Licence to Kill

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.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang: A James Bond Music Podcast

Looking back at James Bond's iconic theme songs.

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.
