S2E16.5: The Wind and The Lion
Manage episode 352889365 series 2882319
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)
