For this episode, we take a look at one of the most famous films out of the Hammer Horror studio – Horror of Dracula! We decided to watch the movie because Sir Christopher Lee was in Hugo and this film is one of his breakout roles. We explore his career as well as that of Peter Cushing. For some reason, we spend a long time talking about The Hound of the Baskervilles.
Our next film is, somewhat predictably, Dracula!

Note: We apologize for the late posting of this episode. This episode, we return to the works of director Martin Scorsese to watch the film Hugo. Jena was unable to join us so we appointed stunt Jena Sean O’Laughlin to watch the film with us. Hugo is notable for being a film almost completely unlike any other film by Martin Scorsese. It starts out as a children’s movie and morphs into a love letter about film preservation. It is also visually amazing. We dissect all of this in our conversation after watching the film.
