Revisitations #4: Martin (1977) (or: Educating Ian)

It’s April Fool’s Day, so perhaps it’s appropriate to admit our own foolishness in failing to put out our March episode actually in the month of March.  Here it is instead, and you’ll get a proper April episode in due course…

David Edwards, former film critic of the Daily Mirror and old mate of Ian’s, is a great fan of and expert on George A Romero’s unique 1977 vampire movie, Martin.  He joins Ian (who is watching the film in its entirety for the first time) and Dan (who is rediscovering it after seeing the film when he was in his teens) to discuss this powerful movie in both spoiler-free and spoiler-detailed fashion.  They also discuss the prospect of the recently-discovered extended version of the film.

Kirsty and Stella sadly couldn’t be involved in this episode, but they’ll be back!
