The New World Pictures Podcast

In this episode, we talk about a holiday classic.  While this movie doesn't have anything to do with the holidays, it explores all the traditions of the holidays.  Traditions like getting wasted on carnival moonshine and going to a strip club complete with marionettes and, of course, letting your 1-year-old child wander the land on his own.  But, most of all, this film dares to ask the most common...

It's a very special episode of The New World Pictures Podcast.  We look back and reflect on the highs and the lows of 2021.  Ryan is forced to make a difficult decision.  Erica struggles to say "blu-ray".  Marc makes a shocking confession.  And your hosts come face to face with the sad reality that they cannot make good sports analogies.  

We discuss 1976's Cannonball! and ask all the important questions, such as: how tight were those pants?

Vinegar Syndrome's Black Friday sale is right around the corner and we share our recommendations on what to buy.  Erica debuts her Christopher Walken impression and we announce our soon to be made Only Fans production.

1, 2, 3, 4! We invited author and Ramones of the Day co-host Phillip Mottaz to join us to discuss 1979's ROCK 'N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL! We dive deep into this New World classic, and take you behind the scenes for the New World scripting process, the Ramones of it all, and you'll finally learn what U.S. Penal Code 844 is all about!  Plus, for the first time, someone wins the episode!  Who will it be? L...

Special effects artist turned writer and director Gary Jones has a new exploitation movie out called ESCAPE FROM DEATH BLOCK 13 starring Charles Bronson!  Well, Robert Bronzi, but close enough! We talk to him about his new movie, plus his long career which started in Michigan working alongside Sam Raimi on EVIL DEAD II and ARMY OF DARKNESS and led to working on John Woo's HARD TARGET as well as so...

Jessica Young from The Rants and Raves Podcast joins us to discuss 1987's Flowers in the Attic, written and directed by Jeffrey Bloom, and adapted from the V.C. Andrews' novel of the same title. None of us were prepared for the many life lessons the film would teach us.  For instance, did you know that kids need food to survive?  And that you shouldn't store your arsenic in your pantry?  We sure d...

We have truly invited hell into our lives because we watched every HELLRAISER movie and now we're ranking them! Did you know there are 10 Hellraiser movies? Not all of us did! Will you agree with our rankings?  Are you a bad boy? No matter what your answer, you don't want to have #badboyregrets and miss this episode!

We invited our first guest, Justin Grams, to celebrate our TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY by talking about HELLRAISER.  A lot has been said about this movie but that didn't stop us from saying a whole lot more. For example, is Frank hot or not?  How hard is it to open the box?  Was blood the only fluid extracted from Julia's victims?  Turns out, there is still a lot to discuss.

We share our top five favorite horror franchises with mixed results.  Some of our picks garner universal praise.  Other picks are relegated to endless chastising.  It's a real mixed bag that includes a surprise or two.  Well, at least they were surprises to us.  

To start off the spooky season, we bring you 1988's GHOST TOWN!  Directed by Richard McCarthy (well, Richard Governor as far as the DGA is concerned), this film stars Catherine Hickland as a woman who abandons her wedding and is kidnapped by old-timey ghosts and Franc Luz as a semi-law-abiding deputy who tries to save her.  And trust us, you've never met ghosts like this!  Seriously, they often do...

We talk with writer Janis Hirsch about her incredible comedy writing career, starting with working for the National Lampoon, then completely rewriting Girls Just Want to Have Fun, and moving on to It's the Garry Shandling Show, Murphy Brown, Square Pegs, and more!  Learn about how what a sweetheart John Belushi was, why people stranded on a desert island look so good, how late-night rewrites work...

 This episode asks an important question: "are high-waisted undies still a thing?"  We also talk about SLUGS, the 1988 horror film from director Juan Piquer Simón, based on the novel by Shaun Hutson, that sees the town of Ashton tormented by irradiated slugs out to kill! Well, eat, but it's essentially the same thing! But does the town deserve it?  After all, they don't treat their drunks very wel...

We start a new band with director, writer, producer Joel Soisson and talk about his new movie MY BEST WORST ADVENTURE.  But there is so much more.  Joel talks about his early days on HAMBONE and HILLIE, the genesis of THE PROPHECY, and how BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE almost wasn't released.  It's a fascinating interview and our new band, LATE STAGE HELLRAISERS, is going to be huge.  Also, a...

Imagine a world where alien creatures own humans like pets and everyone speaks French.  Also, nothing else in this world makes any sense.  There are sex orgies.  Alien food comes in the form of floating air pockets.  Meditation takes the form of an acid trip. Aliens use vacuum cleaners and bowling balls as military equipment.  We could go on and on but suffice it say, this is truly a FANTASTIC pla...

We talk with director, writer, and producer, Harley Cokeliss, about his work on two New World Pictures films - BATTLETRUCK and BLACK MOON RISING.  We also talk with him about his work on EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, what it was like to work with Burt Reynolds on MALONE, and his journey to find the lost print of his horror film, DREAM DEMON.  Unfortunately, we forgot to pitch STEAMIN' while talking with Ha...

In this episode, we discuss 1985's Making Contact aka Joey, from director Roland Emmerich (Independence Day) which follows a little boy who makes friends with an alien.  No, sorry, a doll.  A ventriloquist's doll.  Because his house is haunted.  No, sorry, that's the house nearby, which is owned by the Bates family.  Okay, the film is a sum of its parts (which are many), and is filled with more 80...

We're going THROUGH THE FIRE to enjoy a KILLER'S DELIGHT! And while we're here, let's Feast some DOUBLE DRAGON while we're at this MORTUARY!  Also, will Marc ever watch BLACK WIDOW? Is Clu Gulager a real name or a nickname? Is Alfred Molina actually Gabriel Byrne? Or are they both Bill Paxton? And can you tell Scott Wolf from Scott Baio? Listen to find out!   

The Oil War has come and gone, leaving the world a disaster unless you know how to make fuel out of chicken poop, or are welcomed into a friendly yet horny enclave of survivors, or if you own the biggest semi-truck in all of New Zealand. So sit back and pour yourself a glass of Cognac while we discuss director Harley Cokeliss's BATTLETRUCK aka WARLORD OF THE 21ST CENTURY and find out if you just m...

When you get the chance to buy three post-apocalyptic Italian hard-to-find classics you don't hesitate.  And so we did.  For you.  Our fans.  We discuss WARRIORS OF THE YEAR 2072, ENDGAME, and RAIDERS OF ATLANTIS.  Each one is amazing in its own way.  Also, Marc discusses his tennis elbow ailment.  What more could you want?

Are you considering the glamorous world of modeling?  Before you do, please listen to this episode.  We watched Covergirl and learned a ton.  For example, you will live in a lavish dormitory in NY where you'll need to share a single with your model friends?  You will get in huge bubble bath fights.  Your cocktails will be served by robots.  And, worst of all, you'll be forced to date men that look...

Our new bonus episode really goes for it because we're all doing REALLY GOOD! We discuss our picks of the month (coincidentally, both available from Vinegar Syndrome), some re-watches and then we re-cast THE CONJURING franchise before tackling the new HALLOWEEN releases from Shout Factory, where Marc asks, "which HALLOWEEN sequel have you seen the least?"

James Lawrence of the The Iron Sequel joins us to discuss the hixploitation film BLACK OAK CONSPIRACY!

We like to think every bonus episode is special, but this one extra special.  We talk with actor, director, producer, & musician, Courtney Gains, about his incredible career and the incredible roles he's played over the years.  When we released our first episode (CHILDREN OF THE CORN), we would never have imagined we would speak to one of the most important actors from that film.  We discuss h...

Esquire writer and podcast host Dave Holmes (Homophilia, Troubled Waters) joins us to talk about the best time of year, Fraternity Vacation Season. Starring Stephen Geoffreys, Cameron Dye, Sheree J. Wilson and some other guy too (Timothy something?) in a quest to either win a jacuzzi, or a bet, or defeat the Police Chief of Palm Springs (you decide), we discuss every aspect of this 1985 comedy inc...
