Wild, Wild Podcast - LAST PLATOON (1988)

Adrian and I are heading back into the jungle for one last mission - to make a podcast about a film most regular people haven't heard of. It's possible that neither will make it out alive. And even if they do, can Donald Pleasence get the rescue chopper to them in time?

This season is dedicated to that great quiet man of British cinema, Donald Pleasence, who spent a great deal of time in the 1980s in Italy. We would love to hear from you about your favorite Donald Pleasence films from this period, or if you have ever got your foot caught on a bamboo spike.

You can get in touch with us, follow us on social media, buy our merch, and all that stuff, through our LINKTREE.

THE FIGHTING PRINCE OF DONEGAL (1966) Poster Art

This is one of the lesser known Disney films produced in the UK during the 1960s. It seems that making these live action adventures was a way to keep from paying taxes on a chunk of the profits Disney made in that country. For viewers it meant a series of rousing historical action movies that kids and adults could enjoy. This is probably the weakest of them but I still found it well worth the watch.

Happy Birthday Tarzan of the Apes!

Today is the anniversary of when "Tarzan of the Apes" by Edgar Rice Burroughs first hit the newsstands in the October 1912 issue of The All-Story pulp magazine! There seems to be some thought among scholars that the true release date might be September 10, 1912 but I'll just celebrate both days and be happy.

Could this be my favorite Brain Donlevy film? 

Well, no.

It's the foreign ones that I find the most intriguing.
