Episode 522: The Thing 1982- Revisited!

Sometimes a film is worth a second look, especially if Mark Mawston wants to talk about it on the show, so that’s why for this episode the B-Movie Cast is revisiting a true Sci-fi/Horror classic: “John Carpenter’s The Thing” from 1982. Get ready for paranoia on the screen and a lot of confusion from Mary on the podcast as Nic and Mark try, and fail, to help Mary understand what happened in this complicated update adaptation of the John W. Campbell novella ‘Who Goes There?’. So, get your blood tests ready and put on some warm clothes because the B-Movie Cast is heading for Outpost 31 and a rendezvous with “The Thing”.

Episode 521: Cash on Demand

The B-Movie Cast is determined to keep the holiday spirit alive by doing another Christmas film even though it’s January! This episode Matt Kowalski joins Mary and Nic as we check out the 1961 Hammer Film treat – “Cash On Demand”. It’s a thriller about a very ‘Scrooge’ like bank manager who is visited by a not-so-ghostly bank robber and learns a few lessons while the manager is forced to help rob his own bank! Starring Peter Cushing, this flick is well worth a look! So, get your yule-tide spirit out of the closet and dust it off for another Christmas themed film on the B-Movie Cast!

Episode 520: Beyond Christmas (AKA Beyond Tomorrow)

The B-Movie Cast is in the holiday spirit this year with a tale of death by plane crash, jealous murder, and holiday cheer! That’s right Mary, Nic and Juan are checking out “Beyond Christmas” AKA “Beyond Tomorrow”, a 1940 holiday tale of three rich old men living together in New York who decide to invite strangers into their home for Christmas and then come back to haunt them when the three dudes meet an untimely end in a plane crash! Beyond Christmas is no “Beyond Thunderdome”, but it’s definitely worth a little yule-tide love this season. So, toss your wallet out the window and see who your having Christmas dinner with on this episode of The B-Movie Cast!

Episode 519: Beginning of the End


The B-Movie cast makes it big, really BIG when Mary, Nic and returning guest Bill Mize, check out the 1957, Bert I. Gordon classic “Beginning of the End”. Thrill to giant grasshoppers battling stock footage of the US military while trying not to fall off pictures of famous buildings! Yes, it’s some old school B-movie fun that features Peter Graves and a bevy of actors you’ve seen before, even if you don’t remember their names… don’t worry though, Mary wants to talk about each and every one of them! So, call your friends on your 1957 Chrysler New Yorker car phone and let them know you’re checking out “The Beginning of the End” on the B-Movie Cast!

Episode 518 Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman

Even a podcast that is pure of heart and says it’s prayers by night may do “Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman” when the moon is full and bright… and it’s Halloween! Joining Mary and Nic this week is Mark Mawston! Mark has moved to a crazy new pad near Stonehenge and we’ll hear about that, talk about Lon Chaney Jr and Bela Lugosi together again in two of their iconic roles! Now let’s get ready to rumble as “Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman” on the B-Movie Cast!

Episode 517 The Giant Gila Monster (1959)

The B-Movie cast hops in our souped-up coup and heads to the wilds of Texas. Mary, Nic and Bill Mize venture into a world of 30-year-old teens, alcoholic DJs and the sneakiest giant lizard you’ll never meet in Ray Kellogg’s 1959 classic “The Giant Gila Monster”. Hear Don Sullivan sing, see France’s 1957 Miss Universe entry Lisa Simone, watch a Mexican Beaded Lizard get miss-cast as a Giant Gila monster! It’s back to our B-Movie roots with this fun romp through a film produced by Ken (Gunsmoke’s Festus) Curtis. So get ready to hop in your hotrod and have some fun with the B-Movie Cast gang as we check out “The Giant Gila Monster”.
