Ep. 53: Bond Girl Summer w/ Iona & Caroline Munro

In this week’s episode, we three devise a plot to revive one of the most iconic female archetypes in Western culture: the Bond Girl! We discuss the merits of a tropical, action-packed lifestyle, debate the gendered impact of the James Bond franchise, and unpack the taxonomy of the bikini marketplace, all while conferring with actual Bond Girl Caroline Munro (The Spy Who Loved Me) and her lovely daughter Iona Munro.
