“There are audio issues due to the remote recording and some of the in-joke humour will be lost on many listeners but it is forgivable, given how authoritative almost all of the contributors are.”

“Was just looking for a podcast to kill the time and now I’m obsessed. A bunch of really smart, really knowledgeable James Bond nerds talking 007. What’s not to love? I’m a comedian and I travel a lot and have a bunch of free time and these guys and gals have become my constant companions. Thanks...”Read full review »

“If you want to be convinced that the Daniel Craig era was trash, then this is the podcast for you! As I listen, I just keep waiting to hear the tone in their voices that they are actually fans of Bond….still waiting”

“Good heavens! Less of Dr Lisa Funnell please I can’t stand the narrow viewpoint and repeated points it’s appallingly unecessary. The smugness overall is incredibly irritating. James Bond radio can’t return soon enough!!”

“James is the centre of gravity of a whole Bond sub-universe, Phil contributes an amount of insight that is unbelievable, Bill is a Bond veteran I look up to, Ben’s reflections on Bond enrich my life, Calvin is as knowledgeable as he is charming, and Lisa is without equal. Listening to these...”Read full review »

“It largely consists of a bolus of self-satisfied individuals who live to parrot the politically-correct rhetoric of Social Media Land. However, it does occasionally have some excellent guests. Calvin Dyson is an absolute joy, Joe Darlington is always a welcome guest, Bill Koenig is insightful and...”Read full review »

“While overall this is a solid podcast of the series it’s not without its issues and some are minor while others could make you stop listening. First off the main host has great insider info but comes off as super cynical especially over the Craig films. Any possible criticism that can be made he...”Read full review »

However the comments by other contributors...”Read full review »

“Every two seconds they’re talking about politics or other topics that have nothing to do with James Bond. It feels like a bait-and-switch to come here to listen about Bond and hear about so many other things.”

Nevertheless, there are differing opinions amongst the regular ‘panel’ and some interesting film production details are discussed sometimes, so...”Read full review »

“The ultimate James Bond fandom podcast. Doesn’t shy away from exchanging different views and takes on the series and its instalments, yet remaining very respectful. True experts with a throve of knowledge about the films and behind the scenes. I would perhaps rate it 4.9 out of 5: would love to...”Read full review »

Positive comments about the films take up about 10 % of the podcast, and some of the contributors are so predictable and only see what...”Read full review »

“The watchalongs have been great except for Bill Koenig talks WAY too much and interrupts others to make points or observations that go nowhere. He builds up and fizzles out with a “well anyways...”. Bill also seems to use “like” way more than a man of his age should! Please don’t choose a film...”Read full review »

“I’m done listening going to unsubscribe to this podcast - I’m sick of hearing the professor whine about how bond treats women - these are movies get over it and get over yourself - I knew she was going to ruin this podcast the first time I heard her intro - she loved talking about herself”

Some of the hosts are great but others seem to...”Read full review »
