2 Guys 5 Movies

This week, the 2 Guys 5 Movies podcast kicks off October with a horror edition of the Fresh Five where Frank picks his top five movies he's watched recently regardless of year of release or subgenre. The list includes Oz Perkins's Gretel and Hansel, Hannah Barlow's Sissy, the revenge-thriller Bull, the recent genre-upending slasher In a Violent Nature, and Damien McCarthy's much-hailed Oddity.

This week, the 2 Guys finish their journey through the career of Roger Corman who passed away earlier in 2024; this episode focuses on his famed "Poe Cycle," a series of eight adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe stories, mostly starring Vincent Price.

Corman was an American film director, producer, and screenwriter renowned for his prolific work in low-budget filmmaking. Over six decades, he directed over 50 films and produced more than 400, pioneering genres like horror, science fiction, and exploitation. Corman's early work includes cult classics such as The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) and The Pit and the Pendulum (1961). He revolutionized the industry with his ability to produce films quickly and cheaply, often launching the careers of future Hollywood icons like Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, and actors such as Jack Nicholson and Robert De Niro. Working with American International Pictures (AIP), Corman's films were both commercially successful and socially relevant, earning him the title "Pope of Pop Cinema." He received an Honorary Academy Award in 2009, and his impact on cinema continues to be celebrated through documentaries and his enduring legacy in Hollywood.
