James Bond Reflections, “Mean Tweets” & Looking Ahead to Mission:Impossible

201. Over 200 episodes of TTM! Thank you thank you dear listeners… 

Jon and Bobby celebrate by reading a selection of viewer comments and feedback from the lovely to the downright weird.

We reflect back on the Bondathon by sharing earliest memories of James Bond, discuss the evolution of the franchise and potential for future films or spin-offs. We also do some “who is the next James Bond” speculation and the importance of retaining the essence of Bond while adapting to contemporary issues.

Finally, we look ahead to the upcoming Mission:Impossible-athon (yep we need to come up with a better term), any memories of the original show and why we picked this film series to review next after Bond.

Enjoy!
