The B-Movie Cast is excited to have special guest Dr. Adrian Smith with us for this episode. Adrian joins Mary and Nic and the gang checks out some Euro-spy fun with the blondest James Bond knock-off: Agent 077- Dick Malloy (Ken Clark) in “From The Orient With Fury” (AKA- Fury on the Bosphorus). When a scientist who’s invented a disintegration ray is kidnapped it’s up to zero-double seven to chase some clues all over Europe before the bad guys can sell the secret of the ray to the highest bidder! There’s lots of clumsy fighting, inept goons, and unnecessary roughness to the actresses… but hey, it was shot in exotic locations so that’s cool right? Grab your passport and get ready to see the sight with Dick Malloy in “From the Orient with Fury” on this episode of the B-Movie Cast!

“KING KONG” … WILLIS H. O’BRIEN … RAY HARRYHAUSEN: EXPLORING THE CULTURAL INFLUENCE AND LEGACY OF A “MONSTROUS” MOTION PICTURE CLASSIC!
I had an opportunity quite recently to sit down once more with Host, Actor, Comedian, and Writer Ron MacCloskey for his Emmy Award Winning Public Television Series, “Classic Movies with Ron MacCloskey.”
Ron is the writer and producer of the new feature length documentary motion picture, “Boris Karloff: The Man Behind The Monster,” now playing in theaters all across the globe.
For this Halloween themed episode of the popular program, however, we explored the cultural significance, history, and legacy of the most famous “Monster” of them all … King Kong … and his nearly ninety year influence on gorilla films of all shapes and sizes, as well as his career defining impact on the lives and reign of Stop Motion Animation legends, Willis H. O’Brien and Ray Harryhausen.
Our spirited conversation both precedes and follows the film segment. Simply click on the projector below in order to screen the program.
Long Live The “King” … VOTE RONDO!

The B-Movie Cast is back! Mary and Nic are on their own this week as Juan was in the middle of a two-day power outage! That’s OK though because there was enough spooky fun to keep it real as we check out “The Skull” from 1965. This British horror film directed by Freddie Francis for Amicus Productions and starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. What happens when a Phrenologist digs up the head of the Marquis de Sade? Nothing good I assure you! So, grab some marshmallows, a cold drink, and a comfy chair and get ready for a horror movie ‘a head’ of its time with “The Skull”
Don’t forget to head over to the Rondo Awards and cast your vote for some of the best in horror and B-Movie fun! Visit The Rondo Awards(and vote for the B-Movie Cast in #19… )

South-of-the-border insanity!
This week at The B-Movie Clubhouse we delve into more Mexican madness from Juan’s Mexican Horrors Vault with The Rider of the Skulls (El Charro de las Calaveras) from 1965. The film was directed by Alfredo Salazar.
A masked, Zorro-like figure in a skull-and-crossbones emblazoned shirt who rides the range fighting monsters and supernatural threats whenever they pop up, which appears to be quite frequently.
