But it's been a bit of a wild ride, recently... Sarah and Mikaela (reunited and it feels so good) recount what's been happening in their real lives recently, then our Thunderball guest and cover artist Jenny Panush answers the question "Do you fancy Sean Connery?" ...at some length.

Stay tuned for our Thunderball episode in the next couple of weeks!

Goldfinger was released in September 1964, following Sean Connery as James Bond through Miami, Switzerland and Kentucky, in hot pursuit of Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe), with additional pleasure and peril from Harold Sakata's Oddjob and the inimitable Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman). Pleasing p-words are pertinent with our pal this week, Princess Paige!

But if there was... in this expanded excerpt from our next full episode, guest Princess Paige asks Mikaela and Sarah an important and very confusing question.

From Russia with Love was released in October 1963, with Sean Connery's James Bond due east for the first time. A mystery MacGuffin, a beautiful consulate clerk (Daniela Bianchi), a dashing assassin (Robert Shaw), and a queer chanteuse (Lotte Lenya), acting in the role of Rosa Klebb, S.P.E.C.T.R.E. lesbian?

Dr. No was released in October 1962, starring Sean Connery as James Bond, a British MI6 agent sent to Jamaica to investigate the death of a fellow spy. Something weird is going on, and all signs suggest that Dr. Julius No, (played by Joseph Wiseman), is behind it.
