In 1995, GoldenEye relaunched a franchise many had written off, handed the Walther PPK to Pierce Brosnan, and gave us one of the most iconic Bond themes of the lot. But the road to that theme was anything but smooth.

This week, Morgan and Tom unpack how GoldenEye came together: Éric Serra's famously divisive score, John Barry turning the film down, and the strange chain of events that led to Bono and The Edge writing a song for Tina Turner — who reportedly thought the demo was so bad she nearly refused to sing it. Plus the Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me theory, the legendary GoldenEye 007 on the N64, and where the song lands in the Bond canon.
