Description

JUNE GLOOM marches on and takes a dramatic (yet satisfying) turn as we discuss SAINT JACK, the film that saw director Peter Bogdanovich's return to Roger Corman filmmaking!  And joining us for this episode is the hilarious and insightful Ben Slater, who literally wrote the book on SAINT JACK with Kinda Hot: The Making of Saint Jack in Singapore! 

We ask Ben all the necessary insightful questions, like how was Cybill Shepherd involved in the film? How close was Orson Welles to directing it? And why is ENCINO MAN the best fish-out-of-water film?  Plus, we talk about how a James Bond was cast in the movie, how Singapore itself plays a role in the film, and whether New World Pictures successfully marketed the film.

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.
