So, Tyler and I were having a discussion about Paul McGann and how much we loved him in the Doctor Who feature film. While I was on the phone with him, I took a quick peek at McGann's IMDB page, hoping to find something we might have heard of, or that we would be able to find on Netflix.
And then we found this.
The funny part? We've seen this one before. Lesbian Vampire Killers was easily one of our favorite films of 2009, a horror comedy on par with Slither and Shaun of the Dead in terms of high-budget hilarity. Did you spot him?
How about now? (skip to about 1:30, or for a longer scene featuring McGann, jump to about the 7 minute mark)
That's right, he's the fabulously deadpan Vicar. And disturbingly enough, doesn't look any older than he did in 1996 as the Doctor.
Now, the movie is absolutely worth watching even without him. The stylish editing and cinematography could make it fascinating to watch paint dry, but the humor (which varies from disgusting and slapstick to deadpan wit) remains consistently entertaining from start to finish, even if the female leads are some of the worst actresses to ever deliver dialogue onscreen outside of a porn.
But if we needed any confirmation that McGann was the coolest Doctor, we've certainly got it now.
