Great discussion here between Tyler and @paulwhitelaw.bsky.social about one of Peter Sellers’ best films, which everyone seems to have watched on Channel 4 in 1992. I was studying in Swansea then and can confirm that chatty taxi drivers were still talking about the shoot to anyone who would listen.
Goon PodONLY TWO CAN PLAY (1962) With Paul Whitelaw @paulwhitelaw.bsky.social pod.link/1569929507 The film where Peter Sellers said his co-star couldn't act for toffee. She proved him right by winning a Bafta. He also sold his shares in the film right before it went on and made major coin. Oh, PETER!
Listening to Wake The World: The Friends Sessions for the first time in maybe five years. One problem with there being so much great music in the world is that you can't listen to all of it all the time. I'd forgotten how great some of these outtakes and alternative mixes are.
