TALES FROM THE TRENCHES 2019 EPISODE 4 REAL WORLD (SHOUT TV)

I found this episode to be the least interesting one so far, and that is strictly due to the subject matter.

This show looks at several of the films that Corman produced. He talks about the classic JD film "High School Bigshot" that stars John Ashley and then about a lot of films I have never seen simply because I have no interest.

"The Final Comedown", "Cockfighter", "Saint Jack", "Suburbia", "Love Letters" and "I Never Promised You A Rose Garden" are the rest of the movies discussed, and I do enjoy listening to Roger talk about any movie, but none of these really peaked my interest.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying these are bad films by any means. It's interesting to discover how Corman got these films made and distributed especially since none of them were really big budgeted films.

All of the films made money, but some were not as successful as had been hoped for. Not that interesting to me, but still part of an excellent series that looks at one of the, if not THE most influential man to ever work in the film business.
