Who Should Direct the Next 007? Breaking Down the Top 5 Contenders

In this Geek Freaks Headlines episode, we go deep on the five directors currently pitching to lead the next era of James Bond. From emotionally grounded storytelling to fast-paced action and visual spectacle, each candidate brings a unique vision to the table. Frank discusses their past work, their potential impact on the franchise, and his top pick for Bond’s future. Whether you're a diehard Bond fan or just love great filmmaking, this breakdown is for you.

01:14 – Paul King: emotional warmth and UK charm
01:44 – Edgar Wright: stylized action and modern energy
