Episode 43: Roger Corman Retrospective
Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon | Goodpods
Bring Me the Axe! is a comedy podcast celebrating the best (and worst) horror from a time when the video store ruled the night. Every other week, brothers Bryan and Dave White (and the occasional guest) heed the call of nostalgia and evaluate the classic 70s and 80s horror movies they loved in their childhood to determine whether the movies are still relevant today or should be allowed to fade into obscurity.
This Week, Bryan and Dave put the brakes on to talk about Roger Corman, one of the most important filmmakers in the history of pop cinema and the genres, most notably horror and science fiction. He died at age 98 on May 9, 2024 and left behind a legacy of nearly 500 films which bear his name in one way or another. Bring Me The Axe picks 4 movies of Corman's that are formative horror movie experiences and enduring favorites. Hear all about A Bucket of Blood, House of Usher, The Raven, and Death Race 2000 and the outsized influence Corman had on the larger industry in filmmaking.
