A pioneering outsider who clawed his way from the depths of 1960s underground filmmaking to the grindhouse gutters of 42nd Street, Andy Milligan remains, as \u003ci\u003eArtforum\u003c\/i\u003e called him, 'The Fassbinder of 42nd Street' -- a volatile, visionary auteur whose work defied convention and decency alike.\u003cp\u003eThis landmark collection from Severin Films assembles an astonishing array of newly unearthed and restored material, including two features long thought lost: \u003ci\u003eThe Degenerates\u003c\/i\u003e (1967), a post-nuclear nightmare rediscovered in a Brussels vault, and \u003ci\u003eKiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me!\u003c\/i\u003e (1968), a searing psychodrama recovered from an Amsterdam archive. Both have been meticulously restored from their only surviving film elements, resurrecting Milligan's raw, handmade cinema for the first time in decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso included is the acclaimed 2025 documentary \u003ci\u003eThe Degenerate: The Life and Films of Andy Milligan\u003c\/i\u003e, hailed by \u003ci\u003eRogerEbert.com\u003c\/i\u003e as 'an eye-opening look into one of the weirder and darker corners of cinema history.' Directed by Josh Johnson and Grayson Tyler Johnson, it captures the chaos, creativity, and pain of a filmmaker whose work was as personal as it was perverse. The set goes even deeper with two rarely seen projects -- the early short \u003ci\u003eCompass Rose\u003c\/i\u003e and 1979's gothic curio \u003ci\u003eHouse of Seven Belles\u003c\/i\u003e -- alongside more than five hours of special features that peel back the myth and madness surrounding Milligan's legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong the extensive extras are \u003ci\u003eTeam Degenerate\u003c\/i\u003e, a Tribeca Film Festival Q\u0026amp;A with directors Johnson and Johnson, author Jimmy McDonough (\u003ci\u003eThe Ghastly One\u003c\/i\u003e), and Milligan collaborators Hope Stansbury, Natalie Rogers, Ken Lane, and John Borske; deleted scenes and trailers from \u003ci\u003eThe Degenerate\u003c\/i\u003e; a feature-length audio commentary on \u003ci\u003eThe Degenerates\u003c\/i\u003e with Milligan expert Alex DiSanto; the archival 1975 audio interview between Milligan and author Stéphane Bourgoin; and multiple new interviews with actors, scholars, and historians including Stephen Thrower (\u003ci\u003eNightmare USA\u003c\/i\u003e).
