Episode 66: The Hunt for Red October

I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck… maybe even a “recreational vehicle.” And drive from state to state. Do they let you do that? We are joined by regular Game Night contributor Jeffrey Sax to discuss the movie The Hunt for Red October. What happens when you know so much about submarines that you unknowingly figure out information about them that is classified? That’s the exact scenario that Tom Clancy found himself in when he released the original novel that this movie is based on. We speculate what would happen if he hypothetically accidentally leaked classified information as a result of writing this story. Plus, an actor in this movie has had quite the career including being elected as a real life senator and then later starring in Law and Order and does Ramius have a reason for defecting from the Soviet Union, and is it a sound one?
