Ep. 58 James Bond In The 70s

With the tedious inevitability of an unloved season, host John Cribbs returns with special guest John Arminio to continue their decades-spanning reappraisal of the James Bond franchise one film at a time. That means moving from the mud clone/gorilla transforming/Sausage King madness of Diamonds Are Forever into the Roger Moore era that took cinema's favorite secret agent from Bond... to beyond. Whether playing hopscotch on the heads of 'gators, corkscrewing a Hornet 'cross a ravine, escaping enemies via free-fall with and without parachute, the extremes of 70's Bond ensured that even as the Cold War got colder, nobody did it better! Cribbs & Arminio examine every eye-popping stunt and shameless one-liner of this remarkable period of the series that sent its hero to an oil rig in Baja, a funhouse in Thailand, deep underwater and into outer space.
