JBCI is back after our summer break. We’re kicking off our next series of podcasts with a Daniel Craig retrospective. The 6th 007 made 5 films over 15 years and took Bond to a more human, grounded and bruising place. It’s been 4 years since we last had a 007 movie, so we discuss how the Craig era is holding up. Is it all melodrama, trauma and tight-fitting suits? Or a refreshingly relatable character pushing himself to the limits? We thrash it out. You decide. Part 2 coming in 2 weeks.
