Exciting. Unpredictable. Controversial. These are just a few terms to describe NO TIME TO DIE. We still have much to say about Daniel Craig's final outing as 007 and this time, we are unleashing all of our agents. For the first time ever, all 4 of the BondCast hosts, including Laird, have gathered at the roundtable for wide-ranging discussion. We talk about the whole film and whether or not "James Bond Will Return".
Since he couldn't join us for our first review of NO TIME TO DIE, our man in London Jonathan Wilkins is here to give us his in-depth review of the final Daniel Craig film. We also look towards the future for James Bond and the 007 franchise.
Hans Zimmer's first-ever James Bond soundtrack is here and BondCast is back to provide a full review. We listen to tracks and break down all the action, including the Billie Eilish title track.

We review the final film of the Daniel Craig era including the characters, cars, plot and Bond girls. Plus, all the twists and surprises, including the shocking conclusion. Expect strong opinions and debate as we share our first impressions of No Time To Die.

Timothy Dalton's first film as James Bond was also the final 007 soundtrack by legendary composer John Barry. We review the soundtrack, including contributions by pop group A-Ha and The Pretenders. We listen closely to the fusion of synth with a traditional orchestra and the classical influences Barry incorporated in this action-packed score. Look for our review of the NO TIME TO DIE soundtrack coming soon!
Timothy Dalton makes his debut as James Bond in the 15th 007 film from EON Productions in THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS. BondCast is back to review the entire film. We breakdown Dalton's first film and discuss all the elements that make a Bond film a "Bond Film": The mission, the villains, the scenery, the women and more.
Welcome back to Bondcast for our musical investigation of 1985's A View to a Kill. From the Duran Duran main theme to the classic Barry score, Laird Malamed and Jimmy Mac bring you all the classified info. As always, For Your Ears Only! (And listen a little past the last tune for a throwback audio clip.)
BondCast is back to talk about Roger Moore’s final outing as 007 in 1985’s A VIEW TO A KILL. At age 57, was it one film too many for Sir Roger? We talk about the whole movie, including Christopher Walken’s bad guy Max Zorin, Grace Jones as the exotic May Day, and Bond Girl Tanya Roberts. We share some varied takes about the overall quality of this flick, along with a little debate. Plus, we go over the plot, stunts, mechanical icebergs and horse steroids.
Laird is back to take us through the soundtrack to NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN. This non-EON Productions film features some music similar to your typical 007 soundtrack, and some vastly different. You won't find any twangy surf guitar music here! But does that help or hurt? You can decide for yourself as we present our review of composer Michael Legrand's Never Say Never Again soundtrack.
Sean Connery returned to the role of Bond in 1983's NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN. Directed by Irvin Kershner, director of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, this film was produced by Kevin McClory, outside the Cubby Broccoli/EON Productions franchise. We talk about the return of Sir Sean, Bond girl Kim Basinger, the villian Largo, and the femme fatale Fatima Blush. From Largo's video game "Domination" to the fountain pen gun, we talk about it all!
