*Full disclosure, as mentioned on Twitter and Facebook already, while the overall audio quality of this episode is fine, listeners will certainly detect a distinct static noise in the background. We had some technical difficulties that were only fixed in the second hour of our discussion. Part 2 will sound much better!

Hello dear listeners!

(breathes in intensely through nostrils)

Can you smell it? That\u2019s the smell of excitement that comes when we are at the dawn of a new James Bond film. It stands to reason the film will make a lot of money. Further adding to the studios coffers will be tie-in products such as \u2018\u2019making of books\u2019\u2019, Orlebar Brown and N. Peal clothing collections, specialty bottles of various alcoholic beverages, etc. But how else can an intellectual property such as 007 earn more bounty? How could one EXPAND the franchise and seduce more fans?

Listeners may remember in the spring of 2018 we released The Bond Expansion Volume 1 in which Mathieu and Edgar offered ideas as to how the franchise can break new ground. Well, out of the ashes of Edgar\u2019s decrepit amusement park and in the aftermath of Mathieu\u2019s cancelled pilot episode of Agents of S.P.E.C.T.R.E. comes another attempt at helping EON, Danjaq and co. reach new heights of glory. Welcome to The Bond Expansion Volume 2!

But this time, they\u2019re not alone!

Our man in the field, the international man of mystery himself Jason Kim joins in on the fun, as does a voice that should be familiar to those that listened to the French version of our \u201cDemain de meurt jamais\u201d episode (that\u2019s TND for those that aren\u2019t fluent in Moli\xe8re speak), Rodrigo Gonzalez.

In Part 1 of this epic 2-part bonanza, Jason and Rodrigo each take their turn at exploring the infinite possibilities. Creativity, edge of your seat excitement\u2026controversy? The ideas are so clever and at times hilarious, we won\u2019t even bother to spoil them with inside jokes in this synopsis. You\u2019ll just have to listen to the episode!

Sit back, relax, and open your mind to how the James Bond phenomenon can take on even greater shapes and forms!
