S18E1: Goldfinger | Sean Connery

Bringing us back for our Season 18 kickoff, Alicia has the story of screen legend – and original Bond Boy – Sean Connery! While he had just one divorce, he was kind enough to gift us decades of questionable commentary about the appropriate treatment of women, as well as engage in some potential tax shenanigans in Spain. When it comes to Season 18 premieres, “There can be only one!” (That’s a Highlander joke, if you haven’t seen the 1986 classic recently.)
