James Bond: Licence to Podcast

James Bond: Licence to Podcast

Andrew, Tim & Lucy, three Australian fans of Ian Flemings great creation, review every James Bond film in Licence to Podcast. Sharing our enjoyment for the great British spy and perhaps one day convincing EON Productions to set a film down under. As we've reviewed every Bond film, sometimes more than once, we have branched out and looked at many other of our favourite movies from Star Wars to Harry Potter, Mission: Impossible and Jason Bourne just to name a few. We really love film and hope you have as much fun listening to these episodes as much we did recording them.
