Dr. Strangelove
from Goon Pod · host Goon Pod
In the fifth episode of Goon Pod it's the welcome return of Adam from RetroTube podcast - despite concerns that he’ll see the big board! We have a right old chinwag about what is arguably Peter Sellers’ second greatest cinematic performance(s) – in the 1964 Stanley Kubrick Cold War satire Dr Strangelove. Among many other things we talk about the fact that Spike Milligan was possibly partially responsible for Quentin Tarantino’s career and how one of the most memorable lines of dialogue in the film could have been inspired by Eccles. We also discuss Kubrick’s oeuvre, Sellers’ six best films (as voted for by the good burghers of Twitter), 'precious bodily fluids', George C Scott tripping over and even Slim Pickens’ winning turn in The Black Hole. So join us as we celebrate Peter Sellers lighting up the screen as Group Captain Lionel Mandrake, President Merkin Muffley & the titular (and rather Goonish) Dr Strangelove!
