The Pod of Five Rings Ep. 7 - 007

"Bond. James Bond." When you hear that name it means one of two things is about to happen.
1. You're about to sit down and enjoy an installment of the longest running, most successful action adventure film franchise or
2. You're about to die.

In this week's Pod of 5 Rings, hosts @joe_cebula and @rock.n.rowland pull a double feature to discuss the 1967 Sean Connery led "You Only Live Twice" and the 2006 Daniel Craig "Casino Royale." We discuss how action filmmaking tactics have evolved between the two films, the impact of Bond on the cultural zeitgeist, and what it is that makes 007 such an everlasting character.
