Why Amazon Controlling James Bond Might be the Best thing ever!

Dan and Tom look at the pluses and minuses of Amazon controlling James Bond. Is it the best thing for the franchise? It just may be! On the other hand, what are the roadblocks they may encounter in making this a success? Listen to find out!

We've had a bit of time to digest the news of Eon Productions' selling creative control of the James Bond franchise to Amazon. At the time, we released a fan reaction episode.

But now, producers and directors are being announced, so it is time to reexamine this dramatic change to this 63-year-old powerhouse. Furthermore, might this just be the best thing for the franchise in a long time?

What we will decode in this episode

We look at the following to answer the question: Is Amazon taking complete control of James Bond a good thing or a bad thing?

· Was Eon Productions tired of James Bond?

· The size of the bet for Amazon

· In addition to the initial costs, can Amazon use its industry power to succeed?

· What are our biggest fears about this takeover?

· Should the recent hiring announcements quell our fears?

· In what ways might Amazon expand the franchise?

· Should Amazon expand into TV, spin-offs, and the like?

· The need to get good content fast. Therefore, is there a role for the novels of the James Bond continuation authors here?

· How does Amazon's global reach impact its potential expansion of the franchise?

· Does Amazon's money allow it to expand the quality of what we see in James Bond movies?

· What can Amazon learn from Disney and its purchase of STAR WARS?

· And of course, there is more!

Tell us what you think. Is Amazon controlling James Bond a good thing or a bad thing?

So, these are our thoughts. Are we on track? Additionally, what do you think about expanding into different media?

Spy Movie Navigator visits GOLDFINGER Filming Locations in Miami Florida (USA)

SpyMovieNavigator took a trip to Florida in the USA to visit filming location sites for Goldfinger (Miami) and for Licence to Kill (in Key West Florida). Here in part one, we look at the Fontainebleau Resort where Bond is vacationing after a mission, Oddjobs route to the "airport" with Mr. Solo, Felix Leiter and Simmons waiting location at a KFC, and finally the iron and metal yard where Mr. Solo meets his "pressing engagement." On this trip we visited about 17 James Bond filming locations, and we talk about the excitement of the trip and cut to podcast clips we recorded on location. Fun trip and some beautiful spots!

James Bond is to Spies What Sherlock Holmes is to Detectives!

James Bond is to Spies What Sherlock Holmes is to Detectives!

Sherlock Bond? James Holmes? James Bond is to spies what Sherlock Holmes is to detectives! Let's journey into this dark London world together and see what clues we can find! Today, we're going to do some sleuthing around London – well, metaphorically that is! Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Ian Fleming created some of the best known literary characters this world has ever known. Both Sherlock Holmes and James Bond made the leap from the pages of novels and short stories to the big screen – and nothing has been the same ever since. All Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3dF9ueE

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - Is It Impossible To Bring A Successful TV Show to Film?  Mission Impossible Does it!

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - Is It Impossible To Bring A Successful TV Show to Film? Mission Impossible Does it!

Is it an Impossible task to bring a successful tv show to film? Come with us as we dissect the first Mission: Impossible movie! For the most part, Spy Movies have had their origin from books: James Bond, Bourne Identity, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan stories, John Le Carre's books, etc. However, in 1996, Paramount Pictures and Cruise/Wagner Productions, released the first film of the Mission: Impossible series, based on the TV show. Other spy-based tv shows wouldn't get their US big-screen debuts until years later (namely I Spy in 2002 and Get Smart in 2008, even the Man From Uncle in 2013). All Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3dF9ueE

Why Dr. No is Dr. YES for Spy Movie Fans

Why Dr. No is Dr. YES for Spy Movie Fans

Dr. No, EON Productions first James Bond film based on Ian Fleming's sixth James Bond 007 novel gets a big YES from movie-goers at the time of release in 1962, even more so now, and has been a staple of Bond films ever since. Dr. No is Dr. Yes for spy movie fans, and new spy movie fans who are focused on Bourne and Mission: Impossible and more recent Bond films with Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig, would enjoy going back to the first James Bond film, Dr. No, to which, we think, they will also say Yes! We look at historical events going on at the time, and how the real world events fueled interest in the movie!
