AN EPISODE?! WHAT IS THIS?! Yes, after eight months away, we're back—but it's with great sadness that we bring you our LAST EPISODE EVER. BOOO! Sadly, we've decided to end the show, but we're going out with a bang in this massive farewell episode. We relive all the best (and worst) bits, share our thoughts on the recent Bond news we've missed in early 2025, and drop all the truths and insights you need before we ride off into the sunset… and get blown up on an island to avoid being a father. It's sad, it's fun, it's a celebration, so join us one final time as we wrap up your favourite Bond podcast in style!
★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★We did it once in 2022, and then another time in 2023, so now it’s time to do it for a THIRD TIME as we bring you our CHRISTMAS SPECATCULAR EPISODE! YAY! And given this write up could be a quiz question next year, let’s say the word DILDO and pretend that is relevant (it is) to this episode to celebrate another Christmas! Ben, Noah and Colin are all back to close out the year in style, with a look back at how they spent 2024 in Bond, see what they are predicting for 2025 and also now answer our famous Bond questions that you want and need! There are also plenty of Christmas references, some connections to Shrek and lightning in your testicles that would make even Billy Magnussen smile more! It’s an episode to make your Christmas even more spectacular! So get your Turkey ready and be prepared (thanks Scar) to come more than once in the episode you need to make your year complete!
★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★It’s another episode of your favourite James Bond podcast in which we avoid the episodes we promised by bringing you new versions of old episodes, as we once again talk about No Time To Die by doing a REDUX commentary of it! Why are we so pumped to be talking about this film again, even though we have done more episodes than most people have had chicken dinners? Why can we just glow about Billy Magnussen for three hours? What on earth is a Diane carrot? How does Noah know about Ben’s candle habits? How does this movie just keep getting better and better each time we watch it? Have we changed our viewpoint on the controversial aspects of it? Will we ever get to commentate on another Bond film? And how does this movie always just go so quickly despite it being so long? Strap in, get your Dou Dou out and find some fog in Norway for another epic ride!
★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★Apparently the REXUX commentary is a thing again as we once again recycle an old episode by bringing you a new version of it, as we REDUX our very first commentary from 2016 and talk over Dr No once more! Just why is this a Ben episode to do a Ben thing? Are we excited to be back with the dongs? How are we so pervy in this episode of bottoms and men? Are we excited to talk about a nice bouffant hairstyle? Has Noah come around on fancy British men in eight years? Do we miss Colin in this episode or once again are we not caring? How beautiful does this film look through the various conversions over the years? Why do we want to just talk about Quarrel the whole episode? And why are we doing this episode and not some of the others we have meant to have done recently? Get yourself listened in and back to the past for the future for another fun ride!
★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★IT’S OUR 150TH EPISODE! YAY! So what are we doing to celebrate it? Getting another famous Bond actor on to talk about their time on the show? Going on location to a Bond location? Making a James Bond movie to celebrate? NONE OF THE ABOVE! Because this time to celebrate our GROUNDBREAKING 150th episode we are here to do ANOTHER RANKINGS! YAY! So you can get excited as we rank all the official James Bond movie posters from the last 62 years! WHAT A WAY TO CELEBRATE! Which, given the occasion, why is Colin not here once again? Why aren’t we doing a special episode to celebrate and why are we being so sarcastic in this post? Why is this maybe the worst ever rankings list we’ve ever seen from one of our hosts? Why does Ben get a knife in this episode? Why does Ben walk away in this episode? Why is Noah forgetting movies this episode? Why do we want to watch Joe Dirt all of a sudden? Where would we rank the poster for Epic Movie compared to all of these? And why is Colin typing to us in this episode but not showing up? There’s so much to get to that you have to listen right now so get to it!
★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★It’s another rankings episode and time for a bit of fun as we go over all the times our favourite character has uttered his name in that true James Bond style as we rank all the Bond, James Bonds! Why are we extra mad at Colin for not being here this time? Why has Ben stuffed up the intro by not going with something obvious? Why are we so excited to talk about Australian ice creams? Would we get into a Citroen with Billy Magnussen? Why should we talk more about out proud kookaburras? What do we think of nachos and why should they be put down? Why do we need to zoom in on Pierce Brosnan so much? Would we catch a life with Pink? Which of the six Bond actors is the best at delivering the line? And will we have the most obvious number one in the history of our rankings episodes? It’s all here and more (Roger) in one exciting episode that you can’t miss! So get to listening!
★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★Last week we celebrated the most beautiful man alive with his 71st birthday. That’s right, Pierce Brosnan got a year older but another year more beautiful. So what better way to celebrate him and that occasion than with a special episode dedicated to the man himself at a very special event in Sydney! To celebrate him, a special double screening of two of his Bond films was held, with both Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies screening to a dedicated group of fans in the Harbour City. Of course this meant Ben went along to check out the films to subtly brag to Colin & Noah that he has seen them on the big screen, but also speak to the fans in attendance, as well as James Bond Downunder founder Jimmy Roberts and the director of The Other Fellow Matt Bauer, to learn just why they all love Pierce Brosnan and why he is the GOAT. And the most beautiful man alive. That too. Because we know it’s true! So sit back, relax and listen to another epic episode where we get to glow all things Pierce in the best possible way!
★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★Another rankings episode coming your way today as we get into the nitty gritty of your favourite franchise by ranking all the unique gun barrel sequences that (mostly) start every single film! Why has Colin failed to show up again? Why is Die Another Day set to once again get blasted? What does Aaron Carter have to do with anything? Why does Only Fans have to do with anything? Are we surprised to learn where poo comes from? Why does Timothy Dalton look like he needs to do a poo? Why do we want so many of these gun barrel poses on a poster on a wall? Why could we watch Pierce Brosnan walking all the time? Which names from Bond are the most Bondian sounding? And are we pro or anti knee? Get your fix, get your bullet and get your talking ready to go in another epic episode!

This time we’re ranking all 25 films and their titles, a list that we know you’ve been waiting for and one that even we don’t know how will turn out! Just why is Colin missing again? How is this the most spread out list we’ve ever done? Does Ben’s criteria make any sense for his rankings? Why is Noah defending some titles we never thought he would? What does Steven Seagal have to do with anything? Who are Suckmoore and Cockpuncher? Are we weirdly addicted to kid’s reviews of James Bond movies now? What is a Stuncle? Should we listen to more songs by The Knack? And how on earth do we get our end rankings so weird? It’s an interesting episode that will once again bring you some interesting things to listen to so get to it!
★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★We’re apparently on a bit of a roll with the rankings which means it’s time to bring you another episode of ranking things, this time with the entire gang back together (thanks Colin) as we rank all the 12 directors of the James Bond franchise in a list that we know will cause some debate! Why are we so judgmental on people’s names this episode? Why isn’t Ben controversial for once? Why is Colin controversial for once? What do we think of Gorillas in the Mist? Should people with two first names be trusted? Is a movie that looks dated a good or a bad thing on this podcast? What questions would we ask Lee Tamahori? Why aren’t we ranking Danny Boyle? What does ratio have to do with anything? Is the word penalised funny? And why do we want to glob glob glob all the way in this episode? It’s another fun time that you won’t want to miss! So tune in!
★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★After a ranking episode you loved a few weeks ago, let’s get into another one that you’ll love just as much as we rank both the entrances of all the actors to play James Bond as well as their exits from the franchise in another random yet fun list! Why has Colin once again not bothered to show up? Why is one of these lists rather easy and the other rather hard? Why do we feel for Roger Moore this episode? Is Colin over it being a blinking fish? What does Russia have to do with this episode? Why is there so much poo talk and why is it funny? What do nuns have to do with anything and why are so interested in milking them? Speaking of milking, are we milking jokes for all they’re worth once again on this show? And why are we all of a sudden more excited to rank in our next episode? Get your exits and entrances ready for another episode you can’t miss!

They love them so much that they’re back to bring you another one today as they rank all the Bond film titles dropped in a movie in one of the most unique rankings we’ve ever done! Why is this list so over the place? How is Colin involved when he’s not here? Why is Ben actually going to surprise people with his Die Another Day ranking this week? Is this a good week to be a Timothy Dalton fan? How on earth do we rank A View To A Kill? Why are some movies that are ranked high usually not high this time? Why are we team wallet? What weird things do we want to measure this episode? And where the hell is 146 Chestnut Bay? Come for the rankings, stay for the entertainment in another epic episode! Get to it!
★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★A very special interview coming your way today as we sit down with Willoughby Symphony Orchestra concertmaster Maria Lindsay ahead of the special James Bond symphony evening happening in Sydney to learn more about her love of music and just what to expect with the Willoughby Symphony Orchestra: An Evening with James Bond event!

★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★The year is 2024 and we’re back for another epic year of James Bond action! And what a way to kick things off for another year as we sit down with Drew Roller, the director of GoldenEra, to learn more about his epic movie about the history of the GoldenEye video game and just why it is such an iconic game that has stood the test of time after all of these years! We find out from Drew how he has found the reception of the film now that it’s been out for 18 months and just how nostalgic it has been for him and the fans to revisit the iconic game. We also find out from Drew whether it was the game that drew him into the Bond franchise or the other way around and which film is his very unique favourite. Added to this we learn a bit more about the extremely reclusive Stamper brothers who founded the company behind the GoldenEye game Rare, get some further thoughts on the Brosnan era of James Bond and find out why Drew and Ben could be best friends. It’s an incredible chat that you won’t want to miss!
