James Bond Radio: 007 News, Reviews & Interviews!

This week we're back with our first look at the songs of Bond. Starting off with Dr. No, through to Sheena Easton's, For Your Eyes Only.
 Be warned, Tom and Chris get a little too passionate during this episode. If the sound of two grown men dry humping each other to the sound of On Her Majesty's Secret Service might offend you, then it's probably best to skip this one.

PLUS: Operation Kid Brother, Daniel Craig quits in the news, Thrilling Cities, JBR in Philadelphia & Chicago and more.

Song reviews begin at: 36:46.

It's time to let the people speak once again!

After the success of our listener 90 second review episode during the 30 days of SPECTRE, we thought we'd start a new tradition off at JBR with a listener takeover for every one of our film reviews. 

In addition to the listener reviews we also discuss the passing of Bond legends Sir Ken Adam and Sir George Martin. We look at SPECTRE's recent wins at the Empire Film awards and we run a special one-off edition of Bond Celebrity Deathmatch.

JBR returns this week to conclude our review of Sir Roger Moores' 5th Bond outing, For Your Eyes Only. Picking up where we left off just after the death of Ferrara we discuss Roger's darkest moment with the cold blooded killing of Locke, we look at Bond's latest ally, Columbo and we talk about one of the most memorable climbing sequences ever. 

Not only are we balls deep in For Your Eyes Only this week, we also crown the ultimate winner of the Bond Celebrity Deathmatch tournament. Don't miss this week's episode of James Bond Radio.

2015 was “The Year of Sir Roger.” 2016 is the year of Sir Roger continued with our latest film review: For Your Eyes Only. After the mammoth amount of SPECTRE coverage we provided last year it feels good to step back in time to the first Bond film of the 80s.

This time we Sir Rog trade outer space for a good old fashioned, Fleming-infused spy romp. This is without doubt Roger’s grittiest entry in the series but what the JBR crew think? Do we miss the bright yellow banana suit? Do we find ourselves pining for the more outrageous side of the big man? Find out in today’s episode of James Bond Radio.
