Episode 81: The Last Withnail

What’s the old saying? “Ask and you shall receive.” Maybe I’m thinking of “Be careful what you wish for.” It can go either way this week as you will hear.

First up is our top six list of underused and / or underappreciated action stars.

Then we get into our first review, 1987’s “Withnail and I.” The sociopath drunk junkie, Withnail (Richard E. Grant) and his equally unemployed actor friend I, (Marwood played by Paul McGann) need to get out of their squalid apartment and into better surroundings. They accidentally end up on holiday in the English countryside where they can’t seem to adjust. Hunted (?) by a poacher, stalked by a homosexual “Uncle” (Richard Griffiths) and facing down randy bulls are but a few of the problems facing the pair. A true cult film, it is written and directed by Bruce Robinson.

Next up is the 1982 flick, “The Last Horror Film.” Directed by David Winters and starring Caroline Munro and Joe Spinell, “The Last Horror Film” tells the story of one man’s quest to put his favorite actress in his movie. Or does it? The back-story may actually be more interesting than the plot of the film.
