  • Dossier #83: Discussing Denis Villeneuve
    Jun 30 2025

  • Dossier #82: 007 First Light reveal
    Jun 11 2025

    Alex and James are back to discuss the next 007 outing - not a film, but a video game.

    Hitman developer IO Interactive has finally revealed 007 First Light, an action stealth adventure game that reimagines the story of how James Bond became a Double-O agent. We discuss how the studio's success with Hitman and the agent fantasy it portrays sets them up perfectly for this game, as well as our hopes and initial reactions to the trailer.

  • Dossier #81: How will Amazon handle 007?
    Mar 6 2025

    Alex and James emerge from semi-retirement to discuss the latest big Bond news (and first major development in the series since No Time To Die released).

    With Amazon taking both ownership and full creative control of the 007 franchise, what does this mean for the future of James Bond? We discuss our hopes, our concerns, our best guesses and our worst fears as the series enters a whole new chapter - the first Broccoli-less era and the biggest change in leadership since the films began.
