The James Bond Complex

Hello dear listeners! The James Bond Complex is radically changing and things will never be the same! Well, that's not entirely accurate. This is merely a brief invitation to those 007 aficionados who also like sports to check out Edgar's other podcast, "A Win is a Win." We all have other interests. One of Edgar's is sports. Football, soccer, basketball and all those other sports balls things. If you're so inclined, check out A Win is a Win everywhere you can download The James Bond Complex. There's also his YouTube channel which is simply his name, Edgar Chaput. So sit back, relax, crack open a brewski and cosplay as that athlete you cheer for whenever they play *insert sport of choice*.

Well, Matthew Vaughn's lastest film didn't set the box office on fire or even please most audiences and critics. But the question remains, what did the co-hosts of "The James Bond Complex" think of this newest big-budget spy epic? Listen (or watch) to find out!

Hello dear listeners! It's another impromptu release. Some astute listeners may think they've already downloaded a Glass Onion review hosted by Edgar and Jason. They would be correct. However, some copyright issues related to the eponymous tune resulted in the episode being taken down shortly after release, to say nothing of Edgar spending 2023 rather lazily and never fixing the issue. But it's a new year, so what better time to give this episode a second lease on life? It's basically the same as 12 months ago, except for a little editing trick at the end. So sit back, enjoy, and feel no need to buttress your feelings anymore. Edgar, Jason, and Benoit Blanc are here to solve the mystery of the disappearing podcast.

Hello dear listeners!   The long and winding road of the Fleming Second Edition series comes to its conclusion. As January trots along with some of us surviving freezing temperatures and snow, the time has come to return to the greatest place on Earth: Jamaica.  That’s right, it’s time to discuss “The Man with the Golden Gun.” Edgar guides an in-depth conversation with regular co-host Emery and very special guest Simon Drake, whom many will remember from our Editing Bond series and the DN Second Edition episode. Does Fleming go out with a bang or a whimper?  The trio of talking heads have a lot on their minds regarding this novel, such as the completion of the Jamaica trilogy, Fleming’s “greatest hits” and familiarity, who actually wrote the book, public obituaries of super secret agents, sexual deviancy, prank calls, Thomas the Tank Engine, and so much more. So sit back, relax, forget the cold and enjoy this latest The James Bond Complex episode. The only brainwashing required of you is to download the episode and enjoy it. Download it…love it…download it…love it…

*Apologies to the listeners. Edgar's mic was not properly plugged in during the recording and unfortunately sounds subpar. Hello dear listeners! Happy 2024! They say that you only live twice, once when you are born and once when you stare death in the face. Ooh, what premonitions for the new year... Fear not, we're not trying to be creepy. It's just time to continue the Fleming Second Edition series with "You Only Live Twice". This time Edgar is joined by the authors of "The James Bond Lexicon" Alan J. and Gillian J. Porter. This three-headed conversation dives into contemplative topics such as Fleming as a man of his time, Dikko being a huge you know what, culture shocks, whether the book is a travelogue or not, effusive praise such as "very readable," and a PLOT TWIST involving one of the guests you'll NEVER PREDICT. So sit back, open the sake bottle, and enjoy the latest episode of The James Bond Complex.

Hello dear listeners! Long time no see! It has been more than a minute since we dropped an episode. In the spirit of the season of giving, we figured that we'd drop some recordings that have sat on the shelf for a while. In this particular episode, co-host Edgar and very special guest Mike Reyes of CinemaBlend discuss Ian Fleming's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." That's right, we're continuing the Fleming Second Edition series. The hosts try their best not to think about Diana Rigg too much, discuss the Christmassy nature of the story, the sticky topic of Bond continuity, Tom Hanks book recommendations, and more! So sit back, grab a cup of hot cocoa and enjoy this in-depth conversation. Check out Mike Reyes' work on CinemaBlend.

Hello listeners, It's time to hit the books. The comic books, that is.

James Bond finds himself on a devilishly complex mission. He must infiltrate SPECTRE by becoming one of them! Thrills, chills, and spills ensure. We hope you enjoy this latest episode of the James Bond Complex podcast.

In order to discuss Ethan Hunt's third adventure we needed our own little IMF team. Not only is Emery co-hosting the show this time, but we have another guest. The one and only Joe Darlington from Being James Bond. Is this J.J. Abrams directed film another great action film or is it like having a bomb shoved in your skulll? Listen in to find out!

Hello, dear listeners! Are you hoping to gain some podcasting genius or are you just here for a glimmer? We can tell you already know what's in store this week on the show. Emery and Edgar regale the listeners with the long awaited, much-anticipated film review of "The World is Not Enough", the 1999 James Bond adventure starring Pierce Brosnan and directed by Michael Apted. This review has been such a long time coming that the co-hosts cannot contain themselves. They tackle and develop a Caspian oil pipeline's worth of brilliant knowledge. Among the unmissable topics are: the Denise Richards pass or fail test, what side of the bed we roll out of, stroking screens, soft Brosnan, Bond driving a secretary car, handling giant rods, villains dying by giant rod penetration, Thomas the Tank Engine, and much more! So sit back, relax, enjoy the latest episode of The James Bond Complex, and don't worry about those wrist and neck straps. We just want you to be comfortable for one last screw.

Hero dear listeners! This week on the show, Matt and Emery discuss habits taken from the world of 007 and integrated into their everyday lives. From Fleming to Film and everything in between!
