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 512: Mesa of Lost Women

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 510: Wilczyca (The Wolf) 1983


The B-Movie Cast takes another peak behind the Iron Curtain with the 1983 Polish folk horror/Werewolf film Wilczyca (The Wolf). Comrade Matt Kowalski joins Mary and Nic as they explore this atmospheric Eastern European gothic horror story. There’s lots of blood, guts, dark magic, surprising lesbian undertones and enough 19th century politics to make the Czar’s head swim. So put on your winter clothes, grab some off brand Vodka and get ready to face the terror of Wilczyca (The Wolf) in 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!
