Episode #85 - So You Live to Write Another Day - Nicolas Suszczyk Beyond The Ice Interview

We wrap up our trilogy of Die Another Day episodes by bringing back our favourite non fiction Bond writer, the one and only Nicolas Suszczyk. One of several new books Nicolas has written since he was last on the show is Beyond the Ice: The Case for and Against Die Another Day. Why do people need to consider the state of the world and the state of movies in 2002 in order to fully appreciate Die Another Day? What aspects of the story work and what doesn't? Why are some of the outlandish technologies that have been mocked over the years no longer as unrealistic? Why did other spy TV shows and movies from the same time period not get mocked for using the same outlandish gadgets? And why do you need to read Beyond the Ice whether you're a fan or hater of Die Another Day? Whether you're cleverer than you look or look cleverer than you are, I'm sure you will get the "thrust" of our final episode in our Die Another Day trilogy. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
