The Wicker Man (1973) is on trial this week. Do we like these apples or is it a basket case? Gav argues a gripping story about paganism and Christianity topped off with one of the finest finales in horror history make this a classic. Dave and Alex argue it tries to be both a mystery-horror and a deep discussion of religion, ending up as neither. All this with an impression of Christopher Lee and another of a flaming Edward Woodward, with a quiz all about angles in historic monuments. www.filmsontrial.co.uk/257
Reel Britannia podcast - a very British podcast about very British movies...with just a hint of professionalism. Scott and Steven are joined this week by their dear friend Mark, host of The Good, The Bad and The Odd podcast, to discuss an overlooked movie from 1972 starring Oliver Reed, Edward Woodward, Ian McShane, Frank Finlay, Freddie Jones and Jill St John. Revenge, car chases, prison escapes...what more you could ask for? Sitting Target (1972) A killer has one more victim on his hit list – his faithless wife! Oliver Reed snarls and seethes his way through a brute-force 70's crime thriller in the tradition of Get Carter. Douglas Hickox, who would go on to helm such memorable films as Theatre of Blood and Zulu Dawn, brings his filmmaking intensity to a story of revenge set in a London as bleak and brooding as the prison from which convicted killer Harry Lomart (Reed) and his fellow inmate (Ian McShane) escape. Once free, Harry sets out to exterminate his seductive wife (Jill St. John), who carries another man's child. Armed with a handgun, fueled by rage, Harry draws closer to his sitting target. Also closing in: a police inspector (Edward Woodward), who's determined to protect the hunted woman. Reed and McShane – one grim, one voluble, and both steeped in violence -- make an intimidating tough-guy team. "Bastard must be made out of concrete!"

For the 17th TMR Movie Roundtable we welcome back our good friends Frank Johnson, Antony Rotunno and Mark Campbell for another four-way discussion, this time on the cult British supernatural horror film The Appoinrment (1981/2) starring Edward Woodward and directed by Lindsey C Vickers. "An evil and enigmatic entity throws a family into turmoil in Lindsey C. Vickers' much sought-after cult horror. Unable to attend his daughter's violin recital, suburban father Ian—played by Edward Woodward (The Wicker Man)—is haunted by a series of prophetic nightmares that seem to foresee a looming tragedy. Are dark forces gathering to be unleashed upon him?"—BFI.org.uk After initial screenings at film festivals in the early 1980s, The Appointment wasn't released in cinemas or on television (for various unfathomable reasons) but only on home media, although it did eventually get broadcast on UK regional television in the 1990s—a showing that, ironically enough, its director missed!. Ever since, many have searched for the film—religiously scanning TV schedules and hunting in second-hand shops in the hope tracking down one of those old VHS or Betamax video tapes—but it was not until 2022 that the film became widely available once again thanks to the British Film Institute and the film's director Lindsey Vickers (who was extensively involved in the project). The Appointment is now available on Blu-ray Disc as part of the BFI Flipside series (see show notes). Join us as we discuss the production and reflect theologically/philosophically on the themes and meanings of this almost-lost cult British movie.

The Equalizer Season 4 Episode 17: Prisoners of Conscience Aired on CBS: April 27, 1989 Directed by: Marc Laub Written by : Robert Eisele Featuring: Tony Plana, Pat Hingle, Dan O'Herlihy, Tim Woodward (Edward's son!) Another Equalizer episode with international intrigue. Whereas last week dealt with Bulgarian ambassadors, this time we got a team of torturers in town working for the Chilean government. But as with every Equalizer episode, the creators add some additional, crazy intrugue of their own: The head torturer (Randall Payne) just happens to be the same man who killed Robert McCall's father; we get a flashback/dream sequence with the Equalizer talking to his father, played by Edward Woodward's real life son Tim Woodward; plus the torture sequences have less polish than our 21st century sensibilities are accustomed to, so that's kinda weird. Chris and Chuck go deep on Chilean history, pronounce "Pinochet" in every way possible, and salute Robert Lansing for his final appearance as Control. @equalizerspod equalizerspodcast at gmail dot com https://www.facebook.com/equalizerspodcast/

The 1970s version might not have Nic Cage, but The Wicker Man (1973) has everything else. Nudity? Check. Singing? Check. Ancient Pagan rituals, haunted candle hands, and all the canned food you could dream of? Check, check, check! What more could you want, really? Well, if you're main character Sergeant Neil Howie, probably to lead a good Christian investigation into the mystery of a missing girl — but on Scotland's fictional Summerisle, that task proves harder than it seems. This week on Spooky Tuesday, we're joining the hunt as we discuss costumes, colonialism and CLEAR references.

The Equalizer Season 4 Episode 16: Time Present, Time Past Aired on CBS: April 20, 1989 Directed by: Gordon Hessler Written by : Tom Towler Featuring: William Zabka, Shirley Knight, Brian Bedford, Dennis Boutsikaris A big episode for the larger Equalizer through-story: First, the second appearance of Kay: Equalizer's ex-wife and Scott's mother. Shirley Knight got a Best Guest Actress Emmy nomination for her "You were never there for us... and now look what you've done: Scott's been kidnapped by the Bulgarian Embassy" scenes with Edward Woodward. Secondly, this episode is a series wrap for William Zabka, and what a way to go: a training montage, thwarting the Bulgarians, losing his innocence, listening an opera album on headphones. It's a tour de force. And then the action itself - brotherly strife between two Bulgarian spies by two veteran guest stars of the show - packs a punch and checks off one more country whose spies the Equalizer has taken head on. @equalizerspod equalizerspodcast at gmail dot com https://www.facebook.com/equalizerspodcast/

Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! Today, we're diving into the eerie, enigmatic, and utterly unforgettable world of The Wicker Man (1973). Directed by Robin Hardy, this British folk horror film has become a cult classic, celebrated for its atmospheric tension, haunting soundtrack, and a storyline that lingers long after the credits roll.The Wicker Man transports us to the remote island of Summerisle, where Police Sergeant Neil Howie (played by Edward Woodward) arrives to investigate the disappearance of a young girl. What he discovers is a community steeped in pagan rituals and traditions, starkly contrasting with his devout Christian beliefs.Howie's investigation unravels in a community that at first seems idyllic and welcoming, but harbors dark secrets beneath its surface. The islanders, led by the charismatic Lord Summerisle (a role immortalized by Christopher Lee), engage in practices that bewilder and horrify the devout sergeant, leading him on a path that culminates in one of cinema's most shocking finales.The Wicker Man is more than a horror film; it's a piece of cinematic art that questions, provokes, and mesmerizes. Its influence can be seen in numerous films and TV shows that followed, making it essential viewing for fans of the genre and cinephiles alike.So, whether you're a long-time fan or new to the haunting tale of Sergeant Howie and the island of Summerisle, join us as we explore the legacy, the lore, and the lasting impact of "The Wicker Man."
To kick off our “Folk Around and Find Out” triple feature, we're trading burnt humans for a successful harvest in Robin Hardy's sun-worshiping, hare-raising horror masterpiece, THE WICKER MAN, starring Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee, Diane Cilento, and Britt Ekland.

The Wicker Man is a cult movie about a cult, so that alone makes it a good choice for Scary Movie Month. Robin Hardy's film is really more of a mystery than a horror extravaganza though, as the pious and intentionally unlikable policeman from the mainland (Edward Woodward) slowly finds out just how dedicated the Scottish islanders are to their Lord (Christopher Lee). These people love their apples. They're also liberated, sexy and even like to have fun on Summerisle, but they're often mean-spirited as they essentially torture the repressed cop. The picture isn't especially frightening, but the iconic ending is disturbing and haunting. Oh, and as influential as The Wicker Man is, we forgot to mention that this movie was also the inspiration for the Burning Man Festival! We DID often mention the ludicrous Nicolas Cage remake a lot though. Something about a shark.

We just can't get enough Christopher Lee this month so let's make it five and check out his “Austin Powers” look. You're the most catholic Scottish cop on the planet. You're literally abstaining sex until marriage like a madman. You get a letter telling you that a girl has been missing on a place called Summerisle. You go there alone. People are fucking out on their lawns. Children are laughing at you. The old timers are lying to you. The lord of the place has more drip than you. Is this a murder mystery or are you a beetle on a string tied to a nail? We're capping this week's HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST with Robin Hardy's 1973 cult creeper “The Wicker Man” starring Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee and Britt Ekland. If they just chilled out with the sacrifices then I would totally join this cult. Britt Ekland would not have had to sing and slap the walls for very long at all. I'm lonely.

Corn rigs are bonny! It's Wicker Man (1973). But first: the WGA writers' strike continues, Disney/Max axe shows, Howard Ashman, Josh watched El Pico by Eloy de la Iglesia in Severin's Quinqui boxset, Drusilla did the artwork for his film, Colegas. Drusilla watched Ashes and Diamonds before the duo gets into the most iconic folk horror film, The Wicker Man! From wiki: “The Wicker Man is a 1973 British folk horror film directed by Robin Hardy and starring Edward Woodward, Britt Ekland, Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt, and Christopher Lee. The screenplay is by Anthony Shaffer, inspired by David Pinner's 1967 novel Ritual, and Paul Giovanni composed the film score.[6][7] The plot centers on the visit of a police officer, Sergeant Neil Howie, to the isolated Scottish island of Summerisle in search of a missing girl. Howie, a devout Christian, is appalled to find that the inhabitants of the island have abandoned Christianity and now practice a form of Celtic paganism.[8] Also discussed: ACAB, workers' rights, folk horror, Neil L*bute, The Wicker Tree, Lair of the White Worm, Robin Hardy, folk horror in the UK vs the US, classism, Julius Caesar, Nothing But Trouble, Catholicism, Derry Girls, The Last of Sheila, Stephen Sondheim's torture dungeon, NEXT WEEK: Orgasmo aka Paranoia (1969)Website: http://www.bloodhauspod.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/BloodhausPodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/Email: bloodhauspod@gmail.com Drusilla's art: https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/Drusilla's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hydesister/ Drusilla's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/drew_phillips/ Joshua's website: https://www.joshuaconkel.com/Joshua's Twitter: https://twitter.com/JoshuaConkel Joshua's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/Joshua's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/joshuaconkel
What better excuse for a fiery conversation than a 50th-anniversary review of The Wicker Man?This month Ian and AC go waaay Beyond Hammerland to the rocky shores of Scotland for a look at Robin Hardy's 1973 cult classic--which finds a cop (Edward Woodward) investigating the disappearance of a little girl in a remote Scottish village. He is impeded by a secretive and overtly sexual populace whose charismatic leader (Chritopher Lee) is also a businessman and a pagan cultist.In this spoilerific examination, Ian expresses his surprise and dismay at a film he's heard about for years, but which is a very different kind of horror movie than he'd expected.The guys talk about The Wicker Man's cult status, its surprising take on religious morality, and why it is the perfect example of a landmark movie whose ideas and aesthetics can only be improved upon!Correction: Christopher Lee's Lord Summerisle shows up at the 40-minute mark in the film--which is both earlier and later than Ian and Aaron claimed in the discussion.Show Links:Watch the Wicker Man trailer.Subscribe to AC's YouTube channel, which is positively dripping with fiendishly fresh content!Catch up with 2022's year-long journey, "Son of Hammerland"!And watch the series that started it all: "Hammerland"!Subscribe to, like, and comment on the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel!
It's time to keep your appointment with The Film ‘89 Podcast as Skye is joined by returning guest hosts John Arminio and Steven Saunders to celebrate the 50th anniversary of cult British horror film, The Wicker Man (1973). Director Robin Hardy's film stars Edward Woodward as Scottish police sergeant Neil Howie who ventures to the remote Scottish island of Summerisle to investigate the disappearance of a young girl. Sgt Howie's investigation turns into a cat and mouse chase that culminates in one of the most bone chilling endings in all of horror cinema. That said, the bulk of the film refuses to follow standard horror conventions and remains one of the most unique British films ever made, truly one of a kind. Featuring Britt Ekland, Ingrid Pitt, Diane Cilento and a superlative performance from screen legend Christopher Lee, Hardy's folk horror classic remains a film like no other, and one that gets the usual passionate and in-depth analysis you've come to expect from the Film ‘89 team in this definitive exploration and examination of The Wicker Man.
No, not the bees (not the bees!) - this is the original, accept no substitutes British classic where Edward Woodward travels to Summerisle in search of a missing girl and clashes with the suave and sinister Christopher Lee. And we talk folk horror, conspiracy thrillers, and the terrible misrepresentations of pagan culture as we dig into everything worth discussing about this amazing movie!
Bonus Episode: Review a DVD Featurette: The Story of The Equalizer Featuring: Keith Szarabajka, William Zabka, Coleman Luck, Robert Eisele We're between seasons now so it's a fun time to cover some different territory... but not that different. We watched a 45 minute featurette included in an Equalizer DVD set called The Story of The Equalizer. We all know the show deserves a sweeping documentary highlighting the impact of the show, how it fit into the late 80s culture, ideally with a realistic presentation of the strengths and endearing weaknesses of the show itself. This isn't quite that. This is four interviews plus clips of the show and that's about it. And even when Keith Szarabajka is containing his bitterness at being overlooked to carry the show while Edward Woodward was recovering from a heart attack, it's all a rather rose-tinted view of the show. Still there are some good stories about the show, some great stories about Robert Mitchum, and now we're even better poised to take on the final season. @equalizerspod equalizerspodcast at gmail dot com https://www.facebook.com/equalizerspodcast/

The Equalizer Season 3 Episode 15: Something Green Aired on CBS: February 10, 1988 Directed by: Luis Soto Written by : Kevin Droney Featuring: Macaulay Culkin! Almost three years before Home Alone, a seven year old Macaulay Culkin appeared in The Equalizer, his second credit. That in itself is worth the price of admission to watch this episode for free on nbc.com. You can tell he was bound for greatness. We just wish the creators of The Equalizer realized how proficient he would be at tricking his kidnappers and setting clever booby traps. Missed opportunity. This episode is also notable for stretching the possibilities of what's allowed under diplomatic immunity; the triumphant return of Mickey Kostmayer; and the final appearance of Richard Jordan as Harley Gage, initially brought in to pick up the slack after Edward Woodward's heart attack. We try to honor his departure... since the show itself did not. @equalizerspod equalizerspodcast at gmail dot com
The Equalizer Season 3 Episode 8: Shadow Play Aired on CBS: November 11, 1987 Directed by: Russ Mayberry Written by : Robert Eisele Featuring: J.T. Walsh, Richard Jordan, Gerry Bamman, Tomas Milian, Paul Calderon To paraphrase the IMDB episode description: "There's a very dense plot concerning a Congressional hearing about a Mafia-funded shadow army overthrowing dictators. And very separately in addition, McCall continues his recovery." On one hand we have J.T. Walsh, an all time great guest star, along with a full cast of regulars - Mickey, Control, Bagler, and Alice Shepard jezebelling over J.T. Walsh's heroism. All that plus multiple assassination attempts that were, like all failed assassinations, poorly executed. This is Edward Woodward's first episode back in scenes alongside the cast since his heart attack, making us wish we could retroactively petition the CBS execs to please let the man recover more before returning to work. @equalizerspod equalizerspodcast at gmail dot com
The Equalizer Season 3 Episode 7: Mission: McCall: Part 2 Aired on CBS: November 4, 1987 Directed by: Alan Metzger Story by : Ed Waters & Coleman Luck Teleplay by : Ed Waters & Scott Shepherd & Robert Eisele Featuring: Robert Mitchum, Richard Jordan, William Zabka, Boris Lee Krutonog The second in the two parter that answers the question: What will become of Robert McCall in the world of the Equalizer now that in real life Edward Woodward has suffered a heart attack? Compared to last episode, the prognosis is not so good. He's locked up in a super secret (but highly accessible) KGB fortress building (conveniently not to far from NYC), unconscious and recovering from a gunshot. Very special guest Robert Mitchum and new character Harley Gage get into crazy shenigans breaking in, talking with Russian accents, shocking themselves for some reason, seducing double agents, blowing things up, brandishing Uzis, and finally escaping with EQ on a helicopter. Once again, your humble Equalizer podcasters are the only ones out there breaking it down and considering all the ramifications in the larger Equalizer universe. @equalizerspod equalizerspodcast at gmail dot com
The Equalizer Season 3 Episode 6: Mission: McCall: Part 1 Aired on CBS: October 28, 1987 Directed by: Alan Metzger Written by : Ed Waters & Scott Shepherd Featuring: Robert Mitchum, Richard Jordan, Frances Fisher, William Zabka, Frankie Faison We knew it was coming. During the filming of season three, Edward Woodward suffered a heart attack and the show The Equalizer carried on. What we didn't know is just how they would handle it. First, they had to throw together a story fast -a KGB kidnapping with some agency scheming, check. Second, introducing a new character in the EQ universe who may carry the EQ torch in case Woodward can't continue with the show, check. Finally, some big star power (for the CBS demographic) who may not necessarily have a detectable resting heart rate. A lot of craziness, a lot of world building, quite the setup to this unexpected but necessary two parter, and our introduction to this new phase of the show. We just wish we could have sent Edward Woodward some flowers in 1987, just as his character has done more than once, awkwardly, to women in distress in the show. @equalizerspod equalizerspodcast at gmail dot com
This episode we watch the British horror classic ‘The Wicker Man' starring Christopher Lee and Edward Woodward. We travel to a Scottish Pagan Island where all is not what it seems in this creepy and surreal watch
What a weird one! Today the queers discuss the lost and found British curiosity starring Edward Woodward, 1981's The Appointment. They take a lot of detours along the way including legos vs. lincoln logs, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, UHF, Luis Bunuel, Tar, and Coal Miner's Daughter. From BFI: "Joanne, a gifted 14-year old violinist, is upset when her father, Ian, tells her he has to break their appointment and will not be able to attend her end of term concert. That night, Ian has a nightmare in which, in a remote valley, three black dogs jump on his car, making it crash. The next day this comes true and Ian is killed. Back home, the 'remote and dream-like' Joanne is seen contentedly playing with the three dogs."This is a hard one to find.

The Equalizer Season 3 Episode 5: Encounters in a Closed Room Aired on CBS: October 14, 1987 Directed by: Jim Johnston Written by : Ann Lewis Hamilton & Scott Shepherd Featuring: Michael Moriarty, Maureen Mueller, Jamey Sheridan We're still in a limbo between the epic first three episodes of season three and when the show has to radically adjust to Edward Woodward's mild heart attack and he has to step away for a stretch. We categorize this one as "KGB Light": a bittersweet romance between a Russian defector and a scientist escaping Russian custody while in the States, some parallels between the scientist's plight and how EQ felt in the agency, and my god the coats in this episode, people. Definite Americans vibes here. Guest starring Michael Moriarty (Law & Order) and Maureen Mueller who, given her resemblence this episode, would have been a star had they made a Lauren Bacall biopic in the mid 80s. @equalizerspod equalizerspodcast at gmail dot com
Denzel Washington once again collaborates with Antoine Fuqua to bring us THE EQUALIZER. A preboot-remake-aquel of the 1980's tv series, Denzel brings his usual dry wit and charisma to this tale of the OCD suffering Robert McCall who becomes embroiled in a war with Russian gangsters after intervening on behalf of Chloe Grace Moretz's child prostitute Alina. The Mark Twain quote that starts the movie invites us to superimpose some substance on McCall's violence-soaked quest for retribution but all things being equal (sorry) this is a more than familiar former black-ops operative turned vigilante white knight power fantasy. Good job it's all stylishly executed and well plotted with an effective Martin Csokas as the ex-head of Soviet Secret Police Teddy whose sadism can't hold a candle (or hand-drill) to Robert's thirst for vengeance.We love to hear from our listeners!

Pull on your respirators, load your MAC-10s and join us for Who Dares Wins (1982). An 80s British Cold War action movie starring Lewis Collins, Judy Davis, Richard Widmark and Edward Woodward. An undercover SAS officer is all that stands between a terrorist group and the murder of high-ranking hostages. Directed by Ian Sharp and produced by Euan Lloyd of Wild Geese and Sea Wolves fame, Who Dares Wins takes inspiration from the SAS' 1980 Iranian Embassy Assault and boasted at the time to be as close to the real thing as possible. While the film has arguably become a cult classic its tone shifts throughout the film ranging from Cold War thriller to Bond-like romp to all all out action movie.

The Winter of Folk Horror series begins. Part one of our celebration of folk horror, focuses on a reoccurring theme in the subgenre. People who are out their element, ultimately making poor choices, putting themselves in undesirable, usually unsafe, situations. A woman finds herself seemingly being manipulated by the eccentric inhabitants of a small village. As they seem to be guiding her toward a potential mate, she becomes suspicious that her life may actually be at risk, in Robin Redbreast (1970). Edward Woodward is a police sergeant, investigating the disappearance of a young girl on the remote island of Summerisle. However, when Christopher Lee, the island's leader, and the rest of the locals seem completely unconcerned, it becomes evident that they have something special planned for an upcoming pagan celebration, in The Wicker Man (1973). How does a movie about a pair of hitmen find a way to cross over into the world of folk horror? Hey, you'll have to listen to us discuss Kill List (2011), to find out. A group of friends honor the memory of someone they've lost, by following through on a suggested hiking trip. But when they attempt a shortcut through an unfamiliar forest, they find themselves at the mercy of unknown forces, in The Ritual (2017). And then from there, in an attempt to rescue his kidnapped sister, a man finds himself infiltrating a religious island cult, who are holding her for ransom, in Apostle (2018).
