The B-Movie Cast is determined to keep the holiday spirit alive by doing another Christmas film even though it’s January! This episode Matt Kowalski joins Mary and Nic as we check out the 1961 Hammer Film treat – “Cash On Demand”.

Starring Peter Cushing, this flick is well worth a look! So, get your yule-tide spirit out of the closet and dust it off for another Christmas themed film on the B-Movie Cast!

The B-Movie cast hops in our souped-up coup and heads to the wilds of Texas.

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!
