Author: BondCast October 22, 2013 Duration: 1:07:57
BondCast is back with our close-up look at the epic 1965 007 film Thunderball.  Join Jason, Jimmy Mac, and Jonathan Wilkins for an in-depth discussion of this monster hit.  We talk about the early reviews, the women, and even discover a plot hole or two along the way. And of course, we critique yet another version of Felix Leiter!  You are under strict orders from the MI6 to drop everything your are doing and listen to this first part of our analysis of Sean Connery's biggest Bond to date, Thunderball.

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.
