"Glass Onion" - Daniel Craig Detour 1:14:25

1 year ago1:14:25

1:14:25

Hello dear listeners! It's another impromptu release. Some astute listeners may think they've already downloaded a Glass Onion review hosted by Edgar and Jason. They would be correct. However, some copyright issues related to the eponymous tune resulted in the episode being taken down shortly after release, to say nothing of Edgar spending 2023 rather lazily and never fixing the issue. But it's a new year, so what better time to give this episode a second lease on life? It's basically the same as 12 months ago, except for a little editing trick at the end. So sit back, enjoy, and feel no need to buttress your feelings anymore. Edgar, Jason, and Benoit Blanc are here to solve the mystery of the disappearing podcast.…

Hello dear listeners! The long and winding road of the Fleming Second Edition series comes to its conclusion. As January trots along with some of us surviving freezing temperatures and snow, the time has come to return to the greatest place on Earth: Jamaica. That’s right, it’s time to discuss “The Man with the Golden Gun.” Edgar guides an in-depth conversation with regular co-host Emery and very special guest Simon Drake, whom many will remember from our Editing Bond series and the DN Second Edition episode. Does Fleming go out with a bang or a whimper? The trio of talking heads have a lot on their minds regarding this novel, such as the completion of the Jamaica trilogy, Fleming’s “greatest hits” and familiarity, who actually wrote the book, public obituaries of super secret agents, sexual deviancy, prank calls, Thomas the Tank Engine, and so much more. So sit back, relax, forget the cold and enjoy this latest The James Bond Complex episode. The only brainwashing required of you is to download the episode and enjoy it. Download it…love it…download it…love it……

*Apologies to the listeners. Edgar's mic was not properly plugged in during the recording and unfortunately sounds subpar. Hello dear listeners! Happy 2024!

It's just time to continue the Fleming Second Edition series with "You Only Live Twice". This time Edgar is joined by the authors of "The James Bond Lexicon" Alan J. and Gillian J. Porter. This three-headed conversation dives into contemplative topics such as Fleming as a man of his time, Dikko being a huge you know what, culture shocks, whether the book is a travelogue or not, effusive praise such as "very readable," and a PLOT TWIST involving one of the guests you'll NEVER PREDICT. So sit back, open the sake bottle, and enjoy the latest episode of The James Bond Complex.

Dear listeners, hello. We haven’t changed things up on terms of how we take care of our Fleming 2nd Edition episodes, but Ian did.

We are joined by Bill Koenig of The Spy Command to dissect and discuss the only novel Ian Fleming disowned but we back it up as being a proper Bond book. In hopes you enjoy the journey through the Adirondacks!…
