Hello, my name's Justin Clu, and I'm here today with Will Sloan.

And you're listening to The Important Cinema Club. And today, we're getting in the gutter

with the, I guess, ultimate gutter otter, Andy Milligan. I think it's fair to say that when

we use that expression, gutter rotour, this is who we're talking about. Yes.

This is the definitive one.

I mean, people could also apply to somebody like Ed Wood as well.

Sure.

I think we've used it to talk about Sean Costello in recent months.

But Andy Milligan is the man for you if you think Ed Wood is just a little too mainstream.

Yeah.

If you want something a little bit more confrontational, something that's in your face, and

a pure individual expression of one very conflicted soul.

Last week I mentioned this quote that John Waters said about Andy Milligan.

He said that his career poses the question, can a genius be untalented? I would disagree

with that statement. Oh, yeah? Yeah, I think Andy Milligan is talented in the very specific

thing that he does. Well, he's unique. He's an individual. He has no command of the rules of film

grammar. Or he does, and he's just not interested in them. Like, he sees things very much like,

this is how they're supposed to be done. And he approaches in a very repetitive, normalized way

that I'm not going to change any of the way that I put these things together. His films,

which include such titles as The Man with Two Heads, The Warrows Are Here, The Body Beneath.

The Bloods Arestee Butchers, Torture Dungeons.

Surge a Kill.
