Description

We talk with screenwriter Daniel Waters about his debut film HEATHERS, one of the last films released in theaters by New World Pictures! Our hilarious and wide-ranging discussion goes from Daniel's beginnings working on the South Bend sketch comedy show Beyond Our Control, to his move to Hollywood, where he watched many New World movies (especially his favorite, JAKE SPEED) and worked in a video store while writing HEATHERS. We dive into Daniel incredible career and especially HEATHERS - how it got started, Daniel's initial discussion with director Michael Lehmann, how strip crochet actually works, the various possible endings, and New World's botched release, which was only saved by a questionable VHS cover that helped spark a following, what the future holds for HEATHERS, and much more - as well as stories about THE ADVENTURES OF FORD FAIRLANE, DEMOLITION MAN, HUDSON HAWK, and more!  But will Daniel forgive Marc for trashing BATMAN RETURNS? Listen to find out!

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.
