Guns, Girls and Colonialism: that’s right, it’s a James Bond podcast! Jackson and Dia are going on a journey week by week through the movies of the UK’s most famous secret agent, starting with Dr. No and taking us all the way up through the release of Bond 25. We hope you can join us as we relive and reconsider the memories of our favourite imperial assassin across over a half-century of movies.

Never Say Podcast Again 005: Casino Royale (1967)
Dia and Jackson are back again with their podcast about the 1967 parody
film: Casino Royale. The movie might have 5 directors and be an utter mess
but Orson Welles does a magic trick just for us and Woody Allen goes to
hell for being a creep weirdo so it’s actually better than reality. Who can
say what is good and bad. We can, on our podcast. -
Thunderball
After taking turns each having to push the recording back a week, Dia and Jackson are here to cover the 1965 James Bond movie: Thunderball.
It goes on forever, half of it takes place underwater with everyone in scubing gear, but Terrence Young is back and thank god because he can actually frame a shot. -
Goldfinger
CW: Frank discusson of a very blatant rape scene. It’s unavoidable when talking about this movie, and it sucks a lot, so just be warned going in.
Dia and Jackson return after two mostly great times with Connery’s turn as the world’s greatest colonialism cop, to watch Goldfinger, the most successful Bond movie of its day, a worldwide phenomenon and template for the rest of the series.
There’s just one small problem: it’s a f*****g terrible movie. -
From Russia With Love
This week, Dia and Jackson are watching From Russia With Love, an absolutely fantastic movie that everyone and their dog has been stealing from for the last fifty years. We talk about Bond’s complete and total lack of masculine appeal, a ridiculous catfight, and the man, the myth, the motherfucking legend: Ali Kerim Bay
You can find Jackson on twitter at @headfallsoff and you can find Dia on twitter at @dialacina, and if you want to email in your thoughts on the next bond movie you can do so at podcast@abnormalmapping.com
JAMES BOND WILL RETURN IN… GOLDFINGER -
Dr. No
It’s a new podcast!!! Hello!! Jackson Tyler (@headfallsoff) and Dia Lacina
(@dialacina) are here to watch every James Bond movie from Dr. No to
Whatever The Hell They Call The One Coming Out Next Year, and to podcast
about it as they go. I am very, very excited for this podcast and I hope
you can all go on this journey with us.
This week, we’re watching Dr. No, the very first James Bond movie, released
in 1962 and directed by Terrence Young. We talk about the sexual politics
of Bond’s Gun, the weird racial power rankings put forth by the movie and
the chillest supervillain base of all time.
