Description

The end of #Corntober arrives with an epic interview with producer, director and writer Donald P. Borchers, who was a Senior Vice President of Production at New World Pictures after Roger Corman sold the company. His career took off fast producing ANGEL and CHILDREN OF THE CORN and that's where this part of our conversation is focused, though we also dig in to his career pre-New World, which includes stops with Debra Hill, Sandy Howard, and working with Chuck Norris! Enjoy this wide-ranging conversation with someone who saw it all at New World Pictures!

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.
