The New World Pictures Podcast

It's that time of year again, the time Marc dreads: Marc's Miserable Marvelous May, where we torture the non-superhero loving Marc with all the Marvel content produced while New World Pictures owned Marvel! In previous years we discussed The Incredible Hulk, the Punisher, even Power Pack, but now it's time to discuss the misfits of Marvel, The X-Men for our 4th installment of making Marc's life a superpowered living hell!
In order to properly discuss this merry band of mutants, we brought back one of our most powerful previous guests, the hilarious writer and performer Peter Fluet! You may remember home from Episode 33: STAR CRYSTAL! Peter brings his deep Marvel knowledge to the pod to help us make Marc Miserable.
This original pilot with 1989's PRYDE OF THE X-MEN was a pilot that didn't quite kickstart the X-Men Animated Series, but was certainly a precursor, though this version of the X-Men is slightly more... Australian than it needed to be. And also maybe a little pervy. Join us as we discuss the amazing theme song, the nostalgic animation, the wild collection of characters and their vocal choices. Don't worry Marc is still miserable, and we'll spend the month making sure he stays that way!

We continue to celebrate #100YearsofCorman by pushing the boundaries of our "Nearly New World" sub-series to 1993, when Roger Corman decided to beat JURASSIC PARK at its own game and made his own dinosaur movie, CARNOSAUR! Joining us for this episode is author Joseph R. Palinkas, the writer of the new book, History of Carnosaur, which delves into the entire CARNOSAUR franchise of films, which also includes DINOSAUR ISLAND and Jim Wynorski's RAPTOR.
First, we discuss how Joseph discovered the CARNOSAUR franchise and his decision to write the book, the difficulties of writing a book about the CARNOSAUR movies, and then we dive into the first movie, writer/director Adam Simon's original CARNOSAUR, starring Diane Ladd, Raphael Sbarge, Jennifer Runyon, and Harrison Page! We talk chicken eggs, shelf-stable pie, and why it's important for a company not to leave the mad doctor they've just hired alone and with no oversight. Plus, Bobcats, hippies, and the scenes that didn't make the theatrical cut!
Don't miss this dive into CARNOSAUR with someone who literally wrote the book on the subject! Then, go buy Joseph's book!
