    Pre-Titles Sequences of the 70s

    Welcome back... to THE BOND CORNER. Your host A. J. Black, joined by special guests, takes you on a regular journey into the expansive world of 007, looking at the books, movies, games and wider subjects around the character and his universe. In this episode, Tony is joined by recurring guest and podcaster Mark McManus for the first of an occasional series looking at Pre-Title Sequences of Bond movies across the decades. They continue with the 1970s as they discuss the lost opportunity that is Diamonds Are Forever; unpick the tonal swerve of Live and Let Die; take in the unexpected strangeness of The Man with the Golden Gun; bask in the iconic opening to The Spy Who Loved Me; and wonder quite what happened next time with Moonraker. Which one, however, do they consider the best? Host / Editor A. J. Black Guest Mark McManus Find A.

Wood tells us the remarkable story of how these came to be, his work with Amberley Museum in Sussex to keep A View to a Kill alive, and more broadly his event work with Shaken Not Stirred and the associated fan club...

    Spectre in 2020 - Pt 2

    "It's me, James... the author of all your pain..." Welcome back... to THE BOND CORNER. Your host A. J. Black, joined by special guests, takes you on a regular journey into the expansive world of 007, looking at the books, movies, games and wider subjects around the character and his universe. In this episode, the second of a two-parter, Tony focuses on the penultimate Daniel Craig film, 2015's Spectre. Recorded originally in 2020 for an earlier podcast alongside podcaster and film scholar Dr. Carl Sweeney, the premise is to examine Spectre with, at that point, 5 years distance and ahead of the arrival of No Time to Die. What has changed in their perception of the film and its on and off screen story? And what might have changed for you in the years since? Host / Editor A. J. Black Guest Carl Sweeney Find A.

    Welcome back... to THE BOND CORNER. Your host A. J. Black, joined by special guests, takes you on a regular journey into the expansive world of 007, looking at the books, movies, games and wider subjects around the character and his universe. In this episode, Tony is joined by recurring guest and podcaster Mark McManus for the first of an occasional series looking at Pre-Title Sequences of Bond movies across the decades. They start with, naturally, the 1960s as they wonder what a Dr. No sequence might look like; wonder as to the intention of From Russia With Love; observing the establishment of a template with Goldfinger; the advent of new technology in Thunderball; the grandeur of You Only Live Twice and the arrival of a new 007 in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
