Things are heating up as we reach the final act of our Goldeneye Review. After a ride on Alec Trevelyan's armoured train, we end up in the Caribbean for the final showdown. With the briefest of glimpses of Bond's new BMW, we discover mad little Alec's secret base hidden beneath a lake. Finishing up with a brutal and frantic fistfight between two of Her Majesty's finest, 006 vs 007, we ask the question: Did our boy Pierce do us proud with his first stab at playing James Bond? Find out on this week's episode of James Bond Radio.

We're back with the second part of our Goldeneye review. This week we enter Q's lab, pay a visit to St. Petersburg to meet CIA contact Jack Wade, and our old friend with the limp, Valentin Zukovsky. We encounter a rather nasty woman in a spa, run into an old friend in a graveyard of statues and get involved in a car chase at the wheel of a tank. What more could you want? Our deep dive into Pierce Brosnan's debut 007 film continues.

It's a new world...with new enemies...and new threats...but you can still depend on one man! It's time to take Bond into the 90s with a look at Pierce Brosnan's debut 007 film, Goldeneye. It's got Bond back in his Aston Martin DB5, it's got an iconic henchwoman, it's got Desmond Llewelyn as Q, it's got a new M, it's got a belter of a theme song, and it's got Martin Campbell at the helm, but does Bond have what it takes to thrive in a post Cold War world? Find out on this week's episode of James Bond Radio.

This week, John Williams comes at you solo style for this week's "The Music of Bond." For all you Licence To Kill fans out there, we welcome singer and producer of 'Dirty Love' - Tim Feehan. Some might call this the ultimate 80s bar room brawl soundtrack, others might call it John Williams' personal theme tune, whatever you decide to call it, Dirty Love never fails to put a smile on your face. Until Tom & Chris return next week with their review of Goldeneye, enjoy a little dirty love with Tim Feehan. 

JBR's man in New Jersey, Jack Lugo, steps in for Tom & Chris this week, with a killer interview with Dennis Calero. As the artist behind Dynamite Comics' recent graphic novel adaptation of Casino Royale (alongside writer Van Jansen), Dennis has a great insight on the classic world of 007.

Bond 25 has it's new director! A tweet posted to the official James Bond account reads: "Michael G Wilson, Barbara Broccoli and Daniel Craig announced today that Bond 25 will begin filming at Pinewood Studios on 4 March 2019 under the helm of director Cary Joji Fukunaga, with a worldwide release date of 14 February 2020." "We are delighted to be working with Cary. His versatility and innovation make him an excellent choice for our next James Bond adventure." said Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.

Oh my goodness me! On this week's edition of JBR we're joined by Bibi Dahl herself, Lynn-Holly Johnson. We hear all about her days as a competitive athlete, her run-ins with Steven Spielberg and of course her time working on For Your Eyes Only.   Do not miss this episode of James Bond Radio. Now...go put your clothes on and we'll buy you an ice cream ;-)

On today's episode of The Music of Bond we're joined by Richard Craft. As John Barry's agent, he has some killer stories about his time working with him.   An obsessive Bond fan himself, Richard talks about John Barry's work on The Incredibles, Bond films that almost had a Barry score and much more. Don't miss this one folks!

In today's episode we go deep on Mission Impossible: Fallout, a truly spectacular film featuring some jaw dropping stunts. Our man at MI6 has a huge task on his hands when it comes to Bond 25.   With the success of Ethan Hunt's latest adventure, the action movie bar has been well and truly raised. But what does that mean for 007?

This week, JBR returns to conclude our Timothy Dalton retrospective. We'll be choosing our favourite action scenes, the coolest Bond moments and much more.   We also discuss more about this week's Danny Boyle news. 

We certainly weren't expecting to see this news today. Danny Boyle has exited Bond 25 due to “creative differences.” Making the announcement on Twitter the post read - “Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli and Daniel Craig today announced that due to creative differences Danny Boyle has decided to no longer direct Bond 25.” We decided to jump on the mic and discuss today's news, in what is a very unexpected emergency podcast.

This week, we're taking a look back at Timothy Dalton's best bits! We’ll be exploring all of our favourite Tim moments from his ‘Bond…James Bonds’ to his M scenes, his Q scenes and his Moneypenny scenes. This is going to be an unmissable episode for the Timmy fans out there. So grab your Vodka Martini, put your feet up and prepare for a double helping of Dalton.

This week JBR was invited onto the Penny Smith DriveTime Show on London's TalkRADIO to discuss Bond...and more specifically the latest resurgence of the Idris Elba rumours. You can tune in to TalkRADIO around the world at TalkRadio.co.uk
