From Monday to Friday in Media Culture, Eva Roque gives you her TV tips for the evening.

This Friday, she offers us two programs which will give us a lesson in cinema.

"Roger Corman, the pope of pop cinema" is to be discovered Saturday at 10:15 pm on Ciné + Classique and "Story Classique" which will be broadcast Sunday on OCS at 8:30 pm.

What does our weekend look like on the screens?

What is the theme of zapping?

At a lesson in cinema, where it is also about death.

First program, a documentary entitled "Roger Corman, the pope of pop cinema".

This 94-year-old man started as a FOX courier in the 1940s, before becoming a screenplay analyst, then screenwriter, then director, then producer.

His thing is low budget films, shot in a few days, with rotten special effects.

Horror or science fiction films, two genres that teenagers and young adults love when they rush to drive-ins to discover them.

Roger Corman accumulates dollars, money used in particular to launch the careers of young directors: Coppola, Scorsese, Ron Howard, or even Peter Bogdanovich.

The latter tells how stinginess can be a source of creation.

Roger Corman will multiply the successes.

And its production methods are becoming a benchmark!

When asked if it is not time to retire, he calmly replies that statistically men who have had power die within a year of stopping their activity.

So better to keep working.

Another program, another lesson in cinema: the excellent program "Story Classique" on OCS.

In a movie theater, an actor or actress recalls the films that marked him.

Sunday, Léa Drucker, great cinephile, lends itself to the game. Very young, she accompanied her father in cinemas.

She wasn't the type to stick movie posters in her bedroom.

Léa Drucker is fascinating.

She accurately deciphers the great classics, she shares her love for cinema, pushes us to go and discover these works.

And then comes the journalist's last question: what would be her epitaph as an actress.

And this is how a documentary and a program which have nothing to do on paper, respond to each other and above all remind us to what extent cinema is a major art.

To sum up :

"Roger Corman, the pope of pop cinema" is to be discovered Saturday at 10:15 pm on Ciné + Classique and "Story Classique" which will be broadcast Sunday on OCS at 8:30 pm
