The B-Movie Cast is drowning in Spanish guitar riffs in this episode as Mary, Nic and Juan check out “Mesa of Lost Women” from 1953. This film has way more plot than story, gratuitous flamenco guitar, and a whole lot of actors who look like they want to be somewhere else! So, grab your bug spray and get ready to head south of the good movie border with “Mesa of Lost Women” on the B-Movie cast!

Cool stuff, particularly since he was competing against Ms. Hathaway from the Beverly Hillbillies!

Episode 509: The Shape of Water


The B-Movie Cast continues to dip our feet into the pool of fishy films as we check out the 2017 fairytale for adults, “The Shape of Water”. Joining Nic and Mary for the show are fan favorite Eric Brooks and a new guest host, Mary’s neighbor Crystal Masterson. We also ask listeners to take a moment and remember the last of the Universal Monster actors, Ricou Browning, who passed away just after we recorded the show. Now grab your swimming suit and get ready to dive into “The Shape of Water” on this episode of The B-Movie Cast

Episode 508: Island of the Fishmen


The B-Movie Cast decides to get our feet wet this episode when we check out “Island of the Fishmen” (Italian: L’isola degli uomini pesce)! Joining Mary and Nic is special guest, is podcaster and cool man-about-town, Bill Mize. This Italian flick from 1979 had a bunch of walking-in-the-jungle scenes cut and gratuitous amounts of Cameron Mitchell added in, but it still flopped in the US. Even the often scantily clad Bond girl, Barbara Bach couldn’t save it. That said, the film boasts some surprisingly good special effects and more fishmen than Red Lobster on a Friday night. So, grab some tarter sauce and get ready for some fun with “Island of the Fishmen” on the B-Movie Cast!
