Reflections on the early drafts of GoldenEye

In this season of The James Bond Cocktail Hour podcast, we are covering the six year gap between Licence to Kill and GoldenEye, covering everything James Bond-related, from books to comics to video games, to non-Bond properties which tried to fill the gap.

On the latest episode, we are joined by special guest Bill Koenig (of the Spy Command) to discuss the creative struggles over the direction of Bond 17.
