Ep. 63 Bond In The 80s: Part II

In Part Two of our look at “James Bond in the 80's" the focus
shifts to the unjustly-maligned Timothy Dalton films that wrapped
up the decade. We welcome back John Arminio to discuss the
real-life inspirations for The Living Daylights, why a more
humorless tone was rejected by audiences with the Dalton films but
celebrated in the Daniel Craig era, why it was for the best that
Sam Neil wasn’t cast as 007 (despite his aces work in Reilly, Ace
of Spies) and how the ultimate Cold War military icon faced the end
of the Cold War. The Pink Smoke site: www.thepinksmoke.com Support
