Movie Meltdown - Episode 367
This week we return to our
segment The Caffeinated Movie Geek as actor Dean
Cameron sits in to discuss life, conventions and the film
Withnail and I. Plus we bring up the
reunion of Summer School's Chainsaw and Dave!
And while we debunk the romanticized
mythology of King Curtis, we also mention... Dickens, this is
really Uncle Monty, watching Dan play Minecraft, the chaos, King
Lear, Doctor Who, Xander Berkeley, Ric Olié, I'll never play The
Dane, Zeffirelli's auditions, Del Preston, the guy I've never heard
of is cleaning up, there's some genuine love that gets put out
there, the end of the 60's, a tone piece, performances in a vacuum,
being Ted Neeley and breaking the rules, because of you guys - I
make masks, Hell or High Water, Tweeting with Dustin Hoffman, the
career you should have had, a perennial for actors, Rick Baker's
assistants, building-up celebrities to tear them down, Jimi
Hendrix, grows a head in his shoulder, turn of the century paupers,
in it's own time and place, badly lit, liquor in the shotgun, the
death rumor, touching people's lives, Spice World, Doubt, classic
grim British feel, ABC movie of the week, no discernible jokes,
association with drug use, quotes and a question mark, too much
like life, How to Get Ahead in Advertising, I wouldn't want a woman
who would go out with me and Masters of Sex.
Spoiler Alert: Full spoilers
for the 1987 film Withnail and I, so go watch it before
you listen.
"Everybody completely commits to
it... it's just a grim tale."
