Ep. 62 Bond In The 80s: Part I

From crossbow bolt-ruined dives to detective-dispatching poison-tipped butterflies, the final run of Roger Moore as Commander James Bond was infused with the thrilling drive of 1980's action cinema. We welcome back John Arminio to tackle this transitional era of the 007 franchise: Moore's last three movies (For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy and A View to a Kill) as well as the rival Bond film Never Say Never Again, starring Sean Connery and released by Warner Brothers to go head-to-head with Eon's long-running franchise. In this episode of our film-by-film examination of the entire Bond series, you'll learn the identity of Arminio's favorite henchman, the nickname of Patick Macnee's jockey father, why Kevin McClory's cash-grab of a competing Bond movie was a blessing in disguise and much more! This is Part One of "James Bond in the 80's." Part Two will deal with the Timothy Dalton-starring films that wrapped up the decade. The Pink Smoke site:
