POST MORTEM: Roger Corman - Part 1

[@a-dent]

Came back to this after the news broke of Mr. Corman's passing. Excellent interview. May he rest in peace.

[@mickgarris2555]

An amazing gentleman and artist. What a run!

[@SparkyMarkyMark23]

🫡😑🙏🏻👼🏻😢😪

[@AlfredoFilmGeek]

Jay and Josh are right about his voice.

[@Demiglitch]

Charming, clear and convincing.

[@paulrippcord506]

I love his over annunciation and his velvety tone. He could charm the panties off a nun.

[@johngrayatkinson1214]

Also cant say enough good things about Corman. What a humble legend.

[@JW-do2wc]

Roger Corman will always be remembered as the B movie King but he was also the guy who introduced us to new actors and directors who later on became very successful.

[@bloodrunsclear]

We need more Roger Cormans to save the industry :)

[@paulkerrigan9857]

Such a charming guy, and a pleasure to listen to. Also, the interviewer really seems to have done his research, he knows all about Corman's films and the films of Corman's influences.

[@Slightlybent]

Mick Garris is also a director, so he's got a great idea of how to get info from Roger.

[@bradfordmiller637]

Roger Corman. Good director and producer. I like his films.

[@NightOwlMovieTalk]

Roger Corman's voice is ASMR fuel.

[@THEYREHEREhorrorclub]

Thank you Roger and Mick for all your hard work in the industry

[@mickgarris2555]

Thanks to Roger, still an amazing force at 96!

[@hectorsalcido4106]

One of the truly great ones, and so likable .

[@razorbeard6970]

Roged Corman is significant in the amount of success with his business model spread out over decades, with different distributors. There have been penny pinching film producers the world over but, the sheer amount of quality talent from the top down that he worked with is staggering. Most of that talent shined through in the stuff they worked on with Corman but, not always. When you break down just how much of the output was made due to cost saving procedures like shortened shoots, settings shot for different movies at the same time, stock footage, etc. it's easy to see that format wouldn't work for everyone. I don't doubt working under that M.O. helped each filmmaker in the long run since not every production will have the money to cover mistakes, environmental issues, casting changes, re-shoots, etc.

Happy 90th Birthday Roger Corman

[@darkstarr2540]

A living legend and he is still making films.

[@RovingTroll]

ROGER CORMAN STARTED AT THE BOTTOM, NOW HE'S HERE.

[@jeffw.1854]

Watching his old early scary movies (many of them very cheesy!) you never would have thought the director was as well spoken etc as Roger is. I love his old films even the cheesy ones!

[@Activated_Complex]

I know this was posted years ago, but he looks great. Super sharp, too. Doing what you love clearly pays off, but it helps, of course, if you do it as smartly as he has done. So you can make it sustainable. Also, the fact that this soft-spoken, humble man has made over a hundred movies and found success, is a nice counterpoint to mainstream Hollywood’s ego-driven failures and rampant abuses of the real talent. Not just of the aspiring actors, but the SFX houses and other firms they partner with on deeply one-sided contractual terms. Don’t screw over your business partners, is the rule in the business world. But it’s completely lost on the big studios.

[@Fusspilzsammler1]

That voice is pure porn for my ears!

[@lachygonzalez]

Corman is God

[@fritzgeraldcormancedeno9077]

RIP Roger Corman

That what's best describes Roger Corman .When it comes to making movies. He was a rebel back in the day.

[@johngrayatkinson1214]

I think Romero (and a few others) took a cue from Cormon on hints of political satire without shoving it down peoples throats.

[@cnferguson5]

Romero didn't get that later on in his life.

[@nicolamcguinness8689]

Rest in peace terry George

[@parkerwhite8289]

Wow, Roger is an is not a was. God bless! he's still around 8/13/2022

[@Neat0_o]

Would there have even been movies without Mr corman? I don’t think so

[@Swarm509]

He seems very honest about what he does and why which is interesting. He makes movies to make money, but appears to have fun doing it anyways. Kind of like a guy who gets paid to do his hobby. I often wonder if George Lucas would of been similar if he had not hit it off with Star Wars. He is another guy who seems to be in it for the money, but does want to enjoy the process of making a movie.

[@ackamack101]

What is the book that is on the table?

[@davidlionheart2438]

I always knew Roger Corman was Liberal! YES!!! Therefore, I am in no way surprised that he has given genuine support and help to so many others.

[@CloneCarVideos]

Best of the worst anyone?

[@hellboyfry]

[@MetaleiroBarizon]

[@JoaoSilva22222]

This is James Cameron´s guru, so you better listen to him.

[@fruitypeebils]

[@SgtxAnus]
