Our Fleming series refurb continues with this review of 1954's "Live and Let Die", originally produced back in February of 2026. Our discussion goes deep the into inspirations and publication history behind Fleming's second novel before taking on the text itself. In order to separate hazard from hokum within Mr Big's criminal enterprise, James Bond must handle the streets of Harlem, travel south on the Silver Phantom with a voodoo mystic and neutralise a handful of colourful henchmen. From hotel bombs to subterranean lairs, biting sharks to keel-haul executions, "Live and Let Die" feels like adventure-Bond's coming out party!Context@5:30; Summary@31:20; Review@45:00; Scoring@1:37:30
