Episode 72: My Best Friend Turned Into a Cactus

from Xanadu Cinema Pleasure Dome · host Windy Bowlsby and Melissa Kaercher

This week, dear listeners, we are joined again by author Pat Harrigan for an episode all about Quatermass! We get into the nitty gritty of Nigel Kneale’s groundbreaking series of stories: the BBC miniseries, the Hammer Films remakes, the radio show… and even stuff like The Stone Tape and The Year of the Sex Olympics. If you would like to drink along (and oh, we did drink), we recommend Black Ink wine, because it has a cephalopod on it. It certainly was appropriate to our subject matter. Show notes behind the cut! Quatermass movies discussed: The Quatermass Experiment (1952) Quatermass II (1955) The Quatermass Xperiment (1955) X the Unknown (1956) Quatermass 2 (1957) Quatermass and the Pit (1958) Quatermass and the Pit (1967) Quatermass / The Quatermass Conclusion (1979) The Quatermass Memoirs (1996) (radio) The Quatermass Experiment (2005) Other movies mentioned: The Stone Tape The Year of the Sex Olympics Prince of Darkness 1984 Doctor Who (TV) People mentioned: Nigel Kneale Jason Flemyng David Tennant Mark Gatiss John Carpenter Brian Donlevy Reginald Tate Andrew Kier Indira Varma John Robinson Wilfrid Brambell Roger Delgado Michael Ripper Dean Jagger Leo McKern Barbara Shelley Andre Morrell Julian Glover Brian Cox Jane Asher John Mills Simon MacCorkindale Links: Get Off My World podcast getoffmyworldpodcast.com The post Episode 72: My Best Friend Turned Into a Cactus appeared first on Xanadu Cinema Pleasure Dome.
