Finally, Cannon and New World Pictures join forces to discuss a film where other people join forces to take out other forces!

We've wanted to talk with Writer, Director, and Producer Patrick Read Johnson for some time now and it was worth the wait. Patrick shares some amazing stories about getting his start in the film business and how he swapped sci-fi stories with George Lucas on the set of BATMAN RETURNS. He also talks about working on wearing multiple hats while working on DEAD HEAT. It isn't often that you are able to do special effects, fill the role of Assistant Director, and be the Music Composer all on the

We kick off #Deathcember, our celebration of New World movies with the word "death" in them, with ANGEL OF DEATH, from both director Jess Franco and Andrea Bianchi! We frequently say on the NEW WORLD PICTURES PODCAST that you don't need to see the movie to enjoy the episode. While ANGEL OF DEATH is no different, it's practically impossible to accurately describe this movie. Is it about a Jewish commando team hunting Dr. Mengele in Paraguay? Yes. It's ALSO about Dr. Mengele's experiments

We kick off our new Monday release schedule with an interview with Writer, Director, and Actor, Charles Dennis. As many of you #NWPPVIPs know, we love 1983's COVERGIRL and were thrilled to have a chance to talk with Charles about the movie. Did you know the director shot a separate film within the film? We sure didn't. Charles shares with us how he got his start in radio and the theater as a child. He shares how he befriended Anthony Perkins. He talks about his early films including 1974's THE

Jason from the Force Five Podcast joins us as #Newoirvember continues with 1987's SISTER, SISTER, the debut of director Bill Condon (GODS AND MONSTERS, CHICAGO). But is it noir? Southern noir? Or Southern Giallo? We debate that as we discuss how to be a good hotel guest (welcome new sponsor, Hilton!), the horniness of the bayou, and what it's like to grow up while constantly living in a shadow.

Borchers, who produced both ANGEL and CHILDREN OF THE CORN for New World Pictures and helped get the post-Corman era off to a good start. In this episode, we discuss Ken Russell's CRIMES OF PASSION, which Borchers produced and discuss how the film almost had a monkey wearing a diaper in it, the bargaining with the MPAA, and how Donald slipped the change of Anthony Perkins's character to a priest past

#Corntober continues as we turn our attention to the curious world of viticulture with 1989's THE VINEYARD. As it turns out, making the best wine in the world is hard. It takes more than a great crop. You need to have incredibly loyal staff, an associate's degree in magic, and the blood of aspiring twenty-something actors. Who knew? We sure didn't. James Hong (BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, KUNG FU PANDA) stars as Dr. Elson Po, a world-renowned winemaker with a bit of a checkered past and a

David Simkins is well known as a writer for both the big and small screen, writing ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING and working on shows like Adventures of Brisco County Jr. and Lois & Clark, but it was a surprise to us that he started his career working as a development executive at New World Pictures. In fact, Simkins was critical to the studio making 1984's CHILDREN OF THE CORN, so we had to interview him for #Corntober! Simkins takes us through his early years working on the high school sketch

#Corntober is here! And what better way to kick things off than 1977's DEADLY HARVEST, a Canadian eco-thriller about famine, human desperation, and our universal hatred of eggplants! Clint Walker and Kim Cattrall lead this film about a society with a dwindling food supply due to climate change, yet plenty of gasoline and eggplants! (But does anyone eat eggplants?) Only computers have the answers of how long we have, but at least it only takes two men to load a cow into a painted Hearst! Or does

It's another installment in our burgeoning Bonus Episode series, "Nearly New World". This time, we're talking about 1988's THE BLOB. This movie checks a lot of boxes. It has faceless eurocrats (Ryan's favorite). It's a creature feature (Erica's favorite). It highlights the challenges of a low tax basis on a small town's infrastructure (Marc's favorite). We introduce some new segments including "things we learned" and "things we appreciated". Plus, Ryan tries out a new wrap-up for the episode.

Dan Gorman from the Notes From the Back Row Podcast (www.back-row.com) joins us as we dig deep into the New World Pictures catalog to uncover 1984's RENO AND THE DOC, a Canadian action(?) film about telepathy, middle-aged friendships, and skiing! The directorial debut from Charles Dennis (COVERGIRL) was an HBO staple and was nominated for 4 Genie Awards, and we marvel at it's ability to confuse as much as entertain! Never seen it?

Way back in our HEATHERS episode, Marc mentioned his disdain for 1992's BATMAN RETURNS, only for it come back to haunt him when we interviewed screenwriter Daniel Waters. We felt the next step was to try to convince Marc to give BATMAN RETURNS another chance, first by interviewing Marc's 1992 self and then catching up with him in the present day after a re-watch of Tim Burton's second and final Batman movie. Were Erica and Ryan successful? You'll have to listen to find out!

More importantly, we learn that playing with an Ouiji board in a Greek hotel while high can drive you to make some pretty rash decisions. We also learn about Dimitris's pitch to direct HARDBODIES 2.

But is this a comedy, or is it a drama? Or was it intended to be a musical? Is the penis a friend or foe? Which VCR speed is best when secretly recording the students of a prestigious girl's school?

We get into the fizziness of it all, from learning about the five comedian leads from cable, to how outdoors-y we all are, to pinpointing the exact moment when Ernie Hudson fired his agent, and how this film compares to AVENGERS ENDGAME!
