Happy Fourth of July! We really haven't done much with this holiday, so we thought it was an appropriate time to celebrate with William Lustig's 1996 slasher Uncle Sam, a film that features tons of jingoistic American festivities while being pretty blatantly critical of US politics and war. While the film is a bit lackluster, we have a lot of fun calling out the crazy things in the movie: from a peeping tom on stilts, to a fireworks injury, to how good the smoked ribs look. We're also drinking Druthers Brewing Company's Saratoga Vibes lemon-lime pilsner!Approximate timeline0:00-11:00 Intro11:00-20:00 Beer talk20:00-end Uncle Sam
For the day before Independence Day we were joined by horror master William Lustig creator of Maniac, Maniac Cop franchise and more - discussing UNCLE SAM!

ART! TRASH! TERROR! Adventures in Strange Cinema (Headpress 2025) by Chris Alexander is a treasure trove of in-depth essays and edifying interviews that celebrate some of the most eccentric and unforgettable movies in cult cinema history. From recognized classics (George A. Romero's Dawn Of The Dead, David Lynch's The Elephant Man) to misunderstood masterpieces (Michael Mann's The Keep, Boris Sagal's The Omega Man) to unfairly maligned curios (Kostas Karagiannis' Land Of The Minotaur, Brett Leonard's Hideaway), the author takes an alternately serious and playful but always personal look at several strains of international horror, dark fantasy, and exploitation film -- motion pictures that transform, transgress, challenge, infuriate, shock, and entertain. Connecting these passionate and critical essays are insightful interviews with revered talents, such as John Waters (writer/director, Cecil B. Demented), Michael Winner (director, The Sentinel), Nicolas Cage (actor, Vampire's Kiss), Gene Simmons (co-founder/bassist, KISS), William Crain (director, Blacula), William Lustig (director, Maniac), Werner Herzog (director, Nosferatu: Phantom Der Nacht) and many more, as well as witty, heartfelt memoirs charting the author's oddball experiences on the fringes of Hollywood and beyond.

This week on the podcast, we dive into three very different films, starting with White Bird, directed by Marc Forster and starring Helen Mirren. The film follows Julian, a boy who has been struggling with guilt after being expelled for bullying Auggie Pullman. Julian's grandmother, played by Mirren, shares her powerful story of survival and first love in Nazi-occupied France. Next, we discuss Joker: Folie à Deux, the highly anticipated sequel to Joker, directed by Todd Phillips and starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga. Arthur Fleck returns as Joker, and this time, we meet Harley Quinn, his partner in chaos, as the two form a twisted bond within Arkham State Hospital. We also go back to the horror classic Maniac, directed by William Lustig and starring Joe Spinell. This gritty 1980 film follows a deranged killer on a bloody rampage through New York City, influenced by his traumatic childhood and obsession with his mother.

Join Justin as he chats with director and producer Bill Lustig about the preservation of cult cinema, his uncle Jake “Raging Bull” LaMotta, jump-starting his career behind the scenes in adult films, Maniac, and more!William "Bill" Lustig bio:"William Lustig was born on February 1, 1955 in Bronx, New York. During his teenage years, Lustig avidly watched a huge volume of lowdown and trashy exploitation fare at numerous 42nd Street grind house theaters in Manhattan and also worked as a movie theater usher in Fort Lee, New Jersey. After graduating from high school, he took a few film classes at New York University.Lustig began his film career in his mid to late teens, working behind-the-scenes in various minor production capacities on a handful of hardcore X-rated porno pictures as well as a production assistant on both "The Seven Ups" and "Death Wish." He made his debut as a director, producer and editor with the hardcore porn features "Hot Honey" and "The Violation of Claudia." Lustig directed both of these movies under the alias Billy Bagg.In 1980, Lustig found himself at the center of a storm of controversy when he made the grim, gory and disturbing slasher sleaze splatter landmark "Maniac," which boasts an incredibly intense performance by the legendary character actor Joe Spinell as a vicious depraved psychopath and plenty of hideously graphic and gruesome make-up effects by horror genre icon Tom Savini. In 1982, Lustig followed up "Maniac" with the tough, gritty and exciting New York urban revenge opus "Vigilante." In 1988, he delivered another winner with the terrific "Maniac Cop," a violent horror action flick about an undead New York police officer on a killing spree which was the first of several cinematic collaborations with fellow maverick independent filmmaker Larry Cohen.Lustig followed up with the 1989 stirring action item "Hit List" and the suspenseful serial killer thriller "Relentless" were likewise on the money excellent and entertaining offerings. However, the two "Maniac Cop" sequels were strictly hit-or-miss affairs: the second one was a worthy successor to the superior original and the third one was a regrettably mediocre entry in the series. Lustig's last film as a director to date was the nifty and enjoyable fright flick "Uncle Sam."Since 1997, William Lustig went on to initially produce retrospective DVD documentaries for Anchor Bay and now currently runs the outstanding DVD label Blue Underground which restores and re-releases popular and little seen cult movies and other grind house action, drama, and horror films."Monsters, Madness and Magic Official Website.

Jahre nach dem wir Maniac von William Lustig besprochen haben, ist es nun Zeit für das Remake aus dem Jahr 2012. Der Film spielt mit der Perspektive, verlegt den Handlungsort von New York nach Los Angeles und verstört und/oder begeistert mit einer extreme Gewaltdarstellung. Aber geht dieses Rezept auch auf? Grenzt sich der Film deutlich vom Original ab? Was macht er besser, was schlechter, was einfach nur anders? Wir diskutieren darüber in Folge 330. Viel Spaß!

Lee is joined this episode by his friend Matt from the Movie Melt Podcast to have a fun talk about the William Lustig-directed "Maniac" (1980), written by and starring the amazing (and very sweaty) Joe Spinell, and co-starring the beautiful Caroline Munro. The film being Spinell's passion project; porn star casting; sleazy New York; the 2012 remake; and exploding heads are just a few of the things brought up in the conversation. The hosts also talk about what they've watched recently and respond to listener comments. Join us, won't you? We're goin' to a showdown. Put on something nice, just in case you die!

After a long hiatus (got married, went on honeymoon) Gorman on Gore is back, and with a vengeance! The long-awaited sequel to our premier episode is finally here. Maniac Cop 2 takes everything you loved about the original film and dials it up to 11. Matt Cordell, the homicidal zombie cop, is out for revenge for being set up. Or maybe he's just angry about being punished for doing bad stuff. He's back to kill the men responsible for his imprisonment, and literally anyone else who happens to get in his way. Will hard-boiled detective Robert Davi and no-nonsense police psychologist Claudia Christian be able to solve the mystery of why Matt Cordell is such a jerk? Probably not. But hey, lots of car chases. Strap in and come for the ride along.Psst...

Pour ce 37ème épisode de CAPTURE MAG - LE PODCAST, l'équipe de Capture Mag se penche sur la carrière complète du réalisateur William Lustig, du très traumatisant MANIAC au très décevant UNCLE SAM, son dernier film. De 1980 à 1996, Lustig enchaine VIGILANTE et la saga des MANIAC COP, avant de perdre le mojo quand le scénario de TRUE ROMANCE lui échappe des mains. Il clôt une carrière de quinze ans avec une poignée de films peu mémorables, dont certains comme THE EXPERT (avec Jeff Speakman) et MANIAC COP 3 ne sont pas signés de son nom. Pour autant, le nom de William Lustig restera comme celui d'un véritable artisan de la série B qui déménage, un petit « Martin Scorsese du cinéma d'exploitation » pour reprendre l'expression de Julien Dupuy, qui rejoint ici Rafik Djoumi au micro de Stéphane Moïssakis, pour cet épisode enregistré en live au Club de l'étoile.Retrouvez toutes nos émissions sur http://www.capturemag.frPour nous soutenir, il y a deux adresses.KISS KISS BANK BANK : https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/fr/projects/capturemagTIPEEE : https://www.tipeee.com/capture-magPour acheter notre livre CAPTURE MAG 2012-2022 : NOTRE DÉCENNIE DE CINÉMA, rendez-vous chez votre libraire ou site marchand.

During his teenage years, Lustig avidly watched a huge volume of lowdown trashy exploitation fare at numerous 42nd Street grindhouse theaters in Manhattan and also worked as a movie theater usher in Fort Lee, New Jersey. After graduating from high school, he took a few film classes at New York University.In 1980, Lustig found himself at the center of a storm of controversy when he made the grim, gory and disturbing slasher sleaze splatter landmark "Maniac," which boasts an incredibly intense performance by the legendary character actor Joe Spinell as a vicious depraved psychopath and plenty of hideously graphic and gruesome make-up effects by genre icon Tom Savini. In 1982, Lustig followed up "Maniac" with the tough, gritty and exciting New York urban revenge opus "Vigilante." In 1988, he delivered another winner with the terrific "Maniac Cop," a violent horror action flick about an undead New York police officer on a killing spree which was the first of several cinematic collaborations with fellow maverick independent filmmaker Larry Cohen.Lustig followed up with the 1989 stirring action item "Hit List" and the suspenseful serial killer thriller "Relentless," starring Judd Nelson and Robert Loggia. In 1990, Lustig made the favorite of his films, “Maniac Cop 2,” which many consider superior to the popular original. Lustig's last film as a director to date was the nifty and enjoyable 1996 fright flick "Uncle Sam." Recently Lustig produced the well-received remake of “Maniac” starring Elijah Wood, and is now producing the reboot of “Maniac Cop.”Since 1997, William Lustig went on to initially produce DVDs for Anchor Bay and now currently runs the outstanding home entertainment label Blue Underground, which restores and re-releases popular and little seen cult movies and other grindhouse horror, thriller, action, and western films.

Ryan Kruger is a South African writer and director who burst on the scene last year with his feature debut Fried Barry. Fried Barry is completely bonkers in the most wonderful way. It's about a drug-addled man in Johannesburg who gets abducted by aliens. The aliens take full control of his body and we watch the title character Barry go through one insane drug-fueled and blood-soaked adventure after another under their control. It's a blast and was featured on The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs (which is unarguably the best way to watch it). This movie is one of the most original films to come out of horror in recent years which is why I was so excited to speak to Ryan. He has a lot to say on the topic of originality, true indie filmmaking, and how to market your projects. Without further ado here is Fried Barry Director, Ryan Kruger. Here are some key takeaways from this conversation with Ryan Kruger: You don't have to film in a straight line. Instead of production taking place through a designated timeline, Fried Barry was filmed on and off over the course of a few years. Sometimes, this is what you have to do for budgetary and scheduling purposes and there's nothing wrong with that. Even if you don't have your movie fully funded, start filming it. Investors are way more likely to jump on board once the train has left the station and they see that you're making tangible progress. See my conversation with William Lustig for more on this. If your production needs to start and stop, so be it, but make sure your cast and crew is aware of this and down for the ride, if only for continuity purposes. The other benefit of filming in stops and starts is it allows you as a director to evaluate your movie more deeply than you could have by just reviewing dailies at the end of a shoot day. Instead, as was the case of Ryan, he was able to sit with what he'd filmed for months at a time, and ruminate over it so he could make adjustments as he moved forward. Become a master marketer. Some filmmakers think that a movie's success will be based on its quality and merit. While both those things are critically important, your movie won't have an impact if people don't see it - therefore, you need to have a marketing plan and learn to promote the shit out of your film. This was something that Ryan was naturally very good at from the beginning. When promoting Fried Barry, he didn't do so through marketing traditional channels like media, interviews, etc. Instead, Ryan did off the wall things like making Fried Barry condoms and a relentless series of memes that featured the main character so that he could build recognition of his face on the internet. Traditional marketing channels for films are crowded and often leave you fighting for scraps of attention. Even if you can get your indie movie mentioned on Deadline, it'll soon be buried with news of higher budgeted projects and lost in obscurity. Instead, you need to come up with intelligent, creative, and disruptive marketing ideas that people will talk about. Listen to my interview with Shep Gordon for more of this, or just watch his incredible documentary Supermensch. Make polarizing work. Love it or hate it, Fried Barry cannot be ignored. It is so over the top and such a specific, hyper-individual vision that only Ryan could have made. These kinds of movies can be difficult to get approved, but they're a surefire way to get people oriented with your sensibility as a director - see Greasy Strangler for more on this. As Quentin Tarantino said, and I'm definitely paraphrasing, you should only make the kinds of movies that you were born to make, movies that only you would be capable of making instead of things that could be easily be done by someone else.
