How is America treated in the James Bond series?
This episode of 'James Bond & Friends' is hosted by James Page with guests Lisa Funnell, Bill Koenig, and Ben Williams.
We kick off this week talking about the use of American locations in the James Bond novels and films, and quickly get detoured in to a deeper discussion about how the lense of Bond bends the relationship between the UK and the US through distortions and battles of power, culture, and sex. Along the way, we stumble upon rogue palm trees, 2 am commutes to Fort Knox, Welsh paddy fields, and banishing 007 from LA.
