Corman filmmaking is like a good community college; the cost is very low, you get real world experience, no respect from others, and some of his best graduate onto bigger and better things.

The good news is that you will never run out of material for this series. You could make an "Exploring" video for just about all of Corman's productions. Great work as always!

I think it's cool they took the time to get to know real people and tried to tell an authentic story.

I love when Cecil’s voice slowly deepens when a tale takes a bad turn. 😂😂😂

"They wanted to the script to be as authentic as possible."

Wow, how things have changed.

Corman said, "Now you went too far in the other direction." 😆😆

[SSGTStryker]

This reminds me of the exploitation thriller Angel (1984), directed by Robert O'Neil. If I remember correctly there was a whole string of these throughout the early 80’s.

Corman needs to be awarded a lifetime achievement Oscar before his time runs out.

Man, Dale Midkiff gives a chilling vibe in the few scenes you showed in this video.
An excellent actor, sadly never got the attention he deserved.
According to imdb, this looks like his first movie role, too.

Rest In Peace, Roger Corman, The King of B-Movie Galore

Far from being embarrassed, I have seen a lot of interviews with actors and directors who praise Roger Corman for giving them their start in the business.

[NerdNonsense]

I was honestly surprised to see Melissa Leo in this as I was used to her as a world weary older actress. But she’s always been an amazing actress.

Time for a revisit, I haven't seen this movie since the late 80s. In some ways it was part of an unintended genre trilogy...starting with "Vice Squad" 1982 & ending with "Street Smart" 1988. Besides, any movie with "Catwoman, "Huggy Bear/ Fly Guy" & that guy who played the dad in the original "Pet Cemetery" 1989 is a must see!. Amazing how many young & talented individuals both in front of & behind the camera have worked with Roger Corman over the Decades. He definitely has an eye for talent & the pulse of what movie fans want to see.

[euansmith]

"Pimp Squad" sounds like a solid exploitation film title.
Working for Cormen sounds very stressful, but he got shit done. It is a shame that Hollywood is such a cesspit.

[BigBubbaloola]

Great summation of Cormans legacy. From what many have said, he did peddle sleaze but was not sleazy himself, especially compared to a huge amount of so-called legit producers.

[doorknocker]

As a longtime viewer this Is one of my favorite entries in the exploring series. You’re killing it! I Love and appreciate all the quality content you put out there. Thanks!

[coreysmilez]

Would love to see you make a 2 hour deep dive into corman. its a very interesting story that i'd like to hear more about

[hemichanga]

Please explore Maximum Overdrive one day! You've mentioned it before, I hope you do it!

[bostonrailfan]

the fact that it was a starting point rather than seen as a black mark on their resumes is a rarity for this kind of film, and Leo sees it as just that: it’s a great showing of her true talent, rather than garbage done for a paycheck

[scottmcfadyen]

You can never say enough about Roger Corman being the crash course for great talents in the industry !

Keep up the great work !
