James Bond Women:  Survive or die?  How often did Bond fail?

There are two types of James Bond women in the movies: those who died and those who survived. Is there a pattern here?  Does it matter if James Bond is romantically involved with them? How about if he is protecting them? We know Bond fails a fair amount trying to keep them alive.

In this episode, Dan and Tom examine each of the women that James Bond either was romantic with or protected in the movies.  We answer the question: did they survive or die? Plus, we answer the question, how many died and how many survived across the series? The answers may surprise you.

We break down each movie-based James Bond women by looking at the following:

  • Was James Bond her lover?
  • Or was he their protector?
  • Maybe he was both.
  • How many women died and survived for each actor playing James Bond?
  • Who are some of the women you may have missed or forgotten about?
  • And More …

Was the death count ratio different between the various actors who played James Bond?  And what does Meatloaf have to do with any of this?

This is an intriguing examination of this fascinating topic. Listen to find out more.
