@unreservist @UnclearPod I mean, Clear and Present Danger...one of the greats. And absolutely about Iran-Contra, no matter what Tom Clancy once told John Poindexter. But that's another story. ;)

The Eiger Sanction

Trevanian
Shane HarrisShane Harris

Expanded my spy movie education with The Eiger Sanction. I can't speak for the novel, but the film feels like it burped out of a mid-70s cultural stew of paranoia, misogyny, and thrill-seeking. Recommended. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072926/

A fascinating conversation with @erichschwartzel this week about his new book, Red Carpet. It's the story of how Hollywood broke into the massive Chinese market, and the enormous influence Beijing now has over American movies. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chatter/id1593674288?i=1000550651510
