S4E8: Dog Day Afternoon

This week on the free feed, we're getting into not only a titan of Heist cinema, but a titan of early Al Pacino. You can imagine which of us was practically chewing the bars of their cell waiting to get to this one.  Dog Day Afternoon is the true-ish story of a pair of men who held up a New York City bank in 1972, and every single thing that could have gone wrong went wrong. Joining us is friend of the show and all three hosts, Mattie Lubchansky! Listen to No Gods No Mayors Here! Check out Boys Weekend Here! ---- FREE PALESTINE Hey, Devon here. As you well know I've been working with a few gazan families to raise money for their daily living costs in the genocide. As a ceasefire has been announced, we hope soon plenty of Aid can get in and help alleviate the dire famine they're being subjected to. But until then, they still have to afford to eat, so we ask for you to keep helping them out, just a little longer. https://www.gofundme.com/f/a8jzz-help-me-and-my-family-get-out-of-the-gaza-strip https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-and-my-family-to-find-a-safe-place https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-maher-and-my-family-to-leave-gaza-to-belgium https://www.gofundme.com/f/htdcj-evacuating-my-family-from-gaza https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate ----- This is an unlocked bonus episode, find the rest here, on our reasonably-priced patreon! https://www.patreon.com/killjamesbond ------ WEB DESIGN ALERT Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

S4E7: Ocean's 8

In the latter half of the 2010s, hollywood invented an idea called 'feminism'. What 'Feminism' consisted of was making new movies from studio-owned IPs, cast of entirely women. One example of this phenomenon is 'Ocean's 8', a movie about Danny Ocean's sister Debbie Ocean doing a girl heist for girl riches. For some reason we spoke about this for two full hours. ----- FREE PALESTINE Hey, Devon here. As you well know I've been working with a few gazan families to raise money for their daily living costs in the genocide.

S4E6.5: Parasite [UNLOCKED]

This week, you on the free feed are getting a little treat here. We've been wanting to talk about Bong Joon Ho's Parasite for some time now, but we've never felt like we could do it alone. We've always been hunting for that perfect guest to survive the KJB Gauntlet where we invite learned academics on and then absolutely refuse to let them get a word in edgewise for anywhere up to two hours. This week, we are delighted to say that the gauntlet is being run by Olfactory Ethicist Dr Ally Louks! If you've not long since abandoned X dot com the everything app, you'll be familiar with Dr Louks and her particular area of expertise on scent as a class marker in literature, and indeed, more widely, in everything else too. Parasite itself is a movie about a rich family and a poor family. Class relations are a difficult thing to untangle, and this resulted in some viewers having trouble figuring out who exactly the titular 'parasite' is. We... have some theories. ----- FREE PALESTINE Hey, Devon here. As you well know I've been working with a few gazan families to raise money for their daily living costs in the genocide.

This is a preview of a bonus episode! find the whole thing here, on our patreon! ----- John Carpenter's Escape from New York is a classic. But John Carpenter's Escape from L.A. is almost the exact same story remade with all the sliders turned to 11. Snake Plissken is deployed into a post-Big One L.A., an area designated by the new christofascist US Government as the dumping ground for all criminals, to retrieve a superweapon stolen by the President's daughter- who was radicalised psychically by an L.A. Revolutionary leader.  Joining us to tackle this is L.A. resident and actor, Morgana Ignis! Star of Helluva Boss, Class Acts, and of course Dracula's Ex-Girlfriend! ----- Donation links for the LA Wildfires Climate change will be experienced as a series of disasters filmed on mobile phones that get progressively closer until it's your phone doing the filming. Currently, Los Angeles is experiencing a wildfire that would have been unimaginable a few decades ago.

S4E5. Ocean's 12

Welcome to Kill James Bond 2025, and welcome back to the Ocean's series! Boy, we're only one sequel in and it's already getting VERY thin on the ground here.

S4E4.5 Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones

The hosts dive deep into 'Attack of the Clones,' highlighting its political themes and the cultural backlash it faced. They hilariously critique Anakin and Padmé's relationship, the absurdities of Jedi abilities, and the irritating use of CGI. Nostalgic yet critical, they explore the quirks of the Star Wars universe, including humorous character moments and chaotic plot points. The episode also touches on representation issues, Anakin's emotional quest, and the ridiculous aspects of clone creation, all while delivering a playful critique of the film's storytelling.

S4E3.5: In Order Of Disappearance [PREVIEW]

This week on the Kill James Bond podcast we're honouring our ironclad commitment to international cinema by checking out this film from a small indie country they're calling 'Norway'. Apparently they could afford Stellan Skarsgard, so really good for them. Helping us to unpack this tale of revenge and isolation is Berlin-based artist and writer Ari Nielsson!
