Idiot Bond Fan

We got a new Bond theme song this week...sort of. The new title track for "First Light" was released (along with the last significant marketing push for the game) literally hours after the CinemaCon Amazon MGM presentation. Coincidence or deliberate? I'll debate the theory tonight and give you my impressions on the new song. In addition, I'll discuss how the strategy behind IOI Interactive's debut of "First Light" should be something that the film folks are paying significant attention to. Listen and learn.

Twenty years...wow just saying that out loud is crazy. I remember where I was the day I saw Casino Royale in the cinema for the first time. And I also recall the uneasy, confused, and slightly annoyed feeling that it left me with all those years ago. But Casino Royale grew on me, year by year, and has risen in the ranks to top of my Bond favorites. Looking back, it's been quite a ride. And I'm excited to celebrate this phenomenal entry this year.

Did you take the Bait? (The show) And my bait and switch...

Here's my short little take on Bait, the new Amazon limited series staring Riz Ahmed. I enjoyed it. I watched it. And here's why you should too.

Season 3 has finally arrived! New topics, new surprises, and new guest stars. Tonight, I'm thrilled to welcome the award-winning Billboard Top 10 recording artist, Kendra Erika, who just released her newest album "License to Thrill." And thrill it does!
This bold new musical venture features ten complete reinterpretations of Bond classic theme songs, with love to Bond fans, from a self-described Bond fan. We'll discuss the inspirations behind the arrangements, her Bond history growing up, and what makes this album stand out from all the xerox covers that have come before.
Stream this fantastic new collection of music on all major platforms now and stay tuned for upcoming tour dates around the globe to hear Kendra's sultry and seductive voice reinvent the wheel in the best way possible when it comes to Bond music. You won't be disappointed.

How can you incorporate James Bond into your home decor, furnishings, artwork, and design? Well, I'm in the middle of doing just that, so I'm your perfect source of inspiration on this one. Another insanely, unrelated Bond topic (subjective of course) to discuss on this special episode tonight: finding those moments in production design, set decoration, and even in title art and procuring pieces for your home that draw inspiration from the Bond films. You'll be surprised how many opportunities there are to do so that you haven't considered yet!
