Episode 22: Sushi Rolls & First Dances

Idiot Bond Fan ·

2025/11/01

Close your eyes for a moment and think back on all those times throughout your time out in the wild where Bond has appeared in your life. And now, think specifically of those less than overt Bond moments that you have encountered on a daily basis. Was there a 007 sushi roll on the menu at the restaurant? Did you happen to stroll down Bond Street today? Maybe your waiter at that sushi restaurant had a name tag labeled "Lupe" ? I know I've had plenty of those experiences over the years

Remember Suncoast Motion Picture Company? The mall go to store for purchasing VHS, Laser Discs, and eventually DVDs? And pretty much the only store in the mall selling any kind of Bond collectibles, posters, and memorabilia? Yea well, from hundreds of locations, there are only TWO locations left nationwide (for now). Please indulge me as I reminisce down memory lane back to the days where I could walk into Suncoast every weekend with my friends and find a new Bond item to bring home. I miss those

Idiot Bond Fan ·

Catcha later dudes! Board the time-travelling telephone booth with me as we go back in time and reincarnate the spirit of Ian Fleming. Ok, not exactly! But in this episode, I’ll give you my take on what Fleming would have had to say about all that has transpired in the world of James Bond 007 since his death in 1964…the films, the continuation novels, the character interpretations, and how Bond has changed over the last sixty years. What choices would he have enjoyed, and what would driven him nuts

Episode 14: Your Accountant HATES Your Hobby!

Idiot Bond Fan ·

2025/07/13

How much do you spend annually on your Bond hobby? Do you have any idea? Let's discuss some recent poll results about what people were willing to admit to...and why those results mean bupkis. I make the argument that most Bond fans do not have an accurate idea of how much they spend on this passion. With watches, products, trips, events, and more, if you aren't careful, being a fan of 007 could be to your financial detriment. Some food for thought for those who could use a financial wake-up

Go there or don't go there? I'll make the argument (that may not be the most popular opinion on the block) that it's time to flesh out Bond's backstory. With a new film on the horizon, and possible additional mediums to complement a film series, the opportunities to show Bond as a youth growing up, interacting his friends and parents, going to grammar school and university, and eventually his military service, are growing. Will Amazon MGM take this opportunity to finally to develop his undeveloped

Our man in Canada will join me for an extended discussion on the topic "Do Bond fans take themselves too seriously?". We'll dissect the trends of "seriousness" from actor to actor, era to era of the Bond series and we will give our two cents on how the marketing, licensed products, extended wait periods between films, and pressure from social media has left many fans
