Show Notes

Tomorrow Never Dies had to be turned around very quickly thanks to difficulties with MGM - and it meant the script wouldn't be complete until two weeks before filming finished!
The script was in place for 21 Jump Street, but then there was the question as to whether Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum would make a good double act.
Stories of both are told in this episode.
