    In this episode, Vivian Steele dissects Robert Duvall's 2002 passion project "Assassination Tango"—a genre-defying film where a hitman discovers the transformative power of Argentine tango while waiting to complete a job in Buenos Aires. Exploring the movie's authentic milonga footage, Duvall's real-life romance with co-star Luciana Pedraza, and the critical debate over whether this is brilliant personal filmmaking or self-indulgent vanity project, Vivian makes the case for why this commercially unsuccessful film deserves a second look from anyone interested in tango, obsession, and what happens when Hollywood tough guys learn to surrender control.
