Editing Bond With Simon Drake - Part 2: the 70s

Published: March 9, 2022, 7 a.m.

Hello dear listeners,

\n

We hope you enjoy discussions about film editing. Like, really REALLY like discussions about film editing, because we\u2019re back this week to analyze more Bond films with a finely toothed comb. That\u2019s right, it\u2019s time to look at how the films of the 70s were stitched together.

\n

Rest assured, we do our best to be as entertaining as we are (mostly) informative. How can we not when good friend of the show Simon Drake is back to accompany us? Consider the impressive topics we touch upon: sausage factories, editing while eating breakfast, Richard Lester style humour, which Bond is Simon\u2019s favourite, Micheline star restaurants and McDonald\u2019s, more UNWARRANTED TMWTGG hate, filming peanuts on the ground, pulling large tubes out of things, the phobia of falling out of a plane without a parachute, and tripping on 7Gs.

\n

So sit back, relax, and let us take you into the editing bay of the Bond films of the 70s.
