Kingdom of the Spiders
« on: December 04, 2008, 02:42:01 PM »
Tom, I'm listening to the 10.7.03 episode, and Chris mentioned Kingdom of the Spiders (gonna go out on a limb and say that it's quite possibly the best 70's movie about tarantulas overrunning a small country town that starred William Shatner ever made), and I was wondering if you ever got around to watching it. It's been a family favorite for years ever since my mom and I caught it on TV late one night about 20 years ago (god, I'm getting old). If not, you should definitely check it out, because it's great, in a horrible/ridiculous way.

I have not seen it.

I did just watch Frost/Nixon though. Is that close?

I thought Frost/Nixon was a shot for shot remake!

It's pretty close, but if I recall correctly, Frost/Nixon doesn't have William Shatner portraying a cowboy vetrinarian, which is a pretty big oversight. Not even in one scene-- seriously, how hard would it have been to write that in?
