  • Resumen

  • Hosts Zach and James delve into the James Bond film and literary universe, one subject at a time. Throughout Bondcast we’ll examine all sides of 007, framing them in their changing cultural, historical, and political contexts. We’ll mine the source material for both the obvious and the obscure, and as we learn more about Bond, our hope is that we’ll also learn more about the world he inhabits. Tune in for film trivia tidbits, historical context, cultural hot-takes, and bad accents.

    Episode 004: The Architects of our pain
    Sep 1 2024

    "The distance between insanity and genius is measured by success" - Elliot Carver, Tomorrow Never Dies.


    What would 007 be without a deliciously evil arch-villain with a world-threatening plot in need of foiling? Bond villains tend to be ugly inside and out, cruel, power hungry megalomaniacs that take the form of whatever the times deem most unworthy.

    In this episode we look at what identifies a villain as being so darn evil, and the problems that result from painting with such a wide brush. Finally, we wonder if there are any real-life Bond villains among us among the tech barons, dictators, and media magnates that kind of (definitely) fit the bill.


    Produced by: Luke "Hollywood" Higginson

    Theme Music: Dr. Jordan Bimm

    Episode 003: Bond Girls, or Bond Women?
    Aug 18 2024

    The Bond girl is iconic. The women who cross paths with 007 are always beautiful, periodically horribly named, and frequently doomed. The trope is a sexist one, and has faced scrutiny as society has modernized. We discuss the genesis of the Bond Girl, the role she plays in the books and films, and the fate of the actresses that take up the role. Do the recent films' treatment of a tougher more independent Bond Girl make up for decades of bad writing (and dubbing)?

    Episode 002: Who is James Bond? (part two)
    Aug 4 2024

    Who IS James Bond? We needed a second episode to fully answer this one. This time we're looking at what 007 is supposed to be like, both in terms of his physical description, and his character traits, and how that's informed his various castings on screen. Finally, we'll look at what qualifies someone to play James Bond — as the world changes, does Bond stay the same? Could 007 ever be black, gay, female, or even... American? Tune in to find out.
