You know the classic James Bond line “Martini, shaken, not stirred” is there an actual difference in the taste of the drink from shaking it vs stirring it?

You should never shake a martini. Breaks up the alcohol’s botanicals (flavors) too much, dilutes and aerates it. Especially with a fine gin! Mixed, juicy drinks can be shaken. Clear, more pure alcohol drinks (martinis, gimlets etc…) should be gently stirred.
