GUN BARREL 001 // Casino Royale and Post-9/11 Realism with Clinton Hallahan
Show Notes

Gun Barrel: a miniseries on modern James Bond begins here.

Clinton Hallahan from the Alberta Advantage podcast joins me to discuss Martin Campbell’s Casino Royale. How has James Bond transformed after 9/11? The threats he fights range from terrorism to financial malfeasance to getting too horny to finish the mission. We discuss what works about the film, how it reflects post-9/11 cinema, and its legacy.

Part Two of this series will cover GoldenEye on the Patron feed. Part Three will revisit Daniel Craig’s next outing: Quantum of Solace. That will be available next week on this free feed.
