YouTube Spotlight: Pray for the Wildcats:

We had a lot of fun with this week's podcast, and how could we not with a cast of legends like that assembled for Pray for the WildcatsYou can view our playlist for this episode on our official YouTube channel.  One of my favorite clips is this one:

The movie is written by Mark Medoff (adapted form his own play), who later won an Academy Award for Children of a Lesser God. I don't recognize a lot on director Milton Katselas' resume except Report to the Commissioner with Yaphet Kotto.

I tell you who I DO recognize: Hal Linden. Lee Grant. And Marjoe Gortner.

I suspect this spot is being a little selective with the names, though; higher billed are Marjoe's then wife Candy Clark, Stephanie Faracy, and Anne Ramsay (!).  It looks like Audra Lindley and Pat Hingle are in the cast, too.  And Peter Firth seems to be the guy who actually interacts with Marjoe in the actual movie!



Marjoe is even more wild-eyed here than he is in the dancing scene in Wildcats! Here is what IMDB has as a summary:

Marjoe Gortner plays a drug dealer whose car breaks down in a small U.S. town. In turn, the town's people become victim to his unique brand of physical and mental torture.

In another clip on YouTube, Marjoe's menacing Teddy tells Ryder to tie everyone up or he'll "cut off your pecker, if you have one."  Looks like a must-see!
