Published: Jan. 18, 2023, 11:46 p.m.

b"Gentlemen, Ladies, whatever else: It's time to finally return to Old Man Connery. This week, we're joined by Dr Arthur Asseraf, Lecturer in the history of France and the Francophone World at the University of Cambridge. Dr Asseraf is a historian of North Africa, France, and the Mediterranean, which makes him perfectly suited to explain to us the terrible movie 'The Wind and The Lion', a vaguely true story about the time a Moroccan Sharif kidnapped an American guy in 1904 (Except in this version the Sharif is Sean Connery doing absolutely zero accent work, and the American is a stacked 10/10 baddie instead)\\n------\\n\\n\\nTHE WINTER OF CONTENT\\nIf you do feel you have money to spare, please consider supporting your local food banks with money or time!donate to the Trussell Trust here:\\xa0https://www.trusselltrust.org/make-a-donation/or the Independent food aid network here:\\xa0https://www.foodaidnetwork.org.uk/donate\\nAdditionally, please consider joining a renter's union like ACORN, as rising mortgage rates will surely result in rising rent, here:\\xa0https://www.acorntheunion.org.uk/join\\n------\\nConsider supporting us on our reasonably-priced patreon!https://www.patreon.com/killjamesbond\\n\\n\\n\\n------\\n*WEB DESIGN ALERT*\\xa0\\n\\n\\nTom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).
