This week we welcome special guest MJ Smith, host of Let's Jaws for a Minute, to discuss a Jaws-centric Bond film! James Bond (and Jaws) go to space! And fight Nazis in space! A pigeon does a double take! Join us for this slightly more scattered than usual discussion, and stay for Allison's darkest admission!

A movie with a ski chase will never let you down. A ski chase plus Jaws? Baby, now you got yourself a stew going. For some, The Spy Who Loved Me is *the* Moore 007 film; for others, it is *the* Bond film overall. Buckle up as we dive into (this is a joke from the movie) the 1977 classic!

This episode is a dire one for the TBWS duo. Roger Moore is back, and he will be until the heat death of the universe. The racist sheriff is back. Women existing for the sole purpose of being humiliated are back. We hope you enjoy listening to this more than we did watching it.

On this episode of TBWS, we welcomed @Kattburglar to discuss the blaxploitation inspired 1973 film Live and Let Die. This is the most heated conversation on the pod to date, and it has nothing to do with the questionable quality of the movie itself. Join us to hear about the weighty issues of race and sexual ethics, but also the lighter points of wigs, Felix 5, tarot readings, Sheriff JW Pepper, and more!
Listen to Katt on her podcast Souler Scouts here!

We've come to another stopping point in the saga, so this week we discuss in further detail how George Lazenby and Sean Connery got the role of James Bond in Majesty's and Diamonds respectively. It turns out things were very much in flux as the series came to this fork in the road. Plus, we recap our best and worsts from this fuzzy era and stack them up with our best and worsts for the entire series so far!

Look who came crawling back. Uh...by that I mean the producers handing Sean Connery a record-breaking check to return to the role of James Bond in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever. Has Sean aged gracefully? Has Bond? Has the film? Join us this week to hear our answers to these questions and more. Talking points include: questionable representation, drag Blofeld, butt diamonds, and the very concept of brothers.

After making it all the way through the Connery Bonds (not really), we stop and make time to think about what we've seen.
Is Bond...likeable? Who's the best villain? Which movie should you start somebody on? We talk about our impressions of Connery's Bond, then run a lightning round of our bests and worsts of the era. Tweet at @bondwesharecast to tell us how smart and insightful we are (or yell at us).

Welcome to Japan! Sean Connery makes one final* appearance as James Bond to track down the head of S.P.E.C.T.R.E. and stop him from eating any more spaceships. No really, that's the plan. Join us this week to hear our thoughts on the proper temperature of sake, ninja school, and the end of the original batch of Bonds.
