But to speak to some of my favorite things in the movie, you mentioned Paul L. Smith, but him and Brian James, the hitmen, are the late, great,
Scott WeinbergHOST
11:56
brusque, Tough-looking, funny character actor.
Scott WeinbergHOST
11:59
Everybody remembers him from his great moments in Blade Runner.
Scott WeinbergHOST
12:02
But you know Brian James from countless things, and he's no longer with us.
Scott WeinbergHOST
12:06
He's missed.
Scott WeinbergHOST
12:07
And Paul L. Smith, I believe, is also.
Scott WeinbergHOST
12:47
Yeah, that must be great.
ChrisHOST
16:22
I was like, "Oh, I'm sure I know that name." But then when you see people on screen, you're like, "Oh, I've seen-"

Wayne KramerHOST
32:29
And Brian James, who plays Kehoe, the cop in 48 Hours.
Wayne KramerHOST
32:34
And talk about a guy who had an iconic career playing sort of bad guys, including Blade Runner, right?
Barry GermanskyHOST
32:42
Which was released the same year.
Wayne KramerHOST
32:44
He plays one of those Cajun killers out in the swamps.
Barry GermanskyHOST
32:48
That's right.
Wayne KramerHOST
32:48
Brian James, when we talk about Another 48 Hours, I'm sorry for people who maybe haven't seen it, but we're giving spoilers in the show because the conceders, you have seen these movies.
Wayne KramerHOST

But Brian James is a cop in 48 Hours, actually an ally of Nick Nolte's Jack Cates.

In June nineteen seventy-six, the London scene was just getting its first punk pulse.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
1:33
The Damned formed with vocalist Dave Vanian, guitarist Brian James, drummer Rat Scabies, and a young bassist named Sensible.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
1:43
Brian James was quick to point out that a good band needs an image that breaks from hippie softness.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
1:50
Short hair, all black, and he nudged Sensible to trade in the bass for a guitar.

1:56
So that's how our lineup really stuck together.

Banion's theatrical stage presence, complete with a tattered cape, crimson lips, and the uncanny charisma of an immortal vampire, was immediately recognizable.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
1:54
And his vocals layered over Brian James' jagged guitar lines, and Rat Scabey's relentless drumming established a new template where vocal power was matched by visual drama.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
2:08
setting him apart from contemporaries like the Sex Pistols, whose emphasis remained largely on attitude rather than performance.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
2:17
Yet beyond the shock factor, Vanian's choice to embody a mythic nocturnal figure signaled a latent cultural hunger for darker narratives, and it prefigured the burgeoning gothic subculture that would absorb punk's feral energy into a more somber, cinematic aesthetic.
BijanHOST
28:01
And of course, we started out that set with the legendary Stiv Baderz with It's Cold Outside.
BijanHOST
28:05
Just a note on Stiv, he went on to co-found the band Lords of the New Church with Brian James of The Damned.
BijanHOST
28:11
That band had a cameo in the 1988 film Tape Heads.
BijanHOST
28:15
The whole film is just hysterical.
JeffHOST
37:49

JeffHOST
37:52
Brian James, the late great character actor Brian James.
JeffHOST
37:55
I used to love seeing him pop up and stuff.
JeffHOST
37:57
I really miss him.
JeremyHOST
40:29
That's, you know, it is the horror tool.
JeremyHOST
40:32
So I love this episode.
JeremyHOST
40:35
I think throughout the whole thing really does hinge on the fact that the the like log camp manager's wife has to be hot enough to make the story work and and she is in this so it does land um the whole thing comes together beautifully at the end and it's just it's a fun episode from start to finish and everybody sells it well um what's his name uh uh steve that brian james plays steve right the controlling like
JeffHOST
