Pod Stallions Episode 31: Christopher Lee

[RSS]

This month as we lost one of the most iconic character actors to walk this earth in the form of Christopher Lee.


This episode tries to discuss as much as possible about the man and his exhaustive career, the hammer horror days, James Bond, Space:1999, Captain Invincible, Starship Invasions and that time he fought Captain America.

We, of course, digress into a discussion about action figures, Doctor Who, Peter Cushing and much, much more.

Two of my favorite things: Pod Stallions, and Christopher Lee. Can't wait to hear it.

Great episode! Lee as the Doctor boggles the mind. Hey, if Cushing could do it...

You two talking about the climax to Horror of Dracula has the pounding music running through my head. Hands down one of my favorite film climaxes ever. Perfect!

Good idea. Can't wait to listen.

Another great episode...

I'd never heard that Lee was up for "Doctor Who Meets Scratchman," but I know there were often calls for Lee to play a villain on the show. Since the reboot, I know there were plenty of people hoping he might play the Black Guardian.

Christopher Lee's output was amazing, and he is continually excellent, no matter the overall film. I think his work in Rasputin, the Mad Monk is underrated and definitely holds up well.

The New Adventures of Robin Hood was TNT's effort to get into the fantasy genre in the era of Hercules and Xena. While it wasn't exactly a great entry into the Robin Hood mythos, it had some interesting guest stars, including both Lee and Geoffrey Bayldon as wizards.

Well done on the tribute.

Two more things: Being a fan of "Ghost Riders in the Sky" (esp. the Johnny Cash rendition), I was gobsmacked by Lee's version. How cool could this guy have possibly been?

Oh, and Brian, you didn't miss the TCM marathon. It's this Monday, the 21st. I was thinking it was this past Monday too, for some reason.

Cool, I'll download it this evening and have it at the top of my listening queue for work next Monday.
