Ep. 64: Wavelength

2022/07/28

Erica likes to point out, "all roads lead to THE THING" and WAVELENGTH is one of those roads. But WAVELENGTH is so much more. It's a little bit of E.T. seasoned with a dash of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS sitting on a bed of Tracy Chapman. It also features some of the finest performances of faceless government bureaucrats ever filmed.

Our celebration of FORBIDDEN WORLD continues with a conversation with makeup effects artist Mark Shostrom (EVIL DEAD II, PHANTASM II & III, NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 1-3) who got his start at New World Pictures, working at the Lumberyard for Allan Holzman's FORBIDDEN WORLD and Aaron Lipstadt's ANDROID!

If you're going to celebrate Forbidden World July, what better movie to discuss than the one that inspired it all! That's right, it's time to discuss Allan Holzman's sci-fi classic, including topics like, how hot is Jesse Vint? Are those masks or cups? How important is a good steam? And who exactly was hooking up with who on this horny scientific space station? Plus, Marc reaffirms his love of a horror franchise, Erica delights in the potential for hyper-sleep, and Ryan reveals an alternate version

Forbidden World month starts off with a blaster beam bang as we talk to the film composer, Susan Justin, who also worked on music for several other New World Pictures films like FIRECRACKER, GRUNT! THE WRESTLING MOVIE and STRYKER! We discuss her musical beginnings and her collaborations with Craig Huxley that led to the unique sound that is the FORBIDDEN WORLD score and their subsequent collaboration, THE FINAL TERROR! Plus, Marc gets to nerd out about synthesizers, we bandy about several t-shirt

Ep. 62: Deathstalker

The New World Pictures Podcast ·

2022/07/02

When a movie title combines two words together like "death" and "stalker" it's imperative to determine the proper pronunciation. Is it "Deaths Talker"? Or, is it "Death Stalker?". Also, how does one acquire the name "Deathstalker"? We dare to ask these tough questions while talking about boners more here than in any other NWPP episode. Ryan does a deep, deep dive into the history of Conan the Barbarian. Erica adds a vaudevillian flare to the episode with her mouth trumpet. Marc attempts but

Ep. 61: Warlock featuring Lindsay Wilkins

The New World Pictures Podcast ·

2022/06/23

For our 100th episode, we explore an area of New World Pictures history that we've never discussed: when other companies had to release their movies because they were broke! Such is the case with 1989's WARLOCK, despite the presence of director Steve Miner, who had made some of New World's biggest hits, and Executive producer Arnold Kopelson, who had just won an Academy Award! Joining us in the discussion is Lindsay Wilkins from the Schlock and Awe podcast so we could properly discuss Mary Woronov's

Convince Me: Blade Runner (1982)

The New World Pictures Podcast ·

2022/06/17

After the resounding success of our first Convince Me episode (where Ryan and Erica failed to convince Marc that The Silence of the Lambs is a good movie because that movie blows) we decided to do another episode. This time, Erica selects 1982's Blade Runner. Erica has always been vocal about her detest of Blade Runner and she doesn't hold back. In the process, we determine that Tyrell is a Scientologist and Erica tells a story about wearing an eye patch as a child. It's an emotional journey

Ep. 60: The Pit featuring Doug McCambridge

2022/06/09

Doug from the Good Times Great Movies Podcast joins us to talk about 1981's THE PIT! That's a pretty old film, considering we're just a bunch of super youngs that are hip as hell, but we were nevertheless charmed by this movie, even if it's about a creepy kid who's only friends are his teddy bear and these small creatures who live at the bottom of a pit he found in the woods! We dig into all the important subjects, like, how old is the Dad? Does anyone in this town know how to properly root

Our new Bonus Episode series Nearly New World continues with the sequel to the 1984 New World classic, which might have been released by New World for reasons we'll explain in the episode. First we'll also discuss a few things we've been watching lately, including ALIEN PRIVATE EYE, ANACONDA, and Tootsie the Musical! Then it's on to THE FINAL SACRIFICE, where we discuss the new powers of He Who Walks Behind the Rows, including corn vision, voodoo magic, and replacing your jelly beans with his! Will

Ep. 59: Smokey Bites the Dust

2022/05/26

With a title like SMOKEY BITES THE DUST, you would think the elevator pitch for the movie would go something like, "The sheriff of a small town will stop at nothing to catch a high school rebel that kidnaps his daughter" Or, "When his car is stolen, Dick Miller sets off to catch the perpetrator by helicopter in a game of air-to-ground cat and mouse." Or, "Time is running out as a local moonshiner looks to strike it rich by selling his prized recipe before law enforcement catches up with him" Or,

Did you know one of us hates SILENCE OF THE LAMBS? It's true! And that's either surprising or completely normal, depending on your perspective. That lead to us creating a new Bonus Episode series called "Convince Me!" Listen as some of us do our best to convince the other that Jonathan Demme's SILENCE OF THE LAMBS isn't a piece of shit. It's harder than you might think! Whether you agree or disagree, remember to fill our social media timelines with your opinions! You might as well, you're already

58 movies into our journey, and some of us are starting to question whether watching EVERY New World Pictures movie was a good idea. However, the Board won't budge so we continue with 1985's TRANSYLVANIA 6-500 starring the ever-delightful Jeff Goldblum and Ed Begley, Jr. leading an incredible cast of comedic actors! (Also, Michael Richards.) We dive into this wacky film, and, along the way, we learn an inordinate amount about Marc's 10th grade Drama class, Erica unveils her Carol Kane impression

L-l-l-late b-b-b-bonus episode. Sorry for the delay but we hope it will be worth it as we talk about STEEL AND LACE, a movie that could have and should have been made by New World Pictures but wasn't. We get into the most important parts of this sci-fi thriller including the intricacies of property management and whether Gaily Morton, the film's lead, is a robot, droid, or cyborg. We also debate whether Gilly is, in fact, the lead. In addition to STEEL AND LACE, we review 2022's TEXAS CHAINSAW

We are joined by Lauren Flans (Wild 'n Out, Another Period) of the Coming Out With Lauren & Nicole podcast to discuss her favorite musical, Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music, but will the film adaptation hold up? The 1977 Academy Award-winning film brought along Broadway director Harold Prince and a couple original cast members, as well as the star power of Elizabeth Taylor and Diana Rigg, but was it enough? We'll discuss all of it, including what changed from stage to screen, why Madame

We discuss his early days in a band and how his long-term vision to not be on the road his whole life led him to a career that had him on the road even more. We talk about his long partnership with Stephen King, his friendship with George Romero, and his recent work on the CREEPSHOW series. Marc also makes an uncomfortable attempt to talk about his love of the movie,

Ep. 56: Avalanche

The New World Pictures Podcast ·

2022/04/14

You might think a movie titled AVALANCHE would be about an avalanche and you'd be right except there's more than just snow coming full force to a luxurious mountain resort. This movie is an AVALANCHE of hard-partying, harder-loving, and rock-hard action sports. David Shelby (ROCK HUDSON) knows the way to win back his ex-wife's heart (MIA FARROW) is to invite her to spend the weekend with his mother. Who can blame him? His mom knows how to party. Plus he's brought in the hottest professional

For the second year in a row, we are throwing Roger Corman a birthday bash to celebrate his 96th year around the sun. This year we decided to make it a surprise birthday party. Not only is it a surprise for Roger (who we're sure is delighted by this episode), but also a surprise for us. You see we picked two movies that Roger Corman directed for us to discuss. Except, Erica and Ryan didn't tell Marc which movie they watched and Marc didn't tell Erica and Ryan which movie he watched. Which

Okay, let's make that THREE films!

Allan tells some world stories about the haunted halls of AFI, a drunk Sam Peckinpah, the secret John Milius cameo in CRAZY MAMA, why Jonathan Demme wanted to fire him, and why Roger Corman keeps a junky couch outside his office.
