Dossier #93: First Light by Lana Del Rey
<p>Alex and James share their first impressions of First Light, the new title song for the upcoming 007 video game of the same name. Composed by David Arnold and performed by Lana Del Rey, this song should on paper be one of the greatest additions to the musical library of Bond, but how well do we think it stands up?</p> <p>You can email your own thoughts to <a href= "mailto:bondandbeyondpod@gmail.com">bondandbeyondpod@gmail.com</a>, or via the Facebook group (just search for 'Bond & Beyond')</p>

Dossier #92: Ranking the Pre-Titles Sequences
<p>Alex and James are once again joined by friend of the show (and unofficial/semi-official third host) Sam for the latest ranking episode. This time, we're ranking the pre-title sequences.</p> <p>The criteria is simple: This applies to any scenes that appear before the opening title sequence, so that discounts Dr No but includes the gunbarrel-less openings from Casino, Quantum, and Skyfall. There are plenty of other considerations, such as whether they handle Bond's intro well (if he appears at all), whether they stand up well as a sequence on their own, and whether they get you hooked for the full move.</p> <p>We discuss what makes for a good pre-title sequence, how long it took for EON Productions to find the right formula, and (of course) rank all 24 openings in terms of how good we believe they are. Reckon we've got it wrong? Email <a href= "mailto:bondandbeyondpod@gmail.com">bondandbeyondpod@gmail.com</a>, or comment under this episode's post at the <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/bondandbeyondpod/">Bond & Beyond Facebook group</a>.</p>

Dossier #91: Bond Reskinned
<p>Alex and James cast their eyes outwards from the established Bond casts and try to imagine other actors, actresses, directors and composers in a Bond role. Not just potential other 007s, but Ms, Qs, Moneypennys, villains, and more.</p> <p>For this exercise, we each chose two films and tried to imagine who would be involved with them if they were made in a different time. What would a 1980s Goldfinger look like? A Guy Ritchie-directed Live & Let Die? And, inevitably, a Christopher Nolan Bond film?</p> <p>Listen to our choices, and then have a go yourself: email your reskinned Bond film choices to <a href= "mailto:bondandbeyondpod@gmail.com">bondandbeyondpod@gmail.com</a> or comment under this episode's post on <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/bondandbeyondpod/">our Bond & Beyond Facebook page</a>.</p>
