 We go back to the start of the primordial ooze from which the entire James Bond franchise springs forth from. And what an ooze it is! Not only do we discuss the original Casino Royale novel, but we also talk about Ian Flemming and his issues, which bleeds into the issues we have with Bond’s premiere. Spoiler alert: we find it rough. How rough?? We felt the need for a special trigger warning for this one. That’s how rough. Trigger Warning: a more in-depth discussion about misogyny, violence against women and sexual assault than our usual episodes. — Hosted by Chris Nyarady and Keegan Flick-Parker Edited by Chris Nyarady Logo by Keegan Flick-Parker Boozing & Bonding Theme by MissingNo (Check them out at missingnoband.bandcamp.com) Website: www.boozingandbonding.com

Boozing & Bonding

Book Club 003 – Casino Royale (Novel)

We return to the world of Dynamite Comics’ ultra violent James Bond for its second story arc: Eidolon. Do we enjoy this more than the previous Bond comic outing, or does it not stand a GHOST of a chance? Listen to find out!

Book Club 002 – Eidolon

In our first Boozing & Bonding Book Club special, we take a look at the first James Bond comic book arc produced by Dynamite Comics: VARGR. Do we have a bloody good time or a bloody bad time? Either way, it’s very bloody.

Book Club 001 – VARGR

 Keegan prepares a Jeopardy-style James Bond quiz for Chris! Can YOU get a higher score than him? (You probably can!) — Hosted by Chris Nyarady and Keegan Flick-Parker Edited by Chris Nyarady Logo by Keegan Flick-Parker Website: www.boozingandbonding.com

S-Branch 009 – Daily Double Oh Seven

 With the news of the passing of Sean Connery, we take a moment to look back at the troubled life, and career of the legendary Bond actor. Plus, we head back to Las Vegas to bring you bonus content from our Diamond Are Forever episode. — Hosted by Chris Nyarady and Keegan Flick-Parker Edited by Chris Nyarady Logo by Keegan Flick-Parker Website: www.boozingandbonding.com

S-Branch 008 – Sean Conplicated

 With the news that No Time to Die has been delayed (for the second time) Keegan and Chris take a moment to actually talk about their thoughts on Daniel Craig’s overdue upcoming Bond finale, as well as it’s troubling journey to actually be shown to the public during a global pandemic. As if that topic isn’t fun enough, we also play 2 Bond-themed games: a return to Mad-Libs and a horrible Bond movie review quiz! — Hosted by Chris Nyarady and Keegan Flick-Parker Edited by Chris Nyarady Logo by Keegan Flick-Parker Website: www.boozingandbonding.com

S-Branch 007 – Making Time for No Time to Die

 At long last, we return to the world on James Bond! And boy are we cranky, boarding on nihilistic, as we watch “Octopussy” (1983). How can the Boozing & Bonding Boys get mad at a film where James Bond dresses as a clown, gorilla, crocodile, and a horse’s ass?! Grab yourself a Chai Martini, touch some Fabergé eggs, and join us to find out! #ElephantsNeverForget — Hosted by Chris Nyarady and Keegan Flick-Parker Edited by Chris Nyarady Logo by Keegan Flick-Parker Boozing & Bonding Theme by MissingNo (Check them out at missingnoband.bandcamp.com) Website: www.boozingandbonding.com Drinks sponsored by Sons of Vancouver Distillery (Check them out at https://sonsofvancouver.ca/)

0013 – Octopussy

 Let’s just have fun you guys!! In this episode Keegan and Chris just wind back playin’ some games with the vague reoccurring theme of James Bond tying it all together. First we play a round of Mad Libs with fan submitted suggestions, and then things get wild as we let an AI complete James Bond fan fiction with us. Things get wild, y’all.

S-Branch 006 – Oops! All Games

Keegan and Chris return to talk about what James Bond films we’d like to be seen in a remake or reboot. Then we head back to Japan for cut content from You Only Live Twice, where foot fetishes are mentioned a lot. Chris is as confused as you are.

S-Branch 005 – Second Chances (Brought to you by WikiFeet)

 We’re joined by our first ever guest and friend of the show Lindsay Braynen (heymagicalgirl.com) as we dive in-depth back into the crocodile-infested waters of Live and Let Die to talk about the representation of Voodoo and black culture in this film, and so much more! We also play a game of mad-libs (unrelated.)

S-Branch 004 – You Only Live and Let Die Twice (ft. Lindsay Braynen)

 In our return to S-Branch, Keegan and Chris pitch hypothetical actors they’d want to see in the future of the Bond franchise. Some are jokes, some are serious, most of them are jumping the shark. Speaking of sharks, we return to our shark-filled episode of Thunderball for more bonus content!

S-Branch 003 – We Jumped the Shark

 It’s the long-delayed return of our sober sister podcast: S-Branch! Speaking of long-delayed, Chris gives Keegan an out of season Christmas gift, and we revisit cut content from our Goldfinger episode.

S-Branch 002 – Santa Bond

While enjoying some warm glühwein (mulled wine) the Boozing & Bonding Boys make a startling discovery: it’s harder to pay attention to serious movies when you’re drunk. Listen as they struggle to recall the plot of the (comparatively) grounded Bond film “For Your Eyes Only” (1981). Enjoy the good, the bad, and the uncomfortable in this retrospective Bond outing, that looks back on the past and paves the way for the rest of Bond’s films to come.

0012 – For Your Eyes Only

 Pack your bags folks! It’s time to blast off with Roger Moore’s 1979 Bond film Moonraker!! So grab your Tang and vodka, and get Astro-drunk with Keegan and Chris as they navigate the most cartoony of Bond’s outings. It’s a film where laser fights fit right in with a hovercraft gondola, a double-taking pigeon, and the most farfetched thing, love at first sight. Also, Jaws is back! Yay!

0011 – Moonraker

 Return with Roger Moore’s James Bond (or Mr Bund as some know him) for his 1977 film: The Spy Who Loved Me. A film where things seem familiar… maybe too familiar. Sharks, nukes, and Russians? Check, check and check! Join Keegan and Chris as they get tipsy on Moscow mules and become a pair of rude, rude boys this episode. Also, Jaws might be a vampire! Find out why by listening to the episode! *CHOMP*

0010 – The Spy Who Loved Me

Two friends (Keegan and Chris) rewatch every James Bond film and pair it with a delectable alcoholic beverage themed around the film they're watching. They watch the movie, drink, and then things get sloppy.
