No Time To Die
My first ever movie review on this channel, 2 years on, time to share my first impressions of the 25th James Bond film from EON Productions. I give my views, and wander down a few little rabbit holes, as is my style.
I talk about my personal journey with this film, three of the major talking points (full spoilers, so only listen if you've seen the film), and run through my highlights when watching. No surprise here if you've listened to Episode 118; I put this in the upper-middle of my overall 007 film ranking.
Below, I have some videos I made about different aspects on NTTD; one on a location, one on a cocktail using the Blackwell Rum Bond drinks in the film, and one on a book in James Bond’s home. That last one is part of a set reviewing the most prominent books in his home.
At time of recording the below episode, the 25th James Bond film was soon to be in cinemas.
According to EON Productions, “In No Time To Die, Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica…” obviously this peace will be short-lived (otherwise it would be a dull film), but we have seen some gorgeous photos of Bond’s retirement home. The photos show some interesting choices in reading material, alcohol, and food. All of these choices will be reviewed in detail here, I thoroughly tested them all. I previously reviewed the books on ‘British Culture: Albion Never Dies’ Youtube channel, but this podcast version goes into much deeper depth about the authors and contains more content from the books themselves.
In the movie, James Bond drinks some Blackwell Rum. I created a cocktail using this special rum, which a friend christened ‘Miss Rummy-Penny’.
A 5-minute video on the book I enjoyed the most out of James Bond’s ‘retirement’ collection.
