James Bond has a long history in film, but before the suave, debonair spy came to the screen he got started in Ian Fleming’s novel in a much different form. In episode 304, Join Luke & James as they try to find something to like in a more sexist version of Bond, get lost in the rules of baccarat, and speculate about what future books in this series might look like. Join them next week when they compare the book to the film starring Daniel Craig and directed by Martin Campbell!
