Casino Royale - Climax! (1954)

Listen to "Casino Royale - Climax! (1954)" on Spreaker.

We're going all the way back to the first screen adaptation of James Bond: the 1954 live television version of Casino Royale from the CBS anthology series Climax!

Starring: Barry Nelson as James Bond, Peter Lorre as Le Chiffre, and Linda Christian as Valerie Mathis.
Directed by: William H. Brown Jr.

American CIA agent "Jimmy" Bond survives an assassination attempt—largely by standing still—before being sent to defeat Le Chiffre at baccarat and force the Soviets to "retire" him.

We get into the plot, the performances, whether this works as an introduction to the world of James Bond, the music, our favorite quotes, trivia, and more.

Introducing Breaking Bond: A 007 Binge Cast

Listen to "Introducing Breaking Bond: A 007 Binge" on Spreaker.

Welcome to Breaking Bond: A 007 Binge Cast! 

We're David and Bethany, and we are a married couple with little-to-no history with the James Bond franchise! We're diving head-first into the 007 cinematic universe on a mission to watch every James Bond film ever made.

Before we start the binge, we're talking about our first exposure to James Bond, what little experience we have with the franchise, what we already know about 007, and whether we've ever really been interested in Bond or spy thrillers before. James Bond Jr. even comes up, because apparently we're starting there.

Join us as we finally fill in one enormous gap in our pop-culture knowledge, one Bond at a time.
