Remembering Roger Corman, whose death at 98 years old was announced over the weekend. Pictured here with Vincent Price on the set of The Fall of the House of Usher, Corman would frequently employ actors with marquee names whose heyday may have been behind them to add star power without breaking the bank. Corman also gave many young filmmakers their start, including Peter Bogdanovich with his first film, Targets, which features Boris Karloff at his late-career best. The final episode of our 2017 series "Bela & Boris" covers Karloff 's later years and his collaborations with Roger Corman, with a particular focus on Targets. Rest in peace, Roger.

Listen to this episode on Apple Podcasts . Where Bela Lugosi lived his last decade in sad obscurity, Boris Karloff worked until the very end of his life, even as his body began to fall apart. Some of that work was for Roger Corman, the extremely prolific independent genre film producer whose mov

We couldn't finish up the Erotic90s without revisiting the 90s Lo**ta trend one final time, with a pair of films, Wild Things and Cruel Intentions, that feature s*xually sophisticated teens manipulating men for their own gain and/or amusement. We'll also discuss how the late 90s wave of teensploitation showed up in pop music and media with the rise of a teenage Britney Spears. Listen now:

Listen to this episode on Apple Podcasts or Spotify . If Adrian Lyne’s Lo**ta became a case study of what Hollywood and America didn’t want to acknowledge about its s*xualization of young girls, as the 90s came to a close, the culture was full of “acceptable” depictions of teens in heat. Two

By the time Adrian Lyne's long-in-development adaptation of Lo**ta was finally finished, it faced an uphill battle against a culture that was turning against the same kinds of s*xualized depictions of teens it had embraced only a few years before. We revisit the 90s Lo**ta trend we touched on in an earlier episode to see what changed and what lines Lyne's Lo**ta crossed that went too far most distributors and audiences. vault ep 217 http://www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com/episodes/90s-lolitas-volume-2-adrian-lynes-lolita-erotic-90s-part-18

We're back! On today's new episode of Erotic90s we discuss "le***an chic" and the ways in which le***ans in 1990s Hollywood were viewed and treated, onscreen and off. We discuss the Wachowskis' Bound, and how media perception around the filmmakers influenced how that film was received. We also discuss the little-seen Wild Side, which stars Anne Heche in a mesmerizing performance, and the media frenzy that erupted around Heche's high-profile relationship with Ellen DeGeneres. Listen now:

Listen to this episode on Apple Podcasts or Spotify . At the beginning of the 90s, le***ans were a punchline for a male-gaze-oriented media, an easy target for expressing the anxiety that women might not need men after all. By the middle of the decade, women-loving-women had become the heroe
