Cinematical Presents: Bondcast!
Filed under: Action, Noir, Sony, United Artists, Podcasts, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Bondcast
With Casino Royale coming out on DVD next week, rumors abounding about Bond 22 everywhere, and a general love (on our part) for all things having to do with that certain British secret agent, we're bringing you our very first Bondcast. Filled with news, rumors, speculations, stories ... and co-hosted by the lovely and talented Athena Stamos from CommanderBond.net. We'll have a new episode every two weeks in which we'll bring you interviews, reports, and more news on the next Bond film.
Plus, be sure to let us know what you'd like to hear. Got a favorite Bond flick? We'll break it down for you. Want the skinny on a particular gadget and its background? We'll dig it up. One of the Bond girls really tickle your fancy? We'll interview her. The sky's the limit. A big thanks to Athena for co-hosting, and to CommanderBond.net for letting us poach her, and for having such a great website devoted to all things James Bond. Swing by and check them out.
Be sure and swing by Moviefone's Casino Royale page which is jam-packed with trailers, interviews, and a great Unscripted where Daniel Craig and director Martin Campbell interview each other.
Corrections: I mistakenly refer to Vesper's boyfriend as Argentinian, not Algerian, whoops. Hopefully he won't be coming after me. Also, the Wal-Mart Casino Royale DVD set does come with a deck of cards and a poker chip, but sadly no briefcase.

Hey guys, great idea and will join up on iTunes. Here's a point for discussion - One of my favourite Bond novels is Moonraker, and I've recently been lent the Alex Rider books from my cousin, now - I was wondering if you guys had read Stormbreaker, and whether you, as me, found it a remake of Moonraker (and whether the film was a closer adaption of Moonraker than any of the James Bond films).

This podcast is great! Thanks for doing it. I am a huge fan of the Bond movies and I especially liked the comments regarding OHMSS, my favorite 007 film. How about a discussion in the future about those Bond movies which have consciously attempted to get back to the gritty nature of the Fleming books? How they did it, why they did it, and how they did or didn't work? In any event, please continue these podcasts - this one really kept my attention!

Great job, Kevin and Athena! What song was playing as a backing track near the end, specifically? It had what sounded like the Bond theme including vocals...?

The music at the end (and the beginning) was the Leroy Holmes recording of the theme. You can get it at iTunes here: http://tinyurl.com/249342

I can't remember which of the five episodes this was talked about in, but at some point it was mentioned that Bond is the largest movie franchise, with (possibly) Trek coming a distant second. However, I was just looking at Wikipedia and found this:
"James Bond also has the second highest amount of sequels (behind Godzilla)."
I'm not sure if this is true or not, though. Are there really more than 22 Godzilla movies? In any case, something to research. Love the podcast! Keep it coming!
