Thunderbook: The World of Bond According to Smersh Pod

Description

The Bond films have entertained annoyed, excited, bored, aroused and invigorated cinema goers for more than fifty years. Who hasn't wanted to kick a big bloke with metal teeth in the groin? Fly a small plane out of a pretend horse's bottom? Or push a middle-aged man into space? No one, that's who. Thunderbook: The World of Bond According to Smersh Pod affectionately examines Bond with tongue firmly in cheek and elbow dug in ribs. Join John Rain as he goes film-by-film through the Bond saga as he points out all the good, the bad, and the double-taking pigeons contained within Bond's half-century of world domination. With one chapter for each of the twenty-four films to date, Thunderbook examines all the moments that are funny, silly, rubbish, nonsensical, bizarre and interesting, with the ultimate intention of celebrating Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and becoming the go-to companion book for the Bond fan at large.

John Rain is a Bond fanatic, and the host of the cult podcast Smersh Pod. He lives in Sussex in an abandoned volcano

'An affectionately droll Bond-by-Bond stroll through the films we know and love, whether we like them or not' -- Al Murray 'Beautifully observed and a laugh-out-loud joy' -- Kathy Burke 'A book full of Bond love and occasional bewilderment' -- Samira Ahmed 'Nobody does it better. John Rain delivers his love letter to Bond with a raised eyebrow that would do Roger Moore proud' -- Joel Morris
