Author: BondCast January 7, 2020 Duration: 1:36:31
BondCast is back with our look at the thirteenth film in the EON 007 series, 1983's Octopussy. Roger Moore is back for more as the Cold War reigns and the Russians are up to some specious activitiy involving a Fabrege Egg. We discuss Roger's continuing involvement with the franchise, as well as the plot, the women, the gadgets, and the laughs.

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.
