Hello and welcome to Pay Attention, 007, the podcast where hosts Tessa Swehla, Ryan Silberstein, and Elyse Debra watch all 25 of the Eon Productions James Bond films in chronological order beginning with 1962’s Doctor No and ending with 2021’s No Time to Die…unless another film comes out before they are finished!

In episode 02, the hosts discuss 1964’s From Russia with Love. Terence Young and Sean Connery both return for the second Bond film with more ambition and a much larger budget. Bond travels to Istanbul to meet with honey trap and possible defector Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi) to acquire a powerful decoding device. Is this an opportunity to gain an advantage in the ongoing Cold War? Or is this mission a trap for Bond set by the mysterious SPECTRE? The film also introduces pod favorite Desmond Llewelyn as Q and features Robert Shaw as Red Grant and Lotte Lenya as Rosa Klebb.
