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”.

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!

Juan and Nic join Mary for the this tripped out tour of Madrid as a priest goes on a mission to commit as many sins as possible because he believes this will help him stop the birth of the Anti-Christ! Spoiler alert- you need to watch this one before you check out the show! Now, grab a beer, some rosary beads and get ready to enter the Christmas miracle that is “Day of the Beast” on this episode of the B-Movie Cast!
