Show Notes
Frank is joined by author Thom Shubilla ("James Bond and the Sixties Spy Craze") and Adult Swim producer-editor Ned Hastings ("Aqua Teen Hunger Force," "Archer") for a funny and fascinating look back at the spy (and "Eurospy") craze of the 1960s and the numerous 007 rivals and imitators of the era, including Matt Helm, Derek Flint, Harry Palmer and yes...Neil Connery. Also in this episode: Karl Malden switches accents, Miss Moneypenny gets a payday, Sharon Tate wows in "The Wrecking Crew" and the boys take a moment to celebrate the 60th anniversary of "Batman" and Bat-mania. PLUS: "The Last of the Secret Agents"! "The Man from O.R.G.Y."! The insanity of "Casino Royale"! James Coburn battles Agent 0008! And Jan Murray as..."Dick Tracy"??
