This week, you on the free feed are getting a little treat here. We've been wanting to talk about Bong Joon Ho's Parasite for some time now, but we've never felt like we could do it alone. We've always been hunting for that perfect guest to survive the KJB Gauntlet where we invite learned academics on and then absolutely refuse to let them get a word in edgewise for anywhere up to two hours.

This week, we are delighted to say that the gauntlet is being run by Olfactory Ethicist Dr Ally Louks!

If you've not long since abandoned X dot com the everything app, you'll be familiar with Dr Louks and her particular area of expertise on scent as a class marker in literature, and indeed, more widely, in everything else too. Parasite itself is a movie about a rich family and a poor family. Class relations are a difficult thing to untangle, and this resulted in some viewers having trouble figuring out who exactly the titular 'parasite' is. We... have some theories.

Hey, Devon here. As you well know I've been working with a few gazan families to raise money for their daily living costs in the genocide. As a ceasefire has been announced, we hope soon plenty of Aid can get in and help alleviate the dire famine they're being subjected to. But until then, they still have to afford to eat, so we ask for you to keep helping them out, just a little longer.

John Carpenter's Escape from New York is a classic. But John Carpenter's Escape from L.A. is almost the exact same story remade with all the sliders turned to 11.

Snake Plissken is deployed into a post-Big One L.A., an area designated by the new christofascist US Government as the dumping ground for all criminals, to retrieve a superweapon stolen by the President's daughter- who was radicalised psychically by an L.A. Revolutionary leader. Joining us to tackle this is L.A. resident and actor, Morgana Ignis! Star of Helluva Boss, Class Acts, and of course Dracula's Ex-Girlfriend!

Welcome to Kill James Bond 2025, and welcome back to the Ocean's series! Boy, we're only one sequel in and it's already getting VERY thin on the ground here.

The Gang from 'Ocean's 11' continue to do heist nonsense in Europe.

Hey, Devon here. For the past few months I've been talking to a family trapped in Gaza, working to cover their daily living costs amidst repeated displacements in the Genocide. Their names are Ahmed and Layla, and their 4 kids are Jana, Malik, Lana and Amir. Anything you can contribute would mean the world to me. They deserve to live. Attached is their gofundme, as well as three others that I can vouch for the authenticity of.

Happy New Year from Kill James Bond! We offered you, on our twitter and bluesky accounts, the chance to vote on a movie for us to cover for this episode. You chose to make us watch the second star wars movie, and let it never be said that the Kill James Bond podcast shies away from adversity. So tonight, on the Free Feed, it's Attack of the Clones! The aged Galactic Republic is on the brink of war. Separatists, led by the ex-jedi Count Dooku, are poised to break away from the old structures of galactic democracy. And to make matters worse, they even have a robot army. Can the Jedi order quell these feelings? Just how many new zealanders does the republic need to keep itself safe? And can Anakin Skywalker get his dick wet? All this and more

This week on the Kill James Bond podcast we're honouring our ironclad commitment to international cinema by checking out this film from a small indie country they're calling 'Norway'. Apparently they could afford Stellan Skarsgard, so really good for them. Helping us to unpack this tale of revenge and isolation is Berlin-based artist and writer Ari Nielsson!

Ari's writing can be found at https://www.instagram.com/theoenus/, and copies of his essay collection, Urin, can be found at https://urinbook.bigcartel.com/
