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 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 with John and how they met, plus more!
Also- Mark Mawston’s article about Ray Harryhausen’s 100th Birthday is a possible nominee for the 2020 Rondo awards! Visit the Ray and Diana Harryhausen Foundation website to find out how you can help Mark and the Foundation with getting nominated for some well-deserved Rondo Award recognition!

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 in to find out the answer, and stick around to hear why René Manzor is Nic’s new spirit animal! Grab a beer and get ready for some French Yuletide cheer with “Deadly Games” AKA “3615 Code Père Noël”.

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 Trouble in Little China” as part of our unintentional series of Victor Wong movies!
