S2E007 The Amazon era begins: meet Bond’s new producers

Javi Trujillo, Bill Koenig and David Leigh get together once again for a wide-ranging discussion on the new producers taking the helm of the James Bond franchise at Amazon MGM Studios. We explore who they are, what their backgrounds might reveal, and how their influence could shape the future of 007 on screen.

Before we get into that, we talk about the Oscars tribute to Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson and how it was hastily assembled to be ready just days after the news that they had agreed to give up creative control of 007 to Amazon MGM. We also reflect on the recent deaths of Bruce Glover—Mr Wint from Diamonds Are Forever—and legendary Bond poster artist Robert McGinnis. Plus, there’s a preview of Raymond Benson’s upcoming Felix Leiter novel and our thoughts on the new 4K Sean Connery Bond box set.

Whether you’re a longtime Bond fan or just curious about what’s next for the series, there’s plenty to enjoy in this episode.

Recorded on 11th April 2025 in the United States and Spain.
