Jon Cross talks with renowned genre filmmaker Larry Cohen (Black Caesar, It's Alive, Q, The Stuff, Maniac Cop) and the director of the documentary about him, King Cohen: The Wild World of Filmmaker Larry Cohen, Steve Mitchell (Writer of Chopping Mall).

They talk on-the-fly filmmaking, shooting in New York, motivations, being a villain in your own story, working with actors, Hollywood, Blaxploitation, lies, memories and madness. 

It is two fascinating discussions about the career of a man who broke all the rules of filmmaking, perfected the high concept, elevated the B Movie/genre film, gave the small characters something to do and did it all with a sense of humour, determination and showmanship that is almost unrivaled. 

Discover the world of Larry Cohen.
