American International Podcast
For over three decades, an independent film studio churned out hundreds of movies that captured the imagination of audiences around the world. From horror to sci-fi to exploitation and everything in between, American International Pictures brought us low-budget, high energy and often controversial films with lurid titles, low budgets and some surprisingly big names. Join Jeff Markin and Cheryl Lightfoot as they dive into AIP’s catalog of nearly 500 movies, to discuss everything from The Abominable Dr Phibes to Zontar, the Thing from Venus! The American International Podcast is not affiliated with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer or its subsidiaries.
