In this episode Mark talks about one of his favourite films: the 1990 submarine spy-thriller film "The Hunt For Red October", based on the book of the same name by Tom Clancy, which was directed by John McTiernan and which starred Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin, Sam Neil, and James Earl Jones. Mark talks about the story of "The Hunt For Red October" and the motivations of the main protagonists of the film, as well as the "Cold War" between the US and the USSR that the film takes place within. The episode is dedicated to the late great Sean Connery who died on October 31, 2020, at the age of 90 - and Mark talks about why he considers Sean Connery's portrayal of the character of Captain Marko Ramius to be one of his most defining film roles and well as his favourite.
