007 Rewind: James Bond - the past, present and future

The James Bond franchise has thrilled audiences for over six decades, evolving with each era while keeping its suave spy spirit alive. With Amazon recently taking creative control of the James Bond franchise from the Broccoli family, as 007 fans, we can’t help but dive into what’s next for our favourite spy. We’re excited yet nervous about how this shift might shake up Bond’s world.

In this episode, we reminisce about the glory days, from Sean Connery’s cool swagger in Goldfinger to Daniel Craig’s raw intensity in Casino Royale, debating what made those films legendary—gadgets like ejector seats, epic chases, and villains that still haunt our dreams.

But it’s not just nostalgia driving us; we’re also speculating on Amazon’s impact. Will they keep Bond’s essence alive or churn out spin-offs that water it down? Could Henry Cavill be the next 007, or will a fresh face step up?

It’s a conversation full of passion, laughs, and a bit of worry for the future of the franchise we adore.
