In 2001, with his tenure as James Bond dwindling, Pierce Brosnan signed on for an adaptation of The Tailor of Panama, directed by the New Hollywood veteran John Boorman. The novel was John Le Carré’s first major hit since the end of the Cold War and contained an eerily prophetic warning of American aggression and falsified intelligence. But how well did Brosnan and Boorman translate this tropical spy tale?
Caleb and Frank are joined by D.C. insider Leo Martin (The Foreign Service Journal) to discuss Zardoz, tailoring, and Geoffrey Rush’s dad-bod. Plus, Frank introduces a new game show.
