You Only Live Twice.

As the James Bond franchise moved into it’s fifth film there was a lot of upheaval as to which story to make next as well as the bombshell that this would be Sean Connery’s last film as the iconic character. How would this effect the final product?

In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is once again joined by agent John Champion to talk about You Only Live Twice. We discuss the behind the scenes before shooting, the space race, the fantastic Mr. Writer, filming, Blofeld, the women, Japan, cultural appropriation and our ratings.
