Description
In this mission debrief for OCTOPUSSY, we identify the iconic elements we would use to describe it as "the one with", shake the Bond cocktail and pick this film's most potent ingredients, toot the horn for underappreciated elements, round up our favourite trivia tidbits, and give our final top/middle/bottom rankings.  James Bond may have met his match in Octopussy, an entrancing beauty involved in a devastating military plot to destroy détente.

The recording took place on June 24th, 2022 in the USA and UK.  James Page is a co-founder of MI6-HQ.com and the magazine MI6 Confidential Calvin Dyson Reviews Bond channel can be enjoyed at youtube.com/calvindyson Joseph Darlington is Head of Section at beingjamesbond.com Bill Koenig runs the Spy Command at hmssweblog.wordpress.com This podcast is copyright Pretitles LLC © 2022
