This week we are joined by one of the most interesting and thoughtful voices in Bond fandom, License to Queer’s David Lowbridge-Ellis MBE. David has made a name for himself exploring why James Bond appeals so much to LGBTQIA+ people and reappraising the Bond universe through queer lenses. Forhis Build-A-Bond, David makes things as difficult as possible for himself by enforcing multiple rules on his film, all of which lead to a Bond film unlike any other we’ve had on the show before.
Part 007 love-in, part queer deconstruction and part cinematic history, this weeks episode is what a podcast was always meant to be: a group of nerds nerding out about their favourite nerdy subject. We also offend the French and discuss some of Fraser’s favourite obstacle spanning structures.
Additional special guests include David’s cats and Fraser’s washing machine.
