The Degenerate: The Life and Films of Andy Milligan 2025 Directed by Josh Johnson , Grayson Tyler Johnson

Before unsung gay NYC exploitation maverick Andy Milligan died of AIDS, he cranked out grindhouse-ready shock and so-bad-it’s-good schlock movies throughout the late 1960s and ’70s. Yet, as captured in this fascinating documentary, his life and on-set persona were messy, complicated, and unforgettable.
