Looks Unfamiliar: Adam S. Leslie – Full Richard Harris Intensity

Return Of The Jedi Read-Along Book And Tape (Rainbow, 1983) - listen to Adam S. Leslie and Tim Worthington talking about it in Looks Unfamiliar.

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to.

Joining Tim this time is novelist and screenwriter Adam S. Leslie, who’s marching in step with his hazy recollections of Full Metal Jacket (I Wanna Be Your Drill Instructor) by Abigail Mead and Nigel Goulding, the Return Of The Jedi Read-Along Book And Tape, comedy juggler Michael Davies, Piece Of Cake, Juggernaut and Richard O’Brien’s Mystery Train. Along the way we’ll be refusing to listen to The Last Temptation Of Christ Rap by Willem Dafoe, declining to engage with Militant Hoojib Deniers, avoiding paying any heed to Andrew Collins’ Disaster Movie Unrecommendations and trying our hardest not to think about Richard Herring’s imaginary middle of the night television schedules.
