  • Great Podcast

    I’ve been a fan of Bill Koenig for many years. His Spy Command is a terrific blog and now we get to hear his voice. Awesome podcast and the other hosts are good too. Keep up the great work - especially with the future of 007 in the hands of Blofeld… er Bezos.

The Truth About the Dr. No Monkey Myth ft. Professor James Chapman | The 007 Files S4E008
Q: Professor Chapman, walk us through the quote about Amazon and the Bond franchise's direction—what were you thinking at the time?
He reflects on the coda to Licence to Thrill, describing how Amazon's ownership could influence the balance between a bespoke, occasional release strategy and a broader, more frequent blockbuster approach, with potential implications for the franchise's identity and legacy.
The Truth About the Dr. No Monkey Myth ft. Professor James Chapman | The 007 Files S4E008
Q: Well, you've given a few examples, but what would you say was the most surprising thing to you that you uncovered during your research?
Chapman highlights how archive materials often overturn received wisdom, with the monkey myth in Dr. No being a prime example; the most surprising element was realizing how many long-standing beliefs were only partially supported by the earliest drafts and production papers, which reshaped his understanding of Bond's origins.
Hopes & Fears for James Bond Under Amazon ft. Phil Nobile Jr. | The 007 Files S4E002
Q: What do you recall about that time that you can talk about?
Nobile reflects on the speculation around Bond's future and mentions that he had been tasked with all Bond news, which made him consider fan theories about ownership and transitions in a more serious light.
