It's the movie the queer James Bond podcast was born to cover! Daniel Craig is queer in Luca Guadagnino's Queer.

We've finally reached our final movie in our Bond movie rewatch, but have we saved the best for last?

No. No, we have not.

Big boys blast bad boys in Guy Ritchie's historically innacurate true historical fiction.

We wrap up our spooky season of horror movies starring iconic Bond women with Halle Berry in the psychological supernatural thriller Gothika.

Enter the Theater of Blood for a camp horror classic starring Dame Diana Rigg and Dame Vincent Price!

For October we're checking in with three horror movies starring iconic Bond women, starting with the Famke Janssen 1989 action horror Deep Rising!

Timothy Dalton dons the bow tie for a confusing dip into the 80s, and Shane and Andrew offer an in-depth critical reappraisal of Necros the henchman.

Our attention turns to the work of John Le Carre in the 60s spy classic starring Richard Burton!

A special bonus episode looking at the Bond-themed runways in the third episode of the first season of RuPaul's Drag Race Global All Stars!

Shane and Andrew check out the last Bond novel completed by creator Ian Fleming and ask the key questions: Could Christopher Lee have played Paco 'Pistols' Scaramanga? And which Mary Goodnight is better, the book or the movie?

Akiko Wakabayashi played a thankless role in You Only Live Twice, but she gets to shine in Toho's 1964 kaiju classic Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster. Shane and Andrew wade into the monster mash to check out the most spy-adjacent kaiju movie!

Alfred Hitchock's take on Scottish writer John Buchan's adventure hero Richard Hannay serves as a prototype of sorts for the movie version of Bond. Shane and Andrew offer their best Mae West impressions (it sort of makes sense in context) as they climb the 39 Steps.

Roger Moore's second outing as Bond is Ian Fleming's last novel starring the super spy. It's a party in the South China Seas with Christopher Lee, Herve Villechaise, Britt Eklund, and you!

For the annual Pride episode, Shane and Andrew revisit one of Daniel Craig's trashiest movies, the 2003 Angelina Jolie action movie Lara Croft: Tomb Raider!

Shane and Andrew dive deep into the last Bond novel completed in Ian Fleming's lifetime, You Only Live Twice.

Content warning: This episode contains mention of suicide and racism.

And Shane wept, for there were no more Austin Powers movies to cover. For his birthday episode this year, Shane made Andrew watch the James Bond homage episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine; "Our Man Bashir."

James Bond heads to Japan in the movie that introduced the West to ninjas -- and perpetuated the awful tradition of yellowface.

Shane and Andrew check out The Ipcress File, the first of the "anti-Bond" spy movies, starring Michael Caine as Harry Palmer.

Shane and Andrew check out four episodes from the fourth season of 60s action comedy series The Avengers, starring Bond veterans Diana Rigg and Patrick Macnee.

Shane and Andrew fan-cast new movie adaptations of three more Ian Fleming Bond novels; Thunderball, The Spy Who Loved Me, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

George Lazenby is back, back, back, albeit very briefly, in this wild and trashy 80s Bond-inspired spy thriller starring John Stamos, Vanity, and Gene Simmons.

He might never be Bond, but Henry Cavill gets to play a very Bond-adjacent character in the 2024 box office bomb Argylle. Shane and Andrew share their thoughts on this very strange confection for better (Catherine O'Hara) and worse (The Beatles?).

Shane and Andrew explore the novel version of On Her Majesty's Secret Service -- and talk Traitors!

With the announcement of a new James Bond actor expected to take place in 2024, Shane and Andrew count down their list of their favorite contenders for the role.

Shane and Andrew celebrate the holidays with everyone's favourite Christmas movie, 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service. George Lazenby's only outing as Bond is a very different type of Bond movie and one of the franchise's most stylish, but is Lazenby as bad as he's reputed to be?

Also in this episode, our hosts discuss 007 Road to a Million on Prime, and review Bowmore's Aston Martin whisky!

Shane and Andrew revisit the classic (?), iconic (?), feminist (!?) action movie Charlie's Angels, starring Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang takes a Halloween horror detour with 1986 camp classic Vamp, starring one of our favourite Bond women, Grace Jones!

Angelina Jolie almost had her own spy franchise with Salt, a movie and role that nearly went to Tom Cruise. What went wrong?

Shane and Andrew unpack the many problems in Ian Fleming's least popular Bond novel and find themselves staring at the thesis at the heart of this whole podcast.

DVD board games were a thing in the early 2000s. Andrew and Shane unbox a 2004 "007 Edition" of the movie trivia board game Scene It and go head-to-head to test their James Bond knowledge!

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang returns with a tale of billionaires, submarines, and hubris. It's the 1977 Roger Moore classic The Spy Who Loved Me!

Pride Month is here and it's time for another camp classic with a Bond leading man! This time it's Pierce Brosnan's turn to humiliate himself as he honks his way through the ABBA jukebox musical Mamma Mia!

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang rounds out its coverage of the Austin Powers trilogy -- and its spy spoof season -- with 2002's Goldmember, the movie that made Spectre a joke several years before Spectre was even written.

Spy spoof movie season continues on Kiss Kiss Bang Bang with Leslie Nielsen's Spy Hard. It's a dumb movie, but is it somehow better than Johnny English, the dumb movie from the actual Bond movie writers?

Spy spoof season continues with Rowan Atkinson's Bond parody -- from the actual writers of the Bond movies. Treason!

We're kicking off our countdown to the last Austin Powers movie by checking out some other classic spy spoofs from the 90s and beyond, starting with 2015's Paul Fiege comedy Spy, starring Melissa McCarthy.

It's the movie that almost killed the Bond franchise, but how does it hold up today? Shane and Andrew revisit the final Brosnan Bond movie Die Another Day to reappraise Halle Berry's Jinx, the campy villains Graves and Frost, and thatMadonna theme.

Shane and Andrew provide live commentary as their gaymer friends Jomar and Levi play the re-released GoldenEye 007 on the Nintendo Switch. It was a game that revolutionized the first person shooter, but how does it hold up today, and how closely does it evoke the GoldenEye movie and the world of Bond?

We've watched the movies based on the novel, now it's time for the novel based on the screenplay, Ian Fleming (and friends') 1961 novel Thunderball, perhaps the horniest of the Bond novels.

Shane and Andrew dive deep into one of the weirdest Bond pastiches ever made, the 1960s Italian spy comedy OK Connery, starring Sean Connery's brother Neil Connery as hypnotist plastic surgeon Dr Neil Connery--and co-starring a whole host of Bond movie performers!

Thunderball is such a classic, Sean Connery made it twice. It didn't work out so great the second time. Shane and Andrew explore the strange story of Never Say Never Again, the unofficial Bond movie that almost created a new franchise.

We're back for a new year with an all-time classic, the 1965 Sean Connery movie Thunderball. We hit the highs (Fiona Volpe) the lows (James Bond's spa break) and the Junkanoo too!

Roger Moore is The Chief in the iconic classic of British cinema, Spice World. Is it a Bond movie? Probably not. Is it a good movie? Possibly not. Is it an amazing experience and well worth your time? Listen and find out!

Shane and Andrew count down their picks of the best outfits and fashions in Bond movie history. Suits, swimsuits, beautiful gowns, it's all here -- and inevitably, they disagree enormously and somehow come together in the end.

Henry Cavill may never be Bond -- but maybe he's played the part already, or pretty close to it. Shane and Andrew check out the once-and-future Superman's 60s spy thriller The Man from UNCLE(co-starring aspiring celebrity cannibal Armie Hammer), with Cavill in the very Bond-esque role of Ian Fleming's Napoleon Solo.

For the milestone 50th edition of the queer James Bond podcast, Shane and Andrew revisit Daniel Craig's troubled sophomore effort as Bond, Quantum of Solace. All these years later, will it go down as smooth as a glass of cold water or will they choke on its nonsense like they're guzzling crude?

Bond actors Sean Connery and Ralph Fiennes star in one of the most derided movies ever made, 1998's movie adaptation of the cult British spy series The Avengers. The movie is widely regarded as a disaster, and Shane and Andrew are here to confirm that, yes, it is truly terrible. Listener discretion is advised.

Shane and Andrew make their dream cast suggestions for modern Casino Royale-style adaptations of the novels Dr. No and Goldfinger and the short story collection For Your Eyes Only, and pick a new frontrunner for the role of James Bond!

To mark the official 60th anniversary of the release of Dr. No, we review and recap "Bond Night" on the celebrity dance show Dancing with the Stars on Disney+!

#jamesbond #dwts #dancingwiththestars #bondnight #007 

The last Roger Moore Bond movie (and the last Lois Maxwell Bond movie) gets the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang whiplash treatment as Shane and Andrew try to decide if they love or hate this movie. One thing is for sure; Grace Jones as May Day reigns supreme.

Shane and Andrew review the short stories From A View To A Kill, For Your Eyes Only, Quantum of Solace, Risico, and the Hildrebrandt Rarity and discover a journey deep into Ian Fleming's evolving psyche and some incredible underrated Bond women!

Did Michael Mann make a secret Bond movie with the 1996 action extravaganza The Rock, starring Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage? We investigate this popular fan theory, offer our assessment, and make a shocking discovery: Is No Time To Die a Stanley Goodspeed movie?

Shane and Andrew count down their favourite Bond gadgets and cars from across the 25 official Eon movies -- and once again manage to disagree extensively, but never about Goldfinger.

Bond enters the 80s, and it's both everything you feared it could be and also strangely muted after the excess of Moonraker! Shane and Andrew talk stunts, scuba, Topol, and the horrors of Bibi Dahl.

Shane and Andrew break down the Bond novel Goldfinger to see how it compares to the iconic movie. 

For Pride Month we catch up with one of the campest, queerest movies to ever star a James Bond -- 1980's Flash Gordon, starring Timothy Dalton as Prince Barin. It's a sumptuous, ridiculous movie full of glamour, action, and s-e-x.

Michelle Yeoh steals the show and Jonathan Pryce devours the furniture in a late 90s tale of media manipulation, Tomorrow Never Dies. It's one of Shane's favourites. It's one of Andrew's... not favourites. Hit play to pump us for more information.

Our annual dip into the Austin Powers canon continues with the time travel shenanigans of The Spy Who Shagged Me. Pour yourself a warm cup of coffee and settle in.

The greatest song, the greatest style, the greatest henchperson, the greatest Bond woman, the greatest Bond? Shane and Andrew revisit the iconic movie Goldfinger to see if it holds up to its reputation for greatness -- and its reputation for being extremely problematic.

He's the man who almost destroyed James Bond -- and maybe created the roadmap for Bond's reinvention. Shane and Andrew revisit 2002's The Bourne Identity to complain about baggy sweaters, appreciate Matt Damon's twunkishness, and explain how the Bourne movies tie into Zoolander.

Shane and Andrew continue their rundown of Fleming's original novels with Dr. No, the book that became the first Bond movie! There's a centipede, a squid, some crabs, a lot of talk about roseate spoonbills, and a GOSHDARN DRAGON!

How big is Big? Is King our queen? Will we say yes to No? What is the importance of being Ernst?  Join Shane and Andrew as they rate the Bond movie bad guys from worst to best... at being worst.

Shane and Andrew turn their attention to the 1986 Penny Marshall spy comedy Jumpin' Jack Flash, starring Whoopi Goldberg and featuring fleeting cameos by just about every 80s TV comedian. It's a gas gas gas.

Ten years on from the release of the middle child of Craig Bond movies, we look back on Skyfall to see how it holds up, from Academy Award-winning song to dodgy CGI komodos. 

Tamara Dobson returns as Cleopatra Jones in a Blaxploitation spy movie that takes the drugs-busting action to Hong Kong. There are pleasant surprises in store, and some incredible fashions, but the villain is just as problematic as last time!
