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!

Winner takes all!
This week at The B-Movie Clubhouse Nic picked out a comedy for us from 1979 called Scavenger Hunt. This is an underrated classic and is available only on VHS, and even that is hard to find.
Milton Parker has made millions inventing and selling games. Upon his death, his relatives and domestic staff gather for the reading of the will. However, Old Mr. Parker is a game player to the last, and his will stipulates that a Scavenger Hunt will be held to determine the beneficiaries of his sizeable estate. The winning team gets all the money, the rest get nothing.
Plus we have some great feedback.
