#103: Diamonds Are Forever with Agent Cam

This time we’re joined by Agent Cam (“SpyHards” podcast) for a discussion of the commentary for Sean Connery’s final official effort as James Bond, 1971’s “Diamonds Are Forever”. Among the things discussed: the rationale for Lex Luthor’s plans in “Superman”, whether or not this was a knee-jerk overreaction to the previous film, just who exactly Bond is avenging in the cold open, henchmen who hold hands, the Ford Motor Company’s contributions to the production, strip-mining the Ian Fleming books for scenes and titles, visiting Circus Circus before it was a hotel, and so much more.

Ryan’s Recommendations: “From Russia with Love” (1963), “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” (1969), and “Casino Royale” (2006)
