The Intrepid 007 Podcast
The Lorenzo Granger Special! The third installement of Pierce Brosnan as James Bond is my favorite as well. Here is The World Is Not Enough on That’s What She Said.
The world is on fire. Reddit is giving Wall Street a run for its money. Just like... Casino Royale? Stocks and Bonds, the 007 way, today on the show.
Joe Darlington is back because well, I love Being James Bond and I enjoy my talks with Joe! And what better topic to talk about than Diamonds?
Joe Darlington of Being James Bond fame is back to discuss No Time To Die's possible delay (again).
It's review time! What do I think of the not so new but new to me LEGO DB5? Going to have to listen to find out.
Happy new year Spy fans, and welcome to the first episode of 2021, the 50th official episode (not counting supplements and special episodes that is). This week, fellow Canadian and co-host of Another James Bond Podcast Korey Craft will be joining me to talk about an Essential Bond Skill that also falls into the #bond25fitnesschallenge : Climbing.
Direct from Instagram live, it's... Matt Auclair of the James Bond Complex! Join us for an hour of discussion about 2020, the future, fitness and spoilers for 2022.
The final straw, the cherry on top, the end of days. Its the last of the Bourne episodes. I'm foreshadowing with the title a bit, but the rest of the available Bourne material is... deceiving. Better listen to get the full story.
One month after going live with David Zaritsky to talk the #bond25fitnesschallenge I'm back on the topic with Edgar Chaput of the James Bond Complex. He posts regularly with the hashtag so I've invited him on to talk nutrition and workout ethics!
On this episode of Essential Bond Skills, we slip back to self defense and get an expert opinion from Cameron Cooper of United Defensive Tactics. Hes a Filipino Martial Arts instructor based in Ottawa with an online learning platform. Check it out at https://www.uniteddefensivetactics.com/
This is a special tribute to my Grandfather, Joseph Wilfrid Randolph Benwell, who passed this year. He was one of the few Canadian WWII veterans left. Lest we forget.
October is over, but the #bond25fitnesschallenge isn't! I may be cleansed of alcohol, but I'm nowhere near the weight I'd like to be. So time to talk psuedo science, and the next step!
Intrepid is back and this week we talk halloween looks from Spectre and the rest of the Bond series!
Also, make sure not to forget the Casino Royale Fan commentary!
Another Global James Bond Day has come and gone, and besides a new podcast or two (including the one me and my Univex co-conspirators created) we didn't get much.... Just remember I pre-recorded this one. I do not address the No Time To Die delay and I will not address it either, its been done. So enjoy some positive talk to get your October going! Don't forget to tune into the Casino Royale Fan Commentary wherever you get your podcasts!
I love Bond novels. You've heard me talk about them here, I've had guest spots on The James Bond Complex talking about John Gardener. This week its my turn to have a guest. I've invited some one with a vast knowledge of how the young adult mind works. I didn't have to go far, a slight nudge and my oldest son read, and really got into, SIlverFin. The first Young Bond, and very different from the 90s disaster that was James Bond Jr, Charlie Higson digs deep into 007's vague childhood and imagines what it must have been like for James in 1933. How does a modern boy interpret this strange world? Listen to find out!
@double0wife returns to review the 25 yer old GoldenEye! 2020 may be a bit of a wash but we must still underline the fact that this iconic masterpiece turned 25 this year. And What Does She Say?
You've heard part one yesterday on their show, The James Bond Complex. Now, the boys come on over to my show for part deux (that's two in french). We talk (mostly) about the No Time To Die trailer.
Once upon a time, I was trying to cut my teeth in the blog world and I wrote a firearms article for The James Bond Dossier. That backfired as I am far from an expert on the topic. Luckily, my guest this week is.
This week's show features The Bond Experience's David Zaritsky! We talk about the last 10+ years of the Bond Community.
Daniel Craig's latest non 007 project is the film Knives Out. I recently got my knives out for a special outing with some of my friends. We went throwing axes, but at the same time took the liberty to learn to throw other things. My buddy Matt (not the famous James Bond Complex host) brought his hand forged throwing knives and we had at it.
When it comes to 007 parodies you guys told me what was up, Austin Powers was your favorite. I get it. Mike Myers, silly costumes, sexual innuendo, its all there. But was it the best? I don't think so, and one of those contenders is Get Smart. Classic 60s spy show with silly catch phrases and gadgets, Get Smart had it all.
Hey fans I am back finally after a bit of a break to bring you a brand new episode. I avoid spoilers, chat about recent online events and hint at whats coming next. All that and more!
This week on Essential Bond Skills I'll be talking about MILSIM or Military Simulation. Whether in paintball or airsoft, this is 007 skillset helps you get that tactical feel and is 100 % customizable for Bond fans. And it can even be done on a budget!
Taking another detour away from those pesky No Time To Die spoilers, we delve into the world of spy stories aimed at a lucrative audience. Children. In this first installment, I rant about Robert Rodriguez for a while before getting to the first of four in the Spy Kids series, which features some 007 alum. Enjoy
James Bond, in Ian Fleming's novel, was a specialist in unarmed combat and self defense. So much so, his pet project was to present a manual for use within MI6. I on the other hand am not an expert, but an intermediate practitioner of Kenpo Karate. Learn all about my personal journey and why self defense is an Essential Bond Skill .
You may have seen last week's video on YouTube, you may not have. But if you want to give us a listen in the car, while working, taking part in the #bond25fitnesschallenge well, your ears can thank me, because here is an hour an a half of me, Edgar and Matt from the James Bond Complex, Bud West from the Bond Brain and Ray Kromphold from The Bond Armory. Enjoy! See you next week for Ian Fleming's Birthday!
The following preview will be in French only.
Bonjour à tous et voici mon tout premier episode francophone. Enregistré au moment d'une game de Poker entre amis, c'est une belle table ronde entre amis. On ajse de 007 bien sur mais aussi de la situation générale qu'on vit.
Back in October, I offered a triple review; Shaken, the official 007 cocktail book, Licence To Cook, by Edward Biddulph, and Omnibus 001. I did a follow up episode to Shaken and a full interview with Edward Biddulph, and now its time to go in depth on Omnibus 001. One of many collections of James Bond serial comics, this one concentrates on Flemings early works, drawn by John McLusky.
In the last (for now) episode of That's What She Said, @double0wife and I review the final (for now) outing of Daniel Craig as James Bond. The girls! The locations! The ... manicures (again)?
The snow is melting, the grass is growing, we need to stay far from each other, but that doesn't mean you can't plan for the good times. Taking a cue from my blog on WordPress, i'll be looking back and expanding episodes on what I believe are essential Bond skills. We're starting with golf, an affordable Bond activity you can do with your fellow community members, or even solo!
Now it is time to complete the trilogy! The Bourne Ultimatum, both the film and novel were the final installments in their respective mediums. Robert Ludlum's final Bourne novel and what we thought was Matt Damon's last outing as Bourne (more on that another time). Let's dive deep into another exciting comparison.
This week on the show its back to Jason Bourne for the Bourne Supremacy, the second film and novel. This time, its way off. No shared plot and plenty of twists and turns.
So after a week of teases and deception you've come to realize you were duped by Joseph Darlington of Being James Bond! Joe is a big fan of this show and I of his, so it was natural that we had to sit down and talk. Using GoldenEye as a start point, we discussed the cultural impact of 007, the evolution of competing franchises and of course whats next for 007. Hope you enjoy the listen and I hope you've watched it on YouTube as well.
We stray from the path of Bond this week to delve into the world of another JB, Jason Bourne. Or David Webb? Or Cain? CAin is to Delta as Delta is to Cain? Or is it Carlos? I demystify the differences between the novel and the 2002 film in a new series.
Is this déjà-vu? No! its a new episode of everyone's favorite segment, #thatswhatshesaid. We are diving into Quantum of Solace, the second outing for Daniel Craig as 007 and arguably the weaker of the series. But why? @double0wife and I discuss and proclaim our thoughts.
It has been my dream for years to have my own poker table and recently, thanks to some extra lumber lying around, I made it a reality. Using all of my skills, however mediocre they may be, I designed a copycat logo of the one used from 2006's Casino Royale and created version 1 of my table. I kept costs low and got an amazing result.
Casino Royale was the first movie me and my darling wife saw in theaters together. It marked the beginning of my collecting, the reignited childhood passion of 007, and of course the start of a love that has gone on all this time.
My wife doesnt have the same passion for James Bond as I do, so her opinions are quite different in regards to this universe. I have taken several of her quotes and will be turning it into a fun look back at Bond movies of yesterday, starting with Casino Royale.
While news and rumors about No Time to Die trickle in, one thing was sure on Global James Bond day, 007 will be gallivanting around in no less than 4 Aston Martins. A mix of classic and current cars, the announcement confirms a car yet to be scene in the spoilers.
As I ran down in episode 009, there exists books in the realm of Bond that aren't novels or picture books related to films. We talked about Licence to Cook and Omnibus 001 (which granted is a comic) but we also talked about Shaken. This cleverly named cocktail book is the subject of this episode. Pour yourself a martini and enjoy this review.
As you may have heard, we are all going to join in celebrate World James Bond day on October the 5th. It falls luckily on a Saturday! So whether you're planning on popping an oldie but a goodie into the DVD player, having a viewing party with friends, or following along with the many planned events, we want to hear about it! Enjoy this weeks episode!
I have realized that my episode descriptions are somewhat thin compared to my colleagues. So on today's episode I will be reviewing not one, not two, but three different books! I have been looking to acquire these for some time now, and I am very happy to have them in my possession. Which ones are they? Going to have to listen to find out.
In this 3rd installment of Feeling like Bond, I talk about incidental 007 moments in daily life.
This is the second part of Feeling Like Bond where I discuss the physical aspects of the 007 life as I see them.
This week we look at feeling like Bond and in particular, the fashion of James Bond in the films and books and how simple additions to personal style can make you feel like our favorite secret agent.
On episode 3 of The Intrepid 007 Podcast we discuss the vices of our favorite spy, James Bond in both the literary, film and its real world applications and downfalls.
Episode 2 of The Intrepid 007 Podcast will look at License Expired, a colelction of Short Stories and Forever and a Day by Anthony Horowirz
