"Mission: Impossible" Detour - The 60s TV show with guest Bill Koenig Part 1

The James Bond Complex

Hello dear listeners,

When we prepare our content, we like to think that our listeners should expect the unexpected. To expect…the impossible!

The debate, perhaps annoyingly so, that has been raging in recent years is which film franchise is serving the masses better: James Bond or Mission: Impossible? The podcast answers: why can’t we love both?

While Matt and Edgar will inevitably go through the adventures of Ethan Hunt soon enough, they figured to go back and start with the franchise’s original incarnation, the 1960s television show. Of course, if they’re talking about a spy show from the 60s, that can only mean one thing: guidance from special agent Bill Koenig from The Spy Command blog!

There’s so much to talk about, this is only Part 1 of the mission. Among the topics: the thrilling subject of actors contract negotiations, being locked out one’s own studio lot as a producer, the links that bond M:I and Star Trek, muscle acting, remaking episodes of the same series, the 80s tv show revival, kitty cat heists, and so much more.

So sit back, relax, mould your mask to perfection while listening to Part 1 of our Mission: Impossible 60s tv show Detour.
