Description

If HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN didn't start #SciFiJuly with enough of a bang, here's an epic interview with the film's co-director and editor, R.J. Kizer, who got his start editing for Roger Corman and New World Pictures with 1979's UP FROM THE DEPTHS (which we covered earlier this year) and went on to work on BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS, SPACE RAIDERS, GALAXY OF TERROR, and so much more!  We discuss the difficulties of these productions, including how Corman's vacation put pressure on the delivery time of UP FROM THE DEPTHS and how much PIRANHA was an influence, how BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS is a RASHOMON event, and how our Nearly New World selection of METEOR influenced the creation of HAMBONE AND HILLIE!  Plus, we will talk about ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, which utilized Corman's special effects crew from the Lumberyard, GALAXY EXPRESS 999, ANDROID, and Kizer's still-active career as an audio editor for X-MEN movies and many, many others!

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.
