Robert LambHOST

Robert LambHOST
Let's see, 69's The Oblong Box, 76's Satan's Slave, and 79's The Quatermass Conclusion.
Robert LambHOST
Here she plays the conflicted wife to a devoted con man, arguably not as conflicted as she could have been at certain times.
Robert LambHOST
But I would say that she's great in this.
Dan ColónHOST
At this point, I feel like every actor we ever talk about has done The Saint and The Avengers and Doctor Who.

GregHOST
I feel like Wes Anderson is in this weird place where obviously everybody loves him, but he's just really not receiving the sort of you know what i mean a claim that he kind of should be it's like these movies come out and like most people i know that saw finishing scheme or like it's fucking great maybe one of his best right and then did it get nominated for anything i think it was just kind of totally i

GregHOST
A film called Quatermass and the Pit.
GregHOST
Is it the sequel to the...
GregHOST
It's one of the sequels.
GregHOST
It's not the Quatermass 2, but it's the third one.
KarenHOST
Why are you skipping to the third one?
GregHOST
Because, Karen, Quatermass and the Pit came out on November 9th, 1967, which is just a few short days from when the episode goes live.
GregHOST
Okay.
David McGillivrayGUEST
I remember pleading with my parents to let me watch horror.
David McGillivrayGUEST
the Quatermass serial I would have been about 10 or 11 and they wouldn't allow it but Quatermass and the Pit which I saw in 1960 was a formative experience I thought it was such a brilliant story by Nigel Neill and much later on I have met all my idols and I met Nigel Neill and I told him I think you're the greatest horror writer in this country.
David McGillivrayGUEST
And it was a great pleasure for me to be able to tell him that because I thought he was so talented.
Christabel Heasman-CossinsHOST
What did you like about his work?
Mark RaineyGUEST
But for six bucks a month, there's no commercials.
Mark RaineyGUEST
They have really great transfers and they have Quatermass and The Pit.
Mark RaineyGUEST
They have things like Island of Terror and anything from the 50s through the 80s.
Matt CarpenterPANELIST
That movie actually, to me, that's cosmic horror.
CalebHOST
And then the following year, they would do another one with the same actor playing Quatermass, Brian Donlevy.
CalebHOST
And then in the 60s, they would make the color one that you mentioned, Quatermass and the Pit, which was kind of like a reboot, but
SeanHOST
still a third adaptation.
SeanHOST
I watched this on Tubi, which by the way, if I had known, I would have bought this movie.
Tom GrantHOST
All right.
Tom GrantHOST
So getting started here, before we get into the topic of today's episode, five million years to Earth, otherwise known as Quatermass and the pit, what geeky things have you been doing lately?
Steven TaylorHOST
Well, apart from having a hard time saying Nazi hoaxes, which is harder to say than you might think that it is.
Steven TaylorHOST
Nazi hoaxes,
8 MINS LATER
Tom GrantHOST
Back in the 1950s, the Quatermass series started.
Tom GrantHOST
These were limited series, mini-series basically.
Tom GrantHOST
that would – like for Quatermass and The Pit, it was six episodes.
Steven TaylorHOST
Right.
Matt BarberHOST
When he said to Terence Dick, you've only got two types of stories, and then he goes and finds the third one.
Matt BarberHOST
Although it is kind of Quatermass and the Pit influenced.
Matt BarberHOST
It is
Jon ArnoldHOST
slightly Quatermass and the Pit, but the main bulk, the main drive of the story, the actual reptiles, that's pretty original.
Jon ArnoldHOST
Because it's not...
Jon ArnoldHOST
I can't think of...
Jon ArnoldHOST
I mean, it draws on Mole Man, it draws on Planet of the Apes, it draws on Quatermass and the Pit.
Jon ArnoldHOST
but it manages to get the originality.
