Chicago 007 Fans May 2024 Meetup
Dan and Tom held their first Chicago 007 Fans Meetup on May 9, 2024, at Ma O’Brien’s Irish Pub in Chicago.
Part of the event was a James Bond trivia quiz and people from all over the world played, including those in the pub. The questions ranged from fairly easy to “nobody got this one”. The winning score was 18 out of 25. Congratulations to William Kanas for the win.
This episode highlights the interviews they streamed of some of the 007 fans in attendance. In fact, one of the fans we talked with, stuntman Ross Scharphorn, placed second in the trivia quiz. He answered the same number of questions as William Kanas, but Kanas answered faster for the win.
In addition to Ross, we interviewed Scott Winterroth and Brandon about their favorite Bond movies, actors, and the direction they would like Eon Productions to take the franchise.
Finally, we talked with Leonard Johnson and Chris MacGregor from the Ian Fleming Foundation. They talked about the foundation, its charity focus, and how they obtain and refurbish James Bond movie vehicles.
We also held a drawing with James Bond tchotchkes awarded to the winners.
A big Thank You goes out to all who attended our Chicago 007 Fans May 2024 Meetup and those who agreed to be interviewed.
