A bonus episode for you before we get into the Daniel Craig era! Casino Royale reboots the franchise for the first time ever, so ahead of our episode about it Adam wanted to talk about the behind the scenes decision-making that led to that moment. Plus, Adam and Allison share how they would have rebooted Bond in 2004 and compare it to what actually happened.

Adam's friend and other co-podcaster Seth joins us to discuss 2002's Die Another Day. It's pretty clear: this is a bad movie. The question really comes down to how much enjoyment you can get out of this bad movie, and that's something your hosts disagree wildly on.

To celebrate your TBWS hosts being all together for the weekend, we decided to record a very special live commentary for one of the two non-Eon Bond movies. Featuring both the return of Sean Connery and the podcast debut of Allison's husband Alex, this episode is (ideally) best enjoyed while watching 1983's Never Say Never Again along with us. Alternatively, you could just watch Thunderball with this commentary and see what happens. Maybe this episode is our Dark Side of the Moon that way.

It's a new era. No Soviet Union, a lady M, Bond drives a BMW. Is Brosnan a reaction to purists complaining about Timothy Dalton, or is he a continuation in updating the series for a new decade? Is the Nintendo 64 game even that good? Join us to find out what other hot takes we have on 1995's Goldeneye!

This week we say goodbye to our favorite Bond to date, Timothy Dalton. In honor of his abbreviated legacy, we try to figure out which other movies his Bond would have been a good fit in, and we swap around the other 3 Bonds we've seen so far too. After that, Adam and Allison compare their highlights and lowlights of this two movie stretch and how it stacks up against the rest of the series.

James Bond will literally avenge his best friend's wife's killer and ruin the economy of a Central American nation instead of going to therapy.
