In this episode of the B-Movie Cast, Mary and Nic are joined by our resident guru of Eastern European and Russian history, Matt Kowalski! Matt is joining us to take a deep dive into the world of Rasputin… well at least according to Hammer Studio’s 1966 film: “Rasputin, The Mad Monk”. Seems this historical flick is even less history-based than many, but with good reason! So, grab yourself a glass of vodka and get ready to go a little mad with “Rasputin, The Mad Monk”!

The B-Movie Cast is back! In this episode, Mary and Nic are joined by Eric Brooks. Eric is our resident Egyptologist and Indiana Jones cosplayer, so we decided to check out a recommendation of his: the 1954 Paramount adventure film “The Secret of the Incas”. Watch as Charlton Heston shows us what Indiana Jones would be like if Indy was a greedy, womanizing, con-man… and yet Nicole Maurey still wants to find his treasure!

The B-Movie Cast is back with a very special episode. In January 2021 actor John Richardson passed from Covid-19. John was a friend of cast favorite, Mark Mawston. Mark asked if we could do a show dedicated to John and look at one of the actor’s favorite films: “Black Sunday” (AKA “The Mask of The Demon”). As a special treat, Mark arranged for John’s former domestic partner (no they were never married) two-time Bond Girl and Hammer Glamour Queen Martine Beswick! Martine shares stories of her time

The B-Movie Cast is back and this week Mary, Nic, and Juan are taking a trip south of the border for a classic Mexican horror film: “El Fantasma del Convento”- “The Phantom of the Convent”. This is considered to be one of the first true horror films from Mexican cinema and it’s quite a treat, even if the ‘convent’ is full of monks… not nuns… So grab a Cerveza and get ready for the new episode of the B-Movie Cast!

Episode 462: 3615 Code Père Noël (AKA- Deadly Games)

2020/12/24

Merry Christmas B-Movie Cast fans! This episode has a special holiday treat from France: “Deadly Games” AKA “3615 Code Père Noël”. It’s the film that we’re pretty sure John Hughes watched in 1989 and said “let’s do that only with 3 Stooges humor instead of murder”. It’s “Home Alone” on steroids and a first for Mary and Juan. Now let’s see if Nic’s winning streak will continue, Mary liked “Tremors” and “Big Trouble in Little China”, but can Nic really pick three in a row that Mary doesn’t hate? Tune

Episode 461: Big Trouble In Little China

B-Movie Cast ·

2020/12/21

The B-Movie Cast is back! Mary and Nic are joined by Mark Mawston and this week we’re checking out a John Carpenter classic: “Big Trouble in Little China”! This 1986 20th Century Fox release was, like many of Carpenter’s films, not a box office success, but quickly developed a cult following and became a hit on home video. So get ready to dive into long-haul trucking, Kung-Fu, Chinese mysticism, and more snappy dialogue than you can shake a six-demon bag at as the B-Movie Cast checks out “Big

Hey B-Movie Cast fans in this episode Mary, Nic and special guest Brian Cunningham take a trip to Perfection, Nevada to see what’s shaking with the 1990 monster flick “Tremors”. It’s a personal favorite of Brian and Nic’s which we discovered Mary hadn’t seen before! “Tremors” is an ode to classic sci-fi/horror movies with just the right blend of humor and horror. The film features snappy dialogue and loveable characters including Val and Earl (Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward). So grab a beer, but watch

The B-Movie Cast is back! Mary had to take some time off to get her new bionic hip installed and now she’s ready to slow-mo run with Steve Austin… or at least finally climb the stairs back up the B-Movie Cast studio! So with Mary at the top of the stairs we thought we’d check out the other cowboy-dinosaur movie: “The Beast of Hollow Mountain”. This one is based on a story by Willis O’Brian and was a joint Mexican/American film production. So get ready for 60 minutes of cowboy politics followed by

Halloween is coming and for the B-Movie Cast that means we do a special film with special guest Mark Mawston! This year’s Halloween treat is “Curse of the Demon” AKA “Night of the Demon” in the UK. The ‘trick’ that comes with this treat is that it was covered way back in episode #78 by the show’s creator, Vince Rotolo and guest Barry Harding. Normally we wouldn’t revisit a film, but Mary, Nic and Mark weren’t in on that original podcast and this film is a favorite of Marks so… here we go again

This episode of the B-movie Cast is a Juan pic- "El Monstruo de los Volcanes" from 1963. It’s a Mexican monster flick featuring an abominable snowman creature living in the desert, in a cave, under a volcano… yeah not much snow for him to be abominable in here, but that’s beside the point. Juan breaks it down for us while Nic has a breakdown about the idea of karate vs Yeti! We also discuss the future of movie/themed conventions and why Mary will be stuck downstairs for 6 weeks.

The B-Movie Cast is back! This episode Mary, Nic and Brian ask the question “what would happen if “Gilligan’s Island”, “The A-Team”, and “Charlie’s Angels” had a love child?” The answer: “Angels Revenge” (AKA – “Angels Brigade” AKA- “Seven from Heaven”). It’s a 1979 action/comedy from filmmaker Greydon Clark. For even more fun, Greydon recorded an interview with Nic talking about “Angels Revenge” and some other stories from his book “On The Cheap: My Life In Low Budget Filmmaking”. So get ready to

Adrian is joining Mary and Nic to check out the gonzo Japanese horror film from 1977: “House” (Nihongo de: Hausu). This was writer/director Nobuhiko Obayashi’s fever dream ghost story from Toho Studios. Toho saw that “Jaws” was a hit and ask Obayashi to make something like “Jaws” for them. Well… he definitely made a movie, but the only things it has in common with

The B-Movie Cast is back! This episode Mary and Nic are joined by our resident Egyptologist, Eric Brooks, to look at a film about another Egyptologist: “The Ghoul” from 1933. Considered the first true British horror film after the silent film era, “The Ghoul” features Boris Karloff playing Henry Morlant, a dying Egyptologist who is obsessed with the idea that he can enter the Egyptian afterlife if he rises from the dead and gives an ancient jewel to the God Anubis. Unfortunately for Morlant,

B-Movie Cast episode 453 is here! This is a special show paying tribute to the late John Saxon. A ubiquitous figure in film and television, John passed away recently at the age of 83. We wanted to check out one of his most iconic films in his honor: “Enter the Dragon”. Mary and Nic are lucky enough to be joined by actor, filmmaker, and writer Michael Worth. Michael worked with John on many projects and was his friend. He also took the time to sit down with John and record him as he recounted some

B-Movie Cast ·

2020/07/05

In this episode of the B-Movie Cast Mary and Nic are joined by author Fiona Young-Brown. Fiona has a lot to say about our movie: “Squirm”. While it’s a pretty standard horror fair from the 70s, with enough early FX artist Rick Baker magic to make it stand out, what really got Fiona’s attention was the southern gothic aspect of the film. Mary, who’s lived in the south for over 20 years, can’t quite see the forest for the trees when it comes to southern gothic, but she has figured out what really
