Hello friends and welcome to the newest episode of the B-Movie cast. This is a special episode as we are dedicating it to the memory of a dear friend of the show, B-Movie fan and friend, Scott Turk. Scott passed away just before we recorded this cast, so we wanted to dedicate it to his memory. If you would like to honor Scott’s memory, please make a donation in his name to one of these charities: Doctors Without Borders, Water.org, or Georgia Public Broadcasting. Scott was a true Monster Kid and a friend to us all and he will be missed.
For this episode Mary, Nic, and Juan head south of the border to check out a Luchador style hero, who never enters the ring! He’s Neutron the Atomic Superman and he’s out to stop some easy bake over zombies and a mad scientist (also in a Luchador mask) in “Neutron VS the Death Robots”. It’s got everything you would expect from the title… except of course for robots, they’re really baked zombies… but anyway, it’s lots of fun! So, get ready for monsters and mayhem from Neutron, the discount Santo!

In this episode of The B-Movie Cast, Mary and Nic are joined by Eric Brooks. Though Eric’s specialty is all things Egyptian, he decided to join us for something BIG, and by “BIG” we mean Bert I. Gordon. The gang are checking out one of Mr. B.I.G.’s big creature features: “Earth Vs the Spider” (AKA- “The Spider”). It’s a tale of one giant arachnid who just wants to make some new friends. Unfortunately, by making friends we mean sucking all the juice from their bodies and leaving them dead, dried up husks!
This film is a classic of 50’s sci-fi/horror and it’s a whole lot of fun to watch! So grab your favorite BIG beverage and maybe that extra BIG popcorn and tune for this episode of The B-Movie Cast!
Episode 428: The Invisible Man (Toho Studios 1954) A.K.A. The Invisible Avenger

The B-Movie Cast knows you didn’t see this one coming… because it’s invisible! Last episode we looked at the Universal Horror classic “The Invisible Man”. This episode Mary, Nic and Juan tack the Japanese “Invisible Man” (A.K.A. – The Invisible Avenger). This 1954 flick is from TOHO Studios and if you haven’t heard of the film before it may be because another TOHO flick came out that year that sort of stomped on all the competition- that film was “Gojira” (Godzilla- King of the Monsters).
This telling of the story of an invisible man doesn’t much resemble the H.G. Wells story or its Universal Studios predecessor. However, it has its high points and the story has a lot more emotional punch to it. Word of warning though…. Don’t get Nic started on the one thing he really didn’t like in the film… you won’t hear the end of it!
So grab a TV dinner, a cold beer and sit back and relax with your friends at the B-Movie Cast as we check out TOHO Studio’s “The Invisible Man”!

This time on the B-Movie Cast the Mary and Nic are joined by filmmaker Brian Cunningham. Brian has never seen the 1933 Universal horror classic “The Invisible Man” so we decided it was time for him to see it. Though seeing “The Invisible Man” is tough, what with him being invisible and all, but we managed… I hear you if you shoot ink everywhere he’s not that tough.
Anyway, the B-Movie Cast is happy to have Brian in for this episode and we’re excited to be tackling another classic from the Universal Monster series! So sit back, grab a TV dinner and a beer and enjoy “The Invisible Man” on The B-Movie Cast!

Just in time for 42o day! Episode 420 of the B-Movie Cast!
On this episode of the B- Movie Cast, Mary, Nic and Juan take a look at a Spanish classic called The Tower of the Seven Hunchbacks (La Torre de los Siete Jorobados). Shot in 1944, this film is the first Spanish feature we’ve covered.
The film features ghosts, including Napoleon of all people…, romance, a murder, a mystery, a musical number, a nutty professor, and a lost city! What more could you ask for? How about seven hunchbacks? Nic counted them, and they are all there… we’re still not sure why though!
So grab a beer, heat up a TV dinner and check out The Tower of the Seven Hunchbacks with the B-Movie Cast team!
BONUS- Listener Marnie Williams is part of a book club that has introduced some younger folks to the joys of classic horror and B-Movies and one of those younger members found a cool “Guide to Monsters in Classic Movies” and you can read it if you CLICK HERE!!

This week on the B-Movie Cast Mary and Nic are joined by special guest Eric Brooks! Eric is a long-time friend of Nic. Eric is also an Egyptologist with a bunch of degrees in museum stuff and the like (yeah I’m being technical). Point is, Eric knows his Egyptian history and is the perfect co-host for our episode featuring the Universal Horror classic: The Mummy!
Find out why it’s a bad idea to open cursed boxes and also why you may not want to trust a guy in fez hat!

Survival Of The Film Freaks is a documentary exploring the phenomenon of cult film and how it survives in the 21st Century. Through interviews with cult icons such as Ted Raimi and Lloyd Kaufman, alongside modern-day filmmakers like Adam Green and Jackson Stewart, Film Freaks examines decades of film fanaticism and how the ‘digital age’ has transformed the way we experience movies. At the helm of Film Freaks is the directing duo of Bill Fulkerson and Kyle Kuchta, who have spent the last three years making the documentary.
