The New World Pictures Podcast is dedicated to every movie released by New World Pictures.
Founded by the infamous Roger Corman, New World Pictures was responsible for the greatest genre films of the 1970's and 1980's. Remember all those movies that lived proudly in the back isles of the video store? Most of them were made by New World Pictures.
From Death Race 2000 to Hellraiser and Piranha to Heathers. We talk about them all. The things we loved and the things we hated along with the detailed history of each film's history and production.
Some movies are great. Some are bad. All of them are New World Pictures.

Ep. 80: Women in Cages
Join us as we kick off Prison March, an entire month dedicated to a few of New World's many, many, many women in prison films.
Our first Prison March selection is 1971's WOMEN IN CAGES which features sex at sea, organized crime, and a cock fight - all within the first six minutes!
The NWPP team will treat you like a dignitary as they walk you through important lessons to keep in mind should your untrustworthy boyfriend get you wrongfully imprisoned, such as: always double-check your sandwiches, remember that candlesticks are stronger than you think, don't play too rough with Pam Grier, and the Zulu Queen on-board activities are limited, so book early!
Tune in to this episode, or we'll send the mercenaries after you, and they will stop at nothing to find you! -
