Gimme Three - A Series For Cinephiles
18 - Roger Corman Tribute
Earlier this month, we lost one of the most significant figures in the history of the film industry, Roger Corman.
Corman's illustrious career can't be narrowed down to three films, so we opted to pick three of his directorial films that helped shape American pop culture.
We start with his 1960 gem Little Shop Of Horrors, the gold standard for independent filmmaking and the movie that sparked a decades-long running Broadway play and a very successful musical adaptation.
Corman's passion project, The Intruder, highlights the filmmaker's deeper side as an artist. The raw and horrific film stands out against most of his directorial and production work.
Lastly, we take a trip to the late 1960s with The Trip - a film about… well, tripping. Tripping balls, in fact! LSD!
Join us as Nick and Bella discuss Corman's brilliant work and wildly entertaining stories about the making of these films.
