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.
