Every week we talk about films from New World Pictures and our favorite genre films from today and yesterday. audioboom.com/channels/5008832
(3)

We also talk with the Producers, Directors and Writers who worked behind the scenes at New World Pictures.

23/07/2024

We continue presents with 1988's IN THE AFTERMATH! Never heard of it? You're not alone! A mixture of Mamoru Oshii's 1985 anime ANGEL'S EGG and live-action, dystopian footage directed by New World's then Head of post-production, Carl Colpaert, the film is a wild mix that skipped theatrical release and went straight to video near the end of the 2nd era of New World Pictures.

Joining us for this episode is returning guest Dirk Marshall, who we had to have on after he covered ANGEL'S EGG on the VH US podcast (https://www.vh-us.com/). What did Dirk think of the blend of the two films? Listen to find out! Did Erica realize it was two films? Listen and find out! What is Marc's pet peeve about July 4th parties? You'll have to listen to find out!

Our Presents rolls on with 1988's IN THE AFTERMATH! Never heard of it? You're not alone! A mixture of Mamoru Oshii's 1985 anime ANGEL'S EGG and live-action footage directed by New World's then Head of post-production, Carl Colpaert, the film is a wild mix that skipped theatrical release and went straight to video near the end of the 2nd era of New World Pictures. We brought guest Dirk Marshall back to help make sense of the madness considering he recently discussed ANGEL'S EGG on his podcast, VH US. But can anyone make sense of this film? Listen and find out!

11/07/2024

We continue with Presents with a Nearly New World that is very close to the hearts of (most of) the hosts of this show: John Carpenter's ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK. No, this was not released by New World Pictures, but, fret not, we will explain how we fit into our Nearly New World series.

Will the hosts gush about the movie? Yes! Will they offer criticisms? Kind of, a little! They will also discuss why this movie is so important to (most of) them, offer their own Letterboxd synopses, and of course, compare the original to ESCAPE FROM L.A.

04/06/2024

We have a really fun episode coming soon that will wrap up Marc's Miserable MARVELous May II.

While you wait with baited breath, checkout our episode on 1988's THE PUNISHER. For this Dolph Lundgren classic(?), we brought out the big guns with our friend and New World Super Fan Justin Grams!

Will Marc withstand the very first Punisher comic book adaptation? Will he finally like a Marvel movie?

Anything can happen when you combine producer Robert Mark Kamen (KARATE KID/THE TRANSPORTER) and director Mark Goldblatt (DEAD HEAT)! Justin, Ryan, and Erica will try to keep him entertained with a possible Punisher musical, the lowdown on New World Pictures (Australia), all the deleted footage from the workprint, and the ultimate cure for sewer throat! But will he be able to look past the "American accents" of the Australian actors? Listen to find out!

03/06/2024

If you haven't yet listened to our Roger Corman tribute episode, we highly recommend giving it a listen. We are lucky to be joined by director/editors Allan Arkush (HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD, ROCK 'N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL), Allan Holzman (FORBIDDEN WORLD), and Tony Randel (HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER 2) to discuss their careers and memories working with Roger. We hope you enjoy this tribute. Hail to the king!

16/05/2024

In this episode we continue the triumphant return of Marc's Miserable MARVELous May, where we talk about the Marvel movies and TV shows made by New World Pictures. We have return guest Tommy Bechtold from our DEF-CON 4 episode to talk about 1989's TRIAL OF THE INCREDIBLE HULK. Starring Bill Bixby, and Lou Ferrigno, and a special appearance by Rex Smith as Daredevil. Tune in for exclusive scoops, classic sayings, and stories so incredible you have to hear them to believe them.

08/05/2024

It's the return of Marc's Miserable MARVELous May where we talk about the Marvel movies and TV shows made by New World Pictures. We've invited Peter Fluet from Ep. 85: Generation X and Ep. 33: Star Crystal to kick off this special month with the memorable yet hard-to-find TV pilot, Power Pack.

This episode is full of New World Pictures Podcast "firsts". It's the first Marvel movie or TV show that none of us had seen before. It's the first movie or TV show we've discussed with a runtime of under 30 minutes, but that didn't stop us for talking about it for a full hour!

This is a really fun episode and goes places you won't expect.

17/04/2024

It's our 2nd week of where we continue to celebrate the TV movies made by New World Television. This week we immerse ourselves in the exciting/dangerous/s*xy?/cigarette fueled 1986 made for TV vigilante-action film GLADIATOR. Not that Gladiator! Starring Ken Wahl, Nancy Allen, and Robert Culp and surprise (spoiler) appearance by Rick Dees!

Join the Marc, Erica, and Ryan as they reminisce about a simpler time when seat belts were optional, Weinerschnitzel included "Der" in the title, and soccer refs needed no prior experience or knowledge of the game. Marc teases out a possible fall lineup for NWPP and resurfaces a deep musical cut. Plus we learn serious impact smoking has on your ability to discern food flavors. They don't make TV movies like this anymore!

10/04/2024

It's where we celebrate the TV movies made by New World Television. We're kicking things off with 1989's False Witness starring Phylicia Rashad (The Cosby Show) and Philip Michael Thomas (Miami Vice).

What False Witness lacks in real suspense is more than made up for with uncomfortable shoulder kissing. We learn that Marc doesn't recognize the difference between CSI and Law & Order, Erica talks about the many musical roles Philip Michael Thomas was up for, Ryan struggles to pronounce "Phylicia" and we debate which is the best Miami Tourism Board theme song.

01/04/2024

Get your preorder for the 2k remaster of The Great Land of Small by .

Why are we telling you this? Well, for one, existing copies look terrible. Also, it's a wild, surreal spin on the Wizard of Oz with Cirque du Soleil performers. Finally, our episode is included as a special feature! Order now!

29/03/2024

We aren't always together in the same state but when we are, we podcast.

20/03/2024

The actual poster for HEART (1987) and the poster as generated by AI.

19/03/2024

We continue with 1987's HEART starring Brad Davis (MIDNIGHT EXPRESS), Frances Fisher (UNFORGIVEN) and Steve Buscemi (EVERY OTHER MOVIE YOU LIKE).

At the heart of HEART lies Eddie, a boxer beset by misfortune who seeks the elusive "big win." More than just possessing a formidable right hook, Eddie is distinguished by his immense drive and unwavering heart. Get it?

While Eddie gets himself into fighting shape, we talk about smelling salts, difficult breakups and the value of having a generous vacation policy. Marc uses the opportunity to talk about another unrelated movie he likes and Erica brings up a new angle for her eventually-to-be-made movie, STEAMIN'. This episode has something for everyone.

06/03/2024

Welcome to our first episode of where we will talk about all the sports themed movies released by New World Pictures.

Kicking off the month is 1979's THE PRIZE FIGHTER, starring funny guys Tim Conway and Don Knotts in their first non-Disney pairing! Join us for this family-friendly comedic romp (sorry kids, no t***y count) as we debate such hot topics as carnivals versus fairs, whether LITTLE NICKY is a good movie, and we take a deep dive into the pros and cons of investing in glue. Also, Marc gets pi**ed when this movie turns into a musical.

So many things you will love, and perhaps some things you'll agree with us, you hated! All this and more in a sporty episode you will not want to miss.

27/02/2024

We wrap up our celebrated with 1988's Hell Hunters directed by Ernst Ritter von Theumer. Hell Hunters follows a team of N**i hunters - Maud Adams (Oc*****sy), Candice Daly (The Young and the Restless), and Romulo Arantes (Blame it on Rio) - as they attempt to stop a former N**i played by Stewart Granger (King Solomon's Mines) from unleashing a deadly poison that will turn people into zombies.

Take away the N**i angle and Hell Hunters sounds surprisingly similar to the John Stamos / Gene Simmons masterpiece, "Never Too Young to Die". If you thought that movie was h***y, this movie takes it to a whole new level. You see, the jungle is so full of life because it's so h***y and our team of N**i hunters spend a lot of time in the jungle. They also attempt to make sweet, sweet love under a gushing waterfall in what might be the best(?) s*x scene we've seen since Crystal Heart.

Erica also makes a compelling case that spreadable butter is the ultimate aphrodisiac. We talk a lot about spreadable butter and unibrow guy and loose airport security during the 1980s. Like Hell Hunters, this episode goes to a lot of unexpected places.

20/02/2024

We continue with director Bruce Beresford's BREAKER MORANT, which covers the very well-known (to Americans) Second Boer War. Spoiler, we knew next to nothing about the Second Boer War going into this episode which becomes glaringly obvious

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.

30/01/2024

We're kicking off (the month we talk about war movies made by ) because Marc didn't pay attention to the release schedule. Oops. Oh well.

If you've seen 1983's LAST PLANE OUT then you know there is a lot to talk about with this one.

If you haven't seen it, no problem, we can fill you in. Many flights are taken. Even more are missed. There is a romance (kind of), people okay chess for s*x and important plot points are explained while two people take a long jog. All this while the Sandinista threatens to take over Nicaragua.

09/01/2024

25/12/2023

Marc's wife joined our photoshoot of the latest in Christmas fashions. Modelling agents, our contact info is in the bio.

25/12/2023

Is Hellbound: Hellraiser 2 a Christmas movie? Not technically, but on December 23, 1988, New World Pictures released the best Hellraiser sequel (according to Marc), thus creating 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?

Happy holidays, merry Christmas and happy New Year from the New World Pictures Podcast.

22/12/2023

Starts Tomorrow!!.....in 1988.

20/12/2023

The AMC Americana 8 has a banger of a lineup. Which movie are you seeing?

19/12/2023

continues its brutality with a suspense thriller based on a true story with APPRENTICE TO MURDER!

Follow hunky, star student Chad Lowe as he hides from rabid dogs, tans some hides while shirtless, sketches Mia Sara, and learns what he can from the mysterious Donald Sutherland.

Join us as we scratch the surface of what it means to practice Pow Wow, finally settle the score on which Baldwin brother is the s*xiest, and explore the unique experience of going "under under".

12/12/2023

continues with 1989's HELLGATE starring Ron Palillo (Welcome Back Kotter) and a group of actors who weren't in Welcome Back Kotter as students (?) whose weekend getaway turns to terror when they're lured to a ghost town (?) called Hellgate.

We talk about the sadly overlooked traveling model industry, the lasting appeal of 1950's diners, and the challenges with using metal plates instead of band aids. We also talk about bo**rs more in this episode than ever before so you have that to look forward to.

We also debate whether Josie (the lead ghost in the movie) is trying to seduce Matt (Ron Palillo) for love or just so that he'll take over her daily chores. She is the laziest ghost we've ever seen.

06/12/2023

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 is so evil he chooses to drive across the country instead of using his power of flight. That's bad ass.

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 squirrels. Totally bad ass.

Along the way, we discuss THE GREAT OUTDOORS, growing up on a film set, and the delicious menu at Black Angus! Because Black Angus is bad ass.

28/11/2023

All good things must come to an end and we say goodbye to with 1986's 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.

We push the limits of what we mean by "nearly New World" with this bonus episode. 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 103.5 hosted by Erica Sherrica

Dorm rooms

Erica's sleeping pillow rules

Mama's Family

Weekend-long college parties

The cooling effect of ceiling fans

Robocop 3

Night Zoo

There's something for everyone.

22/11/2023

While your friends and family are watching football this Thanksgiving, you can be listening to us talk about 1972’s Night of the Cobra Woman.

We continue with a movie that's got a real bite. Ahem. This movie has everything - monkeys, eagles, and, believe it or not, cobras! Oh my, you say? Oh yessssssss, we say!

We also talk about Night Zoo and Hellraiser so it's kind of like a triple header.

15/11/2023

Which movie would you go to see?
