Wrangle your mongoose, tune up the bagpipes, and pack your snakebite kit because we're heading deep into the D'Ampton countryside for some good old-fashioned worm hunting!
This week, Art and Erik are slithering their way into Ken Russell's deliriously unhinged 1988 cult classic The Lair of the White Worm, a film that somehow crams Hugh Grant, Peter Capaldi (yes, The Doctor himself), Catherine Oxenberg, Bram Stoker, pagan lore, ancient nuns, acid-trip hallucinations, and a 60-foot murder serpent into 90 glorious minutes.
Is this a forgotten fever dream? A cheeky satire of English manners? A genre mashup wrapped in WTF visions of snake deities? Or is it simply Ken Russell doing what Ken Russell does best: absolutely everything, all at once?
Either way, we're diving into every caverns, cult legends, dancing Scotsman, and Amanda Donohoe power-outfit the movie throws at us.
If you make it out of the D'Ampton caverns alive, slither on over to midnightcinemapod.com for more cult classics, deep dives, and late-night movie madness.
