Good podcast……..until nitpicking
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 makes. While the watch alongs are great in theory it’s seems rather than giving insight to the films they are watching they just nitpick them to death……like seriously these movies especially the older ones were never meant to analyzed to this degree. Though you can tell they are having fun which makes it enjoyable it often seems like it would be more fun to be apart of it rather than listening too them. My biggest gripe are the podcasts related to No Time To Die these seem to be more critical than the rest of the regular ones and I don’t feel they represent a fair overall fan reaction to it. The episode that had the first spoiler review is almost unlistenable. There is a guest speaker who totally trashes the new film and she almost comes off like she is owed something as a fan, later on in the episode you hear less from her like they edited her out which I don’t blame them if they did. Poor Ben seemed to almost have to apologize that he liked the movie………that’s just horrible in my opinion. While I enjoyed the earlier episodes during the pandemic despite the nitpicking it seems any episode about the new movie has soured my feelings towards it. Please take a step back and focus on what you love about James Bond vs. what you dislike. Rant over:)

More reviews of James Bond & Friends
Relentlessly smug and self-aggrandising (excepting occasional contributors, such as Calvin Dyson and Joe Darlington), this can be an unpleasant listen. Nevertheless, there are differing opinions amongst the regular ‘panel’ and some interesting film production details are discussed sometimes, so...Read full review »

A lineup of Bond fans including a scholarly academic, film reviewers and aficionados discuss all things James Bond. Of particular interest are the watchalong commentaries.

You guys forgot For Eyes Only - Koenig loves to hear himself talk that so much that you skipped right over it. When Bond and Melina are dragged behind the boat and Aristotle thinks the sharks gets them - you guys are supposed to be experts
