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 telling of the story of an invisible man doesn’t much resemble the H.G. Wells story or its Universal Studios predecessor. However, it has its high points and the story has a lot more emotional punch to it. Word of warning though…. Don’t get Nic started on the one thing he really didn’t like in the film… you won’t hear the end of it!
So grab a TV dinner, a cold beer and sit back and relax with your friends at the B-Movie Cast as we check out TOHO Studio’s “The Invisible Man”!

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 Monster series! So sit back, grab a TV dinner and a beer and enjoy “The Invisible Man” on The B-Movie Cast!

Chinese? Canadian?) spies out to steal the secret of the Astro Zombies. Plus John Carradine is also in the film as the mad scientist who keeps using psycho killers for his zombie experiments and then wondering why they go around murdering everyone!

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 arch criminal who, along with his sadistic girlfriend Nadja, is murdering everyone he can while running an extremely overly complicated criminal smuggling/counterfeiting ring. Only the combined forces of Mexico’s greatest hero: Santo, America’s greatest hero: Captain America, and, because they needed a third person… Captain America’s girlfriend Julia, can stop Spiderman before he kills even more innocent people.
Join Mary, Nic and Juan as they take a bite out of crime with this Turkish superhero film!
