About this listen
In this episode of The 007 Files, the hosts continue their discussion on revisit Goldeneye, the film that didn’t just reintroduce James Bond, but quietly rescued the franchise from irrelevance. They look at the change to Leavesden Studios and the symbolic shift away from Pinewood Studios, mirroring Bond’s own need to evolve after the Cold War.
They explore the cultural shockwave of casting Judi Dench as M, the uneasy question of whether Bond had become a Cold War relic, Jack Wade and why Felix Leiter was absent. There’s also a close look at Bond’s changing image through cars and brands, from the BMW Z3 to the return of the DB5, and the long-lasting partnership with Omega.
