2026/04/24

In this episode, we take you behind the curtain behind the curtain as we talk to former New World Pictures executive Jonathan Wolf, who was a Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of New World International from 1986 to 1990! We discuss Jonathan's time working at new World, the company's philosophy, and his insights on what Larry Kuppin and Harry Sloan had in mind when they purchased New World from Roger Corman in 1983. We also discuss his brief distribution venture with Studio Three Film

At long last, here's our episode on 1981's GHOSTKEEPER! If you picked up the Blu-ray from Canadian International Pictures that was released earlier this year, you may have already heard our track discussing the film with Rue Morgue writer, Terror Vision contributor, film programmer, and podcaster Yasmina Ketita! But even if you have, here's a longer version of that recording with even more discussion about Canadian director James Makichuk's debut film, shot on location in Alberta, Canada.We discuss

This week on the New World Pictures Podcast, we explore the “hills” of Chicago as seen in this action crime feature 1975's CAPONE, a movie New World Pictures nearly released! Join us as we analyzing its unique (and questionable) perspective and the overwhelming number of characters, spoiler alert, most of whom are barely introduced! Starring Ben Gazzara (SAINT JACK) as a both young and old Al Capone (though, mostly old), Sylvester Stallone (DEATH RACE 2000) as a young and alive Frank Nitti, Susan

6th Annual Roger Corman Birthday Celebration...

The New World Pictures Podcast ·

2026/04/01

Now in it's sixth year, we celebrate Roger Corman's birthday by watching films from his directing history, and this year, we brought in a special guest: filmmaker and author Kier-La Janisse! Kier-La is a badass! Not just because she wrote the book House of Psychotic Women: An Autobiographical Topography of Female Neurosis in Horror and Exploitation Films, or because she directed and produced the documentary WOODLANDS DARK AND DAYS BEWITCHED: A HISTORY OF FOLF HORROR, or even her work for Severin as

Ep. 170: Dangerous Affection

2026/03/26

To close out #MarchMadness 2: Let's Get Nuts, we had to go to the Light - Judith Light - with this made-for-TV movie co-starring an incredible cast of TV stars: Rhea Perlman (Cheers) and Jimmy Smits (L.A. Law)! Yes, we lost our minds watching DANGEROUS AFFECTION aka STAMP OF A KILER (as New World would release it on VHS), a New World Television production that stars Light as a pregnant children's book author (and illustrator, apparently) whose son happens upon a stamp that has secret plans imposed

Ep. 167: Seven Blows of the Dragon

The New World Pictures Podcast ·

2026/02/27

We are saying goodbye to Foreign Film February (or #FFF for the insiders) with a bang (or is it a clang?) with 1972's SEVEN BLOWS OF THE DRAGON and 1972's THE WATER MARGIN. Is this episode the podcast equivalent of a double feature? Not really. You see, some of us watched SEVEN BLOWS OF THE DRAGON and one of us watched THE WATER MARGIN. And while SEVEN BLOWS OF THE DRAGON and THE WATER MARGIN are essentially the same thing except one of them is 35 minutes shorter... and makes even less sense.

2026/02/20

We continue Foreign Film February, or “FFF” with the King of T&A himself, Federico Fellini! Based on his childhood in Remini, Italy, AMARCORD is a weird blend of memories, characters, and farts! Is it a classy teen film? A condemnation of fascism? A variety of shots of boobs and butts? It's all three and so much more!Joining us is comedian and writer Ali Davis, who has really had to suffer through some of the, should we say, quirkier selections from New World's past, but we thought we would

Ep. 165: Subway to the Stars

2026/02/13

We are kicking off another Foreign Film February, or "FFF", which has become a colloquialism at Haus der New World Pictures Podcast. Is that not the case in your home? If it isn't, it's time to start. To kick off the 2026 #FFF, we are talking about 1987's SUBWAY TO THE STARS, a Brazilian drama that, if you looked at the poster, is nowhere close to what you would expect. SUBWAY TO THE STARS explores a talented saxophonist (Vini) who's girlfriend (Nicinha) disappears after they have sex in an

Corman Graduates: Jack Hill Part 6: Sorceress Commentary

The New World Pictures Podcast ·

2026/02/06

We conclude our first Corman Graduates series with our final episode about Jack Hill and his final directorial effort, 1982's SORCERESS! A strange end to his directorial career, Jack's disappointment with the end product left him to take his name off the film and leave the film business altogether. Hill would also never work with Roger Corman again. But is the movie that bad? a success for New World Pictures, this CONAN THE BARBARIAN riff is a podcast favorite around here, so we dig into the film's

We're knee deep into #FANuary where you have picked the movies we watch and this week we take a turn towards the serious. Seriously hunky guys, we mean. Actually, one seriously hunky guy that is NOT afraid to take his shirt off wherever and whenever he likes. We're talking about Maxwell Caulfield and also the 1985's THE BOYS NEXT DOOR which also stars some guy named Charlie Sheen who was never in anything else. THE BOYS NEXT DOOR follows Roy (Maxwell Caulfield) and Bo (Charlie Sheen) who travel

Ep. 163: Avenging Angel

The New World Pictures Podcast ·

2026/01/24

It's that time of year! #FANuary! Where we don't pick the movie, the listeners do! For our second iteration of #FANuary, we have a great one for you: 1985's AVENGNING ANGEL, the sequel to 1984's ANGEL, one of the biggest hits of the second New World regime. But while director Robert Vincent O'Neil returns, not everyone does, which is why Betsy Russell (OUT OF CONTROL) takes over in the titular role as the high school student by day and hooker by night. Only this time, Angel is just a student, a law

The New World Pictures Podcast ·

2025/12/19

We end #deathcember with THE WARRIOR AND THE SORCERESS which could be considered DEATHSTALKER-ish. Or DEATHSTALKER-light. THE WARRIOR AND THE SORCERESS stars David Carradine (DEATHSPORT, DEATH RACE 2000), Maria Socas (DEATHSTALKER 2) and Anthony De Longis (THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER) in a movie that pays off on its poster as it actually features a woman with four boobies. Based on and entirely ripping off Yojimbo, THE WARRIOR AND THE SORCERESS follows Kain (Carradine), a mercenary who decides to

In a very short time, #NewOIRvember 2 has put #VIDtober to shame in the cast department, and that continues with 1987's THE KLLING TIME starring Beau bridges, Joe Don Baker, Keether, sorry, Kiefer Sutherland, and Michael Madsen! Not to say that CAGED TERROR wasn't filed with star power, but you get it. This murderer's row of a cast also has to deal with murder in a small, coastal town where Beau Bridges is a hunk and a young Michael Madsen isn't and no one questions that you are who you say you

Ep. 160: Foxtrot

2025/11/13

We are continuing #New-woirvember 2 with the noir-adjacent, FOXTROT, from 1976. It's not often you find this much star power in a New World Pictures joint. FOXTROT stars Peter O'Toole (LAWRENCE OF ARABIA), Charlotte Rampling (DUNE) and Max von Sydow (THE EXORCIST). They're just a bunch of fun, outgoing people giving it a go on a desert island as World War 2 looms on the horizon. That isn't true at all, Liviu (O'Toole) and Julia (Rampling) are in a miserable marriage and Larsen (Sydow) is a

We've hit a lot of different (Canadian) genres in #VIDtober 2: kids film, thriller, horror, and now, comedy? Yes, comedy! 1987's MR. NICE GUY is the type of (Canadian) 80's comedy we haven't seen since THE FUNNY FARM (not that FUNNY FARM)! Literally, since star Mike McDonald (not that Mike McDonald) and co-writer Mark Breslin are both in that movie as well! (Which was also Canadian.)MR. NICE GUY goes a lot of places.

Jessica Young joins us for a #VIDtober deep cut as we discuss the espionage/thriller/romantic comedy, 1986's KEEPING TRACK. This movie stars Margo Kidder (SUPERMAN, THE AMITYVILLE HORROR) as Claire, a lady banker thrust into a world of genetically modified computer chips and government conspiracies when all she really wants to do is sell trains. You know, as all bankers do. Claire is forced to partner up with Hawkins, an overworked reporter from Action News. Hawkins, played by Michael Sarrazin

Dirk Marshall from the VH US podcast joins us to bring back #VIDtober. We are kicking things off with 1984's THE DOG WHO STOPPED THE WAR. Part of the Tales for All series that also brought you THE GREAT LAND OF SMALL, THE DOG WHO STOPPED THE WAR is considered a classic in Quebec, Canada. It was the highest grossing movie in Canada in 1985 and, upon it's release on home video, was more popular than Star Wars in Quebec. THE DOG WHO STOPPED THE WAR follows a group of kids on their winter break
