June 4th: Match C in the Tournament of Bonds begins with the live tweet favorite, Live and Let Die. There’s never a dull twatter moment between the dated blaxploitation themes, pimpmobiles and J.W. Gone Wild speedboat action.
INITIATE THE LIVE AND LET DIE LIVE TWEET DIGEST (Tournament Edition)!
Time to hop in the PIMPMOBILE and tool around NYC with our good buddy James Bond. INITIATE MISSION #LALD
