About this listen

Hosts Mike Kalinowski and Brad Gilmore team up in this comprehensive breakdown of the longest running film series in the history of cinema. In Bond, James Bond, they explore the cinematic history of the James Bond collection to celebrate everything it got right and reflect on everything it got wrong.

The complete cinematic biographies of James Bond. Since his initial portrayal by Sean Connery, James Bond has become a timeless icon worldwide. Now comes the first-ever era-by-era breakdown of the much-loved international spy - on and off the silver screen. Following the men who portrayed James Bond - Daniel Craig, Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Dalton, Roger Moore, and Sean Connery - listeners will discover the characteristics that made him resonate, as well as the less glamorous relics that made him evolve.

For fans of the Ian Fleming James Bond novels and movies. Cinephiles and fans can finally unscramble some of the best action movies of all time. Covering everything from cars to court cases, Bond, James Bond looks at the evolution of the 007 movies from all angles. Featuring bonus chapters on Bond women and musical scores, in this book you'll also find: the origins of 007 in the early James Bond books; off-screen politics, drama, and movements that shifted the series trajectory; and the "other" James Bond: comic books and animated series.

Very welll written. Kept me intrigued and entertained. I have been a James Bond fan since 1969. I have read all the Fleming's 007 novels and watch at the cinemas from Diamonds Are Forever onwards to No Time To Die. Extremely sad to see Daniel Craig finish his fantastic performance as James Bond.

Outstanding documentary
