2019/11/11

On this episode of the B-Movie Cast Mary and Nic are joined by special guest Matt Kowalski. Matt knows a thing or two about Eastern Europe and that’s good because this episode we’re going behind the Iron Curtain to check out “Viy”. Made in 1967 It’s the first real horror film to come out of the Soviet Union. Based on a story by Nikolai Gogol, “Viy” tells the tale of a priest who must spend 3 nights in a tomb with a dead body.

2019/09/22

The B-Movie Cast knows you didn’t see this one coming… because it’s invisible! Last episode we looked at the Universal Horror classic “The Invisible Man”. This episode Mary, Nic and Juan tack the Japanese “Invisible Man” (A.K.A. – The Invisible Avenger). This 1954 flick is from TOHO Studios and if you haven’t heard of the film before it may be because another TOHO flick came out that year that sort of stomped on all the competition- that film was “Gojira” (Godzilla- King of the Monsters).

This time on the B-Movie Cast the Mary and Nic are joined by filmmaker Brian Cunningham. Brian has never seen the 1933 Universal horror classic “The Invisible Man” so we decided it was time for him to see it. Though seeing “The Invisible Man” is tough, what with him being invisible and all, but we managed… I hear you if you shoot ink everywhere he’s not that tough. Anyway, the B-Movie Cast is happy to have Brian in for this episode and we’re excited to be tackling another classic from the Universal

Episode 424: 3 Dev Adam- AKA- The Turkish Spiderman

B-Movie Cast ·

2019/07/23

The B-Movie Cast is back and this time we’re taking on a real Turkish delight… “3 Dev Adam”. This film (also known as “3 Giant Men” and “The Turkish Spiderman”) is a real doozy! Someone forgot to tell Turkey that most of the world recognizes copyright law. So Turkey’s film industry has a bit of a reputation for ripping off western hit films… think “Turkish Star Wars”, “Turkish Rambo”, etc.… In this cinematic spectacle, Spiderman isn’t your friendly neighborhood teen hero. He’s a sadistic
