Comic reveals unlikely obsession

Stewart Lee has confessed to an unusual obsession
addiction: Spaghetti Western movies
Speaking to DJ Jonny Trunk on the Spotify Digs podcast,
the comedians says his love started with teenage TV viewings, and has gone on
to encompass midnight Parisian screenings and a voracious post-gig appetite for
the genre.
He said: ‘I’m normally awake between about midnight and
two in the morning, because of being awake from gigs, and the last two and a
half years, I’ve watched about 150 of them [Spaghetti Westerns].
‘I couldn’t tell you how fascinating it is because the
quality wildly varies, there are only really three plots, there only appear to
be about four locations, and it’s about thirty actors.’
The discussion is based around Lee’s Spotify playlist
which includes music by well-known composers such as Ennio Morricone as well as
music from films like Sabata and Johnny Hamlet.
