Our Corman Graduates series on exploitation filmmaker Jack Hill continues as we move on from Jack's American International Pictures days of COFFY and FOXY BROWN and move on to the next phase of his career, which gets a little help from Corman's New World Pictures staff, as he moves on to 1974's THE SWINGING CHEERLEADERS and 1975's SWITCHBLADE SISTERS.   

Joining us to discuss the worlds of undercover college journalism and female gangs is none of than author and film historian Nathaniel Thompson of Mondo-Digital.com!   Nathaniel shares his love of Jack Hill with us, including stories about seeing his films in theaters, his theories on Jack Hill's career, and whether SWITCHBLADE SISTERS was indeed adapted from Shakespeare's Othello. 

Why did Jack leave AIP? How did these two movies come about? Is THE SWINGING CHEERLEADERS a comedy? How did New World have a part (if any) in these movies? We do our best to answer these questions and celebrate the exploitation madness that is Jack Hill.
