Gun your engines and get ready for the car chase that started the directorial career of one of Hollywood’s biggest directors: Ron Howard! That’s right. The B-Movie Cast is back and we’re checking out the 1977 crash-em-up comedy “Grand Theft Auto”! To help Mary and Nic dig into this Roger Corman classic we’re joined by Beverly Gray.

The B-Movie Cast is back! This time Mary and Nic are joined by Juan to explore serious social issues and… oh who am I kidding? We’re here to watch Santo, the masked wrestler kick some Nazi butt in “Santo en Anónimo Mortal” AKA- “Santo in Anonymous Death Threat”. This 1975 Santo flick features the masked wrestler solving murders with his two companions and sporting the latest in business suit fashion. It also has a whole bunch of Nazis who have apparently turned what looks like the ballroom at the Mexico City Holiday Inn into their nefarious, and extremely over-chaired, lair! So, grab a cerveza and tune it to “Santo en Anónimo Mortal” AKA- “Santo in Anonymous Death Threat”.
