We kick off #New-woirvember 2 with an interview with one of the coolest people we have ever met, writer/director Eric Blakeney, who wrote for New World Television's series Crime Story (produced by Michael Mann) as well as the TV movie GENERATION X, the first live-action adaptation of the X-Men from Marvel Comics. Eric takes us through his career, which included stints on the TV series Wiseguy, writing and then running 21 Jump Street, creating the character and spin-off Booker, and writing and directing his own feature, 2000's GUN SHY, starring Liam Neeson and Sandra Bullock.

Ep. 152: Under the Boardwalk featuring Justin Grams
We continue HAHAugust 2: Double Take with an extremely underseen gem from the New World catalog, the Los Angeles set surf dramedy UNDER THE BOARDWALK, directed by Fritz Kiersch (CHILDREN OF THE CORN, TUFF TURF). Originally set to be released in 1988, New World eventually put this out at the same time as HEATHERS, the final two theatrical releases for the company.
