We’ve pulled IMPOSTORS! from the 60’s, 70’s and 00’s. I needed to check off the 1980’s so I went about scouring my thought bubbles for a movie that would satisfy the demands of a #Bond_age_ live tweet. Spoofs were too difficult to tweet. Fun, but they turned into a quote festival. So Top Secret probably didn’t make much sense. Spies Like Us had some potential. After those two what other secret agent movies had any legitimate assortment of thrills and laughs? The decade was littered with anti-Bonds and dour seriousness. Gotcha! starring a pre-Top Gun Anthony Edwards? How about Chuck Norris in Invasion U.S.A.? Hopscotch has been mentioned before, and I almost pulled the trigger as it portrays a retired agent in his later years. …but then I thought of Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins. Perfect. Fred Ward. Joel Gray playing an Asian. Wilford Brimley. Tightrope walking dobermans. It had to be done… but if you tweet it, will they come?

The second episode of the evening was “The Project Strigas Affair.” Taking a page out of the Impossible Missions Force playbook, the plot this time had Solo and Illya seeking to completely destroy an Eastern European politician’s political future without killing him. The guest cast included Werner Klemperer as the politician. What truly makes this episode stand out, though, is that it’s the first onscreen pairing of Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner.

Greetings, #Bond_age_TV readers! Welcome to the first Man From UNCLE livetweet digest. It should have been the second, but unfortunately, due to an oversight on my part, the first livetweet session for UNCLE appears to be undigestable. So we begin the digests with the 2nd doubleshot of UNCLE eps. First up, Napoleon Solo finds himself imprisoned by THRUSH, and UNCLE invaded by a lookalike: it’s “The Double Affair.”

Last Wednesday the #Bond_age_ crew tackled two of the Falcon mysteries from the 1940s as part of the Proto-#Bond_age_ series hosted by @MiddParent and @NitrateDiva. Starring Tom Conway as the Falcon, the series highlighted the dashing exploits of the Falcon and his mustache. Our first order of business: the Falcon in Danger Live Tweet.

This past Wednesday marked the debut of #Bond_age_TV. To celebrate, some brave men and women came together to watch the screen debut of James Bond or, in this case, Jimmy Bond of the CIA. His debut came in the October 21st, 1954 episode of CBS TV’s Climax! He’s a man who leads a life of danger (sorry, wrong TV spy). Anyway, how did Jimmy fare in his battle with the evil Le Chiffre (Peter Lorre)? How did the tweeters fare in their battle with a live television show broadcast 60 years ago? Read on!

And then there was one. more. live. tweet. left. This was the finale to our second run through the 23 James Bond films… with some riff raff scattered in between. The #Skyfall Live Tweet Digest marks the end of the WRAPAROUND but not the end of #Bond_age_. But last night sure felt like a big ol’ #Bond_age_ party. Good twatter was to be had by all.
