Roger Corman on Letterman, September 1, 1982

[@timmyeades7908]

Roger is still kicking it at the age of 95 and an absolute legend. Roger is a proud Detroiter and the world loves him.

[@StephanieLærkeAndersen]

And still going as of October 2023 at 97!

[@alessandrocwilliam]

@@StephanieLærkeAndersen Unfortunately Mr. Corman left us this past May 9th 2024, may he rest in peace.

Roger Corman. Absolute legend, absolute class. A great asset to humanity.

[@Warp75]

Yep.

[@rogerrendzak8055]

AND, to films🎞️👍!!

[@steveflor9942]

Attack of the Crab Monster scared me sh!#less when I was a little kid. Nothing I like more nowadays than 1950's Black and SciFi "B" movies. Can't thank Roger Corman enough.

[@diddymuck]

Thanks for the lessons, the stars, the entertainment, and the memories of Saturday matinees full of screams and laughter. Roger Corman, my hero.

[@ontologicallysteve7765]

Oh, wow. What a great upload. I'm a huge fan of his Vincent Price collaborations. They hold up quite well. For such low budgets, they had a lush, otherworldly and timeless feel. They come in a close second to the Hammer Horror Films of the 50's, 60's and 70's.

[@yasisoufi]

This is priceless! Right? It happens a lot in this channel!

[@wecontrolthevideo]

A lot of UHF stations programmed a lot of hours with Roger Corman films in the 60’s and 70’s.

[@jeffrey-k5y]

I’d love to hear a conversation between Roger Corman and George Takei. Those pipes!

[@ontologicallysteve7765]

Yeah, it would have to be video footage, otherwise, it'd be pretty hard to distinguish who was speaking.

[@rogerrendzak8055]

@@ontologicallysteve7765 Roger Corman won't be saying, 'Oh my'!!

[@jackdemus7890]

Thank you! I have always loved his films.

[@dfulce]

David seems to really respect Corman. Met Roger a couple of times, he really is that laid back...long may he reign.

[@Helen-s9j]

Such a delightful, immensely creative, and knowledgeable man. Wish I had met him!

[@ventues9751]

R.I.P. Roger Corman. Dead at 98

[@ianbrewster8934]

He is a legend......love this guy

[@timmadone8930]

Concerning "The Beast With A Million Eyes", Roger told me once "I had 50 cents to make the movie & I brought it in for 25 cents". R.I.P. Roger Corman 1926-2024.

[@ArtVand22]

Very interesting piece of movie business history. I was aware of the name but never knew the details. Thanks Don!!

[@thelefthandofcreation1617]

RIP Roger. What an incredible influence on cinema.

[@Danimal77]

He's 93 today.

[@sjohnson1216]

David Letterman, Man with the X-Ray Eyes is not silly.

[@ivans.191]

Yeah. It was a great sci fi

[@tschak909]

Good god, that voice.

[@lockandloadlikehell]

This guy could do ASMR

[@GeneBurnett]

His voice sounds a lot like "Sulu" from Star Trek. ;~)

[@Jzscrstsprstr]

Letterman was a bit rude to Roger's movies. Not all of them were "silly". Roger Corman did a fantastic job with the budget he was using. Many of his films were lovely.

[@dfulce]

I disagree, I think David respected Roger, David had to make jokes every now and then to keep the audience interested.

[@Danimal77]

Dave was such an amateur back then. He seemed to so nervous and unprepared and he wasn't even listening to Roger's answers, just on to the next question, with little to know interest in the conversation.

[@tenpiloto]

Dan Maler--same as he was right to the end.

[@624radicalham]

Apollo 13 right? He's standing in the audience when Tom Hanks is giving a tour of the NASA facilities. He's the one that asks the question that since we've already been to moon, why should we go back again. I'd recognize that face anywhere and I didn't know who he was until now.

[@scottm8579]

RIP Roger. Didn't know he died this May.

[@Norvo82]

Oh Don, why do your posts always make me go "oh no!" before I frantically google if the guest is dead?

[@billslocum9819]

He did that to me last month with Buck Henry.

[@Norvo82]

@@billslocum9819 He also posted Liza Minnelli today, which made me do a double check as well. Liza is safe too, thank heavens.

[@billslocum9819]

@@Norvo82 It's like "The Poseidon Adventure" with Don, worrying about which celebrity is going to cash it in next. Sometimes you have these happy false alarms.

[@federicoTM]

His amazing artistic career and productions is really could be observed politically as ant, or alternative - hollywood project , or free cinema . A excellent ispiration for true artists that don't want be involved into ambigous rules of marketing hollywood cinema as well as Netflix commercial productions . Really free cinema !!!

[@royalsfan]

At the break, the band plays "Bernadette." I'm unclear on the connection.

[@dongiller]

No connection. It was just part of their rotation.

[@helium73]

I'd like to see a watch mojo about low budget movies shot on recycled big budget movie sets.

[@Danimal77]

Notice how the Charles Bronson movie was called "Machine Gun Kelly" who is now a famous present day While rap artist. I wonder where he got his name from? I bet no one under 30 knows the origin of his name.
