A #Bond_age_ fan poll chose the OUR MAN FLINT Live Tweet for our third IMPOSTOR EDITION of #Bond_age_. As my personal favorite Bond spinoff/spoof of the 1960’s I was excited… and as it turned out, I wasn’t the only one. Our Man Flint became the first IMPOSTOR warm and fuzzy twatter-thon after, uh, lukewarm receptions for both Never Say Never Again and Casino Royale (1967).
