Podcast appearances and mentions of Tom Francis

Ein schwarzer Aston Martin rast durch die Nacht. Die Straßen glänzen im Regen, während ein Mann im Smoking seinen nächsten Auftrag entgegennimmt. Wenige Sekunden später fällt jener Satz, der Filmgeschichte geschrieben hat: „The name's Bond. James Bond.“ Seit mehr als sechs Jahrzehnten gehört 007 zu den bekanntesten Figuren der Popkultur, ist britisches Kulturgut, Kino-Ikone und eine der erfolgreichsten Filmreihen aller Zeiten. In dieser Folge BRITPOD – England at its best widmen sich Alexander-Klaus Stecher und Claus Beling einer Frage, die Bond-Fans weltweit beschäftigt: Wer wird der nächste James Bond? Nach dem Abschied von Daniel Craig und dem Wechsel der kreativen Kontrolle zu Amazon MGM Studios beginnt für das Franchise eine neue Ära. Regisseur Denis Villeneuve arbeitet bereits am nächsten Film, während hinter den Kulissen intensiv nach dem neuen Gesicht von 007 gesucht wird. Namen wie Callum Turner, Aaron Taylor-Johnson oder Tom Francis werden immer wieder gehandelt – eine offizielle Entscheidung steht jedoch noch aus. Gleichzeitig wird eine Debatte geführt, die weit über die Besetzung hinausgeht. Wie viel Tradition braucht James Bond, wie viel Veränderung verträgt die Figur? Die langjährige Bond-Produzentin Barbara Broccoli, die das Franchise über Jahrzehnte geprägt hat, vertritt dabei teilweise andere Positionen als Hollywood-Stars wie Pierce Brosnan, Halle Berry oder Helen Mirren. Während viele an der klassischen Figur festhalten möchten, sehen andere die Chance, Bond neu zu interpretieren und an eine veränderte Welt anzupassen. Die Geschichte von James Bond war immer auch ein Spiegel ihrer Zeit. Von Sean Connerys Kalter-Krieg-Abenteuern über Roger Moores charmante Einsätze bis hin zu Daniel Craigs moderner Interpretation hat sich die Figur immer wieder neu erfunden. Nun steht die berühmteste Geheimagenten-Reihe der Filmgeschichte erneut an einem Wendepunkt, der ihre Zukunft für Jahrzehnte prägen könnte. Wer hat die besten Chancen auf die Lizenz zum Töten? Warum bewegt die Suche nach einem neuen Bond Fans rund um den Globus? Und wie wird sich 007 in einer neuen Ära behaupten?

One of this Broadway season's most talked about shows is the new, Jamie Lloyd directed revival of SUNSET BOULEVARD. The production, which was first seen at the Savoy Theatre in the West End, stars Nicole Scherzinger as Norma Desmond and Tom Francis as Joe Gillis. Despite the show's success and buzz, however, it was recently announced that the run would conclude in July, shortly after this year's Tony Awards. Is this the conclusion of what was always intended to be a limited run, or the result of recasting challenges?

Sunset Boulevard is getting talked about again on social media for its impressive act 2 stunt - but not entirely for good reasons. The production, a revival of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical in a bold new staging by Jamie Lloyd starring Nicole Scherzinger, recently began previews at the St James Theatre on Broadway in New York and has encountered a couple of issues with their updated 'route'. During the show's second act, its Olivier Award winning leading man Tom Francis sings the titular number via live video feed, and the nature of this moment has divided social media users, with many declaring it simply not viable on the comparatively intense streets of Manhattan. In today's episode Mickey-Jo is debunking some of the more dramatic responses to this as well as sharing some context about the history of this scene, the production itself, and my thoughts about its ongoing potential... • 00:00 | introduction 04:06 | what is Sunset Boulevard? 09:36 | what is *that* scene? 16:03 | the journey to Broadway 19:52 | what went wrong? • About Mickey-Jo: As one of the leading voices in theatre criticism on a social platform, Mickey-Jo is pioneering a new medium for a dwindling field.

A decade ago, one member of the games press decided to try his hand at development, and it worked out pretty alright for him. So, for this episode of Stealth Boom Boom, we decided to take a look at that 2013 2D puzzle-stealth game from indie dev Suspicious Developments. We're talking Gunpoint.On this episode, we talk about the vlogging developer Tom Francis was doing, in the lead-up to the game's launch, on topics such as action games vs stealth game, as well as the heartbreak and triumph you encounter while making a game. We also chat about all the interviews Francis did in and around the game's launch – most of them are on whether his work at PC Gamer influenced Gunpoint in some way.In our review, you'll hear us discuss successful instafail, sharpshooting guards, the gift that is the Crosslink, a pair of superhero trousers, cartoon violence, a gun with a timer, kicking doors off their hinges, dialogue options that don't matter, and some jazz synth fusion.Colm tests the gaming knowledge of Adam and Josh in Who Am I? And then the lads give their final verdict on whether Gunpoint is a Pass, a Play, or an Espionage Explosion.For those that would like to play along at home, we'll be reviewing The Last Of Us on the next episode of Stealth Boom Boom.IMPORTANT LINKS TO THINGS
