Merry Christmas! This week on the Bond Again podcast we discuss the latest First Light news, ponder the alternate reality shows we could have had if not for Road to a Million, take a first look at the new Ian Fleming Publications book club, and we remember Lee Tamahori, director of Die Another Day.

In our reviews section we digest Calvin Dyson’s mammoth Die Another Day review, call for the return of one Pam Bouvier, and give credit where it’s due for some inspired 007 marketing. Plus, we watch a really terrible film created by Bond alumni so you don’t have to!

We also take a festive listener question, this time from our friends at Spyhards. Keep them coming!
