What is a Bondathon?
A Bondathon is a test of endurance for movie buffs, to watch all the official James Bond movies.
Official James Bond movies are those produced by EON Productions (so Never Say Never Again does not count). There is a new official Bond movie out in October which brings the total number to twenty-three.
The challenge was to watch all twenty-three movies over a three-day period, starting with Dr .No at midnight on Friday October 26 2012 and culminating with a cinema screening of Skyfall on the evening of Sunday October 28 2012.
You may think that two guys sitting on a sofa watching movies for three days straight isn’t much of a challenge. We agree. So, for each of the twenty-three movies, we will be writing a retrospective blog piece and recording a podcast which will be available online. If you consider that this equates to approximately forty-six hours of movie-watching alone, the scale of the challenge should be more apparent.
So why are we doing it?
Aside from the opportunity to see one of the world’s greatest movie franchises in its entirety, we are also raising money for Cancer Research Wales. Both of our fathers at the time were undergoing treatment for various types of cancer and we both wanted to help raise vital funds for research and treatment.
Many thanks
