Licence to Legacy: Thunderball at 60 - part 2
Manage episode 506064286 series 3613179
S03E003: In the second half of our Thunderball discussion, Bill Koenig, Javi Trujillo and David Leigh turn to the film’s legacy and cultural impact. We look at how Thunderball shaped popular culture — from underwater spectacle to the parody of Austin Powers.
Along the way we consider whether the film influenced our own styles, explore the ground-breaking underwater photography and the challenges of shooting beneath the waves, and share some favourite collectibles. We also reflect on Thunderball’s music, its modern reception, and what lessons it may hold for Bond 26.Where to find us
