Raymond Benson, Bond author, talks his new book on Felix Leiter

In this episode, Dan and Tom bring in a special guest. Join us as Raymond Benson, Bond author, talks his new book on Felix Leiter. Novels are being written about some of the non-James Bond characters from the Ian Fleming James Bond novels. To that end, Raymond Benson, who was the first American James Bond continuation author, is getting set to release his latest book, “The Hook and the Eye”. This is a book about Felix Leiter after his shark attack. The book will be released initially as an e-book serial starting on May 27, 2025, with a paper book release in October. This sounds like a fun book and having the Felix Leiter character getting a story of his own sounds very intriguing! Some of the topics we discuss with Raymond include: · Raymond’s background and how he got started with all of his James Bond work · How the James Bond literary world has evolved · Why Raymond chose to do a book on Felix Leiter · How Felix Leiter is different in the Ian Fleming novels compared to the Eon Productions movies · How you will be able to get the book, “The Hook and the Eye” · And More … <h2>Tell us what you think about our discussion as Raymond Benson, Bond author, talks his new book on Felix Leiter.</h2> So, take a listen and let us know what you think.

DECISION BEFORE DAWN – Decoded!

Join Dan and Tom as they decode the 1951 World War II spy movie DECISION BEFORE DAWN. It was the first spy movie nominated for the Best Motion Picture Academy Award. And we think it is likely that you never heard of it. So, take a listen and we’ll decode this one for you. There is a lot of realism in the movie, and we will highlight some of the real-world things that they adapted for this movie. DECISION BEFORE DAWN was one of the first post-World War II movies that tried to humanize the regular German citizen, not the NAZI party. In addition, DECISION BEFORE DAWN was the breakout role for the wonderful actor Oskar Werner. Some of the topics we decode from this movie include: · Enough of the plot to get you started · The cast and their roles · How realistic was this movie? · How did the battle-worn towns look so accurate? · The direction, cinematography, and production design · A real-world connection between the movie and Oskar Werner’s life · Memorable scenes · What future spy movies were likely influenced by this one? · What line likely inspired a line from M in the James Bond movie SPECTRE? · What are the positives and negatives of the movie? · And More … <h2>Tell us what you think about our decoding of the 1951 movie DECISION BEFORE DAWN.</h2> So, take a listen and let us know what you think. Have you previously heard of this movie or even watched it? If not, did this episode entice you to watch it? If you have seen it, do you agree with Dan and Tom’s opinions? Dan and Tom disagree a little about this movie. Who do you agree with? Let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you thought of this episode.
