#12: The Prisoner (1967) - TV Series


Listen Later

This week Dave and Ashley wander into a brave new world: cult TV. First up is Dave’s pick, psychedelic/spy/sci-fi classic THE PRISONER (1967-1968). This genre-defying series about a kidnapped former spy (Patrick McGoohan), who awakens in a seemingly idyllic coastal enclave called The Village, has Ashley looking for information, information, information. Dave counters with “that would be telling,” while attempting to explain what makes this bewildering series a cult phenomenon. To give Ashley a taste of the show, we watch and discuss 2 episodes: “ARRIVAL” and "FREE FOR ALL.” All this, plus our first email from a fan of The Prisoner who literally could not wait for this episode to drop.
