James Bond Series Episode 8

Never Say Never Again isn’t the only time Connery played Bond after leaving the role. After George Lazenby’s one outing, United Artists decided to take Bond back to its original formula, bringing back the director, the writer, and the star of Goldfinger for one last Bond adventure. It’s Connery’s last official appearance as 007, facing off one last time against SMERSH and Blofeld. Which is better, Diamonds or Gold? Listen to Stuart, Brock, and Arnie to find out!
