Big Fan from across the Pond

I have absolutely loved the episodes with John and Dan Thomas and I’m currently working my way through the earlier episodes. Such a fun podcast and gave me a better appreciation for the Bond films…just not the Daniel Craig ones.

RPG - whiz ,

Simply the BEST

John Rain’s Smershpod (and Wheezing Groaning Pod) have provided me with hours of laughter and endless joy hearing him and his guests dive into the history & hilarity of the films and TV I grew up with (and many I didn’t). Hands down my favorite pods, bar none. (Jon Owen/Steam Battalions).

They live in parking lots!!!

Thank you John for broadening my appreciation of all bond movies I love with your wonderful sense of humor and for making me aware of Nomads as now my life is infinitely improved! Please do Commando (the movie!) at some point!!!
