November Kelly (Kill James Bond!; No Gods No Mayors; Trashfuture; Well There's Your Problem; Be Gay Solve Crimes) enrolls the lads in the 00 program as they cover IO Interactive's 2026 spy-fest: 007: First Light. Topics include the origins of IO, the importance of fluted windows, and what it means to try to maintain a modern franchise featuring nothing but a stupid policeman. November Kelly: Website // Bluesky Kill James Bond! is a comedy film review/ pop culture commentary podcast about the portrayal of masculinity in cinema. November Kelly, Abigail Thorn, and Devon have watched Bond movies, War on Terror movies, Eurospy movies, and now they take on their biggest task yet: Heist Movies. What can Heat, Oceans' 11, and the Fast and Furious movies teach us about how masculinity was imagined by the people who created them? What does that say about Society?

Seamus joins us to talk about the sudden (apparent) about face of some western leaders on Israel, who suddenly just now realised that a genocide may be occurring on their watch, and why the right time to take this stand was years ago. Also, we discuss a tech leader who wants to productise thinking, the ongoing adventures of Gregor Steube, and a new and innovative way hackers are stealing bitcoin. Check out Séamus's work here!

Historian and journalist Ben Fogel joins the gang to talk about South Africa, and how it came to be a totem for the modern right. Also, we look at Elon's continued decline and fall (despite the “success” of his project), and Robert Jenrick's new career as an influencer.

Eleanor Janega stops by to talk about her new project on the history of The Crusades with American Prestige, and how these largely failed military campaigns against basically everyone East of the Italian peninsula transformed into the iconography of Islamophobia at home. But first, we look at more flailing from the Labour Government, a plan to sentence criminals to bins, and reflect on Scott Adams' ass.

The oft-requested episode is finally here, in which we watch what can only be described as a piece of outsider art: a zero-budget, zero-effort British gangster film made sometime between 2011 and 2017 by a woman named Sally Clack, who performs under the name Rapper Shampagne™. Dave Courtney is in this but you'd barely know it. This film caused Nate to have an existential crisis. We do not recommend viewing the film itself.

Tech reporter Mike Isaac rejoins us to talk about the antitrust trials against Meta and Alphabet currently winding their way through the US justice system… but we enjoy a pretty significant detour into the world of the paint mafia. Also discussed is a startup “reinventing banking” to help ordinary people invest in high risk private capital projects with their pension funds, the great burrito bust out, and xAI's wild turn as a white genocide guy.

For this week's free one, we've got returning guest Tim Faust on to talk about Make America Healthy Again (citations needed), Diamond Joe having cancer, the intensely evil cross-partisan urge to institute Medicaid work requirements in the US, plus a visit to the developing paradise of Neom.

Note: there is a part at the beginning of the episode that will sound like we left in an editing mistake, but we assure you……….it's intentional. It's Riley, Milo, Hussein, and November, checking in with Jan Marsalek (to an extent), hearing about an orb that can tell if you're a chatbot or not, and reviewing Janice Turner's absolutely bananas article about ‘the lanyard class.' Apparently we did too much corporate CYA training and now the only recourse is to do full fascism. Or something?

Dan Boeckner's in town, so he joins us to talk about the ongoing trade chaos, the new plan by the Charter Cities Institute to make a sparkling tech enabled immigration detention centre / San Francisco competitor on a very controversial Navy Base, and finally we look at the just-released immigration white paper, where Sir Keir Starmer KC Human Rights Lawyer and Saviour of Sensible Politics comes juuuuust close enough to quoting Enoch Powell to raise an eyebrow.
