David Hemingson

The Spark Parade

Take a guess how many times The Holdovers writer David Hemingson has seen the British cult classic film Withnail and I. Maybe 10? Perhaps 20? Try upwards of 40. On this episode of The Spark Parade Hemmingson explains what it about the film that keeps him coming back. Listen above, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hemingson gushes about everything from the sharp dialogue to the charismatic performances (including the incandescent Richard E. Grant in his debut role) to the bleak setting. He even keeps a copy of its screenplay on his desk at all times -- a reminder of how much of an impact it's had on his work (look out for references in The Holdovers).

Listen to The Holdovers writer David Hemingson talk about Withnail and I above, or on your preferred podcast provider, and make sure to follow and review to support the show. You can also keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.
