Episode 35: Sir Christopher Lee

[RSS]

Hey, an Actor!'s Year of Grey concludes with their longest episode to date, dedicated to the late, great Sir Christopher Lee. Such is his filmography that The Brothers Wilson open the show with a look at the seminal British folk horror epic The Wicker Man before looking at his very first portrayal of literature's greatest vampire in the Hammer horror classic Dracula. And what will Pandy think of closing the year with Jinnah, a biopic in which Lee portrays the founder of Pakistan? The hosts also touch upon their subject's remarkable lifetime, whilst bad impressions are abound, ranging from such celebrities as Michael Yorke and Ian Wilson. In addition to a Pandy Parody, The Brothers Wilson also play detective to uncover which famous world leader has received a c-bomb from train driver Dave Probert! [ 3:27:53 || 100.2 MB ]

Fine episode chaps. Highly recommended if anyone wants to hear Ian and Pandy discuss the acceptable use of blackface.

I watched the original (shorter) cut of The Wicker Man just before listening to this, and was intrigued to hear about the scenes I didn't see.  Does Lee show up earlier than his meeting with Howie in the longer cut?

Yep - when he sends a teenage boy up to Britt Ekland's room to lose his virginity, then comments on snail sex.
