After a long interregnum, Anthony Malone returns to the podcast, joining Jeremy for a discussion of 2001 comic spy drama The Tailor of Panama, based on the novel by John Le Carré, directed by John Boorman and starring Pierce Brosnan, Geoffrey Rush and Jamie Lee Curtis. Their discursive discussion covers such a range of topics as Raise the Titanic, authorial distance, pandemic delays, the persistance of a lack of memory and Alan B'Stard.
091 - DETOUR
Jeremy is joined again by author and podcaster Paul Morris to discuss the 1945 suspense drama Detour. Their discussion of this semi-forgotten B-picture covers such topics as double features, celebrity fans, low budget economics, unreliable narrators, murderous actors and Marion Crane's absent father.
In error, Jeremy refers to the “quota quickies” and the Eady Levy as being interchangable. Although they were both part of an effort to safeguard the British film industry, they were separate efforts.
