Description

#Corntober continues as we turn our attention to the curious world of viticulture with 1989's THE VINEYARD.  As it turns out, making the best wine in the world is hard.  It takes more than a great crop.  You need to have incredibly loyal staff, an associate's degree in magic, and the blood of aspiring twenty-something actors.  Who knew?  We sure didn't.  

James Hong (BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, KUNG FU PANDA) stars as Dr. Elson Po, a world-renowned winemaker with a bit of a checkered past and a troubled relationship with his mother.  When he isn't making wine, Dr. Po enjoys hosting costume parties, playing with voodoo dolls, and castrating anyone that tries to have sex with Mrs. Dr. Po.  He also has a pesky zombie problem on his property and an unruly gang chained up in the basement.  But before he can tackle these problems, he needs to find a way to satisfy a Mayan god so he will have eternal life.  Making wine is HARD.

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.
