Your Oliver Reed-loving pals are BACK on a brand new episode of FURTHER REEDING and we’re checking out the filmed-in-Denmark 1972 science fiction oddity Z.P.G., where Reed and Geraldine Chaplin play a couple in a dystopian near-future where childbirth has been outlawed. Instead people cling onto weird child-like automatons while slowing losing their minds and eating steak-flavored paste. That’s good eating! When Chaplin’s Carol decides she wants to have a baby anyway things get.. pretty goofy, especially when the neighbors discover the couple’s not-very-well-hidden secret. It’s strange! Check it out!

On this swashbuckling episode of FURTHER REEDING we’re diving into Richard Lester’s incredibly entertaining 1973 action comedy THE THREE MUSKETEERS, starring Michael York, Frank Finlay, Richard Chamberlain, Raquel Welch, Christopher Lee, Charlton Heston and – of course – Oliver Reed as Athos. Playing a character who is a heavy drinker and fighter might not have been a stretch for Reed, but he still got up to plenty of trouble on-set and we go through some of the more memorable stories and incidents that occurred during filming. We also chat about sword-fighting, blunderbusses, the origins of the term “musketeer” and so much more. CHECK IT OUT!
