulouris plays Berigan, and Aubrey Morris features as Doctor Putnum. Morris was described by Jeremy Brett to Noël Coward as the finest small-part player in London, boasting roles in The Wicker Man, A Clockwork Orange, and as the bubble-bathing B-Ark captain in The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Rosalie Crutchley plays Helen Dickerson. James Cossins brings his trademark blustering authority to the role of an abusive psychiatric nurse, and a young Anthony Head makes an uncredited appearance.Andrew Keir plays Julian Fuchs, stepping in after Peter Cushing completed just one day of filming before leaving due to his wife's emphysema diagnosis. Keir's presence links back to our Quatermass and the Pit reviews, Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D., and Cleopatra alongside Richard Burton. The film is elevated by a brilliant electronic score by Tristram Ogilvie Cary, the pioneer who founded EMS, created the VCS 3 synthesiser, and composed the music for the first Doctor Who Dalek serial.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

This week it's time for a real "Dad" movie. You know, the sort of flick your old man would veg out in front of the TV with on a Sunday afternoon. Strap in as Richard Burton, Richard Harris, and Roger Moore lead a ragtag crew of mercenaries in 1978's The Wild Geese. Toby Roan from the Hannibal 8 joins us for our main discussion, as well as some trivia and movie recommendations.

Glasgow lad Chris Currie — better known by his production and DJ alias Dubrovnik (UK) — returns to Avenue Red with a two-hour payload of precision deep, techy, hypnotic goodness. Expect shimmering splashes of melody and colour throughout, alongside plenty of dub-infused pressure in this earthy, tripped-out brew of tunes. This mix is partly in honour of Chris in his absence at this year's repeat summer daze event @ OverDraught in Levenshulme, south Manchester. Only one of the Glasgow Chrises (other one being Chris Curtis - in attendance!) could make it this time. But to warm us up? We have this ace mix that somehow evokes that moment in Alan Partridge's chat show where 007 chap Roger Moore couldn't quite make it to the show... got stuck near Chiswick Roundabout apparently. Awful, awful business... Dubrovnik (UK) is not visiting Croatia either... he's just playing at some prestigious golf tournament. But good luck to him, right?! Many of his own tracks: released and unreleased; are featured in this hyper-focused session of deep, insightful 4/4 musical engineering. Get it on. "An honour and privilege to support Avenue Red boss Alec on his global outreach of sharing quality music via this awesome platform!! Hope you enjoy the mix. Took it through the gears and condensed what would normally be an extended set into a 2-hour story from deep dubbyness to spacey bangness!"

Send us Fan MailThis week we take a look at two classic films to judge if the stand the test of time. The Wild Geese 1978 is based on a novel of the same name by Daniel Carney. It's a British war movie and reflects the tone of the times. Starring Richard Burton, Roger Moore, Richard Harris and a host of other familiar actors it follows a group of mercenaries as they attempt to free a political prisoner. Papillon 1973 stars Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman and is based on the memoirs of the same name by Henri Charriere. It follows the experiences of Papillon as he attempts to escape the brutal condition of the French Guiana prison he's been wrongfully sent to.Do these films hold up?

François Nadal est cascadeur et conseiller équestre pour le cinéma. On est en 1987, il a 59 ans et raconte sa carrière palpitante, avec plus de 150 films à son actif, de “Fanfan la Tulipe” à “Dangereusement vôtre”, un James Bond avec Roger Moore. A l'heure où il parle, François n'effectue plus les figures, mais continue d'accompagner les cinéastes dans la préparation des cascades. Aujourd'hui, le métier de cascadeur est menacé par l'utilisation des nouvelles technologies notamment l'IA, largement employées par les studios par souci d'économie et de sécurité. C'est le cas par exemple dans la série Game of Thrones ou les films Marvel.*** Crédits archive *** Extrait de l'émission radiophonique "Grand angle : Les cascadeurs" Réalisation : Danielle Fontanarosa - Production : Gérard Gromer - Première diffusion : 03/10/1987 - France Culture.***Crédits podcast Documentaliste : Anne Brulant - Textes : Lætitia Fourmond, Anouk Valverde - Restauration et mixage : Ian Debeerst, Quentin Geffroy - Enregistrement : Vincent Dupuis, Guillaume Solignat, Laurent Thomas - Voix off : Clara De Antoni - Musique(s) avec l'aimable autorisation d'Universal Production Music France - Chargée de production : Delphine Lambard - Cheffe de projet : Lætitia Fourmond - Chargée de projet : Anouk Valverde - Responsable éditoriale : Zoé Macheret - Un podcast INA.

Why the Black Community Must Give Blood for SICKLE CELL NOW ft. Astar (Hidden Pain Society) | The Edge 185 "One out of every 100 people in our community is fighting a battle you cannot see." In this urgent episode of The Edge on Affinity Xtra, Roger Moore sits down with gospel artist and founder of the Hidden Pain Society, Alidor Gaspar (Astar), to break the silence on the Sickle Cell crisis. Astar reveals the reality of living with a "full-blown" SS genotype, from receiving 12 bags of blood every six weeks to the unpredictable "tremors" of pain that can hit at any moment. We also address the devastating news regarding the Emergency Sickle Cell Day Unit at The Royal London Hospital and why we can no longer afford to "fight for scraps" when it comes to our health. In this interview, we discuss: What is Sickle Cell? Understanding the genetic disorder that turns round blood cells into "crescent shapes" that clog the body. The Transfusion Truth: Why Astar relies on 12 different donors every six weeks to survive—and why that blood needs to come from the Black community. The Hospital Crisis: The 6-month trial at Royal London Hospital (Whitechapel) and the funding issues threatening this vital lifeline. Breaking the Cycle: Why knowing your genotype is more important than knowing your blood type when starting a family. A Call to Action: How churches, leaders, and "ballers" can mobilize to set up group blood donation bookings.
On this special edition of the Roger Van Moorinho Show (recorded LIVE on Feb 19th), host Roger Moore is joined by co-hosts Anthony Young and Marx to tackle the systemic failure surrounding the Vini Jr. racism situation The team breaks down why the sports world seems to move on after 48 hours as if nothing happened. We discuss: The Impact Beyond Spain: Why the treatment of Vini Jr. directly affects black players in the UK and at the grassroots level. Media Silence: Why major outlets like the BBC often lack prominent coverage of these European incidents. Systemic Failure: Addressing the "virtue signaling" from organizations and the lack of real protection for players Our Message: This isn't about generalities; it's about the crime of abuse and the need for black voices to be taken seriously when they cry out for change.

In this episode of Sharp Talk, Mikey Spice and Roger Moore dive deep into the "inactivity of man" and why it's time for men to stop settling for the victim mentality. Roger shares his personal journey of transformation—from believing the gym was only for getting "buff" to realizing that physical discipline is the foundation for mental clarity and lifelong vitality. They break down the S.T.A.R. Methodology for identity shifts and why energy, not finance, is the most important currency you can own. Whether you're in your 30s or approaching 50, it's never too late to rebuild the warrior inside you. Key Topics in This Episode: The Escapism Trap: How social media, drinking, and food are being used to dodge real emotions. Identity Shift vs. Motivation: Why you need to stop being a "pencil" (easily erased) and start being a "marker" (permanent impact). The Strength Advantage: How Roger went from "mashing up" his hamstrings at 41 to playing open-age football at 50. Discipline Can't Be Bought: Why modern medicine and "cheat codes" can't replace the discipline you must earn. Community & Patterns: The importance of being around like-minded "doers" to prevent energy leakage. Ready to Reclaim Your Energy?

Episode 9 in the series brings us up to the 1973 film Live and Let Die. It's Roger Moore's first appearance as the MI6 agent, and it's also the first Bond movie to feature a rock song for the theme. The song was written by Paul and Linda McCartney, performed by Paul and his band Wings, and produced by George Martin. George Martin also ended up providing the score for the film. Our three hosts discuss how Paul McCartney and George Martin became a part of the 007 universe as well as what led erstwhile Bond composer John Barry to be uninvolved with the franchise's eighth film. The trio talk about the chart success of the theme song as well as the other awards and accolades it received. George Martin's score is discussed, with some speculation over how John Barry would have done with the score for this film that covers some different thematic territory than other Bond movies. While discussing the movie, Robbie, Brian, and Sarah also talk about the fact that the theme song is performed in the film, and Brian has an impromptu trivia session with Robbie and Sarah about Bond theme songs being heard during other Bond movies. And of course, each host reveals where "Live and Let Dies" falls in their personal ranking of Bond themes. There's talk about the current state of affairs in the Bond universe, and Robbie is put to the test again with a series of Bond trivia questions. And Brian and Sarah talk about their encounter with Solitaire! It's an episode full of excitement, fun, and laughs that you won't want to miss!

fWotD Episode 3249: Octopussy and The Living Daylights Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 28 March 2026, is Octopussy and The Living Daylights.Octopussy and The Living Daylights (sometimes published as Octopussy) is the fourteenth and final James Bond book written by Ian Fleming. The book is a collection of short stories published in the United Kingdom by Jonathan Cape on 23 June 1966, after Fleming's death in August 1964.The book originally contained two stories, "Octopussy" and "The Living Daylights"; subsequent editions also included "The Property of a Lady" and then "007 in New York". The stories first appeared in different publications: "Octopussy" was serialised in the Daily Express in October 1965; "The Living Daylights" appeared in The Sunday Times colour supplement on 4 February 1962; "The Property of a Lady" was commissioned by Sotheby's for the 1963 edition of their journal, The Ivory Hammer; and "007 in New York" appeared in the New York Herald Tribune in October 1963.Many of the elements of the stories are from Fleming's own interests and experiences, including climbing in Kitzbühel, Austria, wartime commando deeds and the sea-life of Jamaica. He used the names of friends and acquaintances for characters within the stories and also used a recipe for scrambled eggs given to him by a friend.The two original stories, "Octopussy" and "The Living Daylights", were adapted for publication in comic strip format in the Daily Express in 1966–1967. Elements from the stories have also been used in the Eon Productions Bond films. Octopussy, starring Roger Moore as James Bond, was released in 1983 as the thirteenth film in the series and Fleming's story provided the background for the character Octopussy; "The Property of a Lady" was closely adapted for an auction sequence in the film. The Living Daylights, released in 1987, is the fifteenth Bond film produced by Eon and stars Timothy Dalton in his first appearance as Bond. "007 in New York" provided character and plot elements for the first two films starring Daniel Craig as Bond, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:02 UTC on Saturday, 28 March 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Octopussy and The Living Daylights on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Kendra.
Every once in a while, a loophole in time, space, and copyright law opens and spits out an object straight out of bizarro world. The summer of '83 gave us an “official” James Bond film starring the well past-his-prime Roger Moore, and the fall of '83 answered with NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN - an apostate remake of THUNDERBALL directed by the man who gave us THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and starring none other than Roger Moore's also well past-his-prime predecessor Sean Connery! What could possibly go wrong? Uh… a lot. Thrill to spine-tingling scenes of an aging superspy taking herbal treatments at a health spa! Marvel at the cringy romantic subplot with a way-too-youthful Kim Basinger! Gasp at the gravity defying athleticism of Sean Connery's toupee! Of course, it's not all bad news… turns out our old man Bond still has plenty of fuel left in the tank, and he is joined by the amazingly unhinged femme fatale Fatima Blush as played by the scenery-devouring Barbara Carrera, the Swedish sensation Max Von Sydow as the kitty-stroking supervillain Ernst Stavro Blofeld, and Bernie Casey as the Felix Leiter we all wish had gotten his own spinoff! It's James Bond as you have never seen him before! Actually, it's pretty much exactly as you have seen him before - but Paul, Javi, and their spymaster, Producer Brad love this franchise for all of its flaws, so dim the lights and chill the Geritol, because the Multiplex Overthruster crew will never… ever… say never again!Show Notes:Theatrical release date: October 7, 1983Janet Maslin NYT reviewRoger Ebert's reviewTheme music by Mike McGuillAdditional voicework by Russell BentleyFollow us!InstagramBlueskyemail: Multiplexoverthruster@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

On this episode, Austin and Tim have another stowaway on board, this time it's Austin's friend Patricia, making her watch 7 movies that she probably never would have watched if she didn't sneak on board the time machine. She had to endure: a silly martial arts flick Force:Five, Alan Alda's directorial debut The Four Seasons, a horror film starring Albert Finney Wolfen, Brian De Palma's Blow Out, Zorro The Gay Blade, Ringo Starr in Caveman, and Roger Moore as James Bond in For Your Eyes Only. Check out our biggest and longest episode yet!
A View to a Kill (1985) was chosen by Chris, and it marked a significant transitional moment for the long-running James Bond franchise. Produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson and directed by John Glen, the film was developed during a period when the series was balancing its established formula with the shifting tone of mid-1980s blockbuster cinema. With a reported budget of around $30 million, the production aimed to deliver classic Bond spectacle while maintaining the polished globe-trotting style audiences expected. Notably, the film became Roger Moore's seventh and final appearance as 007, closing out the longest tenure of any Bond actor at the time.Principal photography took place across multiple international locations including France, the United Kingdom, and the United States, reflecting the franchise's continued commitment to large-scale, location-driven filmmaking. The production also leaned heavily into contemporary 1980s culture, most famously through its theme song performed by Duran Duran, which became one of the most commercially successful Bond themes ever released. Upon release, the film performed strongly at the global box office despite mixed critical reception. In the decades since, A View to a Kill has remained a notable entry in the Bond canon, often discussed both for its place at the end of the Roger Moore era and for its distinctly mid-80s tone and style.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISOne agent. One mission. And a threat that could change the balance of power forever.When a ruthless new enemy emerges with ambitions that stretch far beyond ordinary crime, Britain's most dangerous operative is called back into action. From high-stakes chases to globe-spanning danger, the mission will push him to the limit like never before.A View to a Kill — the name's Bond… and the clock is ticking.FUN FACTSA View to a Kill features the only James Bond theme song to reach No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100, thanks to Duran Duran.At age 57 during filming, Roger Moore was the oldest actor to portray James Bond in an official Eon production.The film includes scenes shot at the Eiffel Tower, marking one of Bond's most memorable European set pieces.Christopher Walken became the first Academy Award winner to play a Bond villain in the official series.The movie was one of the highest-grossing films of 1985 worldwide, despite divided critical reviews.Grace Jones performed many of her own physical stunts, reinforcing her formidable on-screen presence.The title comes from an Ian Fleming short story, though the film's plot is largely original.This was the final Bond film produced entirely during the Cold War era, before the franchise shifted tone in later entries.The movie's San Francisco material has become particularly iconic among Bond location fans.Despite mixed reviews, the film maintains a strong nostalgia following among 1980s Bond audiences.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.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.

PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI discovers THE PERSUADERS!First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on March 1st 2026.This week PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI himself, is back yet again, to discuss a show that rather neatly complements his most recent appearance on VISION ON SOUND where he wanted to talk about the humour of THE AVENGERS. This led him to finally try out an early 1970s TV show which you might be surprised to find he had never actually seen before, which to many of its fans perhaps represents the very pinnacle of the ITC adventure series, the high-budget, high-glamour, glossy series THE PERSUADERS! which starred ROGER MOORE as LORD BRETT SINCLAIR and TONY CURTIS as DANNY WILDE, a pair of rich, womanising international playboys who were recruited by JUDGE FULTON to redirect their wastrel energies into the pursuit of justice and the righting of criminal wrongs across 24 action-packed episodes, first broadcast in autumn 1971 and which, by coming across as being the kind of must-see television that also filtered through into comics and other media managed to make an indelible impact on the children and parents of several nations.And whilst those 24 episodes might not seem all that many, these programmes had all the quality to match the feature films of the time and all looked rather fantastic, meaning that the series, whilst not becoming the huge American hit its producers were hoping for, was still nevertheless, an enormous success across Europe.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.
Welcome back for another edition of James Bonding! This week the guys will dive deep into Roger Moore's final outing as 007 as they review 1985's A View To A Kill. Does Sir Roger Moor go out on a high note, or with a whimper? Tune in to find out!
This week Matt joins me to chat about Timothy Daltons first James Bond outing, "The Living Daylights". Now that i've seen all the Bond films and I've had some time apart, I wanted to revisit this one to see if my opinion on it has changed. Is this a top 10 Bond film for me now? I also get matts perspective on it as someone seeing it for the first time, and someone who has never seen any of the Roger Moore films that precede it.Since it was Valentines week when we recorded this I thought it would be nice to try a wine finished whiskey. Enter Nelson Brothers Mouvedre cask.From their site "Nelson Brothers Mourvèdre Cask brings a piece of the Sierra Foothills of California down to Nelson's Green Brier Distillery in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee. Southern grain meets Northern California grapes thanks to this partnership with Withers Winery out of Sonoma County. Known to appeal to richer wine drinkers, Mourvedre brings notes of dark plum and cracked peppercorns to every bottle. The bourbon touts notes of cherry cobbler, almond, sweet mint and honey."

Bond. James Bond is back as he is assigned to locate a missing British vessel with a weapon encryption device and find it before it falls into enemy hands. Roger Moore is the most famous secret agent of all time as he stars in the classic For Your Eyes Only! We discuss some news this week as well, things we watched including WWE Royal Rumble and more and next week's episode preview, Road To Perdition!
Things have been a bit full on lately, so let's all just calm down and retreat to Paul's Book Nook, where he stores the finest charity shop tomes. There's been a bit of “behind the scenes” drama brewing with a few of the CheapShow Characters, so Eli is more than happy to wander down to his co-host's cosy chamber to read a few books by the fireside. Gannon's found a load of interesting books to show off and can't wait to do so. It starts with a bit of a Fortean trip as the cheap chaps dive into the pages of “World Famous Weird News Stories”, then they talk too long about the various Red Dwarf publications that came out of the 1990s and finally discuss if the “Roger Moore & The Crimefighters” book can be sued for false advertising! As the nights remain cold, why not wrap up warm in the CheapShow Book Nook!?

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! —the podcast where we resurrect cinema's most infamous box office disasters and ask the burning question: was it really that bad? We're celebrating five years of cinematic redemption.For the month of January, Not A Bomb asks a very important cinematic question: what happens when actors decide that being in front of the camera just isn't enough and take a shot at directing themselves? Troy and Brad are “kicking” things off with The Quest, the 1996 martial‑arts adventure film both directed by — and starring — the Muscles from Brussels himself, Jean‑Claude Van Damme.Upon release, The Quest didn't exactly spin‑kick its way into critics' hearts. Reviews were mixed at best, with many calling it a reheated blend of better tournament movies and a vanity project that proved JCVD might be more comfortable throwing roundhouses than calling “action.” Financially, the film limped across the finish line, earning modest box office returns that fell far short of Van Damme's earlier hits. In short: not a total disaster, but definitely not the triumphant directorial debut he probably envisioned.One part Bloodsport, one part Street Fighter, one part Enter the Dragon, and all parts dumb, The Quest might be the perfect argument for actors to stay in their lanes. But hey — it does feature plenty of sweaty, oily dudes kicking each other in the face. Is that enough to win Troy and Brad over?Only one way to find out — listen now!The Quest is directed by Jean-Claude Van Damme and stars Jean-Claude Van Damme, Roger Moore, James Remar, Janet Gunn, Jack McGee, Aki Aleong, and Louis Mandylor.

Compliments of the season to you from the At The Flicks crew. If you are like us, then you will be watching at least one James Bond film this Christmas. Goldfinger, You Only Live Twice and Live And Let Die are choices very popular with this team. All classics. However, with James Bond somewhat cold at present and Amazon seemingly muddling through with the franchise, we have to ask the question – is the age of James Bond as we know it, over? And that is the subject of the At The Flicks Christmas lecture for this year. It's a weighty subject, so we have to call on an expert to help address this question. Bond fan Niall Browne from Movies In Focus joins Jeff and Graham to discuss how did we get here and Amazon's current handling of the James Bond legacy (clue, it's not off to a good start). Of course, a screenwriter and director have been allocated to a new Bond project. We talk about both and assess if they are the right people for the job or is Amazon “front loading” with talent over ideas? Being life long James Bond aficionados, we also offer some advice on what could or should be next for the superspy – that is, we talk about what we would like to see. Also, we consider the right attributes for the next actor to play James Bond, and of course, like everyone else, we throw in some names. Some of which may be controversial. So, before you settle down with your Christmas Pud (British reference there) to watch Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan or Daniel Craig, why not give us a listen? And if you have ideas about Bond which are not being talked about, please let us know for a possible future follow up show as I am sure the James Bond story is going to change a lot during 2026. Until then, have a great Christmas. We will be back at year's end to share our top films of the year with you. Links Goldfinger Trailer
