    Goldeneye at 30: The Film That Revived and Reset James Bond pt 3 | The 007 Files S3 E013

    This is part three of our three-episode examination of Goldeneye. Bill Koenig, Javi Trujillo, and David Leigh start with Goldeneye 007, a game that didn’t merely succeed but rewired expectations. It showed what a film tie-in could be, helped define the console shooter, and introduced an entire generation to James Bond through split-screen multiplayer rather than cinema screens. From there, the discussion turns to Pierce Brosnan. With distance, his Bond successfully carried the franchise through the post–Cold War vacuum and restored Bond’s cultural relevance in the 1990s. Related to that is how fans appear to have cooled towards Daniel Craig’s Bond in the years since No Time to Die. Martin Campbell’s role is examined, as is that of Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli as Cubby handed over the reigns.

    Goldeneye at 30: The Film That Revived and Reset James Bond pt 2 | The 007 Files S3 E012

    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.

    Goldeneye at 30: The Film That Revived and Reset James Bond pt 1 | The 007 Files S3 E011

    Bill Koenig, David Leigh, and Javi Trujillo mark the 30th anniversary of Goldeneye by revisiting the moment James Bond returned to the big screen and reminding audiences why it mattered. They explore the film’s release in 1995, its immediate impact on the franchise, and how its box office success reshaped Bond’s future after years in the wilderness. The discussion moves into the realities of production, from budget constraints to the risks involved in relaunching 007 for a post–Cold War world. Personal memories of first viewings and early fan excitement blend with reflections on how conventions helped build momentum around the film. Attention is also given to the iconic dam jump, a stunt that reset expectations for Bond action, and the controversial but influential score by Eric Serra. They also examine the evolving importance of title sequences, shaped by Daniel Kleinman, and why Goldeneye still stands as a defining chapter in Bond history.

    Celebrating SPECTRE at 10 - part 2 | The 007 Files S3 E010

    The second half of our Licence to Legacy deep-dive sees co-hosts Javi Trujillo, Bill Koenig, and David Leigh return to SPECTRE a decade later to explore how the film sits in the Craig era’s legacy. This time we wonder whether bringing back Blofeld and SPECTRE truly delivered the creative spark the filmmakers were aiming for, and we discuss the scene inspired by Colonel Sun and whether it sets a precedent. From the much-publicised yet underwhelming “world record” explosion to the Rome car chase that never quite lands, we revisit several moments that fell short of their promise.The Sony hacks inevitably come up as we look at how they shaped rewrites and coloured the film’s reception. We also explore the decision to retrofit the Craig films into a single overarching storyline, the two-part narrative John Logan originally planned, and how Daniel Craig’s “slash my wrists” comment took on a life of its own.

    Celebrating SPECTRE at 10 - part 1 | The 007 Files S3 E009

    In this Licence to Legacy episode co-hosts Javi Trujillo, Bill Koenig, and David Leigh revisit SPECTRE on its 10th anniversary of its release. We start with our first viewings back in 2015 and how our opinions have shifted after a decade of rewatching, reflection, and franchise changes. The conversation explores how SPECTRE performed at the box office compared to Skyfall and how Mexico’s tax credits influenced the film’s colourful opening sequence. We dive into the return of the gunbarrel to the beginning of the movie, why it mattered to fans, and whether or not Amazon should consider experimenting with gunbarrel placement. Thomas Newman’s score gets a close look as we compare its reuse of Skyfall motifs and, if Sam Smith's theme is from the point of view of James Bond, come up with the answer to just why his voice is so high pitched.

    Exploring 007's Britain with writer Edward Biddulph | The 007 Files S3 E008

    In this episode we’re joined by Edward Biddulph to explore the real-world Britain behind James Bond. His new book, The James Bond Lover’s Guide to Britain, brings together locations from Fleming’s novels, the films, and Fleming’s own life — all chosen with one thing in mind: places anyone can actually visit. We dive into the adventure of visiting these sites as Edward talks about the thrill of standing at a location from his favourite Bond film, and the memories of growing up in Kent where he first realised that Bond’s world overlapped with his own. Listen in, enjoy the stories, and if you want to dig deeper into 007’s Britain, pick up the book.

  7. 40 years of A View to a Kill: a look back at Roger Moore’s final mission | The 007 Files S3 E07

    40 years of A View to a Kill: a look back at Roger Moore’s final mission | The 007 Files S3 E07

    Licence to Legacy: It’s been 40 years since A View to a Kill was released — Roger Moore’s final outing as James Bond — and this week we look back at one of the most divisive entries in the series. After a brief detour to the Mexico Grand Prix, we dive into the film’s release and reception, sharing personal memories of seeing A View to a Kill for the first time and how opinions have changed - if they have - over the decades. We explore John Barry’s score and Duran Duran’s title song, the film’s unique tone, and how it captured the glossy excess of the 1980s. The conversation turns to the Bond women — from Tanya Roberts to Grace Jones’ performance as May Day — and the sometimes volatile chemistry on set. We also discuss Christopher Walken’s chilling turn as Max Zorin. Looking beyond the film, we reflect on Roger Moore’s final mission as 007, how he proved the series could thrive after Sean Connery, and what his long tenure says about age, legacy, and the evolution of Bond. There’s even time to touch on Lois Maxwell’s final appearance as Moneypenny, Patrick Macnee's portrayal of Sir Godfrey Tibbett, and the in-jokes, excess, and self-parody that make A View to a Kill such curious entry in the Bond franchise. From its polarising reception to its lasting place in Bond history, we ask: four decades on, is A View to a Kill any better than we remember - or not?

    How Richard Maibaum helped define James Bond — but never got the credit he deserves ft. writer & producer Lee Goldberg | The 007 Files S3 E06

    Richard Maibaum helped define James Bond — but did he ever get the credit he truly deserved? In this episode of The 007 Files, Bill Koenig talks to writer, producer and New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg, whose 2022 book The James Bond Films 1962–1989: Interviews with the Actors, Writers and Producers collects his remarkable 1980s interviews with the people who built 007’s world — from screenwriters and directors to the actors themselves. Goldberg shares how his first major interview, a candid conversation with Richard Maibaum, opened the door to years of insider access to Bond. He recalls meeting Roger Moore on set in San Francisco, where the encounter took an unexpected turn with an unforgettable perspective of 007 himself. We explore Maibaum’s immense but under-recognised influence on the Bond films that continues to this day. Along the way, we look at the 1988 writers’ guild strike, the curious world of product placement, and the ever-changing style and tone of the Bond films. It’s a revealing, sometimes hilarious conversation about the people who shaped 007 from behind the scenes — and a reminder that even the world’s best-known secret agent depends on those who put the words in his mouth.
