Lee Good evening and welcome to Horror. I'm Lee.
Chris I'm Chris.
Adam Hi, I'm Adam.
Unknown Hi, I'm Jennifer.
Lee Yay!
Chris Jennifer's back.
Unknown Yay!
Unknown And older.
Lee Yes.
Adam Are you wiser?
Unknown Wiser? I'll always wiser. Yes, than everyone.
Lee Wiser than me, certainly.
Chris When when is your peak?
Lee Well, yeah.
Unknown When's my peak?
Chris Yeah.
Adam I've got cats, not dogs.
Unknown yeah. I'll never peak.
Lee Yeah, let's leave that there.
Lee I was just going to say what I would say wiser than wiser than she was, but of course she still picked this film, so we'll
Chris Oh, that that could that could be a subtle hint at what's to come. Yeah, that's it.
Unknown This is, you know, ideas.
Chris Rebuttal.
Adam Lines are being drawn.
Lee So, yeah, so our main event this evening for Jennifer's birthday choice is Interview with the Vampire.
Lee AKA, how to be a prick to someone for generations.
Unknown Sounds like my life.
Unknown Watch that film, I'm like this is brilliant. Anyway, before that.
Lee So before that, in our run up, we shall do our, what we have been watching.
Lee Chris, what have you been watching?
Chris Right. No.
Chris It's possible, it's possible if none of you have seen this that you'll think you're wasting your time.
Chris That is nothing to do with welcome to horror, what that is pointless, right?
Chris But I'm going to read out something and I'll see your responses.
Chris So I've been watching,
Chris wait for it.
Chris I've been watching Ball Fondlers on Interdimensional Cable.
Adam Right.
Chris we've got we've got one person on board here.
Lee No idea.
Chris Okay, it is Rick and Morty.
Adam Jura is Morty.
Adam You've been watching Interdimensional Cable and Rick and Morty then.
Chris I have, I have.
Chris So I I right enough people have told me to watch Rick and Morty, right?
Chris And years ago I watched the first episode and I was like,
Chris it's it's good, it's just a little bit too maybe juvenile.
Chris I felt and then that was perhaps a bit snobby, I'm accepting maybe a bit snobby, right?
Chris But I just couldn't quite get on board with it.
Chris Anyway, enough people over the years have said, Rick and Morty, just watch Rick and Morty, like what's wrong with you?
Chris Yeah, and then you had something called a Pickle Rick, which I think must be from Rick and Morty.
Chris Now that I've reached the episode Pickle Rick, and I'm like, oh, that must be where it came from.
Chris Anyway, right, so, so then someone fairly recently said, Rick and Morty, and this was after we'd been discussing all sorts of philosophy, science, you know, time travel,
Chris transferring your consciousness, all that sort of stuff, yeah. I was like, all right, shit, I'm just going to watch it again.
Chris And of course I got to episode three and I was like, that's it, I'm stuck. I'm just watching the rest of these.
Chris Nothing else, nothing else is coming on. That's it.
Unknown A few episodes.
Chris Yeah.
Chris So I'm now in season four, every spare moment of TV watching availability has been spent watching it, right?
Chris And so, yeah, there you go. That's that's my welcome to horror what I've been watching.
Chris I think there's enough horror in it that you can just about squeeze it in, but I also don't feel that I need to.
Chris It's good enough.
Unknown I think turning into a pickle and then attacking rats that's very horrific.
Lee Right.
Lee It's a fantastic show and yeah, you're right, it really does delve into some really dark places.
Chris Yeah.
Lee But in a hilarious way, so.
Chris It's yeah, unbelievable writing.
Chris How they managed to combine so much crazy stuff.
Adam It's got.
Chris Which is very watchable.
Adam It's almost got that thing that Red Dwarf used to like had in the sort of early days where you're like, loads of people are watching this and they're really enjoying it.
Adam But they're also being exposed to pretty fucking big sci-fi concepts.
Chris Like
Adam Like multidimensional stuff and things like that, you know, and as it goes on and you get.
Adam That sort of element to it where there's however many different realities and replacing yourself in another one and.
Chris Yeah.
Adam That's not actually the original person who was that original person and yeah.
Chris And and I found out it's not ended.
Chris I thought we had finished years ago, but it turns out they're still making episodes.
Unknown Yeah.
Lee It's Netflix now, so I think they're doing them sort of sporadily, but yeah, they.
Lee Still fantastic, so.
Adam There's some there's some new ones there's some new ones out.
Adam I have seen the start of one because it some they put it up on Instagram and at the start of one he meets it's Rick and.
Adam Jerry meeting the Cenobites.
Chris Oh.
Adam
Chris Oh there you go.
Adam But but and the whole thing is is that basically.
Adam As it turns out it's because they have to keep spending a night with Jerry because pain and torment is pleasure to them.
Chris Oh.
Adam So they they go and they have a barbecue with Jerry.
Chris You don't get much more pain.
Adam And that's like they're getting their rocks off because it's that that pain form.
Chris I can I can see the pain in Lee's face just from the mentioning of such such a situation.
Adam Yes.
Lee Excellent, well done.
Lee so, Adam, what have you been watching?
Adam Right, I've got a ton, but I will get through it quick.
Adam I watched Bone Tomahawk, which I hadn't seen before.
Lee I still not seen it.
Adam
Adam Right, I'm going to say okay.
Adam And definitely Kurt Russell is one of the best things about it, obviously, because it's Kurt Russell.
Adam There's some great stuff in there, Sid Haig's in it right at the start, which I didn't even realize.
Adam but I mean, I'm now probably indicated a spoiler there by saying, he's in it right at the start.
Adam You can imagine, yeah.
Adam So,
Adam But yeah, sort of the best way I can describe it is dark place.
Adam In as much as I think I'd have enjoyed it more if it wasn't so unironically macho.
Lee Okay.
Adam It's quite a sort of like we're a stoic men going to do stoic things.
Adam And, you know, people who are like sort of and just lots of no nonsense men in the wilderness arguing.
Adam
Adam But yeah, not bad, but sort of oddly.
Adam Best way I can describe it as I think when I summed it up with Clare.
Adam When it came out, I thought that looks good.
Adam Then I left it, then another film came out by the same director called dragged across concrete, which was.
Adam Vince Vaughn again in not in a funny role but Vince Vaughn in a prison riot film.
Adam And I was like, oh, that sounds fucking awful.
Adam But I still want to see Bone Tomahawk.
Adam And then the guy made a third film, so he's pretty prolific.
Adam But that was a bar where some like Gulf War veterans drink.
Adam and these old boys have to defend it against a group of young punks who've turned up.
Adam I think they're basically cannon films, is the best way I can put it.
Adam You know, they're a bit sort of.
Adam Chuck Norris sort of a.
Adam So.
Adam But I mean, I I enjoyed it while it lasted, but there was definitely a there was a distinct level of sort of, oh, you you haven't moved on here, really, have you?
Adam You know.
Adam You've not thought that there might be a bit more nuance needed in this.
Adam But it does, but it does feature some really graphic,
Adam A really graphic scalping and chopping someone in half and stuff.
Adam But yeah, overall it was sort of okay. but yeah, glad glad I've watched it, glad I didn't pay for it.
Adam
Adam Well it was on prime, so I paid for it technically, but you know what I mean.
Unknown You sold your soul, Adam.
Chris Yeah.
Adam It feels it feels free, yes.
Unknown Your soul.
Adam Yes.
Unknown Not free with Amazon.
Chris It's got a lot of souls.
Adam I kind of paid for it, Jeff Bezos clearly hasn't.
Adam As he wanks in his spaceship.
Adam
Adam Then I watched Fanny Ly Deliver, which is.
Adam like it's set just after the English Civil War.
Adam And it's kind of a, it has a sort of a bit of a Western feel to it, weirdly.
Adam like a revenge Western feel to it.
Adam But basically, Maxine Peak is married to Charles Dance.
Adam Obviously, it's a loveless marriage because it's in England during the Puritan age.
Adam And he's a man of God, so it's basically, you know, he's just a prick.
Adam and then two people turn up and expose her to other religious concepts.
Adam Basically, they're ranters, which was the first blossoming of the notion of a god within.
Adam But but also they're pricks as well.
Adam And it's it's just a really good film in the sense that basically by the end of it, she has come to her own conclusion, but it's not through anyone else.
Adam It's through observing and experiencing.
Adam But yeah, but it's also it has that nasty.
Adam Witchfinder general edge.
Adam You know, where it's that that sort of a thing where it's basically it feels like that done small scale because there's only like eight people in it.
Adam
Adam But yeah, it's definitely worth checking out, it's not horror, but it's sort of it it feels a bit folk horror just the way it is because it's that period of time.
Adam But.
Adam You know, and there's some sort of gruesome moments and stuff like that.
Adam But basically, yeah, that's that's a good one.
Adam I also watched Undergods, which is a film which is like a sort of sci-fi anthology set in a future dystopia.
Adam
Adam Which was really good.
Adam Not quite sure, I think it's one of those ones where I'd sort of half recommend it in as much as if it sounds like it's your bag, go for it.
Adam But I don't know if it's for everyone.
Adam It might be not for everyone, so I might have to suggest don't cover it.
Adam
Adam And yeah, it's basically three stories of well, basically fucked up things happening in this sort of possibly Eastern European dystopian future.
Adam But it's two corpse collectors telling each other stories.
Adam
Lee Yeah.
Adam As as they drive around picking up bodies for even meat or slavery.
Adam And
Adam Yeah, it's.
Adam It's good, it's fucking brutal in places and it's also.
Adam But it's packed with really good character actors and it's oddly funny.
Adam But in that sort of way that, you know how if you watch Brazil.
Adam By the Terry Gilliam film.
Adam And it's like it's funny, but if you identify or feel yourself in that position, it's a fucking nightmare.
Lee Yeah.
Adam It has that sort of a feel to it.
Adam But,
Adam But yeah, that was genuinely genuinely good.
Adam And on recommendation from Bobby from not for everyone podcast, I watched most of series one and all of series one and most of series two of a sketch show called I think you should leave.
Lee Okay.
Adam Which I really recommend everyone watch it, it's it's like a sort of.
Adam I don't know, it's like a bit like a dark big train or something like that.
Adam It's just sort of.
Adam I can't even begin to describe the sketches.
Adam But some I mean there's some or it's it's American.
Adam it's Tim, I can't remember his name, Tim Robinson from I think from Tim and Eric's Awesome Show.
Adam I'm not sure.
Adam But.
Adam but yeah, it's just a really good sketch show and the great thing is is all the episodes are like 17, 20 minutes.
Adam So.
Adam There there's nothing that outstays it's welcome in them, but there's some great sketches.
Adam There's like one where it's the girl who's invited her snobby older boyfriend to a party.
Adam And they're playing, you know the game where it's like you take names out of a hat and you have to describe them.
Adam You know.
Adam It's that game, but he keeps coming up with like obscure jazz people and something like.
Adam What do you mean you've never heard of of weightless sugar Ray Enoch.
Adam He's he was on the Colgate jazz hour every week, come on.
Adam You know.
Adam but yeah, and and and sort of nicely childish and sort of, yeah.
Adam Yeah.
Adam It's definitely worth it definitely worth to watch that one.
Lee Excellent film.
Adam also, I've been listening to there's two podcasts, one I discovered, Alexis Sale has a podcast.
Lee
Adam And that's just really worth a listen to just to hear a grumpy man talk about weaponry and what's wrong with the world.
Adam
Chris We've got we've got Lee for that.
Adam We've got we've got Lee for that, but it when I don't speak to Lee, I get from that, you know.
Adam But I mean, it's Alexis Sale pretty much as you expect Alexis Sale.
Adam And one of the funniest things on there is just to give you an example of the mood of the show, they have a Patreon and they promise you nothing.
Adam And they said that they feel that that's in keeping with the concept of how bad things are in terms of just reality.
Adam That it's like, yeah, you pay us and we give you nothing.
Adam But if you but if you pay us like gold standard, you get absolutely nothing, you know, it's definitely nothing.
Adam And
Adam Yeah, it's just well worth listening.
Adam He's him and his producer who basically who sounds like.
Adam He's visiting his grumpy granddad and like have and he's like, granddad, you should.
Adam But I mean there's been brilliant bits.
Adam Like at one point, because Alexis Sale, as we know, doesn't give a fuck.
Adam but to actually knows that there's a reality out here.
Adam And you have to be careful.
Adam Because at one point he said, well, I mean, you know, not so much the Patreon, but I mean, I'll send you a special message if you could get me a gun.
Adam Like, you know, maybe a Glock or something like that.
Adam And it was like, no, please, Alexi, just don't say it.
Unknown Please, please don't say it.
Adam And it's like, yeah, but okay, I won't, but if you get me a gun.
Adam
Adam And also a podcast that's just started called Essex.
Lee Oh.
Unknown Oh.
Adam
Unknown It's like Indiana, but not quite as, you know, cool.
Adam It's it's not it's not quite as Joe Dante.
Adam Definitely. but basically it's them it's
Adam two two ladies, Betton Briggs Miller and Alyssa Clark.
Adam And they are sort of detailing haunted areas and stories from around Essex and the first one they've done is like haunted hotels and B&Bs and I thought that'd be right up.
Lee Yeah.
Adam Your Alley because I know I know you guys would want to go and stay in as many of them as possible.
Adam So, yeah.
Lee Absolutely.
Adam
Adam It's a but yeah, it's a good show.
Adam And also they they've displayed having the right frame of mind when they described Anthony Hopkins is both an asshole and a git.
Adam So, you know.
Adam
Adam But yeah, and so the pod those podcasts definitely worth a listen to.
Adam So, yes.
Lee Fantastic.
Adam And that's all the way.
Adam Yeah.
Adam definitely watch the podcast and definitely watch I think you should leave.
Adam So, yeah.
Lee Okay, I'll be writing those down so.
Lee Excellent, thank you very much.
Lee I've watched a couple of bits but nothing new.
Lee I've rewatched all three of the Goonies movies, amazing, but we'll be covering them at some point.
Lee I dare say, so I won't go too much into that.
Lee and I rewatched Roger Corman's The Raven with Vincent Price, Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff, that's his name, wasn't it?
Lee yeah, which again in the in the fantastic.
Lee World of Roger Corman where he would basically take an Edgar Allen Poe story, take the name and then entirely write something that had nothing to do with anything, really.
Lee And then.
Adam The Raven.
Lee So basically it's battling wizards and it starts with a raven turns up at the window.
Lee He lets it in and it's Peter Lorre who's been bewitched into being a raven.
Lee He turns him back and he says, that prick up the hill did it.
Lee By the way, your dead wife isn't really dead, he's got her enchanted up there.
Lee And they go up there to try and get his wife back and it's, it's mental.
Adam Yeah.
Lee but it's fantastic fun and it's really, it's really funny and it's really brightly colored and it's.
Lee It's all the great things that Roger Corman's comedy horror stuff was really.
Adam We should again, we should definitely cover it on the show at some point.
Adam Especially because I know Clare's requested to see more Vincent Price and that's definitely one I've got lined up.
Lee Yeah.
Adam Because it's yeah, just a great little run around that film, yeah.
Lee Definitely.
Chris Sounds great.
Lee quick RIP, obviously, and I think it's a horror related as as music gets really.
Lee obviously, Joey from Slipknot died.
Lee At 46 this week.
Adam Yeah.
Lee As far as I'm aware, they still haven't said why, his family just said he died in his sleep.
Lee
Adam Yeah, but his passengers died screaming.
Adam He was driving a bus at the time.
Adam Bum, bum.
Adam Sorry.
Lee Yeah, I just felt that was worth worth mentioning is, I mean, they're definitely a horror band, so
Adam Oh, yes.
Lee and I watched one other thing which isn't quite horror, but.
Lee We have had a hashtag Ask Welcome to Horror question.
Lee And the other thing that Jennifer and I have been watching falls into that category.
Lee So, Adam, would you like to read our hashtag Ask Welcome to Horror question?
Adam Let me just spring up on the screen.
Lee Open it, get it back out the envelope, he's opening it up from the mailbag.
Adam Yeah, come out of the golden envelope.
Adam right.
Adam This.
Adam And and this this part of the show we call Ask Welcome to Horror.
Adam And this week's Ask Welcome to Horror comes from a Bobby from Texas.
Adam who has asked, what is the best introduction to cult British sci-fi television?
Adam And yeah, that's hell of a question.
Adam Thanks, thanks, Bobby.
Adam So, yes.
Adam Lee, so I I think I know what you've been what you you've been I know what you've been watching lately and definitely I'm, yeah, that goes on the list certainly.
Adam So do you want to kick off?
Lee Oh, thank you very much.
Lee Yes.
Lee So, so the main one that I would suggest for this, is as we've mentioned quite a lot recently is Sapphire and Steel.
Adam Yes.
Lee Which, which we've just finished so, we've finished all six seasons in the last two months or so.
Lee and I can honestly say.
Unknown It makes no sense.
Lee When we got to the final episode of season six, I knew exactly the same as I learned at the end of episode one, season one.
Unknown Yeah, that's absolutely.
Chris Now that that is that is either genius or double genius.
Unknown Yeah.
Lee It.
Chris Because it kept it kept him for all six seasons.
Lee It's a fantastic show, it's nothing's ever explained, none of it ever makes any sense.
Lee But it is so entertaining and so good, it's fantastic.
Lee David McCullin, who I didn't really know particularly before this.
Lee
Lee He's absolute national treasure, I loved him so much.
Lee He's such a prick in it.
Lee He was.
Adam He is so good.
Lee Yeah.
Unknown He has got a run for the money with Lestat, I think for later, really.
Unknown Isn't he?
Lee Yes.
Unknown He's the biggest prick.
Adam I I would feel threatened by steel, I think.
Adam I think Lestat I would just be bothered.
Lee Yeah.
Adam Annoyed.
Lee He'd spoil your night, but you wouldn't be scared of him.
Lee Joanna Lumley, obviously I was amazing, I've only ever really.
Lee Apart from the the hammer movie that she was in, I've obviously only ever seen her in absolutely fabulous.
Lee So I've never seen her in a serious role, I didn't realize what a fantastic actress she is.
Lee Because in she's a caricature, isn't she?
Lee So.
Adam She's good.
Adam Oh, she's fucking brilliant.
Adam It's it's a weird thing because like you say, I mean, basically to give give the concept, Sapphire and Steel is.
Adam A show about what can best be described as two time detectives who come from somewhere, they are not human and they turn up and solve problems with time.
Adam But it's things, basically, it's time breaking into reality.
Adam And causing things like hauntings and time slips and.
Adam They even do like a future episode and stuff like that.
Adam And like people from the future.
Adam Everything is set in the present, like the the then present day, which was the late 70s, early 80s.
Unknown Yeah, 70s, I love the outfits.
Adam And oh, yeah, I mean some of them are quite stunning, you know.
Adam And
Adam So they basically turn up and have to solve these problems.
Adam There's a really obscure intro to it where they describe all these people.
Adam And but they say they describe them as elements, which is unfortunately fucked up.
Adam Because neither Sapphire nor Steel are elements.
Lee You've ruined it, Adam, now.
Adam I know.
Adam I know.
Adam But the but the interesting thing is is that there's sort of certain things in there.
Adam Like when you dig deep on the mythology and stuff like that, there's sort of things where it's like, can steel exist at the point.
Adam Before steel was invented by man.
Lee Oh.
Adam Because you know, it's not a naturally Sapphire is a naturally occurring compound, whereas steel is manmade.
Adam So it's like, oh, if they sent him back in time, he can't live a certain point because he can't exist as he doesn't occur at that point.
Adam And yeah.
Adam But it's that's besides the point.
Adam But it's just mind bending stuff.
Adam Steel and and basically the great thing is is that you get them.
Adam You really understand their characters.
Lee Yeah.
Adam Almost from the the off.
Adam And each series is a is a contained story.
Adam So there's like the first one's a six part, second one's I think eight, which is the haunted railway station, which is probably the is the one that everyone remembers or everyone goes on about when they watch the first time.
Unknown More sense kind of in a way, is it?
Unknown Yeah.
Adam Yes.
Adam And then of course you've got the episode you've got the story of the man who lives in photographs, who has no face.
Adam
Adam Which which just saying it is creepy.
Adam And so.
Adam And that's the thing is you get this sort of you've got these two people who you are familiar with despite not knowing.
Adam Really what they're what they're about or what they are.
Adam And they investigate like really creepy, weird, melodramatic moments and they tend to.
Adam Meet up with like one human, I mean they're fairly sort of like small cast, aren't they, usually?
Adam I mean there's that.
Adam but but all in all, that is that's a definite recommend.
Adam Sapphire and Steel.
Adam Because oddly enough, it's one of those things where it's just really so well fucking done.
Adam That it bypasses the confusion.
Lee Yeah.
Lee Yeah.
Lee As as Chris said, that's absolutely it.
Lee To watch something for six seasons and then the end of it say, at the end of the first episode, you find out ghosts aren't ghosts, they're just things in the past that are breaking through time.
Lee And there's never anything that you learn beyond that ever.
Lee But you don't need to, they just make it so like it's the characters, it's all about the characters and then trying to beat this unknown, unseen force.
Unknown But I guess probably back then, you know, like the the effects aren't great, obviously.
Unknown And you know, kind of you kind of had to build on the characters and the acting, I think, to be able to make it interesting and make it.
Unknown Whereas a lot of things perhaps after that, you know, rely on effects to entertain.
Lee But as you said Adam, the small cast and small sets because the idea is there are events that are happening in like a time slip, so it's always a contained there. So it's only that place and those people who are in it. You still you had one studio, that was it.
Lee
Lee But yeah, so that's definitely.
Adam It's ITV, that's why they could afford McCallum and Lumley, that's where all that's where all the money went.
Lee Oh, is it?
Adam Definitely.
Lee Oh, rightfully so, those two are incredible together.
Adam Also, also when David Collins turns up as silver.
Lee Yeah, I love him so much and LED, yeah.
Adam As well, because that's the thing is they do bring in the other and like LED's just fantastic.
Adam And again, it's that weird thing, it's like, I now don't know why he's there.
Adam And what he's bringing to it.
Adam But you just love the character, he's just because he's.
Adam Because he's such an opposite to either of those two.
Adam Because Sapphire's quite quite well.
Unknown
Adam And.
Adam And then Silver's just like he's like, I don't know, he's like Tom Hiddleston as Loki.
Adam
Adam He's just he's that sort of trickster sort of thing, even though he's a good guy.
Adam You he's just faintly amused by it all.
Adam And you know.
Lee Yeah.
Adam Fantastic.
Lee so to my only other thing.
Lee which again, I have seen not as much as Adam, but I thoroughly enjoyed.
Lee I think Chris Jones came over and watched the whole thing in like one night.
Lee is Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, obviously.
Chris Oh, yeah.
Lee The TV series.
Lee yeah, so I don't know it in depth because I've only seen it through once, but we did literally marathon the whole thing.
Lee and I get people's love for it now because it's like the effects let it down because of its period.
Lee But.
Lee It's got that charm about it, which makes you kind of bypass that.
Lee
Adam It's so well written and so well performed.
Adam Again, like Sapphire and Steel.
Adam It's that same thing of just like, you're forgiving this because you're in.
Adam Yeah, you're just in you're in because of the humor and the and in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the humor and the stuff.
Adam And because the thing is is Hitchhiker's was originally a radio show and when they and then Douglas Adams wrote it as a book.
Adam And then they decided to make it for TV and the weird thing was is they were like, shit, what do we do because of.
Adam We've got this narrator, we've got the book's narration.
Adam On the radio show and they were like, what, how do we do that then?
Adam And then they came up with, well, we could animate the read out of the book.
Adam And the the animation, you know, some of the the practical effects like around the people and the monsters and the robots and stuff like that.
Adam Some of them are a bit chunky and a bit crap.
Adam But those like the read outs of the book like the animation of that.
Adam Is beautiful.
Lee He's incredible.
Adam It's just.
Adam And also just one of those things where you look at it and it's like, computers don't look this good now.
Lee No.
Adam And they because when they did the film of it, the film was okay, but the one thing that I felt was is that all the all the book stuff was all like looked a bit like flash animation.
Adam It looked like.
Lee Yeah.
Adam It looked like you'd gone on Wok Records' website, which was a really nice well-designed website, but equally it was like, no, I've seen this.
Adam Whereas the.
Adam The ones in the TV show are definitely and and most of the it's most of the same cast like most of the radio cast moved over and did the TV version.
Adam Yeah.
Adam And again with the film.
Adam That's the weird thing you've got like the infinite improbability drive and in the film, it's like, oh, we've turned into sofas, and oh, we've turned into knitted people.
Adam And I can't help but feel that was Douglas said, like,
Adam Yeah, we didn't really have the budget to do it last time, so, you know, we'll reduce it down.
Adam And it's like, yeah, because on the TV show, one of them turns into a penguin and the other one's arms fall off.
Lee Yeah.
Adam On South End Pier, it's like, yeah, it's.
Adam And obviously.
Adam Just I mean, just the fucking dialogue and the the humor of the whole thing is just, yeah.
Adam And and Arthur Dent is probably the the quintessential.
Adam Englishman, I think in so much as.
Adam Utterly inept.
Lee Yeah.
Adam But mudling through.
Lee Yeah.
Adam You know.
Adam But but you know.
Chris Is he very polite as well?
Lee He is.
Adam Have you never seen Hitchhiker's, Chris?
Chris No.
Lee Oh, dude.
Lee He's so you.
Unknown We'll call him Arthur from now on.
Lee Right.
Adam Right, we'll re we'll catch you in the next one, but go and watch it now.
Chris Not not until I've seen it.
Unknown Tomorrow, you can watch it tomorrow.
Adam Definitely, seriously.
Adam Yeah, if you.
Adam It's the, yeah, the six part series, watch it, you will fall in love.
Adam It is incredible.
Lee Yeah.
Adam Fantastic.
Unknown It's like the original Rick and Morty.
Lee Yeah.
Adam He's not far off.
Adam Because it has that high concept stuff going on.
Adam I mean, it's not.
Adam I mean, there's no Mr. Poopy butthole in in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Adam But then.
Adam But then, I mean, when you I mean, fucking hell, I mean, on his own you've got Marvin the paranoid Android and every line of his is a meme.
Lee Yeah.
Adam It's, you know, I think you're I'm feeling very depressed.
Adam And just from there, you know, it causes me pain to even think down to your level.
Chris It sounds it sounds a little bit along Terry Pratchet kind of a.
Lee I was just going to say that actually.
Chris Comedy kind of yeah.
Lee Yeah.
Adam
Adam In fact, the I mean, books wise, Terry Pratchett obviously did Discworld and pretty much the same with Douglas Adams, Douglas Adams mainly wrote more Hitchhiker's.
Adam So.
Adam The world built and built and built and, yeah.
Adam You do sort of.
Adam And.
Adam Yeah, it's just an incredible one and not only that, but also I think it's one there's nothing in it.
Adam You you could definitely watch it with your kids.
Lee Yeah.
Adam They would not they there's no there's no particularly bad language, there's definitely nothing too scary, there's nothing too there's nothing too violent or sexy or anything else like that.
Chris That's that's very English.
Adam It's very English, yes.
Adam But still brilliant.
Adam Exactly. I mean, that's the thing, is that that goes to prove how well it is that it doesn't need sex, violence, swearing.
Adam And.
Chris It's still.
Adam And car chases to sort of.
Unknown Yeah, game around and it doesn't need it. Yeah.
Adam Exactly.
Lee so my to my only other thing.
Lee which again, I have seen not as much as Adam, but I thoroughly enjoyed.
Lee I think Chris Jones came over and watched the whole thing in like one night.
Lee is Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, obviously.
Chris Oh, yeah.
Lee The TV series.
Lee yeah, so I don't know it in depth because I've only seen it through once, but we did literally marathon the whole thing.
Lee and I get people's love for it now because it's like the effects let it down because of its period, but it's got that charm about it, which makes you kind of bypass that.
Lee
Adam It's so well written and so well performed.
Adam Again, like Sapphire and Steel.
Adam It's that same thing of just like, you're forgiving this because you're in.
Adam Yeah, you're just in you're in because of the humor and the and in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the humor and the stuff.
Adam And because the thing is is Hitchhiker's was originally a radio show and when they and then Douglas Adams wrote it as a book.
Adam And then they decided to make it for TV and the weird thing was is they were like, shit, what do we do because of.
Adam We've got this narrator, we've got the book's narration.
Adam On the radio show and they were like, what, how do we do that then?
Adam And then they came up with, well, we could animate the read out of the book.
Adam And the the animation, you know, some of the the practical effects like around the people and the monsters and the robots and stuff like that.
Adam Some of them are a bit chunky and a bit crap.
Adam But those like the read outs of the book like the animation of that.
Adam Is beautiful.
Lee He's incredible.
Adam It's just.
Adam And also just one of those things where you look at it and it's like, computers don't look this good now.
Lee No.
Adam And they because when they did the film of it, the film was okay, but the one thing that I felt was is that all the all the book stuff was all like looked a bit like flash animation.
Adam It looked like.
Lee Yeah.
Adam It looked like you'd gone on Wok Records' website, which was a really nice well-designed website, but equally it was like, no, I've seen this.
Adam Whereas the.
Adam The ones in the TV show are definitely and and most of the it's most of the same cast like most of the radio cast moved over and did the TV version.
Adam Yeah.
Adam And again with the film.
Adam That's the weird thing you've got like the infinite improbability drive and in the film, it's like, oh, we've turned into sofas, and oh, we've turned into knitted people.
Adam And I can't help but feel that was Douglas said, like,
Adam Yeah, we didn't really have the budget to do it last time, so, you know, we'll reduce it down.
Adam And it's like.
Adam Yeah, because on the TV show, one of them turns into a penguin and the other one's arms fall off.
Lee Yeah.
Adam On South End Pier, it's like, yeah, it's.
Adam And obviously.
Adam Just I mean, just the fucking dialogue and the the humor of the whole thing is just, yeah.
Adam And and Arthur Dent is probably the the quintessential.
Adam Englishman, I think in so much as utterly inept.
Lee Yeah.
Adam But mudling through.
Lee Yeah.

Adam And the the animation, you know, some of the the practical effects like around the people and the monsters and the robots and stuff like that.
Adam Some of them are a bit chunky and a bit crap.
Adam But those like the read outs of the book like the animation of that.
Adam Is beautiful.
Lee He's incredible.
Adam It's just.
Adam And also just one of those things where you look at it and it's like, computers don't look this good now.
Lee No.
Adam And they because when they did the film of it, the film was okay, but the one thing that I felt was is that all the all the book stuff was all like looked a bit like flash animation.
Adam It looked like.
Lee Yeah.
Adam It looked like you'd gone on Wok Records' website, which was a really nice well-designed website, but equally it was like, no, I've seen this.
Adam Whereas the.
Adam The ones in the TV show are definitely and and most of the it's most of the same cast like most of the radio cast moved over and did the TV version.
Adam Yeah.
Adam And again with the film.
Adam That's the weird thing you've got like the infinite improbability drive and in the film, it's like, oh, we've turned into sofas, and oh, we've turned into knitted people.
Adam And I can't help but feel that was Douglas said, like,
Adam Yeah, we didn't really have the budget to do it last time, so, you know, we'll reduce it down.
Adam And it's like.
Adam Yeah, because on the TV show, one of them turns into a penguin and the other one's arms fall off.
Lee Yeah.
Adam On South End Pier, it's like, yeah, it's.
Adam And obviously.
Adam Just I mean, just the fucking dialogue and the the humor of the whole thing is just, yeah.
Adam And and Arthur Dent is probably the the quintessential.
Adam Englishman, I think in so much as utterly inept.
Lee Yeah.
Adam But mudling through.
Lee Yeah.
Adam You know.
Adam But but you know.
Chris Is he very polite as well?
Lee He is.
Adam Have you never seen Hitchhiker's, Chris?
Chris No.
Lee Oh, dude.
Lee He's so you.
Unknown We'll call him Arthur from now on.
Lee Right.
Adam Right, we'll re we'll catch you in the next one, but go and watch it now.
Chris Not not until I've seen it.
Unknown Tomorrow, you can watch it tomorrow.
Adam Definitely, seriously.
Adam Yeah.
Lee so to my only other thing.
Lee which again, I have seen not as much as Adam, but I thoroughly enjoyed.
Lee I think Chris Jones came over and watched the whole thing in like one night.
Lee is Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, obviously.
Chris Oh, yeah.
Lee The TV series.
Lee yeah, so I don't know it in depth because I've only seen it through once, but we did literally marathon the whole thing.
Lee and I get people's love for it now because it's like the effects let it down because of its period, but it's got that charm about it, which makes you kind of bypass that.
Lee
Adam It's so well written and so well performed.
Adam Again, like Sapphire and Steel.
Adam It's that same thing of just like, you're forgiving this because you're in.
Adam Yeah, you're just in you're in because of the humor and the and in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the humor and the stuff.
Adam And because the thing is is Hitchhiker's was originally a radio show and when they and then Douglas Adams wrote it as a book.
Adam And then they decided to make it for TV and the weird thing was is they were like, shit, what do we do because of.
Adam We've got this narrator, we've got the book's narration.
Adam On the radio show and they were like, what, how do we do that then?
Adam And then they came up with, well, we could animate the read out of the book.
Adam And the the animation, you know, some of the the practical effects like around the people and the monsters and the robots and stuff like that.
Adam Some of them are a bit chunky and a bit crap.
Adam But those like the read outs of the book like the animation of that.
Adam Is beautiful.
Lee He's incredible.
Adam It's just.
Adam And also just one of those things where you look at it and it's like, computers don't look this good now.
Lee No.
