In this episode of The B-Movie Cast Mary, Juan and Nic ask the question: “What if a motocross racer were to accidentally be sent back in time to the old west and he didn’t notice?” Well, fortunately, Michael Nesmith of the 60s band The Monkees asked the same thing, only he made a movie about it! That’s right this episode is about the time traveling western motorcycle film- “Time Rider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann”.
“Time Rider” stars Fred Ward (“Tremors”, “Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins”) and features all those actors you recognize but just can’t quite name… like that guy from that movie that was out that one year… Oh and Peter Coyote!
So sit back, grab a TV dinner, a beer and tune in for “Time Rider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann” on the B-Movie Cast!

Just in time for 42o day! Episode 420 of the B-Movie Cast!
On this episode of the B- Movie Cast, Mary, Nic and Juan take a look at a Spanish classic called The Tower of the Seven Hunchbacks (La Torre de los Siete Jorobados). Shot in 1944, this film is the first Spanish feature we’ve covered.
The film features ghosts, including Napoleon of all people…, romance, a murder, a mystery, a musical number, a nutty professor, and a lost city! What more could you ask for? How about seven hunchbacks? Nic counted them, and they are all there… we’re still not sure why though!
So grab a beer, heat up a TV dinner and check out The Tower of the Seven Hunchbacks with the B-Movie Cast team!
BONUS- Listener Marnie Williams is part of a book club that has introduced some younger folks to the joys of classic horror and B-Movies and one of those younger members found a cool “Guide to Monsters in Classic Movies” and you can read it if you CLICK HERE!!

Holy 80th anniversaries! Hey B-Movie Cast fans, Mary and Nic are joined by the Amazing Fiona Young-Brown (AKA- Nic’s wife) on this show as we take a look at a masterpiece of 1960’s camp cinema- “Batman” (the Movie). Between seasons 1 and 2 of the TV show they produced a feature film that has the caped crusader and his youthful ward Dick taking on the ultimate collection of villains- The Joker, The Riddler, The Penguin and Cat Woman!
Will the dynamic duo be able to thwart these dastardly doers of dirty deeds? Probably. The real question is has Nic figured out the link between this film and Marvel’s “Avengers Infinity War” – Nic thinks he has – and if he’s right “Avengers End Game” will have a surprising cameo by a couple of Gotham’s finest… if they can get the Bat-Dust-Separator out of storage and back in working order!
Seriously though- join us for some fun with a true B-Movie Classic.
