Being James Bond

Some kickback to my take on the '007 First Light,’ great feedback from Scott’s ranking podcast, my ‘Capital Royale’ Memorial Day weekend, some time with David Zaritsky discussing the Bond Community, the 2024 Golden Bullet Awards, and remembering John Lennon, the founder of the Irish James Bond Fan Club.

"He's back! And we're back, to what great podcasting is all about!" Scott returns with a BANG and ranks the 27 James Bond films (including 'Casino Royale' '67 and 'Never Say Never Again'), and he goes one step further and pairs each film with another film to create the perfect double feature!  You can find Being James Bond at… • Being James Bond | http://www.beingjamesbond.com • Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/Being-James-Bond-17631406474/ • Twitter | http://twitter.com/headofsection • Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/beingjamesbond/ • iTunes | https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/being-james-bond/id205222801?mt=2 • Check out REVIEWS WITHOUT REMORSE | https://www.youtube.com/@reviewswithoutremorse168

ANNOUNCEMENT -- “So when are we going to see Volume Two?” After 15 years, I eventually found myself with a completed ‘Being James Bond: Volume Two.’ However, this moment brought with it some self-reflection, and I had to take a hard look back on ‘Volume One.’  You can find Being James Bond at… • Being James Bond | http://www.beingjamesbond.com • Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/Being-James-Bond-17631406474/ • Twitter | http://twitter.com/headofsection • Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/beingjamesbond/ • iTunes | https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/being-james-bond/id205222801?mt=2 • Check out REVIEWS WITHOUT REMORSE | https://www.youtube.com/@reviewswithoutremorse168

INTERVIEW -- The James Bond events in 2025 continue, and a killer event to beat the band (pun intended) is the Q the Music concert in October 2025! You won't believe who will be there!

INTERVIEW -- What started out to be a pretty uneventful time for Bond fans, has turned explosive! But it's not just the headlines that are turning heads, David Zaritsky has a full year of Bond events and gatherings to keep every Bond fan busy in 2025! We'll ask Dave what we can look forward to.

COMMENTARY -- Once again, I find myself in the minority; Bond fans are none too happy about the news. Am I getting it wrong?

COMMENTARY -- We all new it was bound to happen, but here we are – Amazon MGM to take creative control of the James Bond films. After we raise a glass to Barbara and Michael, what does this mean for the future of 007?

COMMENTARY -- Merry Christmas from your good buddy Head of Section, and I'll throw in my two-cents about the EON/Amazon controversy, and telll you why my original dueling predictions somehow both came true, and somehow didn't!

COMMENTARY -- I can honestly say I've lost a mentor and a friend. Paul Kyriazi was the author of "How to Live the James Bond Lifestyle" and a decades-long friend of Being James Bond.
