"I have the map! I have the map! And the day after tomorrow...The world!"
-- Evil, Time Bandits
It is happening again...My amazing co-host Xan Sprouse and I are back with a new episode of Ghostwood: The Twin Peaks Podcast! This time, we pay tribute to the passing of David Warner and continue our retrospective of Twin Peaks Actors in Other Films by discussing Time Bandits, the 1981 fantasy adventure film directed by Terry Gilliam, starring David Warner as Evil, Craig Warnock as Kevin, David Rappaport as Randall, and Sean Connery as Agamemnon!
LET'S ROCK
In this episode, Xan and I discuss things like Xan having another migraine, child actor Craig Warnock acting with Sean Connery and then not doing much afterwards, Jonathan Pryce passing on the role of Evil for another film's higher fee, Terry Gilliam's "Trilogy of Imagination", David Warner having a tremendous work ethic, David Warner appearing on the RMS Titanic three times, Thomas Eckhardt on Twin Peaks, our favorite David Warner films and TV appearances, David Warner singing "Vienna" by Ultravox, the second Twin Peaks actor to appear in Time Bandits, the Time Bandits appearing in many of the same science fiction and fantasy films together, David Rappaport's tragic suicide, the classic TV series Soap, bad '80s TV movies trying to capitalize on popular sitcoms, Time Bandits being created while Terry Gilliam was working on Brazil, Ralph Richardson being cast as the Supreme Being because he was near God in the acting profession, Kevin packing a Go Bag with a Polaroid camera and supplies, Napoleon's obsession with size, John Cleese as Robin Hood, Kevin choosing King Agamemnon as his dad over his terrible parents, Kevin knocking out a giant by injecting him with sleeping potion using a fireplace bellows, the Time Bandits' impressive escape from a cage dangling over a bottomless pit, Evil being exploded into chunks of concentrated evil, the anticlimactic ending of Kevin losing both his bedroom with his stuff and his parents, Xan appearing on Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast to discuss "The Happiness Patrol", wondering what would've happened to Josie Packard and Audrey Horne if Thomas Eckhardt hadn't shown up, Xan wanting to discuss Electric Dreams in honor of Lenny Von Dohlen, and more!
