Fleming Second Edition: "Thunderball" with guest Mathieu Nadeau

The James Bond Complex

Hello dear listeners!

We have a confession to make. After unleashing last week’s episode on you, we felt bad about ourselves. After all, it’s the month of March and we’re so close to spring. Some of you may even be living it already, and here we were, spending an hour discussing James Bond movie scenes that occur in wintry settings.

We do our best to make it up this week with the return of Fleming Second Edition. It’s that time again, and we’re discussing THUNDERBALL! There's no snow or ice to be seen in Nassau! As we are want to do with this special book series, we invite guests and have them to share some of their own thoughts and feelings on the men who were Ian Fleming and the literary 007. This time it’s a local Montrealer and friend of the show, Mathieu Nadeau, aka Matt #2! He's a familiar voice for those who listen to the annual Christmas Specials.

Together he, Emery, and Edgar take a deep dive under the Disco Volante to reveal the treasure trove that is Fleming’s eighth novel - ninth book with "For Your Eyes Only". Together they engage in: appreciation fluctuations, uncalled-for OHMSS hatred, making mud pies, a cardboard hero controversy, bro science, the Fleming diet, the boys (Bond and Felix) being back, aqua poetry, and much more!

So sit back, relax and let the James Bond Complex take you away to a beach in the Bahamas. No barracudas were harmed in the making of this episode.
