Kill James Bond! is a biweekly podcast (with bonus episodes in the off weeks) dedicated to analysing the Franchise/JamesBond franchise through a leftist, feminist, anti-imperialist lens, hosted by Abigail Thorn of WebVideo/PhilosophyTube, Alice Caldwell-Kelly of Podcast/TrashFuture and Podcast/WellTheresYourProblem, and Devon.
Each mainline episode examines an installment of the franchise - beginning with 1962's ''Film/DrNo'' - and applies the nominally-scientific "SCUM System" to it - rating its levels of Smarm, Cultural Insensitivity, Unprovoked Violence and Misogyny out of 007. Bonus episodes, meanwhile, look at Bond-adjacent works - tie-in video games (like VideoGame/GoldenEye1997), or films starring Bond actors (like Sean Connery's role in ''Literature/TheNameOfTheRose''), or spy films that reference Bond (like ''WesternAnimation/Cars2'').
