As promised, The James Bond Character Study returned & will return at least once a month until we finally get the newest film, No Time To Die this Thanksgiving. You can find the previous two installments on Sean Connery & George Lazenby in our newly formed playlist on our Soundcloud feed, and stay tuned for our next episode in May on Timothy Dalton. But this episode is all about Roger Moore.

We begin with a non-spoiler section by giving Mr. Moore an introduction with our Getting Into Character segment. This features a short bio, his casting story, and then a rundown of all 7 Roger Moore films as 007, including their box office tallies and Oscar nominations. Then we close out the non-spoiler section with a review of Moore’s performances & how the films impacted the industry.

Our spoiler section, which we do encourage you all to enjoy whether or not you’ve seen the films, because even if you don’t know what’s gonna happen - you kinda know what’s gonna happen and may even enjoy the re-watch more so after listening. Regardless, there’s a ton of fun to be had with all our pun-titled segments.

The Spy Who’s Not Me highlights the fantasy elements of the series. Live and Let Dad Joke recaps all the best one liners. Dr. Please Oh God No and Always Say Never Again discuss some of the lowlights. With Q Only Lives Once, we talk about the best gadgets, cars, & tech of the films. Why Tomorrow Never Dies and Goldfingers are a fun way to criticize why the villains allow Bond to survive and what we would have done differently. Then in License To Bill, we catalog & tally up all of the damages that 007 costs in real taxpayer dollars. One of our dads might be a city accountant.
