Podcasts about Pleasence

Time Ram massacres 'The Keeper of Traken', previously a Tom Baker classic, but now taking its rightful home in the William Hartnell era! We re-purpose the Pleasence, Fabio and Mr Pastry and also explore a number of spin-off shows: Cameca - Time Stalker, The Adventures of Captain Maitland and Kassia's Special Sauce. Come on Big Finish, give us a call.

We continue our month of all Halloween flicks with one of the absolute worst entries into the franchise and sadly Donald's Pleasence's last film, from 1995 

Send me a messageDonald Pleasence, who starred in "The Great Escape" was actually a WW2 Prisoner of War (POW).He later found fame as Bond villain, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, and as Dr. Loomis in the cult horror film "Halloween".Support My Channel as a Patron:Donald Pleasence served in the RAF from 1940, particpating in 60 bombing missions.Eventually his Lancaster bomber was shot down whilst on a raid to bomb a V1 rocket site in northern France.Captured, Donald Pleasence was to spend the rest of the war as a German Prisoner in a POW camp, Stalag Luft I / Stalag Luft 1.Situated on the Baltic coast of Germany, Stalag Luft I housed over 9,000 prisoners of war (POW).Whilst Royal Air Force and Royal Canadian Air Force men made up about 20% of the camp population, over 7500 men were US airmen.Included in their number were John C. Morgan (the only US airman to receive the Medal of Honor and also be a POW), flying ace Vermont Garrison, and Colonel Hubert Zemke.After the war, Donald Pleasence resumed his acting career and was to appear in 140 films over the next 50 years.Arguably, one of the greatest villains that James Bond (007) was to go up against, Pleasence played Ernst Stavro Blofeld in "You Only Live Twice".Later on he also appeared as Dr. Samuel Loomis in the cult "Halloween" film franchise.In 1963, he reprised his experience as a wartime POW when he starred in "The Great Escape".Speaking of wartime movies, he also appeared in "The Eagle Has Landed".Donald Pleasence died in France in 1995.Support the Show.

Odd as it may seem today, there was a time when sequels were considered inferior rip-offs by studios and critics alike. A desperate ploy at milking the success of likely superior original film. Rarely was a sequel directed by the film's original director (of course there are many notable exceptions such as Evil Dead 2, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Dawn of the Dead) with the filmmakers having concern that there wasn't artistic value in returning to the well or that the studio execs would see them as one and done type creatives. And yet, that didn't stop many of the genres most successful franchises from soldiering on. Jason, Freddy, Chucky, Pinhead… to name a few. All continued on with involvement from their creators at some level. One of the most resilient has been the Halloween franchise. The first sequel was written and produced by the creators of the original, John Carpenter and Debra Hill and directed by relative newcomer Rick Rosenthal. The film also saw the return of stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence and continued directly where the first film left off as Michael Myers' continued his night of terror. The film was a success and Carpenter and Hill were asked to come up with a third. So, having seemingly killed off both Myers and Loomis in the previous film, they decided to try something different and create a completely new story with new characters set on Halloween. The idea being that if this model worked, you'd have a formula for an anthology Halloween horror film you could release every couple of years.  It didn't. The fans were puzzled and pissed at the absence of beloved villain Michael Myers and the movie soon became persona non grata with fans. That would change over the years as the film, titled Halloween 3: Season of the Witch and well directed by Carpenter pal Tommy Lee Wallace and staring genre greats Tom Atkins and Dan O'Herlihy, would go on to become a fan favorite. Long live Silver Shamrock. A few years later, undeterred executive producer of the series Moustapha Akkad felt that it was time to bring Michael back. Carpenter and Hill had moved on and stepped away from the series. Who was going to bring back the Shape for another terror filled night of treat or treating? Enter Dwight Little. Having directed 3 action-adventure films prior to signing on to do Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Little didn't necessarily seem like the obvious choice. However, one thing anyone could see by looking at his first three films was a strong eye for big set pieces and a deft way with suspense. Halloween 4 also sees the return of Donald Pleasence as Doctor Loomis and Little and writer Allan B. McElroy give this genre legend more to do here than in previous films. It's a smart move and Pleasence gives a knockout performance. Halloween 4 has a strong cast all around with Danielle Harris beginning her career as a Scream Queen playing the 7-year-old Jamie Lloyd, Ellie Cornell in a relatable and strong protector roll (an underrated contribution in many ways) as Rachel Carruthers, Jamie's step-sister and great supporting cast including Beau Starr as Sheriff Ben Meeker and veteran character actor Michael Pataki as Doctor Hoffman. Dwight Little found just the right balance of the controlled and deliberate tone of Carpenter's original film and his own sensibilities as a filmmaker. Cutting down on the gore of Halloween 2 (which was really there as response to the popularity of the “Friday the 13th” films and doesn't quite fit the Halloween series) and playing up the tension, “Halloween 4” also captures the spirit of Halloween itself. The opening montage of fall imagery rooting the film firmly in the season in a way few of the many oncoming sequels would recapture. “Halloween 4” is not only the best of the Halloween sequels, it's a testament to Dwight Little's skill as a filmmaker that the film has become a traditional selection in many genre fans seasonal film playlist. Dwight has gone on to direct plenty more films and television series in the genre including the vastly underrated 1989 version of “Phantom of the Opera” starring Robert Englund (no points for guessing which role he plays), the extremely fun and well directed “Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid”, “the X-Files” and the brilliant “Millennium” (for which he did one of its best episodes, a Christmas episode featuring Darren McGavin as the father of Frank Black, series lead Lance Henriksen) and “From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series”. All of this on top of an extremely successful career as an action film director, of which he's made many greats! Dwight and Kevin talk on the high jinks of shooting a crazy movie like his early action adventure film “Bloodstone, why he approached Halloween 4 as though it were a detective movie, working with the late legend Donald Pleasence, getting around Andrew Lloyd Webber while making his version of “Phantom” and his new horror film “Natty Knocks” which has him reuniting with both Danielle Harris and Robert Englund. In 1988 he changed the face of Halloween. Tonight, he's back. Spill Your Guts is proud to present, a conversation with director Dwight Little. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Following the sad news of the recent passing of actor and stuntman George Wilbur, who portrayed Michael Myers in both HALLOWEEN 4 and HALLOWEEN 6, My Haunted Head takes a look at HALLOWEEN 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS.  The film was a return to form and gave long-suffering Halloween fans what they wanted - the continuation of the Myers/Loomis/Strode storyline.  How well does the film stand up to the previous Halloween films?  What happened to Laurie Strode?  What does TV's Bobby Brady have to do with Halloween?  All this and more in the latest episode of My Haunted Head.  Available on your favorite podcast app.  Thanks for listening - please SHARE, SUBSCRIBE and if you've got a second please post a REVIEW!

On what could absolutely, very probably, be the last ever episode of The After Movie Diner, we go out with the very suitable subject matter of a Donald Pleasence double bill - We talk The Uncanny from 1977, which has the preposterous task of making a bunch of house cats seem scary and The House of Usher from 1989 which looks like it was shot on a cheap, local, theatre stage covered in polystyrene and crap Halloween decorations. It's a fun conversation, in an actual diner (for the first time in 2 1/2 years), with our long suffering regular co-host, Jim Wallace.

Das Jahr ist noch ganz jung, aber die Namen in der ersten Episode unserer Jubiläumsjahres ganz groß. Argento. Lynch. Phenomena (1985). Lost Highway (1997). Morde. Intrigen. Schimpansen. Femmes Fatales. Insekten. Doppelgänger. Connelly. Pullman. Pleasence. Arquette… hach!

Editor's note (from the future!): The audio quality from this episode is terrible. There's no other way around it. I am choosing to leave the show up however because who knows, someone might be able to stand it. But I promise you it gets better so if you're checking us out for the first time, scoot ahead a few episodes for an improvement because over the years we've gotten way better. Thanks for tuning in, we love you -VanJoin Spencer, Brian, and Van as they wade into the grisly details of yet another crime in the Columbo universe in Season 3 Episode 2 "Any Old Port in a Storm." Be prepared for a little less murder and a lot more wine. You'll learn all about what a great villain Donald Pleasence was both in this role and others, how important it is to have steady hands in the wine-making industry, and how the Marino Brothers are no-good peddlers of 69-cent-a-gallon liquid filth!Watch "Any Old Port in Storm" for free on Tubi and on Peacock!https://tubitv.com/tv-shows/586499/s03-e02-any-old-port-in-a-storm?start=truehttps://www.peacocktv.com/watch/home/asset/tv/columbo/6941257837221375112/seasons/3/episodes/any-old-port-in-a-storm-episode-2/f09d338e-c89f-3930-8433-48d19cfeb208

The medieval philosophers were right. Man is the center of the universe.

Not since Macaulay Culkin in HOME ALONE 2 has someone so evil gotten lost in New York.    Kurt Russell stars in John Carpenter's classic 1981 action/thriller about a fake president that gets trapped in the worst place on Earth...at least until the sequel.   Donald Pleasence (Dr. Loomis from HALLOWEEN) plays the President, but Eric and Ben disagree on just how evil he's supposed to be...and why does he have a British accent?  Did this movie inspire 1997's AIR FORCE ONE? Shouldn't it actually be called Escape From Manhattan? And why did everyone in the 80s think New York would be unlivable by the late 90s? (Also: They weren't exactly wrong, were they?)   Find us on Twitter: @fake_presidents  

This week, for the last of our Donald Pleasence films, we look at the under seen British class comedy, A Dirty Knight's Work - a bizarre but thoroughly English film about a bunch of wannabe toffs taking their dress up games a little too seriously. As the movie also stars Barbara Hershey, the conversation naturally turns to Splitting Heirs and Eric idle and a decision is made by your valiant hosts that may or may not end the podcast for good!

On this truly wonderful episode, hosts Jon Cross and Jim Wallace do some flagrant self promotion, we point out why we are the doldrum killers and then we wade knee deep into the world of mad 70s Greek horror, The Devil's Men AKA Land of the Minotaur that stars Donald Pleasence and Peter Cushing.

For the third movie of our Pleasencing Season we discuss the bizarre New Zealand romp, Race for the Yankee Zephyr AKA Treasure of the Yankee Zephyr, which is full of mad hats, weird stunts, silly accents and bonkers plot decisions where a drunken Donald Pleasence goes head to head with an outrageously camp George Peppard.

It's a pleasant DONALD PLEASENCE double-feature with JOHN CARPENTER's PRINCE OF DARKNESS (1987) and EDGAR WRIGHT's favorite video nasty DEATH LINE (1972), also known as RAW MEAT!

For our second dip into the pool of the Pleasence, as it's the season, we talk Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers!

Happy Halloween, ghoulfriends! We've talked about the Halloween films as a whole in the past, but this time, we're giving the often maligned Jamie Lloyd/Cult of Thorn trilogy another watch! We dive into everything from that amazing Part 4 opening, to Pleasence's straight up INSANE Loomis performance in Part 5, to what the hell exactly IS going on during the finale of Part 6. And yes, we talk Tina. Lots and lots of Tina. You're welcome. We also chat about some of the sequels that almost were! 

Starting an unofficial series of The Pleasence, to celebrate the release of Miscellaneous Plumbing Fixtures new sequel album: The Pleasencing Two! The Pull of the Pleasence (avail. now on Spotify, Bandcamp etc.) Jim Wallace and Jon Cross talk Donald Pleasence and the 1972 horror, Raw Meat aka Death Line.

Gear up for an eerily pleasant listen as we tackle the career of horror heavyweight Donald Pleasence. In our first of three podcasts on horror icons we examine Pleasence's first forays into horror with an episode of The Twilight Zone and the janky UK anthology film Tales That Witness Madness. Best known as Dr Samuel Loomis - a role he'd play four more times - in John Carpenter's Halloween, Pleasence would work with Carpenter twice more in Escape From New York and Prince of Darkness. Along with Carpenter, Pleasence would collaborate with another icon of 70s and 80s horror in Dario Argento's bizarro sci-fi/giallo slasher Phenomena alongside a chimpanzee and a teenage Jennifer Connolly. Although Pleasence has an unbelievable 238 credits to his name it would be a 90 second Public Service Announcement in 1973 that would cement his reputation as a horror icon especially among children. The Spirit of Dark and Lonely Water advised children against playing near dangerous water with Pleasence voicing the titular spirit. It is still spoken of today in hushed tones, half-remembered in nightmares and on cold, misty days the wind seems to whisper the refrain "I'll be back, back, back..."  Andrew Twitter: @Andrew_Carroll0 Stephen Twitter: @StephenPorzio Editor and Community Manager: Charline Fernandez Instagram: @charline_frnndz I Know That Face Twitter: @IKnowThatFaceP1 / Instagram: @iknowthatface Intro and Outro Music: No Boundaries (motorik groove) by Keshco.

In this very special episode, Chris tells Adam all about going to see MST3K Live! The Great Cheesy Movie Circus Tour. Spoilers abound, so if you are hoping to see the live shows (which you should!) you might want to save this one for later? But you’ll still get to hear them talk about Circus of Horrors (in which some Pleasence is better than none) and everyone’s favourite movie about a kid who’s good at karate, No Retreat, No Surrender!

On a cold, dark rainy night and having watched John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness at the IFC Center in the West Village in New York, Pinnland Empire's own Marcus Pinn and Diner host, Jon Cross retire to the Washington Diner to discuss the film, the themes, the music, the cast, the Donald Pleasence, the Victor Wong, eat burgers and pick our desert island Carpenter films.

Jim reflects on the first feature film adaptation of George Orwell's classic novel, "1984," starring Edmund O'Brien, Jan Sterling, Michael Redgrave and Donald Pleasence. In the near future following a devastating nuclear war, a totalitarian state, overseen by a mysterious figure known only as "Big Brother," has arisen. Winston Smith, a lowly clerk commits high treason when he falls in love.This 1956 gem presents a powerful commentary on the value of freedoms taken for granted. It's all ahead on this week's episode of "Monster Attack!"

Movie Meltdown - Episode 460 This week we sit down for an extended discussion of David Gordon Green's Halloween. The latest in the series is sort of an attempt to be both a sequel and a reboot... but does it end up being successful at either?   And while we try to decide if we ourselves are suffering from PTSD from watching so many horror movies over the years, we also address… Tales from the Hood 2, survivor guilt, Fright, Judy Greer, new Loomis, Rob Zombie, comments from the audience, creepy mental asylum, what was great about the one woman that he killed that had the baby, becoming urban legend, missteps and poor choices, Black Christmas, the post-credits monster we’ve created, Snoop Dogg, amazingly well choreographed, it's like breathing for the rest of us, Donald Pleasence, it's not for the development of the characters it's for the development of the screenplay, John Carpenter, Andi Matichak, little kids watching horror movies, Jamie Lee Curtis, a killing machine, Trick ‘r Treat, well-funded podcasts, the Scream rules, P.J. Soles, this is just become way more interesting movies that could have happened - and didn't, it makes sense that she would be broken, Terminator 2, old ladies with short hair, we need this guy in that mask to go stab at her, VHS, a story based on more of the mythology and the legacy more so than trying to create a direct continuation of the story, the cult and green goo comes out of his eyes. Spoiler Alert: Full spoilers for the new “Halloween” from David Gordon Green and probably a few from Carpenter’s original movie… so just go watch both of them before you listen. “There's so much potential every twenty minutes in this movie.”
