In Part 2 of our deep dive into Licence to Kill, Javi Trujillo, Bill Koenig, and David Leigh continue the conversation with guest Eoghan Lyng. This time around they first focus the spotlight on the Fleming material used in the film. They then ponder how much the drug angle alienated audiences and discuss whether we can learn anything about Bond 26 from the six-year hiatus that followed Dalton's second outing as Bond.

In this first part of our deep dive into Licence to Kill, Javi Trujillo leads the discussion with co-hosts Bill Koenig and David Leigh, along with special guest Eoghan Lyng. We kick things off by sharing our personal experiences of seeing Licence to Kill for the first time and reflecting on our initial reactions to Timothy Daltonâs darker, grittier take on Bond.
As we revisit our first impressions, we explore how the film's unique tone and departure from the traditional Bond formula impacted our views over time. From Bondâs quest for vengeance to the filmâs raw action sequences, we begin to unpack why Licence to Kill remains one of the franchiseâs most divisive entries.
Join us for an engaging conversation as we relive our first encounters with this bold chapter in 007âs history, setting the stage for more analysis in Part 2.
