Sophia and Michael are on the A Degree Absolute! podcast talking about their love of The Prisoner and their band, Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling

I (Chris) have long suspected The Prisoner is a show with a particular appeal to creative people, and I love to be proven right.

Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling is a Prisoner-inspired punk duo comprised of filmmakers/musicians/writers/creators/etc. Sophia Cacciola and Michael J. Epstein. When we saw their video for "Arrival" — a meticulous, two-years-in-the making recreation of The Prisoner's opening title sequence — we knew we had to meet them. From this wildly ambitious and improbably successful short film, they graduated to making features, as they tell us in a conversation that reaches far beyond The Prisoner to address the joys and the confines of fandom. Plus, I learned a new word.
