Build-A-Bond

For the last episode of the series we are joined by legendary TV director Bill Mohin. The whole episode has a bit of a ‘last day of school’ chaotic energy and Bill’s film matches that vibe perfectly.   Due to overwhelming public demand, we also have the return of Taggy Checks for this episode, keeping everyone’s facts as accurate as possible.   As well as all that, we also find time to discuss shirred eggs, tipping point and Bill’s own family connection to Bond.

This week we are joined by Instagram’s very own Maggie Smith (no, not that one). This Maggie is a model, content creator and star of the hit BBC Scotland show The Agency: Unfiltered. Maggie is very much online, so has brought along her legacy media savvy nephew Alex (and his jotter) to help build their dream James Bond adventure. Alongside the usual discussion of actors, directors, and music we also find out why Maggie fancies Mr Burns, what she thinks is the least deserving charity and discover who invented yellow tennis balls… More Maggie Smith: Instagram: @maggielizsmithx The Agency: Unfiltered: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0f0b7x2

It’s BAFTAs week! To celebrate we are joined by top industry insider, Jacob Stolworthy. By day, Jacob is the Chief Culture Reporter at the Independent and by night he hosts the Lost Boys Podcast. He loves all things film, demonstrating his passion by picking a Bond movie laden with the best and brightest of Hollywood’s current talent. Inevitably we talk quite a lot about Lost, but also find time to discuss modern films lengths, Robot Wars and try to avoid angering any Italian style crime syndicates… More Jacob Stolworthy: Instagram: @jacobstolworthy https://www.independent.co.uk/author/jacob-stolworthy

Hope you are still feeling festive because this week is our unofficial Christmas special! To help us deck the halls we are joined by Glasgow based singer/songwriter Kirsteen Harvey. Kirsteen is firmly on the nice list this year, but admits to not being much of a Bond fan and describes the film she builds on this week’s episode as “terrible”. Despite that, we have plenty of festive fun talking about her recent EP, her hit Christmas cover song and constructing a supergroup of Scotland’s best musical artists. We also discuss the Shrek’s swamp Airbnb and give our definitive verdict on the Barbie film… Please note: this episode is complete free of any Christmas Jones references.

Feel the chill this week as we are joined by queen of the uncanny, Evelyn Hollow. In our first episode ever recorded from the other side, Evelyn takes a bit of a break from life as a paranormal psychologist to build a Bond film that is firmly grounded in the realm of the living. Best known for her work on Spooked Scotland and the hit podcast Uncanny, Evelyn shows a slightly different side of herself - exploring her love of film, tv and music. We also discuss big dick energy, why we hate Americans and then mostly just do Roger Allam impressions for the rest of the episode… More Evelyn Hollow: Website: https://evelynhollow.com/ Instagram: @evelynhollow The Battersea Poltergeist: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p0940193
