@hannahyanfield I certainly hope so!

Back to I, Claudius… and hey @hannahyanfield, baby Caligula just appeared! https://t.co/aIXQwzIqLY

Whoa. Real bummer of a way to end a dinner party – a tale of prostitution, bestiality, filth, obscenity, capped off with a stabbing. 😳 https://t.co/Y50AMaX3lF
Yay, it’s John Hurt! So creepy. Gifting porn to his uncle. 🤮 https://t.co/GQsFBXRpp0
Wow. Patrick Stewart is nailing Claudius’s sister, and got her to roofie her husband. Next step MURDER. (Ew, he’s super hairy!) https://t.co/a2o40o2272
I’ve been doing a rewatch of True Blood, and earlier today the Snook rolled his eyes at how silly and campy it was. I have now just pointed out the irony while watching “I, Claudius.” IT’S THE SAME. (He concedes the point.)
John Hurt is AMAZING and SO CREEPY. (That’s his great-grandma btw.) https://t.co/MQ49bfcFq2

@hannahyanfield @gilmae But did you SEE Roger Moore skiing down a hill to California Girls while being shot at by machine guns??
@hannahyanfield @gilmae And Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (both of which are from books by Ian Fleming!). #uselesstrivia
@gilmae @hannahyanfield Hand on heart, I woke up with Duran Duran’s “A View to a Kill” in my head and just made Spotify play it. Legit banger.

@gabehollombe Season 1 of VM is one of the best standalone seasons of TV ever. Quality thereafter gets a bit more variable, but I still love it.
@gabehollombe If you watch it, you’ll have to message me after each ep and tell me your predictions for the various mysteries. 🙂
@minxdragon @BugHunterSam Sam probably can’t pull it off, but I’m sure you and I could add “All y’all” to that list. 😜

@darthted I’m as disappointed in myself as you are.
@darthted OH MY GOD we are now listening to the I Podius podcast and @hodgman just mentioned the Boss Nass thing. HOW DID I MISS THIS
@hannahyanfield It’s the series “I, Claudius”. It’s very long so we’re watching in bits. (Caligula does turn up later!)
@crankymate @darthted @hannahyanfield Ha. On the I, Podius podcast they talk about how there are an entire generation of us with that experience. 😂
