KJB100: Dr No Notes

In this 100th episode of Kill James Bond, we experiement with the original concept for the show after we had finished No Time To Die... Doing the bond films over again- without rewatching them or checking our notes!

So here, enjoy us attempting to recall a movie that we last saw nearly two full years ago.

THE WINTER OF CONTENT

We're joining the war on christmas... on the side of the RMT!
Mick Lynch needs your help to secure concessions from the government to make the trains in this country slightly less fucking awful, and you can donate to the RMT's strike fund here: https://www.rmt.org.uk/about/national-dispute-fund/

If you do feel you have money to spare, please consider supporting your local food banks with money or time!
donate to the Trussell Trust here: https://www.trusselltrust.org/make-a-donation/
or the Independent food aid network here: https://www.foodaidnetwork.org.uk/donate

Additionally, please consider joining a renter's union like ACORN, as rising mortgage rates will surely result in rising rent, here: https://www.acorntheunion.org.uk/join

Not Q was "Colonel Mayberry," an original character to insert the real fan-letter writer to Ian Fleming who commonly asserted that Bond would not use his canonical Beretta .25acp and instead would prefer the "hotrod" cartridge of .32acp in a Walther PPK. Odd stuff all around, you used to be able to be a productive gun-pedant.

I'm a recovering Southern Baptist homeschooler so Abi and November telling me I've done a good job for listening to the whole series hit differently. 😂

aww, I was lowkey expecting the “Sean Connery violently kills people and animals on-set with a shoe” bit to extend to explaining why Honey Rider’s actress got progressively blonder and less yellowface. Missed opportunity there, you hate to see it.

A British officer pausing under fire to be racist at a subordinate is the most realistic thing Bond has ever done

I was having kind of a shit day when I was listening to this. Felt better by the end of it and the pause for laughter when my name was read got me.

Man I can't believe how long its been since the first episode. It feels like yesterday until I remember that back then I hadn't started HRT, lived in a whole different city and had a completely different name. Still very clearly remember playing the promo for my best friend and telling them how much I was looking forwards to episode one. I look forward to being an old ass man telling my kids to listen to your kids yelling about Doctor No based on the notes you've written for them from memory.

This seems like an appropriate time to thank you in return. In the live show you guys said this turned out to be some free trans therapy. It definitely was the same way for me and it's been a massive improvement in a pretty shitty couple years. Much love from someone whose been a patron on and off but has been listening since the beginning <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

This was one of the funniest episodes I've ever listened to so yes, I am so excited for more. And yes, 100 episodes down, can't wait for the next 700 or so

I've been listening since the start having found Alice's work through Hell of Way to Die and still remember walking home from work listening to episode 1.5 during the midsts of the pandemic, attended the liveshow in suit and tie to see the fucker out, and have possibly relistened to the Spy Kids episodes too much. Happy fucking new year

My plan a was listen to this and play the new dwarf fortress but abbys voice cracked me up and now i can't concentrate on anything else but the podcast, you've successfully confused my executive dysfunction. Also, grats on 100, I've listened to them all and watched more Bond than I've ever wanted to and better movies than I expected to (except the Bourne ones ugh), my favourite is still Ronin. Please do In Bruges sometime.
