Remembering Sean Connery & Re-Visiting 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'
Nov 25, 2020•56 min
Episode description
A true legend has left us.
Jake + Mitch discuss the near mythological career of the late Sir Sean Connery. Whether it be the definitive 007, a late career action star, a nuanced leading man, an Oscar winner, or a pop-culture icon -- the man accomplished what few ever could ... he accomplished it all.
Along the way they also re-visit a not-so-bright-spot on Mr. Connery's career as they break down, 'The League of Extra Ordinary Gentlemen'. More specifically they ask:
- Why didn't Justice League for English majors work?
- Did Connery save it?
- Whatever happened to Stephen Norrington?
Every icon has a flop or two, but LXG ultimately ends-up as evidence to the power of Connery's star power. The man was simply unmatched.
