Simon Pegg – Film Icons, Formative Horror & Binton Blues
Listen now
Description
Pop culture hero to many, Simon Pegg reveals his music and film heroes, starting with The Clangers, that lesser-known gateway drug to Star Wars. From growing up in a music shop, to working with Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg and emailing Dave Grohl about horror comedy, Simon’s fantasy festival offers so many treats! On screen he may be enabling death-defying stunts in Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One, but off screen it’s all about sharing a love of horror films with his daughter, and pinch-me moments like being asked by Paul Simon for feedback on his latest album.
