Cult-Tastic: With Roger And Julie Corman

Episode one of Roger and Julie Corman’s Cult-tastic! discusses the seven featured films that revolve around the common theme of, 'future worlds'.

In episode two, Corman focuses on films that relate to the 'criminal lives' theme including, Big Bad Mama 1 & 2 and The Lady In Red.

Episode three entails the exploration of Corman’s comedy films throughout his career. We first see A Bucket of Blood directed by Corman himself.

Episode four encompasses many of Corman’s films that were based on more realistic foundations. He first mentions High School Big Shot directed by Joel Rapp and The Final Comedown by Oscar Williams.

Episode five looks at the topic of “outsiders,” starting with Naked Angels directed by Bruce D. Clark. This film looked to Hell’s Angels for inspiration, and Corman even went to some of their parties to get information on them for the film.

Episode six was impressive, as it explored the stimulating theme of “warrior women.” First, Corman discussed The Arena directed by Joe D’Amato and Steve Carver. Pam Grier and Margaret Markov were the dynamic leads.
