TALES FROM THE TRENCHES 2019 EPISODE 7 MAD SCIENTISTS (SHOUT TV)

This episode went in a direction that was totally unexpected as far as movie discussion goes anyway.

This episode stars out by showing clips from "The Wasp Woman" which Corman directed in 1959, but they never do really talk about the film itself. "Forbidden World" is the next topic of discussion and it's very interesting to find out how this project came into being and how it got made. I really do love that film, and haven't seen it in a few years.

Corman also discusses "Screamers" and how it was prepped for release in the US with it's outrageous claims on the movie posters and then he moves onto "Brain Dead" and "The Unborn" two very odd but fun films that he produced.

"Watchers 2" is a film Corman liked a lot but he does talk about some of the production problems that the film had. The episode also talks about a film I have never seen entitled "Attack Of The 50' Cheerleader" and again Corman talks about the casting and how he really didn't have too much to do with the film other than produce it.

The final two films talked about are "Piranha" which is of course, the 1978 Joe Dante directed classic which turned out to be one of New World Pictures biggest films ever and Pirahna from 1995, which wasn't a bad film, but no where as entertaining as the original, of course.

All in all a very entertaining episode, but they talked about a slew of different movies than I thought they were going to.
