The Good the Bad and Unique of Roger Moore as James Bond

Dan and Tom decode the Good the Bad and Unique of Roger Moore as James Bond. What worked and didn't work well? What made him a unique Bond? Listen to find out.

Roger Moore helmed seven James Bond movies. Some were well-received, and others were not. He had a very different style compared to what we saw with Sean Connery and George Lazenby.

We break down Roger Moore's James Bond movies by looking at:

· How did Roger Moore's career before Bond influence how Moore played Bond?

· What did Roger Moore change about the James Bond character?

· What did Roger Moore think about guns and violence?

· How many times did he order a martini "shaken, not stirred"?

· Cigar or cigarette?

· How much older was Moore than his lovers in A VIEW TO A KILL?

· Was Roger Moore too old to play James Bond in A VIEW TO A KILL?

· Where does Roger Moore rank as James Bond by different types of James Bond movie fans?

· We rank Moore's James Bond movies and tell you why each is ranked where it is.

· And more …

We had fun putting this one together. Listen to find out more.
