LIVE AND LET DIE Part 1

Author: BondCast October 29, 2015 Duration: 1:05:24
BondCast is back from special assignment with our top field agents reporting for duty.  Serving Queen and Country once again are BondCast hosts Jason Swank, Jimmy Mac and Jonathan Wilkins and the topic of conversation is the 8th 007 film from EON Productions and the first for Roger Moore, LIVE AND LET DIE.  We talk about Moore's debut and the difficulty of picking up where Sean Connery left off. Plus, we get down and dirty with discussion about the antagonist Kananga and his henchman Whisper, along with Bond allies Rosie Carver, Harold Strutter and David Hedison's first stab at Felix Leiter.  And who could forget the lovely Jane Seymour as Solitare?  Ramp up to the release of SPECTRE and get your 007 fix now with BondCast's review of 1973's LIVE AND LET DIE.

There’s always something happening in the world of James Bond, whether it’s news about a new film, a fresh piece of casting, or a classic anniversary. BondCast is where that conversation lives, hosted by veteran podcasters Jason Swank, Jimmy Mac, and Jonathan Wilkins. You might know their voices from other fan-favorite shows, but here their focus is entirely on 007. Each month, they gather for a deep and often lively discussion that covers the latest headlines buzzing around the franchise. Then, they dive into a detailed review of one featured film from the extensive Bond catalog. The approach is that of informed fans who know their history, offering commentary that’s both enthusiastic and thoughtful-or as they put it, “Shaken, not slurred.” From the gritty beginnings of Dr. No to the modern chapters like Skyfall and every adventure in between, no era is off the table. This isn’t just a recap of plots; it’s about the context, the craftsmanship, and the cultural impact of cinema’s most enduring spy. Tuning into this podcast feels like pulling up a chair in a pub with friends who have a serious, yet never solemn, appreciation for all things Bond. You’ll come away with a deeper understanding of the films and the fun of the ongoing speculation about where 007 will go next.
