In this podcast they discuss all things 007, the actors, the girls, the villains and the gadgets.

This time is was Gary's turn to fish out a dusty VHS, slot it into the machine and see if it's worth keeping or chucking back on the pile. His choice? An absolute doozy: Paul Michael Glazer's distopian sci-fi actioner, The Running Man starring Arnold Scwarzenegger.  Download the podcast here  or listen on the player below.

This film was hugely anticipated after the success of Skyfall but doesn't quite land in the way it should despite being a beautifully shot film and a fine example of the Brown genre.

A periodic dive into the almost limitless mound of action filmsfrom the sell through era in the late twentieth, early twenty first century. For this episode it was down to Terry to choose and it’sfair to say that he chose… poorly. Not for the first time Terry allowed his fond memories of afilm from years gone by to cloud his judgement and selected the politicalaction thriller from 1997: The Peacemaker. Starring Nicole Kidman and George Clooney, this big budgetblockbuster was directed by Mimi Leder and reflects that post cold war, pre 911spot where studio representations of US foreign policy was resolutely in denialof their place in the world. Watching back now it seems naïve. The films crude characterisationsand dated tropes mean that it does not hold up to contemporary scrutiny and isbest enjoyed with a time machine.

The second film starring Timothy Dalton and James Bond 007 has its critics and did not perform as well as had been hoped in the box office.  However, for its fans it is an authentic James Bond film with maybe a late 80s action movie twist.  Terry, Graham and Gary take great pleasure diving deep into this tale of revenge in which Bond goes rogue. Uncommon for Bond films at the time but a foreshadow of the types of Bond movies to come. Download the podcast here  or you can listen to it on the player below.

Least of all ourselves.  While much loved at the time, DAF has not worn well in the eyes of many Bond fans. In fact, it is a film that both Graham & Terry have considered to be among the worst.  But this latest rewatch has given us pause and forced us to reconsider our opinions.  Have we done a 180 on Sean Connery's final official James Bond outing?

That said the movie is flawed and not without its critics. In this episode of The Oddjob Pod , Gary, Graham and Terry discuss this penultimate official Bond outing of Sean Connery. We celebrate its triumphs and call out its failures and ask ourselves where it sits in our affection. (spoiler: some of us love this movie more than others). So what are you waiting for, Bondsan .

Thunderball has all the ingredients to be a classic James Bond film, including the box office receipts.  The fourth entry into the James Bond franchise, released in 1967, was the most successful until Skyfall in 2012.And yet if you ask many Bond aficionados to rank their favourites, Thunderball will not rate highly.  In this episode of the OddjobPod, Gary, Graham, and Terry take a deep dive into this film and articulate why it disappoints when stacked up against other Bond movies, especially its illustrious predecessor, Goldfinger.  We also answer the burning question: if Thunderball were a Premier League club, who would be their manager?
