Kiss Kiss Bang Bang: A James Bond Music Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In the first episode of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Tom and Morgan discuss the history of the song that helped kick of Roger Moore's first James Bond film.

Paul McCartney and Wings teamed up with Beatles producer George Martin for this iconic title theme song, even though he wasn't necessarily one film producer's first choice.

We look back at the story of the song, its success and legacy, and how it sits within the film itself.

Stay tuned to this frequency...

Welcome to a brand new podcast from the guys behind Two Geeks Two Beers.

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang is a podcast where we’ll be discussing and dissecting some of our favourite theme songs from across six decades of James Bond movies.

From the brassy brilliance of Thunderball to the rock reinvention of Casino Royale’s You Know My Name, we’ll be unpacking each song’s origins and analyzing its chart performance, from the disappointing lows to the all time highs…

Plus, we’ll explore each song’s place in the history of the franchise, how it reflects the themes and mood of the film it was made for, and the era it was made in.

We discuss the first theme song in Daniel Craig's era as James Bond: Chris Cornell's 'You Know My Name' from Casino Royale.

The rock anthem by the Soundgarden frontman was perhaps a surprising choice for the franchise at the time, but how did it work as part of the film's mood and where does it rank in our list of favourite Bond themes?

Morgan and Tom look back at the theme song of Timothy Dalton's second and final outing as James Bond: Licence to Kill by Gladys Knight.

We discuss how the song fits into arguably the best Bond film of the 80s, and the story behind the track which was written by the people behind the biggest Christmas song of the last 35 years.

Morgan and Tom dissect Tom Jones's barnstorming 60s Bond theme 'Thunderball', and its movie of the same name starring Sean Connery.

From the original plans featuring a different song title, to Tom Jones almost passing out while recording the final line, to Johnny Cash's excellent attempt, there's a lot to unpack.

Technically, not the main theme of the film, but Morgan and Tom discuss the beautiful Louis Armstrong ballad from the iconic George Lazenby James Bond movie.

We look at how Louis got involved in the project, how it was brought back many years later and the song's ongoing legacy.

Tom and Morgan take us back to Pierce Brosnan's third outing as James Bond from 1999.

The film's title theme was performed by indie-rock band Garbage, with Shirley Manson revealing just how much of a fan she was of the series.

We find out who else was apparently in the running, the different version of the song and much more.
