Double Oz Seven - A James Bond Podcast

After a ranking episode you loved a few weeks ago, let’s get into another one that you’ll love just as much as we rank both the entrances of all the actors to play James Bond as well as their exits from the franchise in another random yet fun list! Why has Colin once again not bothered to show up? Why is one of these lists rather easy and the other rather hard? Why do we feel for Roger Moore this episode? Is Colin over it being a blinking fish? What does Russia have to do with this episode? Why is there so much poo talk and why is it funny? What do nuns have to do with anything and why are so interested in milking them? Speaking of milking, are we milking jokes for all they’re worth once again on this show? And why are we all of a sudden more excited to rank in our next episode? Get your exits and entrances ready for another episode you can’t miss!

Who doesn’t love a good ranking episode? We of course love them! Especially Ben & Noah! They love them so much that they’re back to bring you another one today as they rank all the Bond film titles dropped in a movie in one of the most unique rankings we’ve ever done! Why is this list so over the place? How is Colin involved when he’s not here? Why is Ben actually going to surprise people with his Die Another Day ranking this week? Is this a good week to be a Timothy Dalton fan? How on earth do we rank A View To A Kill? Why are some movies that are ranked high usually not high this time? Why are we team wallet? What weird things do we want to measure this episode? And where the hell is 146 Chestnut Bay? Come for the rankings, stay for the entertainment in another epic episode! Get to it!

A very special interview coming your way today as we sit down with Willoughby Symphony Orchestra concertmaster Maria Lindsay ahead of the special James Bond symphony evening happening in Sydney to learn more about her love of music and just what to expect with the Willoughby Symphony Orchestra: An Evening with James Bond event! We learn from Maria more about what to expect and just what songs we may be able to hear during the event. We also find out just what exactly a concertmaster does, her own personal experience with the James Bond franchise and whether or not Ben will get excited to hear Die Another Day or not. It’s a great chat to get you pumped up for a great event! Tune in!

The year is 2024 and we’re back for another epic year of James Bond action! And what a way to kick things off for another year as we sit down with Drew Roller, the director of GoldenEra, to learn more about his epic movie about the history of the GoldenEye video game and just why it is such an iconic game that has stood the test of time after all of these years! We find out from Drew how he has found the reception of the film now that it’s been out for 18 months and just how nostalgic it has been for him and the fans to revisit the iconic game. We also find out from Drew whether it was the game that drew him into the Bond franchise or the other way around and which film is his very unique favourite. Added to this we learn a bit more about the extremely reclusive Stamper brothers who founded the company behind the GoldenEye game Rare, get some further thoughts on the Brosnan era of James Bond and find out why Drew and Ben could be best friends. It’s an incredible chat that you won’t want to miss!

It seems like yesterday we finished our commentary series but enough time has passed that we can bring you a ‘best of’ episode featuring more clips, this time from all our commentaries of the Daniel Craig era James Bond films! That’s right, we have five movie commentaries to clip down for you today as we bring you all the good bits from those movies that came out between 2006 and 2021! So sit back, relax and listen to the best bits of our commentaries across five different films in The Best of Double Oz Seven Part 14!

So popular was our CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR last year that we thought let’s do another one to make it even better! Either that or we just have apparently no lives on Christmas and can drown our sorrows in not getting nominated for a Bond Community podcast award again by doing another episode! No matter what the reason the result is another epic episode that features ALL THREE of your favourite hosts coming together to celebrate the festive period in true Double Oz Seven style! So tune in, tune up and tune around to get into the zone for another epic episode you won’t want to miss!

You know how much we love Pierce Brosnan on this show and you also know how much we love to bring you a clip show so it’s time to combine the two and bring you our 13th ‘best of’ episode with all the best bits of our Pierce Brosnan era of James Bond commentaries! You’ll hear all the funny and entertaining clips that came with each of our commentaries as we somehow tried to stay on topic during four films of one beautiful man! So click away and listen away and be sure to cuddle your best Brosnan photo as you do!

Well we were meant to have this episode a month ago but for many reasons it didn't happen, but FINALLY we are here to do the rankings we actually want to do as we go over all of the iconic villain lairs in the history of James Bond to find out which one we think is the best! Is this, like some of our other rankings episodes, the most random one we can do with opinions all over the place? Why does it matter if a lair is lived in or not? Do we think some of these deserve more plants? Why is being a blimp so cool? Why do we all want to be in a blimp? Which blimp is our favourite blimp? Would we travel to work in a blimp? And why do we just want to talk about blimps rather than fill this synopsis in properly? Get on your blimp and live in it with a plant for another epic episode you won’t want to miss! 

We brought you a special REDUX commentary a few weeks ago and we're back to do it all over again as we celebrate the 52nd anniversary of DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER! And with Noah missing the original commentary, he is back to join Ben IN PERSON to talk over their cult favourite Bond film that Colin just doesn't appreciate! So how will this go? Will it all be talk and love for Plenty O'Toole? What about 'blow up your pants kid'? Why are we so angry at Colin today? Why can’t he just like this film? Why can’t he be smart for once? Why doesn’t he like fun? Why is this movie just fun? Do people who don’t like this movie not like fun? Who doesn’t like fun? Fun is fun. Also, how great is Plenty? How great is Tiffany? How great is Willard? Which guy has an overly shaped head that we have never noticed before? Why do we come up with names for certain body parts? And why do we want to be a cat? It’s a fun ride to celebrate a fun movie! So if you like fun, listen to this episode! if you don’t, then you must be Colin!

A special episode dropping for you today as we are joined by two prominent names in the James Bond fan community at a very special event! We sit down with the president & founder of the British James Bond Fan Club Philip Dewhurst as well as the man behind James Bond Downunder James Roberts to not only learn more about what it is they do, but celebrate the 40th anniversary of Octopussy at a special screening of the film in Sydney. Both men tell us just how they got involved in the Bond fan community and why it is so important to have a strong fan base for a franchise such as James Bond. They also go over how the connection between Australia and Britain is important in keeping the fandom alive and just how passionate James Bond fans still are after all these years. Added to this we learn what brought Phil to Australia, whether or not more fan screenings could be a possibility and who they both would like to see as the next James Bond. It’s an epic chat with two epic people that you won’t want to miss! 

On an iconic day in movie history, we’re back with ANOTHER episode dedicated to THAT film that (Ben) we can’t stop talking about, Die Another Day! And on the 21st anniversary of the movie, Ben is back and has forced Noah to do ANOTHER commentary on the movie that we seemingly just can’t stop talking about! Why is Noah under pressure to do this just because he is in the same house as Ben? Can Noah last the whole movie this time? Why is he saying some nice things about the movie? Why does he force Ben to drink in this episode, or is it the other way around? Is this some new weird tradition of having all our hosts together in rooms to do episodes on Die Another Day? How is the movie holding up now that it is legal in America? And why on earth are we making you sit through ANOTHER episode on this movie? Wake up, yes or no, to another episode about the movie that keeps on giving!

An episode of rankings! YAY! It’s been a few months but we’re back as this time around we’re here to rank all those famous James Bond villain deaths that are so epic and memorable! How will this episode be different with two of our hosts in the same room? What stupid opinions will Ben have this episode? What stupid opinions will Colin & Noah also apparently have in this episode? Why aren’t we doing the villain lairs? What do we think about parsnips? Why is Ben such a good host, on a podcast and in a home setting? Why does one of the hosts not like planes? Why does one of the hosts like sucking villains? Who is Pinky Finger and why do we want him as another Bond villain? Should things be personal with deaths or should Bond just get on with it? Will Ben actually keep a promise for once? And how are so efficient with this episode compared to others? It’s another rollicking ride that you won’t want to avoid so listen, don’t get burnt alive or sucked out of a plane in the process and enjoy!

You’ve dealt with us commentating over some pretty bad non-official Bond films so why not another one? Because we’re back for our commentary of the grand daddy of all the non-official Bond films, the 1983 movie that saw Sean Connery return to the role and create a battle we didn’t know we needed, Never Say Never Again. Are we going to pay attention to this film this time? Are we going to be more complimentary than our last commentary? Did we realise that last line actually rhymed? Why are we so happy to wish Noah a happy birthday two months late? Do we remember the death by piss? Is this movie the movie that aged Sean Connery? Why is Colin so ready to commit assault in this movie? What promise has Ben broken to Noah? And what other movies do we want to watch instead of this? Brace yourself for another episode that you probably will be entertained but will also showcase why we’re number 25 on the top 24 Bond podcasts on the internet!

It’s been a couple of months since our last commentary and we’re back to change that as the entire crew is once again together to bring you their unique talking over the 1967 version of Casino Royale! Why was this the movie we all wanted to commentate over? Why do we not remember this movie? Why is this movie so long? Why are we doing this? Why are we typing things out in this intro when we don’t want to do this episode? Why would you want to listen to this episode? Why are you still reading this? Why? Like…why? Yeah we don’t know either. But hey, if you’re a fan. Listen! If not, wait till the next episode or go back and listen to one of our better episodes. Like ranking the secondary henchmen! That was a good one! Anyway. Cool. Description over.

And to make sure it’s true, we’re back for our final episode on our ‘Ben Reads The Fleming Novels’ series by going over the two short story novels in For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy and the Living Daylights to close out this amazing group of episodes in style! How do these stories hold up and why are we all so intrigued by how we each rank the stories? Which stories are ranked highly that none of us expected? Why do we have names for certain body parts in this episode? Why are we excited to talk about Frasier? Does Noah now want to go to New York? What is a Quantum of Solace? Why are we excited about some stories not featuring James Bond? Why does Colin have to leave again? And what is the deal with Noah climbing a tree? It’s an exciting episode that you will love so get to it and fall in love with your Dexter Smythe!

How great were the 1980s? And even more so, how great were James Bond films in the 1980s? And even more more so, how great were our episodes talking over the 1980s James Bond films? If you don’t know the answer to at least one of those, then it’s time to get yourself excited for another Double Oz Seven clip show as we bring you our 12th ‘best of’ episode with all the highlights from our commentaries from each of the five 1980s James Bond films!

Is this possible?! Ben has read MORE books!? And now he has finished the main group of Ian Fleming books?! INSANE! But putting aside that miracle, it’s time to hear some more thoughts and revisit the Ian Fleming books as Ben, Colin & Noah talk about On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, You Only Live Twice and The Man With The Golden Gun in true Double Oz Seven style! How did Ben finish these books in such a decent amount of time? What will he think of these books given they are so different from each other? How scared are Colin & Noah about his thoughts on The Man With The Golden Gun? What does Brian Cox have to do with anything and who actually is he? Why is Colin getting annoyed and angry once again? Who are Benny & Poss? Should You Only Live Twice have been the ending or will Ben ruin that one too? And how will our rankings stack up against all the other books now that the main group has been finished? There’s a lot to get to and a lot to cover! So read the cover and don’t judge it by it as we get prepped and ready!

After once again promising we’d get to our next movie recap featuring a Bond actor in another role ages ago, we are FINALLY back to continue our series as we move back into George Lazenby territory and looking at his first film post Bond in the…uh…interesting movie that is Universal Soldier from 1971. Do we get anything that is happening in this movie? Is this movie basically a biopic of George Lazenby in the 70s? Why do we think George Lazenby looks hot with this long hair and moustache? Are we glad there is a hovercraft in this film and are we getting close to bingo? How excited are we to discover the Joe Palooka franchise and when will we be covering it? Does this movie have any sense of a plot at all? Do we want to smoke some wacky tobacky to maybe understand this? And what do we think about fingers up the butt? It’s a wild ride that might be an interesting one that you will never forget, so get to listening and get yourself ready for a strange one!

Well somehow miracles keep happening and Ben keeps reading books as we return once again for our latest instalment of BEN READS THE FLEMING NOVELS as Ben gets into the next 3 Bond books of Goldfinger, Thunderball and The Spy Who Loved Me. Do we expect Ben to love all these novels because they are the ones that aren’t really loved? Are we most afraid to hear Ben’s opinions on The Spy Who Loved Me? Why are these books so hard to read when the movies themselves are very iconic? Why are scripts being made about Shrek and Roger Moore? Why are there so many lesbians under the sea? Is this episode sponsored by Audible? And what does Black Hole Sun have to do with anything? Listen and entertain yourself once more on another epic episode of your favourite James Bond podcast!
