Bondathon: Moonraker
December 01, 2023 20:54 - 3 hours - 251 MBJames Bond in space. What could go wrong with a premise like that? A lot, as it turns out. If you want to suggest the next podcast subject or put us right on our facts just email us at [email protected] or message our instagram @weekpointspodcast We love you all, bye x
Review catch up: Cocaine Bear, The Art of Darkness: The History of Goth, Masterchef, Air, X, AI anxiety
May 03, 2023 13:59 - 2 hours - 196 MBIt's a real mixed bag of a show as we take a break from our Bondathon to look at some of the other things that have taken out interest, so you can expect to hear us talk about our love of trash 80's and 90's videos, Rich having a breakdown over the imminent take over of artificial intelligence as well as his love of all things gothic drama. Nick brings us Cocaine Bear, Air, Cocaine Air Bear and Bare Bears Air Coke Ware. Masterchef gets a shout along with the dulcet tones and typing of Tom ...
Bondathon: Goldfinger Part Two
March 26, 2023 15:20 - 1 hour - 106 MBAH! AH! It's the second part of our Goldfinger episode. Sean Connery is still desperately trying to contain the hairs on his legs, 007 James Bond is still trying to comprehend a woman having more than one qualification and a rather disturbing collection of American mobster accents is assembled to receive some needlessly elaborate exposition from Auric. You'll find Pussy Galore here too. I tried to find a way not to include that but it's not beneath me so there it is. email your thoughts ...
Bondathon: Goldfinger Part One
March 25, 2023 18:20 - 2 hours - 196 MBWe're back with another hairy legged Sean Connery James Bond. This time 007 is trying catch Goldfinger, which must be one of the few things that Bond hasn't caught, the filthy animal. Because we went through the film in minute comedic detail it did go on in length so we've split it in two just to give your ears a breather. Format is a little bit different too so let us know what you think and any other films or subjects you want us to look at at [email protected] we love you, b...
Bondathon: Octopussy
November 16, 2022 18:41 - 3 hours - 305 MBRoger Moore is back! And he's on the hunt for eight pussies! Or just one that's eight sided maybe, it's not clear. Surprisingly this film turned out to be our most polarising, especially as we seemed to agree about everything right up to the point where we decided whether it was any good. Help our James Bond affliction by subscribing and writing something nice on the podcast app of your choice. WARNING: THE POD CONTAINS SPOILERS obviously, and BAD LANGUAGE, less obviously. Send us your ...
Bondathon: Licence To Kill
November 08, 2022 19:20 - 3 hours - 251 MBDalton is back for his second and last appearance as Bond. In the pod you'll find references to the various "Gun Barrel" bond theme openings, specifically Brosnans works office award ceremony which you will find amongst this magnificent collection -https://youtu.be/3TAMEgqT6T0 Licence To Kill has a great theme but the best version of it is probably this one where Gladys Knight not only vocally smashes it but is backed up by a great tight band in the BBC Concert Orchestra -https://youtu.be...
Bondathon: Die Another Day
September 28, 2022 16:57 - 4 hours - 340 MBAnother day, another Bond, this time it's Pierced Johnson taking the lead. For some reason this film took some explaining so it's a marathon long one. I would advise a break in the middle, like console games and overly preachy cars tell you to do now, or maybe just go to bed and fall asleep to it. It had all the ingredients for a great Bond: decent director, good lead, great supporting cast with Berry and Pike, the basics of a good script: so did all these mix together successfully? Well...
Bondathon: The Living Daylights
July 25, 2022 14:41 - 3 hours - 277 MBThe year is 19Dalton7, The film is The Living Daylights. A new Bond for a new era. Will Timothy Dalton's Bond be a cold hearted bad boy or a louche sexual lothario? Or maybe just that bloke in the office who you aren't really sure what he does and it's only when he has to give a quick talk on some new health and safety rules that you realise you haven't heard him speak before. Find out in this weeks episode. Tell me what your heart is bursting to say on email at weekpointspodcast@gmail....
Bondathon: For Your Eyes Only
June 29, 2022 18:45 - 2 hours - 236 MBThe pods first look at a Roger Moore Bond. Dressed to stand, not to run, this is a very different 007. We'll also learn to never trust a man of the cloth, how a tailored ski jacket could change your life, what the best deals in holiday car rentals are and what Bond's opium resistance levels are at in 1981. Send your thoughts, beliefs, corrections, fever dreams to [email protected] We love you, bye x
Bondathon: Skyfall
June 13, 2022 18:45 - 3 hours - 264 MBAnother DC effort where he fights villains until he finally gets to audition for Homes Under The Hammer.

Bondathon: Thunderball
June 01, 2022 21:47 - 3 hours - 251 MBAnother James Bond marathon pod and this time it's fan favourite Thunderball. It's also got a theme song so poor that we've made some new ones. Send us your Bond thoughts to [email protected] We love you, Thunderbye x
Bondathon: Casino Royale
May 26, 2022 10:05 - 3 hours - 292 MBSorry, the audio is rubbish at the start so skip or stick with it. It does get much better. After death and destruction in our real lives we are back and escaping the grim realities with 007. If you haven't already watched Casino Royale (the Daniel Craig version) I'd watch it before listening, it should make more sense that way. Send your love and/or hate to [email protected]
Film Club: 1974 The Arena & Return of the Barbarian Women
October 07, 2020 20:43 - 1 hour - 73.4 MBIt should be noted that we watched both of these but didn't record the review until 6 weeks later, hence our hazy recollections.
