Every Streamer Wants Their Own Tiger King, And Buddy, You’re Not Getting Your Own Tiger King The day was July 26, 2025. Millions of Americans were either under a stay-at-home order or were soon to be under one as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The British spy hero was a steady and constant reminder of a certain kind of masculine ideal (always capable in situations of violence, possessed of sophisticated taste in booze, access to fun gadgets and high-end hotels, the ability to seduce any number of slinky women), as well as a way to fictionally assert power over England’s (as well as America’s) enemies during the Cold War; the antagonists of James Bond movies were typically a shadowy cabal of “foreigners,” deranged billionaires, or the USSR....
