I believe the finest films being done today are done by the original innovative filmmakers

who have the courage to take a chance and to gamble.

So I say to you, keep gambling, keep taking chances.

Hi, this is Dick Miller.

You're listening to Junk-Food Cinema.

Who are these guys?

This is a sad day at junk food cinema. One that I have honestly dreaded since we started junk food cinema.

We are now officially the tiny village that has lost its patron saint.

This is a monumental sad occasion for junk food cinema.

Incredibly sad. You know, this is one of sad occasion for junk food cinema incredibly sad um you know this is one of those you know you say we've been worried but that's because it's been quite some time the man has

lived on earth uh but uh it is um it was time and uh he has crossed the rainbow bridge without us i mean it's hard

to i mean we're not going to sit here and tell you that roger corman was taken too soon the man had an

incredible life incredible longevity but the importance of this of this man to not only this podcast, but to the movies

that we love. And I use we very royally here. I'm not just talking about myself in Cargill,

but I would venture many, many, many, many of you listening to this have a special place in

your heart for Roger Corman, who passed away last weekend. And this to me represents a huge, the end of a major era in filmmaking and the end of

having that bridge to a previous era of filmmaking.

Like everything that we're seeing now and how it was shaped and the way the movies

that we love are created and produced

so much of that comes from this man and losing him feels like closing the book on a very

classic era of Hollywood yeah yeah um it was really interesting uh i got to see one of his last public interviews.

He did the Joe Bob Chamboree last October.
