#bondcember

At last, Bondcember is complete, as Thom and Joe bring things up to the present with the swansong for Daniel Craig's incarnation of the iconic spy that matches colossal narrative with character driven sensitivity in No Time To Die

The final episode of Bondcember, as Thom and Joe look back at their favourite moments, heroes, allies, villains, henchmen, moments and songs. From Bond's great adversaries, new and old, to his allies in MI6 and beyond, to the women he has loved and allied with over the last five decades, to the musicians that have been become indellibly part of the series, we count down our favourites, till we crown the Greatest James Bond film of all time

Thom and Joe arrive at their penultimate episode, where they talk about the low points of the series, from dated gender and racial caricatures masquerading as characters to the excesses of the Moore era, to forgettable villains, themes, and songs. But only one film can be the single worst Bond outing...

Thom and Joe arrive at the most recent Bond outing that, despite seeming to be anything you could possibly want from a Bond film on paper, is a strangely underwhelming thing, in which the series leans back into its 1970s heyday wholesale, Craig's Bond increasingly takes a backseat and the film reintroduces the infamous SPECTRE and Blofeld with little fanfare.

Thom and Joe arrive at the colossally-scaled Skyfall, in which Bond and M do battle with the sinister Silva, Javier Bardiem puts in a career best as one of the great Bond villains, Thom talks a lot about Bond's sexuality and Bond's fandom in the era of the internet, and discuss the third Daniel Craig outing

We arrive at Quantum of Solace, a James Bond film that, for all its messy production history, and rushed sense, is a reminder that the Bond series is as fallible as any other series.

We enter the Craig era, in an excellent adaption of the first Bond novel, whilst Thom sings the praises of Mads Mikkelsen as Lechifre, Bond's move into the 21st Century is discussed, and the duo agree to differ on the late Chris Cornell's theme for the film.
