Episode notes

Interview with: His World Never Dies: The Evolution of James Bond author, Dave Holcomb  - Book is a nice read and in this podcast we interview the author!

We read a lot of books on spies – real spies and movie spies – so we can gain a little more insight into the spy movies that we are having fun with.   This book looks at Bond from a unique vantage point.  Kind of a cool title considering the EON just announced the new Bond film (November 2020) is called No Time to Die! 

Dave weaves a story on how Bond has evolved over the decades with some unique insights, a treatment of sexism and race, and a very interesting concept of how history and the Bond series goes through what is called a History Gyre, which suggests that history does not only repeat itself, but that it moves in an evolutionary circle.  Dave suggests that the Bond films go through this same evolutionary circle.   It is a great book, which we enjoyed reading, and we had a great conversation with the author, Dave Holcomb - listen now!   

We'd highly recommend it, and you can find it on Amazon, just search His World Never Dies.
