It’s still spooky month, so we watched The Lair of the White Worm (1988), an unhinged Bram Stoker adaptation about a sexy immortal snake woman sacrificing virgins to a larger and more phallic snake, and an intrepid “Scotch” archaeologist who saves the day with a snakecharming bagpipe song and magic sporran. Excuse me: “Scots”. As usual we talk a little about archaeology, a lot about cryptids, and after five years still struggle to figure out this whole Zoom thing.
