Failure to Franchise

Episode Fifty-Three - Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985)


Listen Later

Positioned as a "red, white, and blue-collar" alternative to the James Bond franchise, based on an extremely popular series of paperback novels, and starring an up-and-coming leading man...the producers of REMO WILLIAMS has every reason to believe the adventure would not just begin, but continue for many years. So what the heck went wrong? Why is a future Star Trek captain so wasted here? Did Wilford Brimley charge producers more if they asked him to stand up? And is it even possible to discuss the film at all without examining its very questionable casting choice in one of the key roles? We explore these questions and more, in the latest edition of our "Fall Back to the 80s" miniseries!
