Global James Bond Day 2019
Hello dear listeners!
Saturday October 5th was Global James Bond Day, so say the official big wigs at EON. But who cares if the whole thing is just a massive corporate ploy to push a brand and make even more money, it feels quite obvious that over the years the fans around the world have slowly taken over the day and truly made it their own. Organized activities such as live streams in which multiple hosts of fan-driven social media platforms got together, communal outings for the Skyfall in Concert premier in London, evenings at casinos, the fans were out in droves to show off their love and dedication to the 007 franchise.
The James Bond Complex was no exception, with hosts Mathieu and Edgar filling in this celebratory episode with as many 00 guests as possible, both in the actual studio and via Skype. Recorded in the afternoon of October 5th, this week’s episode is a free style, free flowing conversation about all things Bond with newcomer guests Carmine Ruscitto from From Montreal With Love, all around cool cat Pierre-Olivier Bernier, and last but certainly not least, the show’s man in the field, the International Man of Mystery himself, Jason Kim.
No Time to Die teaser poster, the lack of a teaser trailer, best gunbarrels, best hats (!), 007 video games, age appropriate drinking restrictions, the connection our guests have with the franchise, and so much more. Even the hosts themselves get royally schooled on a bit of trivia!
Whether you missed out on the fun or were neck deep in Bond goodiness for the big day, we hope this week’s episode provides a peak into how we celebrated as you’re all invited to listen in on a long-winded but all around great conversation featuring 5 dedicated fans.
Enjoy!
