Day the World Ended - Good Bad Flicks 

The director Roger Corman is still alive! He is only 96 years old and still working as a producer, what a mad lad.

Ha! You said "1985" at the beginning! I had to re-listen 3-4 times to makes sure I was not hearing wrong 😆

There can never be another Roger Corman! A living legend!

Roger corman's autobiography was the subject of my 5th grade book report. It was called how I made a hundred movies in Hollywood and never lost a dime. It had interviews with literally every actor he had worked with, and many that are now considered masters of their craft. Not just actors and actresses, either. Directors, producers, script writers, editors, and so on, we're all there to sing the praises of Roger. And I believe rightly so, still to this day even. I had enjoyed his films ever since I was a child scrambling through the back section of the Chicago tribunes weekly TV guide. That was the best place to find any movies you were looking to see that you had only heard of through friends, or read about in magazines and books. Carmen's films were mostly late night fodder, with the occasional showing of some of his bigger films on Saturday and Sunday afternoons....... Usually after samurai Sunday. The son of svengoolie would play quite a bit of his horror films, too. Son of svengoolie is where I got my first taste of Rogers pictures. Some of them were his Edgar Allan Poe films, which I watched simply because I was 4 years old and was fascinated with Vincent Price and Boris karloff. I only understood a little bit of the source material because my mom was a big Edgar Allan Poe fan, and explained a lot to me. I also was obsessed with Little shop of horrors as a kid, so watching his original version, which had a darker tone I felt, made it one of the first horror films 2 irk me in an unsettling way, despite it also making me laugh out loud. I tried to tape them off television, as well as collect them on old VHS tapes from garage sales, video store sales, and so on. I would get them as gifts for my birthday and Christmas from both my dad and my aunt who knew how much I love those films. Eventually, they would just get me any film that had Rodger corman's name on it. And even though it wasn't a horror film, I still enjoyed every minute of it. The reason I'm mentioning all this now is because the film that you have covered is one of the few films I have yet to sit down and actually watch of rogers. I've seen bits and pieces of it, but I've never had the chance to sit down and fully see it from beginning to end. My plan on doing so very soon. And I always enjoy watching your reviews of these films. Even though I may have seen most of them, it reminds me of why I should watch them again, and possibly with a different perspective. So I think you very much for all that you Sometime soon I will tell you about the brief period in which I was able to work with Roger. And when I say work, I really mean just talking to him and mostly his advisors about a few films I had of his that were work Prints

I love these atomic horror movies. I can just imagine Stan Lee sitting in the audience saying “radiation yeah that’s the ticket!”

Another high quality GoodBad. Thanks for making these for us.

Gotta love an uncut throwing-a-dummy-off-a-cliff take! Just like "Escape from the Planet of the Apes!"

You killed me with that Jim Norton reference🤣 Awesome video, mate !

Thanks for the reminder that the “butthole cut” of Cats has a real chance of existing 😂. Great vid as per usual

I saw BOTH versions as a kid on UHF back in the day. And, yeah, the part where that guy chucked that woman's body off of the cliff really freaked me out! 😜

I'm so glad it seems Hollywood is going to die before Roger Corman... Thanx, Cecil, great as usual!!

Five (1951) is also about the survivors of a nuclear holocaust who try to survive in an isolated house. Maybe Corman saw it and was "inspired" by it.

The MSTie in me would LOVE to see more classics covered...this was awesome 🤘

Jim (the dad w/ the house) speaks with the exact same slow, sad, mono-pitched voice in every one of his lines that were shown. Every. One. Great editing, Cecil! Love it! 👍🏻😆

The FBI hat over "he's glowing" was a nice touch

I wasn't expecting the glowie meme from GoodBadFlicks but I heartily approve. I remember seeing this movie on TV decades ago and I just couldn't remember the name until recently. Other than the bad monster costume at the end I liked this one a lot. Thanks for covering this movie, I need to watch it again from beginning to end to see if it's as good as I remember.

The guy playing Rick would have made a pretty cool, "Doc Savage".

Roger Corman actually did "remakes" of some of his old movies for HBO. The Day The World Ended (HBO) had nothing to do with the actual end of earth, or humanity. It was about a boy with powers. He did that several times. How To Make A Monster remake is about video game developers.

The movie is from 1955, not 1985.

So there's radioactive rain, then in the next scene he suggests they go for a swim in the lake?

You said 1985, it's from 1955

happy thanksgiving, GBF. i'm thankful for all of the laughs.

The weird tv remake " In the Year 2889 " is pretty entertaining

I laughed way too hard at the creamed corn joke, probably because my dad actually has an uncomfortably-large stock of them.

Great job on the review, Cecil. It's great to see you tackle a Roger Corman film again. Here's an interesting note, this film was "remade in name only" as part of Columbia Pictures' Creature Features series in 2001. In the remake, the monster costume is created by Stan Winston's studio, and it looks great.

Another Jim Norton reference. Good job!

Early role for Mike "Touch" Connors, who later starred in the popular television series, "Tightrope" (1959-60) and "Mannix" (1967-75). Richard Denning was a regular (as the Governor) on "Hawaii Five-O" (1968-80).

Jim’s a certifiable badass

Apocalypse and chill!

I especially liked the mention to In The Year 2899. That movie puzzled me when I watched some time ago due to having no piece of futuristic technology.

"the tingle means it's working" I'm dying. ded.

The first episode of Red Dwarf also starts with "The End" and ends with "The Beginning".

Been wanting to get this movie on Blu Ray for a long time.

Rick and the radioactive guy, my favourite 80s buddy cop sitcom

Pause @ 8:45 Those really look like modern day architecture in buildings. Neat.

I saw Roger walk through Bloomingdale's in Santa Monica once while i worked there years ago. I got distracted with a customer so didn't have time to approach him and politely say that I was an admirer of his films ...however i pointed him out to some people (some my age, most younger) and not one knew of him. I said "well you've heard of Jack Nicholson and Francis Ford Coppola right ?" they all said yes... I replied "well, their movies which you all love wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for THAT man."

I love every Jim Norton and O&A reference in all your reviews.

I am legit kind of impressed you went through the whole thing without a **Signs** reference.

3:18 Poor Moe 🤣

Oh man,I haven't watched for a while and youtube finally brought you back up. Time to get catching up, always enjoy the videos!

Monster rain reference? Ha, man you get classier every video!

Greatest commentary quote ever @0:41

The “day for night” watchman, that’s a good one

"Monster raaaaaain!" Hurguuurguuuurguuur

70 year old, 1950s, black and white movie from “1985” - Must be time travel! 😊

That is Mike Connors who plays tony, he went on play Mannix in the TV detective show of the same name. He had a very successfu acting career. Surprised that wasn't mentioned.

Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.

"O&A party rock!"

This is a purely Roger Corman extravaganza!! All the way. Shot in 9 days huh,....no way. I've been watching this movie off & on since the late 70s. Actually it's kind of, sort of watchable "Atomic Age" sci fi / horror. Silly, goofy, but fun. This was one of those steeping stone, building block movies I watched growing up that lead to my love for the genre. Popcorn anyone!!

I laughed way too hard at "day for night watchman"

I’m just amazed none of these characters saw any problems with their plan to repopulate the planet with just two couples.

holy fuck, a jim norton monster rain reference, bro, iv followed you for years, but damn that was great haha

1985? Almost 70 years old? I warped into the future.

I've never watched this, but I've seen the remake with Paul Petersen, similar to how I saw Zontar, the Thing from Venus before I saw It Conquered the World.

Loving the Atomic Age movies!

Mike Conners . Remember seeing this decades ago and was shocked to see Mannix being the bad guy. Have been watching some of the Mannix episodes on ME TV but they are on at like 1:00 AM

It was a fun film, well worth watching!

The tingle means it's working!

I was on a pirete sites. Saw Cats on there. Didn't watch it even for free.

That film has an excellent creepy mood.

Sunset Boulevard is probably the most famous movie that begins with the ending, and that came out five years earlier.

Blind bought a DVD many years ago that had this in a double feature with The She-Creature… that was an interesting watch

Outstanding and funny

This was among the first of many in watching Atomic age sci-fi movies on AMC when they were still broadcasting that genre.

The monster looks like Oderus Urungus from Gwar

Thanks for these - may I suggest Gonks go Beat.

AIP has some great B movies thanks for the review

Monstah bath jokes, 20 minutes, go!

2:02 - Hah, RIP Terry.

Whata ride!

Great video

Nothing wrong with a little Monster Rain. Just a couple of lads celebrating each other. Huddla huddla. Crinkle-crinkle!

Corman could do wonders with virtually nothing and he had a surprisingly good cast here: Richard Denning, Lori Nelson, Mike Connors, Paul Burke.....all solid performers.

Roger Corman has made over a billion movies! He's the B movie king! No matter how bad or good they are, you still have to appreciate them! Because it's by the king!

LoL, "Day for night watchman".

lol woops was awesome

I love it when people don't pick up that the monster *is* the fiance!

I highly suggest Exploring Four Rooms. It was a unique anthology film for its time.

"He thennnn...randomly dies" lol

I'm sure somebody else probably caught it, but you announce it as a "1985" film (0:09). It's actually 1955, not '85

Please do 'Johnny Mnemonic - 1995'.

I just watched the new Christmas Story movie, and it just got me thinking, what a great exploring episode the original Christmas Story would be, so please do it this year, and also Invasion USA was set during Christmas, so get to it, or else 🧔

“Happy landings sweetheart” 😂

The monster looks like spaghetti on the wall.

I can dig it...

He's alive Jim....but not as we know it... :)

When I was a kid, I could never understand why they sometimes broadcast the film in color and sometimes in B&W. Also Saucermen/Eye Creatures. See Larry Buchanan for an explanation.

We need people like Corman and companies like Asylum, Full Moon and Troma they are the training ground for the next generation of talented film makers who get to learn make something out of next to nothing and what it is like working in the real world. Too many of the current crop of people go from film school to large companies and never learn the tricks of trade that you only pickup when you try and make a movie with money found down the back of the couch.

Panic in Year Zero is probably my favorite Roger Corman production. It’s almost a proto Road Warrior movie that gets really dark for the time it was made.

i seen the movice went i was a kid big at the time i like as kid.50s or 60s

You should explore the 1950's Rock n Roll J.D. genre, quite a few unknown gems, Corman himself produced some.

And just a year ago, the blonde male lead was in Creature from the Black Lagoon.

2:01 LOL

Lori Nelson(Louise) was in Revenge Of The Creature. That's definitely a movie you should review. 😊

1:13 Wow, you remember WOOPS! as well? And here I thought I was the only person on Earth to remember that show. I'm shocked that someone can still remember it. Also, yeah, you're right, this film does feel like WOOPS! cribbed off its homework.

LOL @ 3:21

Maybe if they hid under the porch to hide from the rain and played a game of sorts to protect themselves....

It's free on RU-vid!

1985?

i was thinking i've seen this movie in the last couple of years, but the people look different and i don't remember the guy with the donkey, ah i saw the other version, they must be near identical as the story seems exactly the same
