Bonus Episode: Interview with Editor Barbara Pokras (SUMMER SCHOOL TEACHERS, FADE TO BLACK)

We close out #PrisonMarch 2: Second Offense with an interview
with someone who there at New World from the very beginning:
editor Barbara Pokras! After graduating from USC (where she went
to school with Dan O'Bannon with whom she would work on RETURN OF
THE LIVING DEAD), Barbara found her way to Roger Corman's
newly-formed New World Pictures, where she went to work dubbing
voices and assisting director Stephanie Rothman on New World's
first ever movie, THE STUDENT NURSES.

From there, Barbara worked on a variety of movies Roger shot in
the Phillipines, like NIGHT OF THE COBRA WOMAN, THE HOT BOX, and
THE BIG BUST-OUT! We discuss what it was like to work on those
movies, how Barbara worked her way up to joining the Editor's
Union and landing a job at Cop Rock, the short-lived police
procedural musical, and why it was her favorite job. We also
discuss I ESCAPED FROM DEVIL'S ISLAND, TOO HOT TO HANDLE, and why
Wonder Woman was not her favorite project to work on.

We could not have been more thrilled to talk with Barbara Pokras,
one of Corman's original film school graduates, and we know
you'll love our discussion as much as we did! And when you're
done, don't forget to pick up her book, Feeding Mrs. Moskowitz,
here.
