Very happy to have Rob Hill from the Bad Movie Bible joining me today to discuss a forgotten piece of Bondsploitation, 1967's Deadlier Than The Male!

This 60s update of the Bulldog Drummond books (which themselves inspired the Bond films), turns the character into a suave, understated ladies' man (of mystery) which makes his surrounding world of buxom female assassins, maniacal super-villains, and robotic chess pieces from hell all the more ridiculous.

It sure as hell ain't a classy film, but Rob and I agree that it's a hell of a lot of fun!
