  • サマリー

  • Hosts Zach and James delve into the James Bond film and literary universe, one subject at a time. Throughout Bondcast we’ll examine all sides of 007, framing them in their changing cultural, historical, and political contexts. We’ll mine the source material for both the obvious and the obscure, and as we learn more about Bond, our hope is that we’ll also learn more about the world he inhabits. Tune in for film trivia tidbits, historical context, cultural hot-takes, and bad accents.

  • Episode 005: Keep your friends close and your Henchmen closer
    2024/09/28

    Behind every great villain, there's a great henchperson. You need a good one if you're going to hatch an world-threatening evil plan. Make sure they're a kinda bizarre, unwaveringly loyal, and willing to take a little abuse. Hopefully they can take out that pesky 007, or at least have a really cool death scene trying.

    Plus, Bondcast presents the inaugural HENCHIES awards, the only award show dedicated to excellence in henchpersonry.

  • Episode 004: The Architects of our pain
    2024/09/01

    "The distance between insanity and genius is measured by success" - Elliot Carver, Tomorrow Never Dies.


    What would 007 be without a deliciously evil arch-villain with a world-threatening plot in need of foiling? Bond villains tend to be ugly inside and out, cruel, power hungry megalomaniacs that take the form of whatever the times deem most unworthy.

    In this episode we look at what identifies a villain as being so darn evil, and the problems that result from painting with such a wide brush. Finally, we wonder if there are any real-life Bond villains among us among the tech barons, dictators, and media magnates that kind of (definitely) fit the bill.

  • Episode 003: Bond Girls, or Bond Women?
    2024/08/18

    The Bond girl is iconic. The women who cross paths with 007 are always beautiful, periodically horribly named, and frequently doomed. The trope is a sexist one, and has faced scrutiny as society has modernized. We discuss the genesis of the Bond Girl, the role she plays in the books and films, and the fate of the actresses that take up the role. Do the recent films' treatment of a tougher more independent Bond Girl make up for decades of bad writing (and dubbing)?
