Introducing our new stand of podcasts: While they were Bond.

In this new series we look at the film starring James Bond actors during their tenure as James Bond.

Our first episode focuses on Sidney Lumet's extraordinary and harrowing wartime prison drama, The Hill, starring Sean Connery who by 1965 was anxious to be cast in roles very different to 007. He certainly got his wish with this outstanding yet deeply controversial telling of life in a north African prison camp for British soldiers in World War 2.

The Action Movie Landfil is heading to Tombstone. AND HELL'S RIDING WITH US!

George P Cosmatos1993 western, retelling that great mythologised tale of the Gunfight at the OK Corral has been fished out of the landfill for full evaluation and appreciation.

Tombstone had a troubled production and there are elements that unravel sufficiently to deny it a place in one of the greatest westerns of all time. That said, our esteem for this film has few limits so if you're down in this movie then you best discard your red sash and head for the hills.

Want to feel old? Last year the Goldeneye 007 video game for the N64 turned 30 years old.

This game is and remains one of the most celebrated James Bond games ever and represented a breakthrough for Nintendo and in first person shoot-em-ups.

In this episode of the OddJob Pod, Gary, Graham and Terry share our own personal recollections of Goldeneye 007 and explore its legacy. We also talk about the broader 007 gaming universe, what Bond movies we'd want to see adapted as a game and in which direction the James Bond games could go with some interesting speculations.

Gary, Terry, and Graham are back with another edition of Action Movie Landfill. This time, Gary has dragged out John Woo’s 1996 nuclear heist thriller, Broken Arrow.

Woo arrived in Hollywood with a reputation for high-octane Hong Kong action movies, and just a year later he’d cement his legacy with the classic Face/Off, once again teaming up with John Travolta. But how much does Broken Arrow serve as a warm-up for Face/Off — or is the stronger link to screenwriter Graham Yost, the man who wrote the script for Speed?

For just over an hour, the gang rummage through desert chases, pantomime villainy, Hans Zimmer guitar riffs, and the question of whether this film belongs in the landfill.

After reacting to the news that control of the James Bond movies franchise we spend some time on the 1967 screwball comedy adaptation of Casino Royale, a film that sits outside the official franchise and is not received with universal acclaim.

Gary, Graham and Terry reflect on the film's troubled production which featured an all star cast but has 5 (five) directors.
