Nathan and Ryan take a joyride through Roger Corman’s Big Bad Mama (1974), a raucous slice of ’70s exploitation that blends crime, sex, and high-speed chases. Angie Dickinson stars as Wilma McClatchie, a gun-toting mama leading her daughters on a Depression-era crime spree filled with booze, bullets, and bank robberies. The hosts discuss Corman’s brand of rebellious filmmaking, the movie’s mix of grit and camp, and how it helped define the “outlaw family” subgenre of B-movies.
