Check out the Further Reeding archive right here.

On a brand new episode of FURTHER REEDING (the world’s finest Oliver Reed-themed podcast) you can SEE US, FEEL US, TOUCH US and HEAL US as we check out Ken Russell’s all-star film adaptation of The Who’s classic rock opera TOMMY starring Roger Daltrey, Ann-Margret, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Jack Nicholson, Tina Turner and – of course – OLIVER REED! We couldn’t cover such an epic experience by ourselves, so we’re joined by special guest Kolleen Carney Hoepfner to cover the good and bad of Russell’s overblown, over-the-top, synth-heavy monster! Our senses will never be the same!

What if you witnessed a murder but the ACTUAL murderer goes to the cops first and accused YOU of being the killer? UH OH! That’s what happens to Enzo Cerusico’s hapless Fabio Santamaria in 1973’s comically titled NO, THE CASE IS HAPPILY RESOLVED where Fabio’s attempts to not get involved in the criminal justice system lands him in a heap of trouble, while the actual murderer (a school professor played by Riccardo Cucciolla) is treated like a hero by the cops. It’s a dire look at class differences, the criminal justice system and making a lot of BAD decisions when you think someone is looking for you. At least, until a terrible, tacked-on ending (which we discuss!). CHECK IT OUT!
