Last week, Shout Factory TV debuted their new 13-part series “Cult-Tastic: Tales From The Trenches With Roger And Julie Corman.” Created, written and co-produced by Ashley Sidaway and Robert Sidaway the series takes a deep dive into the life and work of Roger and Julie Corman and features extensive in-depth interviews and insider stories from some of the most memorable Corman films.
In the series, the Cormans draw upon their vast filmography and footage from over 130 films spanning seven decades. Within each episode, the legendary filmmakers share insightful stories and defining moments from their movies, recall talent and young filmmakers they fostered, as well as provide behind-the-scenes perspectives on how they produced some of the smallest budget films that went on to achieve box-office gold.
Known for their acute ability to recognize young talent, the Cormans’ lasting legacy will undoubtedly be the legion of producers, directors, writers, and actors they have cultivated. Throughout the series, Roger and Julie recount working with iconic industry talent including Jack Nicholson, Bryan Cranston, Ron Howard, James Cameron, William Shatner, Martin Sheen, Joe Dante, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tommy Lee Jones, Angie Dickenson, Francis Coppola, Will Ferrell, Sandra Bullock, among many others.
The Cormans’ producer credits include films like Sharktopus, Chopping Mall, Saturday the 14th, The Little Shop of Horrors, The Pit and the Pendulum, and A Bucket of Blood.
“Cult-Tastic” is now available on Shout! Factory TV’s Amazon Prime Video Channel and Roku Channel.
