Oh but we will truly always have Ruth Wilson. And that haircut who’s now in “Stranger Things.”
OBLIGATORY! NEW! EP! We tuck warily into the first half of the six-part 2009 reimagining of THE PRISONER, set in a desert Village where McGoohans are Caviezels, McKerns are McKellens, & foodstuffs are...wraps.
We'll always have Hayley Atwell, at least.

Just found a cache of Prisoner movie stuff from the 90s, when I was (in blissful naive ignorance) trying to write the script for it. There’s my rejection letter from Tig Productions, who received my treatment (poor things) when Costner was thinking of making it.

MOOR COWBELL! Paul Harris’s Othello stand-in Rex falls prey to Patty McG’s Iago stand-in Johnny Cousin in ALL NIGHT LONG, a jazzy 60s London gloss on the tragedy. Voice expert @caseyerinclark joins us to solve the mcmystery of McGoohan’s mcnificent vox!

PHONE A FRIEND! Wannabe auteur Alexis Kanner sued 20th Century Fox after DIE HARD hit in ‘88, calling it a “cinematic rape” of his quirky shot-in-’77, long-shelved hostage drama KINGS AND DESPERATE MEN.
@ghweldon & I examine the case on @NotaNumberPod!

SCARF down our @NotaNumberPod episode examining a confounding movie with an almost indecipherably MUFFLED soundtrack! It’s a double-barreled BLAST! Something about pursed lips!

94 years ago, Patrick McGoohan was born. A free man. Most believe he passed away a decade ago. But we know where he really is, right? #6 👁 👌

Go ahead and fritter away 90ish irreplaceable but pleasurably low-stakes minutes with us, why don’t you? Putin and Greg Abbott will still be monsters when you get back.
