Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The 007 Files, Javi Trujillo, Bill Koenig and David Leigh dive into a flurry of new Bond news. We begin with Ian Fleming Publications’ surprising pivot: a forthcoming book series featuring a retired James Bond teaching kids to be agents, aimed squarely at 8–12-year-olds. Is it a clever way to get children reading—or a misunderstanding of what kids really respond to?We also unpack the freshly released trailer for 007: First Light, the new video game origin story, and what it tells us about the tone and direction. Plus, there’s a brand-new 4K restoration of the Connery classics and some long-awaited Bond soundtrack remasters from La-La Land Records.A packed show for Bond fans of all stripes—young, old, and digitally remastered.Recorded in the USA and Spain on 12th June 2025.Where to find usBill Koenighttps://hmssweblog.wordpress.com/Javi Trujillohttps://bsky.app/profile/javitru.bsky.social or https://www.instagram.com/thebondisnotenough/David Leighhttps://www.thejamesbonddossier.com/
