À propos de cet audio

 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 Race 2000, Hellraiser, Heathers and Piranha. They were all made by New World Pictures.

In addition to talking about the films themselves, we talk with the Writers, Producers and Directors who worked with New World Pictures. The New World Pictures Podcast Art

  • Interview with writer/director/SFX artist Steven Kostanski (DEATHSTALKER, PSYCHO GOREMAN)

    Interview with writer/director/SFX artist Steven Kostanski (DEATHSTALKER, PSYCHO GOREMAN)
    Dec 11 2025
    We continue #DEATHcember with more love for DEATHSTALKER, writer, director, and special effects artist Steven Kostanski's newest film and reimagining of the sword and sorcery franchise produced by Roger Corman, the original of which was released by New World Pictures. Last week, we discussed the Daniel Bernhardt-starring film and this week we are talking to Kostanski himself about the making of the film, the state of indie filmmaking today, working with Slash as a producer and the co-writer of DEATHSTALKER's incredible theme song, the line of dialogue Patton Oswalt did NOT want to say, and Kostanski's body of work that includes PSYCHO GOREMAN, FRANKIE FREAKO, and MANBORG.

    We also talk about his days with Astron-6, the filmmaking collective that kickstarted the career of Kostanski and his compatriots Adam Brooks, Jeremy Gillespie, Matthew Kennedy, and Conor Sweeney, all of whom worked together on 2011's FATHER'S DAY and who often star or show up in Kostanski's films, including DEATHSTALKER. And if you wanted to know Kostanski's thoughts on the ROBOCOP animated series from New World Television, we got you covered on that, too.

    There are few filmmakers working today who are more successful in managing practical effects and genre storytelling than Kostanski and it was a thrill for us to discuss his work with him. Thanks to Steven for his time and all his movies and if you haven't yet watched DEATHSTALKER, it is available to rent from Shout! Studios and Raven Banner Entertainment! Go watch it!

    To keep up with Kostanski's work, follw his Instagram here.

  • Bonus Episode: Deathstalker (2025)

    Bonus Episode: Deathstalker (2025)
    Dec 4 2025
    We are kicking off #DEATHcember with a good old fashioned Bonus Episode. We're talking about DEATHSTAKER 2025, the reboot (?) or remake (?) of the 1983 New World Pictures classic (?) directed by Steven Kostanski (PSYCHO GORMAN, FRANKIE FREAKO).

    DEATHSTALKER stars "hunk of a man", Daniel Bernhardt (NOBODY), Patton Oswalt (RATATOUILLE) and Christina Orjalo (OLDER EVERY DAY) in a movie that we can only gush about, and we do A LOT of gushing. DEATHSTALKER is a thoroughly entertaining homage to the sword and sorcery movies of the 1980's complete with practical gore, wild creatures and a plot that you won't care about.

    In addition to talking about DEATHSTALKER, we introduce new ideas for The Semanticast, discuss 1978's Piranha, and Marc's old job at bargain-basement male escort service. There's a dome off. Erica breaks down the hottest Franco brothers. We talk Skyline Chili. This episode has something for everyone including DEATHSTALKER which you should rent or buy today. You can thank us later.

  • Nearly New World: The Drifter (1988)

    Nearly New World: The Drifter (1988)
    Nov 27 2025
    We close out #NewOIRvember 2 with a movie that New World Pictures didn't release, but they nearly could've if they hadn't chased off Roger Corman to start Concorde Pictures, where he released THE DRIFTER in 1988. starring Kim Delaney (New World's Tour of Duty) as hard-working designer who has a hard time driving from Los Angeles to San Francisco and back again, who meets a tall dark stranger in Miles O'Keeffe (ATOR, THE FIGHTING EAGLE, THE CARTEL) who - does he smell? He smells, right? He's a drifter, so...smelly is a big possibility, right? How dangerous is it to lose your sense of smell? We discuss!

    Written and directed by Larry Brand, who also acts in the movie, Brand's directorial debut, and also the debut of him writing, acting, and directing a movie as well, this also brings up the problems with conducting your business at the Oki Dog and giving family heirlooms to a stranger. Also, how important is project management? Why are people not going to movie theaters anymore? And, do cats like the ocean? THE DRIFTER brings up some serious and delicate topics, and we do our best to rip the door off of them all.

    So sit back and relax on that motel floor in the room you've just rented from some motel that is somewhere between the Bay Area and Los Angeles but also somehow near mountains, and enjoy this smoldering, sex-filled thriller that tears the lid off of doing your due diligence when hiring people. Background checks, folks! Don't be afraid of them!
