Alex and James are joined by composer and friend of the show Richey Rynkowski to discuss the best of Bond soundtracks.

We speak to Richey about his experiences as a composer (including some brushes with Bond), and his thoughts on the highs and lows of the soundtracks found throughout the series.

We also discuss the declining use of theme tunes, including in the Daniel Craig films - a topic that takes us on quite the tangent, and definitely into 'beyond' territory.

The long wait is finally over. After six years, more than half a decade, 72 full months... you can finally find out what we think of No Time To Die.

This is not our full review, which will save for a much later viewing, but our initial impressions of the long-awaited 25th James Bond film and Daniel Craig's final outing. Needless to say, there are spoilers abound!

We discuss the highs and lows of No Time To Die, speculate about the future of 007, and try to process our surprisingly mixed feelings at what is perhaps the boldest Bond film to date.

Alex and James are joined by special guest Matt for the first out a new series of episodes in which we look back at the tenure of each James Bond actor.

We start with Timothy Dalton, divisive in his own way but beloved by many fans. Dalton took over the role at perhaps the most interesting moment in the series, and had just two films to demonstrate his Bondness.

What was Dalton's legacy and how does he compare to his fellow Bonds?

Something special for you this time, and the perfect follow-up to our Ranking The Bond Cars episode.

Alex and James are joined by Alan Porter, author of The James Bond Lexicon and member of the Ian Fleming Foundation - the group that tracks down, restores and exhibits all the vehicles used in the Bond movies.

We speak to Porter about his work chronicling the world of 007 in the lexicon and the surprising stories behind the Bond In Motion exhibits and where some of the most iconic Bond cars have been found, including the f**king big lorry from Licence to Kill.

Alex and James are rejoined by friend of the show Sam for our third ranking episode. This time, we're talking Bond cars.

Listen in as we debate which is the greatest Bond car, taking one from each of the 24 films and judging them based on appearance, gadgetry, use in action sequences, whether or not 007 drives it, and a ton of other criteria we may or may not have been making up as we went.

Following our review of Anthony Horowitz's debut Bond novel Trigger Mortis, we take a look at his second 007 story.

007 is dead, and an up-and-coming young agent (one James Bond) has been sent to investigate. Listen in as we walk through this tale of intrigue set in the south of France built around a gangsters, a cruise ship with plenty of fire extinguishers, a brilliant older woman character, a great NotFelix, some strong action sequences, and a Spider-Man style villain.

Spoiler alert if you haven't read the book.

James and Alex tackle their first book review: Trigger Mortis by Anthony Horowitz. SPOILER WARNING: We basically break down the whole book. 

In this non-Fleming Bond novel written in Fleming's style, 007 must protect a British racing legend from Russian assassins during a dangerous race on the Nurburgring - but that's not actually the plot.

We talk about Horowitz's blend of action and insight into Bond, his attempt at creating an iconic Bond villain, the return of Pussy Galore and more.
