On the seventh episode of the Icons Of Fright podcast, Rob G and Mike C are joined by legendary cult film director William Lustig to celebrate his recent Criterion Channel block of “William Lustig’s MANIAC PULP!” We talk about all the films, including why MANIAC still resonates, the MANIAC COP trilogy, his unmade RELENTLESS sequel with Quentin Tarantino (!), the production woes of THE EXPERT and MANIAC COP 3, and we even discuss new movies we’ve seen and the French New Wave! Tune in for this FRIGHT exclusive chat with the great William Lustig!

Hosted by Rob Galluzzo, Mike Cucinotta, Jason Alvino, and Adam Barnick. Opening theme song is “I Came To Kill” by Late Night Horror Show, written and performed by Clint Carney.
