Christopher Lee

Especially if Jordan James is in there as well.

One request, please, Sir Christopher.

When defending set pieces, can we please, please, please leave at least one player up the pitch as an outlet and make them leave a couple of defenders back? Rommel, Donovan, anybody higher up the pitch to break and stretch the play? It'd be nice, wouldn't it? It says 4-2.

Statistically, though, statistically, it's better to leave nobody up front.

So tonight, we're finally showing up at the party with 1968's The Devil Rides Out.

Christopher Lee is here, the candles are lit, there's a goat out back, and I'm beginning to suspect I've fundamentally misunderstood [laughs] what kind of party this is.

And I have to say, Hammer is an absolutely a horror institution.

Beginning in the '50s, Hammer helped bring gothic horror roaring back to life at a time when the classic monsters had largely faded from their original glory days.

They took Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy, and the rest of that old gothic tradition and gave it vivid color, blood, sexuality, atmosphere, and a distinctly British personality, and introduced those monsters to an entirely new generation.

And along the way, names like Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Terence Fisher became practically inseparable from Hammer Horror.

And the studio didn't invent gothic horror, but it for sure helped make it fashionable.

And while this may be our first Hammer film, Terence Fisher isn't actually a stranger to the Obelisk.

Yeah, like,

okay, Christopher Lee, that's like...

Like, you're sitting up against Christopher Lee.

He's not going to love the greatest.

I

think if you drop Christopher Lee or... oh fuck one of my favorite actors and now like blanking on a name i'm gonna jump off the balcony right patrick stewart ian mckellen uh close ian mckellen ian mckellen if you put ian mckellen or christopher lee in a movie they're gonna perform they're gonna do well like ian mckellen had a breakdown in the hobbit and they're not good movies uh because he was acting next to a green screen he's still the best actor in those films like that that's just that's just how it's gonna be but i really want to see hayden christensen jump into a new style of roles if he wants to i

love now that he's a little older inspired today i love it

that's my big one that's yeah it did make my brain swing for the fences and i kept mine from you as a part of this and this is maybe maybe too far gone maybe but i would love to see a 60 year old andrew garfield in that role

Chapter Two We bring you delightful chaos.

Jesters, you have fallen... through the luggage, the multi-footed, betoothed, betonged trunk that Guy has befriended and has been causing all manner of shenanigans and hijinks for you, into the Discworld, one of the places that Gandalf's moths reached asking for assistance that Sir Christopher Lee told you was critical to your quest.

As you will recall, unlike the vanilla Lord of the Rings narrative, uh, George Sauron Martin has read the books and thus has already acquired the army of the dead, which apparently is quite important.

Of course, none of you would know why, because none of you have read or seen Lord of the Rings because you're distracted by the ever present game of Thrones franchise, or of course weirdies.

Thank

you, Adam.

Always, always, always, uh, In any case, you've been tasked with recruiting death from the Discworld, apparently a character of some note from those stories, to assist you in dealing with the Ghost Army, which Sir Christopher Lee has assured you is a problem you cannot handle on your own.

And so it is you find yourselves in the Unseen University in Ankh-Morpork, one of the more important cities in the Discworld.

So we're behind in effect.

I think the Christopher Lee team's doing quite well.

He's got good ministers under him.

However, they're playing a real straight bat, being very careful not to take out too many public servants.

So all these things kind of blew up around the same time.

created this weird like we look back on it and can see like how i don't want to say awful because like look at the blood in these movies yeah it's like watching like a hammer horror film yeah like christopher lee is dracula and peter cushing is van helsing in the early 60s they're like what the but this is because it's a soap opera they add romance

yeah

and you know it's uh

Yeah, so Michael Gough was, he was coming up, a young actor in the sort of heyday of Hammer and Amicus in the UK.

So Hammer films, Amicus films, two pillars of sort of victorian style castle mystery horror movies kind of thing yeah and he is the star i i wanted to pick a movie where he was the star because he appears in a lot of these movies but he's also often like the real stars are like peter cushing and christopher lee you know okay um and thankfully he's the star of um part of the black museum

cool

so that's good yeah
