The Hunt For Red October Starring Sean Connery

Hello, dear listeners!

It's no secret that Sean Connery will long live in movie history as the original cinematic James Bond, the version that many consider to be the best for that matter.

However much fans adore the actors for having played the iconic part, the fact of the matter is they all, well, most of them have had impressive film and television careers outside of the world of 007.

Given that, hosts Mathieu and Edgar return this week for a little bit more Connery lovin', one more taste of the great Scotsman's impressive persona, only this time in a non-Bond movie.

Now, Connery's cinematic career outside of Bond is pretty legendary, so it was hard to choose from his oeuvre, but when the dust settled, "The Hunt for Red October" seemed like the perfect fit.

Having played a character that represented the West so sexifully (and actually fought the East in the original novels), how ironic is it that he plays a Soviet submarine commander, albeit one with dreams of fleeing to the West?

Yes, once more the Russians will play the game with the Americans, this time in a quality film directed by forgotten but supremely talented director John McTiernan, starring a beautifully bearded Sean Connery, a delightful Sam Neil, and an Alec Baldwin who's giving one of his best performances.
