No Time to Die & the Death of James Bond

"The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." Welcome back... to THE BOND CORNER. Your host A. J. Black, joined by special guests, takes you on a regular journey into the expansive world of 007, looking at the books, movies, games and wider subjects around the character and his universe. In this first main episode, Tony is joined by podcaster Mark McManus to discuss 2021's No Time to Die in the context of the death of James Bond. One of the most divisive moves in any 007 film, the death of Daniel Craig's incarnation marks No Time to Die as a unique outing in the Bond canon, for better or worse. But how do you kill Bond in the modern age? How can he ever return? And what do audiences struggle to grasp about the continuity of this immortal character? Host / Editor A. J.
