The Lair of the White Worm

About this episode

Hugh Grant, Amanda Donohoe, and Peter Capaldi star in Ken Russell's nutso 1988 horror cult classic The Lair of the White Worm. Paul, June, and Jason discuss the plane sex dream sequence, if Lady Sylvia Marsh lives in the snake basket, all the phallic imagery, the rules of the white worm's followers, Amanda Donohoe's amazing performance and costumes, if the butler was weird or just British, and so much more.
