    A Degree Absolute!

    Critics Chris Klimek and Glen Weldon both loved the late-60s British sci-fi series “The Prisoner” in their formative years, but they haven’t seen it in a long time and they’re not at all sure how it will play in a 21st century rife with with “alternative facts” and militant individualism at the expense of social responsibility. One thing is certain: Run-DMC were clearly influenced by the vocal patterns of Patrick McGoohan, and that malicious weather balloon is still eerie as hell. Wait, that’s two things.

    Join them for this illuminating rewatch!

    SCANNERS with Alexandra Petri Sep 01, 2021
    Show notes

    Democracy dies in dorkiness this week as the brilliant Washington Post columnist, essayist, playwright and retired (?) Emo Sith Lord Alexandra Petri joins us to autopsy David Cronenberg's 1981 explosive migrane of a cult classic Scanners, featuring 24 minutes of a possibly first-billed, maybe third-billed, but unequivocally box-named-on-the poster Patty McG as a, um, North American mad scientist named... Dr. Ruth. Glen is determined to spark an international incident by dismissing Steven Lack, the picture's aptly named lead player, as "Canadian hot" while assessing future Lion in Winter star Michael Ironside as "Philadelphia hot."

    It's a ripe program, this one. Ripe indeed.

    Scanners

    Written and directed by David Cronenberg

    ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ with Jesse Thorn Aug 18, 2021
    Show notes

    Maximum Fun? More like maximum security! Maximum Fun podcast network founder and San Francisco native Jesse Thorn joins us this week to tunnel through the crumbling walls of Escape From Alcatraz, the 1979 Clint Eastwood-starring dramatization of the real 1962 prison break, featuring Patty McG as…The Warden. Stunt casting doesn't get any stuntier, though Glen and I differ on exactly how much The Artist Formerly Known Only as Number Six contributes to the 115-minute picture in his roughly 10 minutes of screen time.

    Escape From Alcatraz

    Directed by Don Siegel

    Screenplay by Richard Tuggle

    Based on the book Escape from Alcatraz by J. Campbell Bruce

    McGoohan on COLUMBO with Linda Holmes Aug 10, 2021
    Show notes

    DID YOU KNOW that Columbophiles are properly nomenclatured Columboheads or Trenchcoatheads?

    DID YOU KNOW that fans who divide their sympathies equally among Patrick McGoohan and Peter Falk are formally designated McGalks?

    Pal Linda Holmes joins Glen & Chris to investigate Patty McG's historic run as a four-time Columbo killer / five-time Columbo director. Brandon Routh, the George Lazenby of Supermen despite being admirably heighted to the role, also gets a surprising quotient of airtime on this typically tangent-tolerant episode of our private, personal, by-hand, punchcard-driven podcast!

    Fall Out Jul 14, 2021
    Show notes

    Patty McG has claimed he was driven out of England after this puzzling final episode of The Prisoner debuted on Feb. 1, 1968. McGoohan admitted to financier Lew Grade that he'd been bluffing a year prior when he told the moneyman that he had an ending in mind for the strange new series he'd proposed.

    While this episode certainly reflects its creator's exasperation and exhaustion, it's more satisfying than any conventional resolution of the show's myriad mysteries could possibly have been... isn't it?

    "Fall Out"

    Written and directed by Patrick McGoohan
