Midnight Marathon: THE WILD ANGELS x THE TRIP // ROGER CORMANIA PART 3

Rev up your engines and pop them pills: we put our season of CORMANIA to rest with this influential, psychedelic wrap-up of a double feature. Before Easy Rider, Roger Corman put 1960s bikers on screen in The Wild Angels, and then adapted his LSD journey into The Trip, a feature-length hippie music video scripted by Jack Nicholson.As Eliza and Noah finish their six-film adventure into the late director's ouevre, just what has been learnt here? Was Corman a penny-pinching culture vulture, or an amazingly efficient auteur who leapt onto filmmaking trends well before they were cool? Cmon bro, it's the latter and you know it: rest in power king.INSTAFACEBOOKLETTERBOXDPATREONmidnightscreeningproductions@gmail.comSound: Anthony CarrArt: Kazuki KomatsuNEXT WEEK = Chasin' Derulo: 30 things u need to Derulknow
