The New World Pictures Podcast

Writer and Director, Matthew Goodhue, joins us to talk about his suspenseful new movie, WOE, now available on all VOD platforms! We talk about how the film's story came about, James Russo's performance as Uncle Pete, and the importance of coffee in movies.  It's all the important questions you'd expect us to ask plus a few of Erica's Stupid Questions. 

Omega Syndrome is a lot of things.  It's a kidnapping movie.  It's about a writer going up against an underground white supremacist group in Los Angeles.  It's also about cottage cheese diets, the danger of eating too much sugar, and the value of the yellow pages.   What it's not is a high-octane action movie.  

Matt Mercer and Graham Skipper stop by to talk about throwing up after fighting, peeing in jars, why fake blood tastes great, D cameras, and, oh yeah, Dementia Part II, now available on VOD! 

One of the only New Word Pictures movies to not make money.  It's easy to see why - it's about cockfighting.  When you make a movie about cockfighting, you have to show a lot of cocks fighting which makes it a hard watch. On a positive note, we learned Eric used to love The Squirrel Nut Zippers and Ryan knows everything there is to know about St Elsewhere.  So, all is not lost.  Enjoy.  

Director Maureen Bharoocha talks about her new arm wrestling buddy comedy GOLDEN ARM.

The phrase, "don't judge a movie by its cover" has never so aptly applied to a New World picture.  Whatever expectations you have about this movie are wrong.  We are joined by Actor and Writer, Peter Fluet, as we break down a movie whose "plot twist" would leave M. Night Shyamalan scratching his head.  

We put PSYCHO GOREMAN in the spotlight - did the gang hate it or love it?  They also discuss MY DEAR KILLER, part of Vinegar Syndrome's Forgotten Gialli series, the 1982 slasher THE FOREST, and NOBODY!  Then the discussion somehow evolves into ranking Adam Sandler comedies.  Don't ask us how.

Return of the Killer Tomatoes.  Is this movie part of the Facts of Life Universe?  Maybe.  Is this a hilarious tourist guide for the sights and sounds of San Diego?  Possibly.  Is America's Cup the NASCAR of the sea?  Very likely.  We discuss all of this plus Skippy and Biff, Balboa Park, and pretty much all things San Diego.  This one's for you, America's Finest City!

We put a spotlight on 1986's Never Too Young to Die, yet another film that proves director Gil Bettman's greatness.

This week's workout is director Joseph Losey's adaptation of Nell Dunn's play, a movie filled with Academy Award nominated actresses Vanessa Redgrave and Sarah Miles, nudity, emotional breakdowns, balloons, and even more nudity!  Are you looking for huge gains or is it just time to give your dirty butt a good scrub?  Either way, let's share some steam!  

In honor of Roger Corman's 95th birthday, we discuss Corman's first Edgar Allan Poe directorial effort,1960's The Fall of the House of Usher. And also The Masque of the Red Death. And also The Thing.  And practical effects. And why Roger stopped directing.  We cover a lot of ground because, well, so did Roger.  Happy birthday, big guy!

We are joined by Producer/Director/Writer Dunbar Dicks (The List Show) to talk about Samantha Fox - the world's deadliest assassin.  She's a master of disguise and a black belt in Karate.  She will do whatever it takes to destroy her victim including getting naked.  A lot.  She also loves a good cockfight.  So there's that too.  But is she Too Hot to Handle?  

Did you once own a dojo that was taken over by an International Crime Syndicate?  Do you like to take long drives from Los Angeles to Seattle and back again just to blow off some steam?  Have you ever trained with the ghost of Bruce Lee?  Do you like movies where the star of the film only appears for 15 minutes of an 85 minute running time?  Then you will love No Retreat No Surrender .  Two of us...

We fill some holes.... in our Romero filmography.  We talk about 1971's There's Always Vanilla and 1981's Knightriders  We also talk about movies we think deserve a proper blu-ray release and how to properly apply the terms "aughts" and "90s".  

From Cyndi Lauper's voice to the big screen, Girls Just Want to Have Fun has delighted audiences since it debuted in 1985, including our special guest Jessica Young, co-host of the Rants 'n Raves podcast!  From wet-dogging to pill-popping, we dive deep into this Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt 1980's hit! So put some jeans on just in case this episode inspires you to dance!

We've seen a lot of movies but nothing could have prepared us for Crystal Heart.  We could have talked about this movie for days.  All you need to know is it stars Tawny Kitaen in a command performance and Lee Curreri who... pretends to play a synthesizer?  They fall in love but can't touch each other because Lee's character has some auto-immune issue?  Or his parents are messing with him.  Either...

It's time for another bonus episode which means it's time to discuss why people love to rub fresh blood on their fingers and how criminals always know each other's addresses!  We also talk about the films UNDERWATER (2020), CRITTERS 2 (1988), SOUL SURFER (2011), A BLADE IN THE DARK (1983), and L.A. WARS (1993). 

Kicking off 2021 with one of San Diego's all-time film classics.  Some call this a slasher.  Some call it a comedy.  Others call it a scathing commentary on opportunistic investors that prey on those facing an unjust tax burden. And, somehow, it manages to be none of those things.  If you grew up in Fallbrook, CA, this is the movie for you.

For our first episode of 2021, we discuss the recent films we have been watching including: Police are Blundering in the Dark (Vinegar Syndrome's Forgotten Gialli Volume 1), Lucio Fulci's Conquest, Killer Crocodile 2 (Severin), Deadly Games, American Rickshaw (Cauldron), Freaky, WW84, Soul, and Erica forces Ryan to reveal what comfort movie he has been watching lately. 

According to this movie, Christmas is a time for children.  Who knew?  It's also potentially a time for magic and wonder but who's to say?  One thing we know is something wonderous did not happen in this movie.  But Home for Christmas features an angry Mickey Rooney so that's sure to bring on some level of holiday cheer.  Right?

It's a b-b-b-bonus episode!  We talk about Vinegar Syndrome's "Forgotten Gialli" release, The Killer is One of Thirteen, and the remaster of Zombi 5: Killing Birds.  We also talk about mouth pockets (the forgotten pocket) and new strategies for staying cool in bed.

Two academy award winners running for their lives in a classic 80's buddy action movie.  We're talking about Certain Fury.  That's not a typo.  It is not  A Certain Fury.  It's just Certain Fury.   We talk about this and debate an honest question - was this movie written by a child?

We take a break to talk about Blood Rage, Killer Crocodile and the La Casa Universe.  Then get into Space Raiders and the sustainability of modern filmmaking with Tarik Davis (The Amber Ruffin Show, Freestyle Love Supreme and the Brothers from Another Planet podcast).  Enjoy.

If you ever cast members from Home Alone appeared in a horror movie, wonder no more.  We present you with C.H.U.D.  Your new holiday favorite.  We are joined by Film Maker, Actor and C.H.U.D aficionado, Matt Mercer.  

We dive into the new Friday the 13th box set and discuss our favorite 3 movies from the series.  The selections might surprise you.  They surprised us and we know each other.
