The New World Pictures Podcast

The New World Pictures Podcast is dedicated to every movie released by New World Pictures. We talk about the things we loved and the things we hated along with the detailed history of each film"s history and production. Founded by the infamous Roger Corman, New World Pictures was responsible for the greatest genre and exploitation films of the 1970"s and 1980"s. Remember all those movies that lived proudly in the Action, Horror, Comedy and Sci-Fi isles of the video store? Titles like Death

Ep. 111: Hell Hunters

The New World Pictures Podcast ·

2024/02/26

We wrap up our celebrated #febWARary with 1988's Hell Hunters directed by Ernst Ritter von Theumer. Hell Hunters follows a team of Nazi hunters - Maud Adams (Octopussy), Candice Daly (The Young and the Restless), and Romulo Arantes (Blame it on Rio) - as they attempt to stop a former Nazi played by Stewart Granger (King Solomon's Mines) from unleashing a deadly poison that will turn people into zombies.Take away the Nazi angle and Hell Hunters sounds surprisingly similar to the John Stamos /

2024/02/19

We continue #FebWARary with director Bruce Beresford's BREAKER MORANT, which covers the very well-known (to Americans) Second Boer War. We attempt to offer a small background on the War as we discuss this Academy Award-nominated film, which follows three soldiers court-martialed by their own military. Also, Erica discovers the movie was based on true events (but also, frustratingly, a play), Marc can't stop thinking about AGAINST ALL ODDS, and all three hosts reveal their own personal code. For

Nearly New World: Eye of the Eagle (1987)

The New World Pictures Podcast ·

2024/02/12

We return to #FebWARary for a Roger Corman/Cirio Santiago film that New World DIDN'T release, but could have! The film, one of Santiago's many Namsploitation films, is at least filled with action and the debut of Robert Patrick, the eventual T-1000 of James Cameron's T2. We sharpen our gaze towards THE EYE OF THE EAGLE as Ryan takes us on a deep dive of the film's soundtrack, Erica points out the unique costumes, and Marc attempts to remember a single character name.

R.J. Kizer returns to the podcast! A longtime New World Pictures editor, R.J. made his directorial debut with the American scenes that were inserted into GODZILLA 1985, New World's re-edit of Toho's THE RETURN OF GODZILLA. We discuss how he became involved with the project, what it was like working with Raymond Burr, why GODZILLA 1985 never made it to DVD, as well as why stories about other New World projects like BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS, UP FROM THE DEPTHS, SPACE RAIDERS and even HELLRAISER!

Ep. 109: Last Plane Out

The New World Pictures Podcast ·

2024/01/30

We kick off #FebWARary with 1983's Last Plane Out, a semi-fictionalized account of the events that took place days before the Sandinista's removed Anastasio Somoza from power in Nicaragua. It stars Jan-Michael Vincent (Airwolf), Julie Carmen (In the Mouth of Madness) and Mary Crosby whose character shot JR in TV's Dallas. Sounds exciting, right? Wrong. But, what is exciting is the announcement of our new airline, Air Erica. It's exactly what NWPPVIP's have been asking for. Air Erica is putting

Ep. 108: Godzilla 1985 featuring Ali Davis

The New World Pictures Podcast ·

2024/01/22

Finally, Godzilla returns! And this time, he's sleepier than ever! After 9 years away from the box office, Japanese film studio Toho decided they need to expedite another GODZILLA movie and created 1984's THE RETURN OF GODZILLA. That film ended up in the hands of New World Pictures, who chopped it up and added extra American footage starring none other than Raymond Burr, who appeared in the Americanized version of the original Japanese movie, and the result is GODZILLA 85, a movie only New World

In this #Monstruary episode we attempt to satisfy all your strange desires with 1971's Lady Frankenstien, directed by former Roger Corman regular Mel Welles (THE LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS). This spin on a classic tale was shot with an international cast, headlined by former Orson Welles regular Joseph Cotten. It's a real Welles-fest!

The New World Pictures Podcast ·

2023/12/24

On December 23, 1988, New World Pictures released the sequel to one of their greatest hits, thus creating #DIEcember for this podcast a mere 35 years later! We dig into this holiday delight and ask all the important questions, like: what happened to Kirsty's boyfriend Steve? What's the worst smell you can encounter at an airport? And what does Pinhead's version of hell? Which character from this movie would you want as your roommate? We discuss that and much more in an episode that will hopefully

Will you survive this episode of DIEcember? Listen closely students so you don't miss a single detail of 1988's APPRENTICE TO MURDER! Don't let the vague online summary fool you: "The small beautiful Pennsylvania Dutch community is rocked by a series of bizarre events which lead to a web of deception, violence and murder. APPRENTICE TO MURDER is a story of Infatuation with love, dreams and out-of-world temptations." OUT OF WORLD TEMPTATIONS, you say??? We're in! Follow hunky, star student Chad

2023/12/11

From the people that brought you Hellraiser and Night Patrol (you read that right) comes 1989's HELLGATE. This movie stars Ron Palillo (Welcome Back Kotter) and a group of actors who weren't in Welcome Back Kotter as students (?) who's weekend getaway turns to terror when they're lured to a ghost town (?) called Hellgate. This movie has everything. Is it a horror movie? Is it a sci-fi movie? Is it a comedy? Is it a producer's attempt to showcase their enviable car collection? The answer to

Nearly New World: Warlock: The Armageddon

The New World Pictures Podcast ·

2023/12/04

We begin DIEcember, a celebration of the horror movies made by New World Pictures, with a movie that nearly made it into New World's history: 1992's WARLOCK: THE ARMAGEDDON directed by the late Anthony Hickox (HELLRAISER III: HELL ON EARTH) and starring the late Julian Sands in his second go-around as Satan's son. This time around, the Warlock has some new adversaries in the form of two teenage Druid warriors who train to face the evil Warlock by making baseballs fly through the air and befriending

Nearly New World: Night of the Creeps (1986)

2023/11/27

We push the limits of what we mean by "nearly New World" with this bonus episode where we talk about 1986 classic, Night of the Creeps starring Jason Lively (Blake's brother), Jill Whitlow (not related to the Lively family) and Tom Atkins in the role he was destined to play. This may be the most "stream of consciousness" episode we've ever recorded. In addition to talking about Night of the Creeps we also discuss (in no particular order): Hot dog condiments Erica's hypothetical radio show on

Oh my, you say, oh yessssssss, we say! So settle in, chill out, and don't forget to milk Movini before watching this thrilling, bizarre, choose your own adventure directed by Andrew Meyer, a dark film that spends the majority of its time focusing on the night and very little time at a zoo...ooopsie STILL talking about Night

Ep. 102: Night Zoo

The New World Pictures Podcast ·

2023/11/13

We continue #NIGHTvember with 1987's Night Zoo. With a title like Night Zoo, you'd expect a fun, family comedy. Maybe something along the lines of Night at the Museum. Spoiler alert! You would be wrong. Dead Wrong. Night Zoo, directed by Jean-Claude Lauzon, is a dark film that spends the majority of its time focusing on the night and very little time at a zoo. Night Zoo follows Marcel's release from prison as he tries to rebuild his estranged relationship with his father and hide $200,000

We close out #VIDtober with our ranking of Italy's much beloved La Casa franchise. A franchise that shares the podium with such greats as The Godfather 1-3 and Star Wars. If you're saying to yourself, "I've never seen a La Casa movie" you would be wrong. If you've seen Evil Dead or Evil Dead 2, you've seen a La Casa movie. If you've seen some, but not all, of the House movies, you've seen a La Casa movie. If you've seen The Witchery then good for you. You've seen a La Casa movie. We rank our

Our penultimate episode of VIDtober, our celebration of the movies released by New World Video, is also our 100th New World movie! Appropriately, we're discussing Donald G. Jackson's I LIKE TO HURT PEOPLE, a documentary? Sports film? Slasher? Whatever it may be, it contains a lot of wrestling! Even PRINCESS BRIDE actor Andre the Giant wrestles in it! Joining us is returning guest Brian James O'Connell, a director, writer, and wrestling fan, who sorts out the whole world of 1970's and early 80's

Nearly New World: Demons 2 (1986)

The New World Pictures Podcast ·

2023/10/16

As we continue #VIDtober and talk about the movies released by New World Video, there's one title we can't figure out why it wasn't released by New World Video and that's Lamberto's Bava's DEMONS 2! Featuring perhaps the greatest soundtrack ever created for a film (at least, in our opinion) and yet somehow not a commentary on television, we discuss the return of Bava's orthodontically-challenged creatures and how difficult they are to defeat, especially when no one knows how to close a door or not

2023/10/10

We continue our journey through the hardest fought hashtag, #VIDtober, in New World Pictures Podcast history with a rare gem(?) - 1985's TERROR IN THE SWAMP or, as it's known in some circles, NUTRIAMAN: THE COPASAW CREATURE. If you're from Louisiana or spent any time in a Southern swamp, you've got the advantage with this episode. We are way over our skis with the dialogue but we found a new saying that will become a NWPPVIP staple, "we can't go off half cocktail". Cocktail? Not sure what
