ROAR plus Tiger King – ep73 – 1981

from Old Millennials Remember Movies Hosted by Angela Yoshiko

With almost the entire world under some form of quarantine, the people watched "Tiger King." The insane Netflix documentary series inspired the Old Millennials to seek out the craziest BIG CAT movie of all time - the little-seen adventure film, "ROAR" from 1981. The movie, directed by and starring a crazy guy named Noel Marshall, didn't get an official release in the United States until Drafthouse Films bought the rights in 2015. No animals were harmed in the making of the movie, but, no joke, something like 70 cast and crew members sustained lion and tiger-related injuries. Cinematographer Jan de Bont (who would later direct "Speed" and "Twister") even got scalped by a a motherf*#%ing lioness. Roar and Tiger King podcast - Old Millennials Remember Movies Marshall's then wife Tippi Hedren and step-daughter Melanie Griffith star in "Roar," a movie about... well there isn't much plot to reveal. Basically, dozens of lions, tigers, panthers and other big cats attack and terrorize a family while the patriarch of the household pretends that it's totally normal to let a hundred blood-soaked killing machines live inside his house 24 hours a day. There's also an elephant with MURDER in its heart. After a discussion on Netflix's "Tiger King," Old Millennials hosts Tyler and Angela discuss one of the most baffling and terrifying films of all time. Tyler is even convinced that Steven Spielberg modeled the raptor kitchen sequence in "Jurassic Park" after a few specific stretches of "Roar." You may not have seen "Roar" when you were young (nobody did), but you need to see it now. You can find it online through a certain mega-popular video streaming service.
