Binge Movie Aftertaste – James Bond Retrospective w/ Matthew Goudreau and Adam Bunch: Dr No (1962) and From Russia With Love (1963)
Before Star Wars, there was Bond. James Bond. It is a film franchise that has inspired everyone in in the industry from Steven Spielberg to Christopher Nolan to Rian Johnson. Eight actors have (unofficially) played the character over its almost sixty years in existence. And there is another one coming out this April. So what better time for the Binge Movie Aftertaste to gear up and cover a franchise that has been requested for years. Myself, Adam, and Matt are going to fire through a gun barrel the entire 26 film franchise, cultivating in a review of Cary Fukunaga’s No Time To Die, which is being heralded as Daniel Craig’s final bow as the character.
By the early 60s, the character of Agent 007 had taken the world by storm in novels, comics, and a little known TV series. But when Sean Connery took the role of James Bond, its cinematic mantle had been permanently perched. 1962’s Dr No and 1963’s From Russian With Love were his debut features, and here we dissect if they were indeed the beginnings of a franchise that indeed looked to be a successful one.
From video games to why it took us this long to finally do this series, this beginning podcast pretty much does what these first two films do. Introduce you to our background with the series and see if this is a journey we are all looking forward to taking. Listen below!
