Episode Description
In this episode of the show we are parting ways with Stuart Gordon-Tober as we are discussing his 1991 The Pit and the Pendulum. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Gordon moving from adapting Lovecraft to another challenging godfather of horror, Edgar Allan Poe, how challenging it must have been to essentially have to invent a story to wrap around a sparse narrative and whether this exercise bore any fruit. We also talk about the place of violence in this movie, its intersection with humour, swashbuckling while wielding soup ladles and - of course - Lance Henriksen's hair.
Tune in and enjoy!
