Join Tom and Dan as they investigate why Bond still tops Mission: Impossible, Bourne and what about George Smiley. Every other spy movie franchise loathes and despises James Bond 007 – and the EON Productions 50+ years of success. Why? Because no other franchise, let alone spy movie franchise, has survived and thrived for over 50 years on the big screen, in books and novelizations. Bond is Big – and it may always remain big if EON Productions continues to do the right things – some things more right than others, but they have pretty much done the right things for 50 years. But is there a challenger?! All Podcasts: http://bit.ly/31w8oer

Is the world enough? Spy movies have always looked for real-world inspirations to incorporate into their spy movies! The Duke of Wellington makes an appearance in Dr. No, James Bond, in the pre-title to Goldfinger, removes his wet suit to reveal a perfectly neat & crisp white dinner jacket & bow tie . . . this came right out of a real World War II operation! Who was the real spy? Fake deaths, like in You Only Live Twice, rooted in other real World War II operations. Piz Gloria and chemicals – we found a real event in 1968, and lots more! We will take a look at how some real-world events found their way into some spy movies, in this podcast, from 1962 – 1969. So, let's go exploring & discover some hidden connections! This is Part 1 of a two part series. If you have any suggestions on what to include in a future podcast, send them to Dan@SpyMovieNavigator.com Podcast Website page: https://bit.ly/2ZQqjRR

Interview with: His World Never Dies: The Evolution of James Bond author, Dave Holcomb - Book is a nice read and in this podcast we interview the author! We read a lot of books on spies – real spies and movie spies – so we can gain a little more insight into the spy movies that we are having fun with. This book looks at Bond from a unique vantage point. Kind of a cool title considering the EON just announced the new Bond film (November 2020) is called No Time to Die! Dave weaves a story on how Bond has evolved over the decades with some unique insights, a treatment of sexism and race, and a very interesting concept of how history and the Bond series goes through what is called a History Gyre, which suggests that history does not only repeat itself, but that it moves in an evolutionary circle. Dave suggests that the Bond films go through this same evolutionary circle. It is a great book, which we enjoyed reading, and we had a great conversation with the author, Dave Holcomb - listen now! We'd highly recommend it, and you can find it on Amazon, just search His World Never Dies. All Podcasts: http://bit.ly/31w8oer

Join Tom and Dan as they compare From Russia With Love to real world events and its relationship to other spy movies! This is Part 2 or a 2 Part show on From Russia With Love. When Ian Fleming wrote From Russia With Love, the Soviet Union had not yet launched Sputnik, the first satellite ever put into space. But by October 4th, 1957, Sputnik was successfully launched which began the official space race between the then Soviet Union and the United States – so the subject matter of the film was very much on everyone's mind worldwide – what will happen in space, and what will tensions between the US and the Soviet Union bring to the world. Another great choice by EON Productions to produce this film in 1963. From Russia with Love is the second EON Productions entry into the film series and it is an outstanding film. Many choose From Russia With Love as one of their favorite James Bond movies. And we have to agree – this is definitely is one of our top 5 Bond films ever made by EON Productions because of the screenplay, the cast, and just how well the story unfolds before our eyes. This is top-notch Bond! James Bond. All Podcasts: http://bit.ly/31w8oer
