Podcast appearances and mentions of Roger Moore

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.

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'! Check out Shogun Films: https://www.shogunfilms.com/This podcast's Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/britishculture Support the showhttps://www.albionneverdies.com/

WE ARE BACK!

Tragedy in Birmingham: The Baptism Manslaughter Case | 7Sharp with Blu & Roger Moore   Welcome back to 7Sharp! After a short hiatus, Blu and Roger Moore are back to cut through the noise.   In this episode, we tackle a heavy story hitting close to home in Birmingham—a tragic baptism in Erdington that has led to a manslaughter case against a local pastor. We discuss the "duty of care" in spiritual spaces and why professional standards shouldn't stop at the church doors.   Then, things get a bit lighter (but no less heated) as we dive into a "Cheating or Not?" debate. Is accepting a drink from a stranger crossing the line? Is giving out your Instagram just "business," or are you setting yourself up for the kill?   #7Sharp #BluAndRogerMoore #BirminghamNews #ChurchAccountability #RelationshipDebate #IsItCheating #BrumTown #FaithAndCulture   https://youtu.be/-J6bqLHgyvQ

“You're worth more dead than alive!”We've talked a lot about Steptoe & Son – and its principle artistes – recently on Goon Pod and the sister show so it feels appropriate this week to air this interesting chat.It is July 1973 and the second feature film based on the hit BBCTV sitcom about a pair of rag-and-bone-men has just come out. Unfortunately its release coincides with a much more popular film in the shape of Roger Moore's maiden Bond outing Live And Let Die and most people go to see that instead. Although Steptoe & Son Ride Again worked better than the first film, as it anchored the characters in familiar territory, it did badly where the first had done well. Co-writer Alan Simpson said “I suspect the majority of people hadn't liked the first one so didn't go back for the second, which is a shame.” When their aging horse Hercules has to be put out to pasture,father-and-son totters Albert and Harold Steptoe face galloping financial calamity. Falling in with Frankie Barrow, the ‘Godfather of Shepherd's Bush', Harold foolishly buys a greyhound, hoping ‘Hercules II' will be the answer totheir pecuniary woes… only to discover the dog is extremely short-sighted and useless for racing. With money owing to Barrow Harold hits on a scheme which if pulled off would get Frankie off his back but would require him and his father to start a new life where nobody knows them (“I could be Harry Faversham”): they will fake Albert's death and claim his life-insurance money. From this fairly simple premise comes great comedy and some marvellous character work, not least from the two leads, Wilfrid Brambell and Harry H. Corbett. They are ably supported by a cast which includes Milo O'Shea as a brandy-ridden sawbones, Henry Woolf as Frankie, Yootha Joyce as Harold's Auntie Freda, Frank Thornton, Bill Maynard, Neil McCarthy, Richard Davies and, memorably, Diana Dors as a recently-widowed housewife wanting a bit of the other from a frankly terrified Harold.Joining Tyler are Michael Livesley & Paul Carmichael, and while discussing the film the three regularly meander down conversational alleyways, chatting about the lost art of home taping, antiquated or regional profanities, the history of Live TV, the great British tradition of innuendo, and boomer nostalgia, while referencing the likes of One Foot In The Grave, The Goodies, Married With Children and even Bottle Boys! Plus they talk about their great love for the Steptoe TV series, the actors involved and even envisage Wilfrid Brambell squaring up to Frank Zappa!This was recorded in October 2025 and originally put out as part of Goon Pod Film Club: Patreon.com/GoonPod

Love In Action Ep 15 | Why Racism is a Sin & The Power of Pentecostal Unity We are back in the studio for another heavy, unfiltered episode of Love In Action. Despite coming from different eras and distinct backgrounds, hosts Rico Fogarty and Roger Moore find common ground in their shared faith and culture as they tackle one of the most persistent evils of our time: systemic racism and prejudice. In this episode, Roger and Rico challenge the global Christian community to move past superficial unity and look at what Love in Action truly means. Rooted in the foundational command to "love your neighbour as yourself," they break down why racism is fundamentally a sin that violates the Imago Dei (the Image of God) in every human being. From outrageous modern headlines—including a French senator's derogatory remarks about footballer Kylian Mbappé and xenophobic football fan behavior during the World Cup—to the raw personal stories of what their fathers taught them growing up black in Birmingham, this conversation pulls no punches. They expose how media conditioning creates tactical division and explain why the day of Pentecost represents the enemy's worst nightmare: true, uncompromised unity. Key Topics Covered in This Episode: * The Theology of Equality: Breaking down why racism explicitly violates Christian fundamental beliefs and biblical teachings against partiality.  * Passed Down Wisdom: Roger and Rico share the identical advice given to them by their fathers at young ages about surviving systemic prejudice in the UK.  * The "Human Zoos" of History: Tracking the structural roots of racism back to educational and historical ignorance, including the dark history of Crystal Palace.  * World Cup Media Bias & Free Speech: Analyzing recent global sports controversies, from public slurs against elite black players to fans standing up against racism in the stands.  * The Power of Unity: Why division is the enemy's ultimate tool to conquer communities, and why authentic connection must transcend superficial Sunday services.  About the Show: Love In Action brings you raw, trench-level community conversations designed to challenge perspectives, expose institutional biases, and foster genuine understanding.

This week we return to the worl of James Bond with Roger Moore's second outing!

We're talking For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. We're slowly pulling into the station on the Roger Moore era of James Bond, with the penultimate cast of his films, and we have both a good one and a really, really bad on. We'll let you guess which is which...

This week's featured podcast details what you'll get if you sign up for the annual Alpha Male Retreat in Santa Fe, NM. Hosting the podcast and the retreat are our old friends with Minnesota accents and self-described alphas, Bill Kaminski and Roger Moore (but not that Roger Moore).

Shauna and Olivia are joined by producer, essayist, and screenwriter Daniel de Boulay for this episode. Daniel has worked as an Acquisitions Executive at Sony Pictures for several years and is an alum of the Academy Awards Gold program. He is also an accomplished music producer and composer and is currently working on an essay about James Bond for the website The Splice. Daniel tells the Junkies about the film acquisitions process, what he's working on currently, and how open mic night at comedy clubs is its own kind of therapy. He talks about how he became an essayist and discusses his essay on James Bond (both what his editor will and won't allow him to write about.) How has the character of James Bond evolved from the pages of Ian Fleming's novels to the portrayal by actors like Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Daniel Craig, and what will the character be like in the future as a product of Amazon? Visit Daniel de Boulay's website, danieldeboulay.com and find him on Threads: @deboulay.mxf. You can watch the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast on YouTube!

James Bond didn't just survive the 1980s—he evolved. The decade began with the familiar charm of Roger Moore, who somehow managed to save the world while delivering one-liners smoother than a shaken martini. But by the end of the '80s, the tuxedo belonged to Timothy Dalton, whose darker, more serious interpretation helped pave the way for the modern Bond audiences know today. On this week's Stuck in the '80s, hosts Steve Spears and Sean Daly welcome former St. Petersburg Times film critic Steve Persall for a mission worthy of MI6: revisiting every James Bond film released during the decade. From space lasers and exploding Lotus Esprits to ski chases, killer theme songs and unforgettable villains, the trio debates which films still hold up—and which ones are best left in Q Branch storage. Is The Spy Who Loved Me era impossible to top? Did Licence to Kill deserve more love? Which Bond girl stole the show? And just how many times can Roger Moore raise one eyebrow before it becomes a special effect? Along the way, they also discuss how the Bond franchise adapted to changing audiences, shifting action-movie trends and the arrival of a grittier leading man just as the decade came to a close. Whether you're Team Moore, Team Dalton or simply here for the Aston Martins and gadgets, there's plenty to debate. So pour yourself a martini (your choice of preparation), cue up the unmistakable Bond theme, and join us for a deep dive into one of the biggest movie franchises of the 1980s.

We said James Bond would return... and he did! We continue our series checking out the lesser loved entries from the 007 franchise. This week, it's time to discuss George Lazenby's sole outing as the famous spy, On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), directed by Peter Hunt, and follow it up with one of the most maligned films in the series, Octopussy (1983), directed by John Glen. We discuss the many curious choices that were made surrounding the first non-Connery Bond film (including Lazenby's choice to throw it all away) and make a case for the very specific energy that Roger Moore brings to the role in what is undeniably a very silly Bond film. Stick around for our Bond Tropewatch segment, where we rate each of these films against the checklist of standard Bond tropes to see which fares best! Fair warning: we go into the plots of both films in some detail, including the endings, but we feel like James Bond is somewhat unspoilable in general, so we won't be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for either of these films.

Få filmkaraktärer är väl så ikoniska som James Bond. Vem som är den bästa Bond råder det däremot delade meningar om, men FromBeyond tror sig med hjälp av hans nästan namne Roger Möller hittat en favorit i Roger Moore. Det är en handfull Moore-rullar vi har tittat närmare på i detta avsnitt och även om det inte blir några äventyr med agent 007 vågar vi lova att det blir långt ifrån ospännande. Filmerna vi pratar om är: The Man Who Haunted Himself Street People Shout at the Devil The Wild Geese North Sea Hijack The Naked Face – – – FromBeyond The post #262 – More excitement, more action, more danger, and more, much more, Roger Moore appeared first on FromBeyond.se.

Gene and Dick hit a milestone — episode 501 — and they're celebrating by going back to the '90s with Jean-Claude Van Damme's passion project, The Quest. Commissioned by Steven M. as part of the Month of Steven, this 1996 martial arts adventure finds Van Damme not just starring but directing — and the results are... surprisingly ambitious. In this episode: Is The Quest Bloodsport in 1925, or Van Damme's Indiana Jones? Gene and Dick can't agree. Roger Moore shows up and completely steals the movie. Dick makes a controversial case that he may have been a better Bond than Connery. The tournament fighters are real martial artists — and it makes all the difference. Van Damme is obsessed with his legs. His eyes. And apparently, silk underwear. The orphans were definitely dead by the third act. We ran the timeline. What did the note say? This is the question that may never be answered. Also in this episode: a listener reports that someone trained AI on Big D's voice to sell knives on TikTok, the guys lock in two months of Spooktacular horror films, Beastmaster gets commissioned, and next week brings a summer camp classic from 1979.

Welcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Show. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell welcome special guest Jeff Frank of the Knights of the Rolled Table Podcast to dig into A View to a Kill (1985), Roger Moore's final outing as 007. Expect microchips, motorized blimps, and real disagreement over just how silly a Bond movie can get.The debate circles one question: does this film's camp hold up, or has it curdled with age? Jeff argues the pieces fit the era but the whole never quite gels, while Krissy and Nathan find plenty to love in just how bonkers individual scenes get. Christopher Walken's underused villain, Grace Jones commanding every frame, and a running gag about Bond tormenting his undercover partner Sir Godfrey Tibbett all get their due, alongside snowboard chases and gloriously 1985 details.What keeps things warm rather than cynical is the affection beneath the ribbing, for Walken, for Moore's tired-but-game performance, and for a franchise more fun to discuss than defend. It stays at the premise level throughout, so newcomers and Bond completists alike can listen worry-free.TruStory FM | Membership (early, ad-free access + bonus content): Join | Socials: Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | Learn more about the hosts: Neighborhood Comedy Theatre | Squishy StudiosIf you got to design one gloriously over-the-top scheme for a modern Bond villain, what would it be? ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

What if Ocean's 11 was about race cars? You'd have The Cannonball Run (1981), an action-comedy film based on the 1979 running of the Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash. Yes, that's right, this movie is based on an actual true story.Featuring an amazing cast of Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Roger Moore (playing not-James Bond), Farrah Fawcett (Beauty), Jackie Chan, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin (Rat Pack!), and Adrienne Barbeau (Swamp Thing), the movie is a cross-country outlaw road race beginning in Connecticut and ending in California.Enjoy the absurdity!

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. Form worst to best! How will your favorite stack up?

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.

Pierce Brosnan rescued James Bond from a six-year exile, made him bigger than he'd ever been, and then broke him so badly the franchise had to start over. On this episode we discuss his rather strange run as Bond from the mid-90s to the early 2000s, get into all four films — GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, and Die Another Day — and dig into both the series' complicated past and its resurgence after his run as cinema's most famous spy.Pierce Brosnan rescued James Bond from a six-year exile, made him bigger than he'd ever been, and then broke him so badly the franchise had to start over.

PRP 007 Mini-Broadcast: Episode 9– Live and Let Die (With Robbie Sims) Since the beginning of the show, Brian has done his best to strong-arm discussion of Agent 007 into as many podcasts as he could. Finally he convinced Sarah to embark on a new mission: the Permanent Record Podcast 007 Mini-Broadcast! This occasional series from your friends Brian & Sarah started with "Dr. No" and will work its way up to the most recent Bond adventure, and on the way, it will discuss and critique all of the 007 theme songs and other relevant recordings. It's a dream come true for one of the hosts - and for Bond fans everywhere! Speaking of Bond fans everywhere, they will no doubt be delighted to learn that Robbie Sims, author of the delightful book Quantum of Silliness: The Peculiar World of Bond, James Bond, can once again be found co-hosting this installment with Brian and Sarah. 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!

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.

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.

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!?
