The Five Stages of Grief - No Time To Die
June 30, 2024 13:12 - 112 MBOur film-by-film review of all the Eon-produced James Bond films comes to a close with the latest release, the 2019 film No Time To Die, which was delayed until 2021 due to the pandemic lockdown. Given its denouement, this film takes a somewhat darker tone the closer it gets to the conclusion. As Graham says, "It's not your typical ITV4 James Bond film." Like all Daniel Craig Bond films, this one has an emotional depth that is usually absent in earlier entries. Given the uncertainty of th...
Action Movie Landfill - The Running Man
April 15, 2024 19:58 - 62.1 MBThe Oddjob Pod crew are back at the Action Movie Landfil. This time is was Gary's turn to fish out a dusty VHS, slot it into the machine and see if it's worth keeping or chucking back on the pile. His choice? An absolute doozy: Paul Michael Glazer's distopian sci-fi actioner, The Running Man starring Arnold Scwarzenegger. Download the podcast here or listen on the player below. The Oddjob Pod is also available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Amazon. Alternatively, add our feed to you...
The name's Brown, James Brown - Spectre
March 14, 2024 22:31 - 73.8 MBIn this particularly brown episode of The Oddjob Pod, Gary, Terry and Graham don their colour corrected glasses and ceremonial Blofeld wigs and take a close look at Spectre. This film was hugely anticipated after the success of Skyfall but doesn't quite land in the way it should despite being a beautifully shot film and a fine example of the Brown genre. Download the podcast here or listen on the player below. The Oddjob Pod is also available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Amazon. Al...
Action Movie Landfill - The Peacemaker (1997)
January 06, 2024 15:17 - 65.2 MBThe Oddjob Pod returns for another edition of the Action Movie Landfill. A periodic dive into the almost limitless mound of action films from the sell through era in the late twentieth, early twenty first century. For this episode it was down to Terry to choose and it’s fair to say that he chose… poorly. Not for the first time Terry allowed his fond memories of a film from years gone by to cloud his judgement and selected the political action thriller from 1997: The Peacemaker. Starrin...
Last Rat Standing: Skyfall
November 21, 2023 21:30 - 104 MBSam Mendes Skyfall marked a a stylistic departure at a time when the James Bond franchise was undergoing a renaissance with the Daniel Craig era. Mendes took what has always been a series of films that has prided itself on lavish productions and elevated the aesthetic to art. The mise en scene, cinematography and set pieces are spectacular and beautiful in equal measure. But the film has its critics: a somewhat hokey and derivative plot and an unsatisfying albeit beautifully shot final ac...
Action Movie Landfill - Blade
October 17, 2023 08:01 - 110 MBStephen Norrington’s Blade sits if you’ll pardon the pun at the leading edge of big-screen Marvel movies. Not counting Howard The Duck, the 1998 film is the first Marvel superhero to be given a cinema release and heralded the wave of X-Men and films and Disney’s cinematic universe. The film also sits on something of an intersection in 90s Vampire films; the most successful being Neil Jordan’s Interview With A Vampire and Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula which place the vampir...
A Quantum of Promise
August 03, 2023 02:30 - 93.8 MBGary is in the UK so we took the time to get together and record a podcast. This edition is on Daniel Craig's second James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace. We had a lot to say about this film. It's one we enjoy despite its flaws, which we discuss in depth. Download the podcast here or you can listen to it on the player below. The Oddjob Pod is also available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Amazon. Alternatively, add our feed to your podcatcher of choice. Love the OddjobPod? Please g...
Action Movie Landfill - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
July 13, 2023 10:20 - 98.5 MBThe Oddjob Pod’s foray into the action movies of the sell-through era continues with Shane Black’s 2005 film, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Black’s neo-noir satire and homage acts as a comeback movie for one of its stars, Robert Downey Junior whose reputation in Hollywood has taken something of a knock for well-documented reasons. The film is a meta, fourth-wall-breaking action comedy which received a standing ovation at the Cannes film festival and is celebrated by film buffs for its stylish p...
Snookering you tonight - Casino Royale
June 12, 2023 15:13 - 118 MBIn this episode of the Oddjob Pod we celebrate Daniel Craig’s first film in the role of James Bond: Casino Royale. If you sat a panel of film critics in front of all 26 James Bond films and asked them to pick the best – not their favourite – but the best, there’s a good chance that most would pick Casino Royale. Daniel Craig was a controversial casting of James Bond and there was an ineffective online campaign against his casting with threats to boycott etc. But Craig proved to be a hug...
Action Movie Landfill - Blue Thunder
April 20, 2023 22:03 - 105 MBAction Movie Landfill is back, and we are going all the way back to the early years of the Landfill. The helicopter conspiracy action thriller, Blue Thunder, starring Roy Scheider, Malcolm McDowell, Candy Clarke, and the magnificent Warren Oates. This film, written by Dan O'Bannon, was originally intended to be a First Blood in the air but was watered down a bit. Instead, we had what we discovered to be quite a legacy, and we're not just talking about the very bad spin-off TV show. For th...
Turn off retweets for Die Another Day
March 22, 2023 12:49 - 113 MBGary, Graham and Terry complete their review of Pierce Brosnan's canon with Die Another Day. Regular listeners will know that, despite its incredibly strong opening act, this is not our favourite entry. That said every Bond film is somone's favourite and we are mindful of this when expressing our own views. It is, after all, a James Bond film and we love James Bond films. Why else would we do a James Bond podcast? So take a massive bang on the scorpion venom as we get down to Die Another D...
Action Movie Landfill - Thinking outside the Bunny Box - Con Air
January 20, 2023 20:36 - 83.7 MBThe Action Movie Landfill returns. This time, Terry, Gary and Graham discuss Simon West's pseudo-indie, art house, liberal action blockbuster Con Air. Some of us were genuinly blown away by this film. Not so much by what it's trying to tell us but by what it said. Give it a listen then watch the movie again and let us know what you think. Download the podcast here or you can listen to it on the player below. The Oddjob Pod is also available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Amazon. Alt...
The name's Cross, Brent Cross - Tomorrow Never Dies
December 25, 2022 00:07 - 109 MBHappy Christmas to all our listeners. The Oddjob Pod crew have a festive cracker for you. We take a deep dive into the South China seas for a thorough examination of Tomorrow Never Dies. Pierce Brosnan's second Bond outing has just celebrated its 25th year. It is a film that we all love but acknowledge its many flaws. Join Gary, Terry and Graham as they patiently Bondsplain where it goes wrong and what we would have done to make it better. Download the podcast here or you can listen to i...
Action Movie Landfill: The Transporter
November 17, 2022 18:27 - 91.9 MBThe Action Movie Landfill is our side-project that explores the classic (or otherwise) movies made during the golden age of sell-through video. The film we have chosen for this edition, is The Transporter. Made in 2003 it is at the end of the golden age but was still a big hit on the DVD market. The movie is significant for tough guy actor and former diver, Jason Statham who had played memorable supporting roles in Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. In The Transporter, "The Sta...
Action Movie Landfill: Lethal Weapon
October 04, 2022 20:50 - 104 MBIn a brand new series of podcasts from the Oddjob Pod, we celebrate the classic action movies of the golden age of sell-through videos. For our first episode, Gary, Terry and Graham have been off down to the Our Price store and picked up a VHS copy of Lethal Weapon.

Goldeneye (or how Eric Serra saved James Bond)
September 19, 2022 17:00 - 99.8 MBThe OddjobPod turns its eyes to new frontiers in the James Bond movie with the debut of the much loved actor, Pierce Brosnan, as 007 in Goldeneye. This film has a considerable legacy, not just in redining the movies for the 1990s but also for it's impact on the video gaming industry that is still felt today.

Mind the James Bond gap - Early 90s action movies
June 21, 2022 17:24 - 95.9 MBThe early 90s was a fallow period for James Bond fans. With Tim Dalton confirmed as not returning to the role of 007 and Eon Productions embroiled in legal disputes it looked like JB may never return to the big screen. And James Bond was also meeting his match in the shape of a host of ambitious action and spy thrillers produced by the emboldened Hollywood studios. Be they working class heroes like John McClane and Martin Riggs to CIA agent Jack Ryan. Or the big budget Arnold Schwarzenegge...
A Sliding Doors Moment - Licence To Kill
April 13, 2022 17:06 - 87.6 MBNo sooner had the Dalton era started but it finished. The second film starring Timothy Dalton and James Bond 007 has its critics and did not perform as well as had been hoped in the box office. However, for its fans it is an authentic James Bond film with maybe a late 80s action movie twist. Terry, Graham and Gary take great pleasure diving deep into this tale of revenge in which Bond goes rogue. Uncommon for Bond films at the time but a foreshadow of the types of Bond movies to come...
The beginning and end of an era: The Living Daylights
February 21, 2022 14:23 - 98.1 MBThe OddjobPod returns from its brief detour, taking in the No Time To Die and hosting the World Cup of Bond Songs, and resumes its chronological review of the James Bond movies with a thorough shake-down of The Living Daylights. Timothy Dalton's first outing as 007 exists in something of a sweet spot for Graham, Gary & Terry and we have a lot of fondness for Tim and the extremely likeable cast. Download the podcast here and listen to us discuss the living daylights out of this film. Or ...
All the time in the World: Reflections on No Time To Die
December 12, 2021 19:59 - 96.6 MBWith Australia out of lockdown and Gary having finally made it to a cinema to watch it, we are delighted to offer listeners our opinions on No Time To Die.

The happiness of Contessa de Bleuchamp: On Her Majesty's Secret Service
August 31, 2021 10:10 - 87.8 MBLong time listeners to our podcast will know of our love for On Her Majesty's Secret Service. However, we've never devoted an entire episode to this film until now. Listen then to our assessment of George Lazenby's solitary outing ads James Bond. Is it's accolade as one of the best Bond films ever made warranted? Download the podcast and have a listen. Or you can listen to it on the player below. The Oddjob Pod is also available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Amazon. Alternatively, a...
Welcome back, Diamonds Are Forever
August 01, 2021 10:24 - 115 MBUnlike our Thunderball podcast, where we received a negative reaction to our opinions, we weren't expecting too many people to leap to the defence of Diamonds Are Forever. Least of all ourselves. While much loved at the time, DAF has not worn well in the eyes of many Bond fans. In fact, it is a film that both Graham & Terry have considered to be among the worst. But this latest rewatch has given us pause and forced us to reconsider our opinions. Have we done a 180 on Sean Connery's fi...
Ken finally gets his Volcano - You Only Live Twice
May 30, 2021 12:00 - 101 MBLove it or hate it, there is no denying that You Only Live Twice is an unforgettable movie. The lavish sets, exotic locations, and iconic villain mark it as one of the most visually impressive Bond films which has, over time, become a cultural touchstone. That said the movie is flawed and not without its critics. In this episode of The Oddjob Pod, Gary, Graham and Terry discuss this penultimate official Bond outing of Sean Connery. We celebrate its triumphs and call out its failures and...
Thunderball was a box office smash so why doesn't it work for many Bond fans?
May 03, 2021 21:47 - 83.1 MBFancy cars, smart suits, exotic locations, fiendish plots, and beautiful girls. Thunderball has all the ingredients to be a classic James Bond film, including the box office receipts. The fourth entry into the James Bond franchise, released in 1967, was the most successful until Skyfall in 2012. And yet if you ask many Bond aficionados to rank their favourites, Thunderball will not rate highly. In this episode of the OddjobPod, Gary, Graham, and Terry take a deep dive into this film an...
Overdosing on Bon Bois - Goldfinger
March 07, 2021 10:36 - 86.6 MBSince this podcast started in 2012 we've never dedicated an entire episode to Goldfinger. In this episode, we rectify that mistake. Join Gary, Terry and Graham as they relive what is for many the definitive Bond film. A movie that's cultural impact and influence on the James Bond franchise lives on, over half a century later. Download the MP3 or listen to this episode or on the player below. The Oddjob Pod is on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Amazon. (if you like the show please give i...
The only Bond film Sam Mendes has seen - From Russia With Love
February 13, 2021 11:37 - 86 MBGary, Terry and Graham return for another edition of The OddJobPod. In this episode we continue our review of the James Bond films of Sir Sean Connery with a thorough shakedown of the classic From Russia With Love. Regular listeners will recall that this film one our World Cup of James Bond films. As we don our analytical hats and explore the second film of the James Bond franchise we ask: does it still deserves that high accolade? Download the MP3 or listen to this episode or on the ...
He asked for a volcano and got a shed - Dr No
January 14, 2021 15:01 - 105 MBHaving performed a thorough inspection of Roger's canon the Oddjob Pod returns for a thorough examination of the Bond films of Sean Connery, beginning at the beginning: Dr No. We had slight misgivings about resisting a film that will be 60 years old next year but was pleasantly surprised at how Terence Young's original Bond held up, despite the films obvious problematic elements. So join Gary, Terry and Graham as we go hunting dragons, bikini-clad temptresses and ridiculously magnified ...
The Films of Sir Sean Connery
November 08, 2020 19:00 - 87.3 MBFollowing the news that the original James Bond actor Sir Sean Connery has died, Gary, Graham and Terry reflect on his work and its impact. We also take a moment to remember Dame Diana Rigg who also died very recently. Download the MP3 or listen to this episode or on the player below.

Catflap Sex Voyeurism - A View To A Kill
September 06, 2020 19:26 - 116 MBA View To A Kill represents the end of an era in the James Bond universe. Although not known at the time it was to be the final outing for Roger Moore. Hereafter, Bond movies took a slight tonal shift which means that this film proved to be the last of its kind. Sadly, in part due to the age of its leading man but also, it's uninspired, out of the box plot, flawed set up and tired dialogue, A View To A Kill is not celebrated. However, the dynamite performances of Christopher Walken and G...
The last days of the Raj - Octopussy
August 17, 2020 11:08 - 92.3 MBThere is no better way to illustrate late the Roger Moore period of James Bond than our hero calmly diffusing a nuclear bom while wearing a clown suit. The high stakes circus act that is Octopussy is a much loved, fondly remembered outing with some memorable action sequences and a stellar ensemble. However it has its problems, specifically with it's colonial attitudes and portrayal of South Asian characters. At least for some fans these are problems. In this episode of the OddjobPod T...
First, dig two graves - For Your Eyes Only
June 23, 2020 19:23 - 103 MBGary, Terry and Graham return for another plunge into the deep waters of the Roger Moore James Bond Universe. In the episode we turn our gaze to the 1981 down-to-earth antidote to Moonraker: For Your Eyes Only This film marked something of a changing of the guard for the production team and this may explain its lack of confidence. However, there is plenty of fun to be had in spite of some of the more cringe-worthy scenes you'll find in the Bond franchise. Download the MP3 or listen to...
Oddjob Pod gets Wood Part 2 - Moonraker
May 09, 2020 17:48 - 90.3 MBGary, Terry and Graham are back for another podcast of sizzling James Bond chat. In this episode we focus on the second Bond film written by Christopher Wood. Long standing listeners will know that this is not a universally loved film among the Oddjob Pod crew. Gary is not a fan but both Graham and Terry consider it to be one of the strongest of Roger Moore's outings. Can Gary be talk around and persuaded as to the virtue of this glorious piece of absurd cinema? Stream or download the pod...
Moonraker - An under-appreciated classic
May 08, 2020 13:11Let me ask you a question: If you shoot up the flight deck of a Handley Page HP.137 Jetstream 1, will it render it un-pilotable? Before you answer that may I ask another? If you were contracted to kill a notorious British secret agent and had succeeded in luring him into your Jetstream with the promise of champagne and high altitude sex, would it not be better to just shoot him and spare him the opportunity to escape? While you are here, perhaps you’ll indulge me with a third question… If...
Oddjob Pod gets Wood Part 1 - The Spy Who Loved Me
April 18, 2020 17:02 - 94.7 MBAsk any fan for their top five James Bond films and most will include The Spy Who Loved Me among them. After the dismal failure of The Man With The Golden Gun. the James Bond franchise was having an existential crisis. Harry Salzman had left, Kevin McClory was hovering around, threatening to make a rival film which prevented Cubby Broccolli from reintroducing Blofeld and Spectre back into the Bond fold. 007 needed a big statement film to stay relevant and re-engage the public and in The S...
Not from where I'm standing - The Man With The Golden Gun
April 01, 2020 06:30 - 76.6 MBAs James Bond fans we wll have a special place in the heart for those films from it's half century run that we love but know deep down is a bit of a stinker. The Man With The Golden Gun is such a film. Roger Moore's second outing as 007 is also co-producer Harry Salzman's final Bond film and between the hokey, tacked on plot, dissappointing ticket reciepts and subsequent legal wranglings following Salzman's departure the film almost ended the franchise. Quite an achievement, given the stel...
007 DNA - What makes a great James Bond film?
February 23, 2020 20:30 - 87.5 MBTerry, Gary and Graham return for another podcast of James Bond chat. We begin with a quick reaction to the title song to No Time To Die by Grammy Award winner Billie Eilish. We attempt to place it among the oeuvre of Bond tunes and reflect on our own personal favourites. Then we turn to our main topic and ask what are the key elements that make up a classic James Bond film? Our discussion ranges from music to locations, to chases to hokey plane-car chases on snow. File this one under ge...
An unsatisfactory underwater climax - Never Say Never Again
October 07, 2019 20:06 - 67.5 MBIs Never Say Never Again a proper James Bond film? This is the question at the centre of our latest episode of the Oddjob Pod. Irvin Kershner's 1983 rebel Bond film based on Kevin McLorey and Ian Fleming's original story for Thunderball was a hugely controversial outing at the time but it was also a critical and box office success. This was, of course, mainly thanks to in part thanks to the return of Sean Connery to the role of Bond but also due to the outstanding cast and crew that contri...

A Farrago of Question Time panelists - Part of the World Cup of Bond Villains
April 07, 2019 12:08 - 69.7 MBJoin us as we enter the final preliminary round of our World Cup of Bond Villains. Our mammoth qualification period comes to an end. In this final round we assess the effectiveness or otherwise of Alec Trevelyan, Elektra King, Gustav Graves and Dominic Green. Quite the farrago of felony I'm sure you'll agree. With the exception of Trevelyan in Goldeneye, the movies in which these characters appear are not among the most celebrated among critics and Bond fandom (although all these films ha...
Connery era villains: Part of the World Cup of Bond Villains
February 03, 2019 21:35 - 69.8 MBThe preliminaries of our World Cup of Bond Villains continues with our celebration of the villains of the Sean Connery period, namely Dr No, Rosa Klebb, Kronsteen, Emilio Largo and of course Auric Goldfinger. Through these characters we discuss the development of the Bond villain and in some cases, ask if some are relocatable today. There, also some side conversations about the quality of or indeed existence of these villain's secret lairs. We also wonder which is the better way to go: dro...

That is characters who might have been Blofeld if Eon had been able to make use of him or at the very least owe a great deal to Blofeld.

Over the next few months we'll be dissecting all the Bond villains, before slowly lowering them into a shark tank, closing the doors and assuming the it all goes to plan. At the conclusion of our exhaustive dive into this cavalcade of fearsome fiends we will hold a World Cup of Bond Villains, deciding once and for all, who is the greatest of them all... in our opinion. We kick off...
Peak Roger - Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker & For Your Eyes Only
December 27, 2017 18:04 - 53.3 MBOn this edition of the Oddjob Pod we discuss the three films in the 007 franchise that we characterise as "Peak Roger" - that being Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker & For Your Eyes Only. That is not to say that these are the best Bond films of Roger Moore's canon but these are the films that, in our opinion, represent his time as James Bond and when the franchise was at its peak.

This never happened to the other fella - George Lazenby & OHMSS
November 26, 2017 20:14 - 68.9 MBThe Oddjob Pod returns for another edition of James Bond chat. In this episode Gary, Terry and Graham discuss George Lazenby and his solitary 007 outing: On Her Majesty's Secret Service. This film is much loved by many Bond fans but often maligned by non-Bond aficionados. We discuss what we love and about this movie and consider whether or not George deserves the criticism he received over the years. The timing of the episode is not entirely coincident with the recent release of Lazenby...
