Fleming Second Edition: CR with Bill Koenig
Hello dear listeners,
After much hoopla and anticipation, the time has finally arrived to start our Fleming Second Edition series! We\'ll we re-reading and discussing each of Ian Fleming\'s James Bond novels and short story collections along with a guest each time. We begin with, what else, 1953\'s \"Casino Royale.\" Long time friend of the show Bill Koenig of the Spy Command blog joins us.
Talking about Casino Royale got us so excited we just couldn\'t help ourselves but bounce off a plethora of topics: listening to audio books, Dan Stevens as James Bond and Peter Lorre, a one-off Netflix movie with Bond Leiter Mathis and Tiger Tanaka playing poker, Bond\'s dubious secret agent IQ, in the incredibly important Mr. Dupont, double origin stories, turning the corner on the \"Vesper as an amorphous blob\" sentiment, and much more!
So sit back, relax, crack open your copy of Casino Royale and join us for the inaugural Fleming Second Edition. Besides, the scent and smoke and sweat of a casino are so nauseating at three in the morning. It\'s more comfortable here!
