Gun your engines and get ready for the car chase that started the directorial career of one of Hollywood’s biggest directors: Ron Howard! That’s right. The B-Movie Cast is back and we’re checking out the 1977 crash-em-up comedy “Grand Theft Auto”! To help Mary and Nic dig into this Roger Corman classic we’re joined by Beverly Gray. Beverly is an author, film historian. She worked with Corman and later his Concorde-New Horizons Pictures on 170 films…. Oh, and did we mention her biography of actor/filmmaker Ron Howard? Yeah, she’s a pretty good one to talk about Ron Howard’s directorial debut! So, make sure your car insurance is paid up and tune in to the “Grand Theft Auto” episode of the B-Movie Cast!

The B-Movie Cast is back! We’ve got a special guest this week- Dr. Smith! No, not that one, the British one! Dr. Adrian Smith! Adrian is joining Mary and Nic to check out the gonzo Japanese horror film from 1977: “House” (Nihongo de: Hausu).
This was writer/director Nobuhiko Obayashi’s fever dream ghost story from Toho Studios. Toho saw that “Jaws” was a hit and ask Obayashi to make something like “Jaws” for them. Well… he definitely made a movie, but the only things it has in common with Spielberg’s 1975 blockbuster is that they were both filmed on 35mm film stock! “House” is a head trip, but well worth the price of admission!
So grab an Asahi beer, order up some sushi and check out the Japanese horror classic “House”!

This time on The B-Movie Cast, Mary, Nic and Juan are checking out the second lost continent of Caprona film with the AIP 1977 film “The People That Time Forgot”. It’s the sequel to the film from our last podcast on “The Land That Time Forgot” and begs the question, what’s wrong with time that it keeps forgetting stuff?
This time we have Patrick Wayne leading an expedition to find Doug McClure’s character Tyler from the first film. Times have been rough in Caprona though, because there just aren’t that many dinosaurs to be found this time around. That’s OK though, the film makes up for it with the Naga, weird woman sacrificing, Japanese armor-wearing, samurai sword-wielding bad guys that live in the prototype for Castle Greyskull from “He-Man”.
So grab yourself a beer, heat up that TV dinner and let’s get ready to check out the second Edgar Rice Burroughs’ “The People That Time Forgot” (AKA: “Hogan Dates Out of His League!”).
