Episode 482: The Face Behind the Mask


Hey B-Movie Cast family! In this episode Mary and Nic are joined by Juan from the creepy swamps! We check out a classic bit of film noir: “The Face Behind the Mask” from 1941. Great film starring Peter Lorre and Evelyn Keyes. Lorre is an immigrant coming to America to make a new life, only a tragic fire leaves him horribly disfigured. Now he must turn to a life of crime to survive. Will the love of a beautiful woman save him or is it too late for “The Face Behind the Mask”?

Episode 449: Shield for Murder

In this episode, Mary and Nic are joined by Juan and together the gang is going to take on a dame hungry killer-cop who’s gone berserk with the 1954 film noir: “Shield for Murder”! This gem stars Edmond O’Brien and John Agar, plus a host of familiar faces like Marla English and Morticia Adams herself- Carolyn Jones! The gang also spends a lot of time trying to convince Mary that 256 gigabytes is a lot of storage space for a cell phone! So grab a tasty beverage, pop some corn and tune in to 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”!

Episode 410: OSS 117 Is Unleashed!

The B-Movie Cast is back! This time Mary and Nic have another special guest, straight from the University of Sussex in the UK it’s Adrian Smith! He’s joining the gang to talk about the French Eurospy flick “OSS 117 Is Unleashed”. We’re going to take a step back into the heart of the cold war as an American agent- who speaks only French it would seem, has to investigate a submarine tracking device… and hit on every woman he meets! So grab a cold one, heat up a TV dinner and get ready as the new episode of the B-Movie Cast is unleashed!

Episode 398: King Kong

The B-Movie Cast is visiting a classic this time as Mary, Nic and Juan take a look at the original Kaiju movie- King Kong from 1933! Join the gang as we talk about the magic behind the movie, from the war heroes who made the film, to the special effects marvels that still look good nearly 100 years later! 

King Kong is a true classic, not just in the genre of monster movies, but in all cinema. From the beauty of Fay Wray to the special effects of Willis O’Brien we hit it all! So grab your favorite TV dinner a good cold drink and tune in to share the wonder of this amazing film with us in the B-Movie clubhouse!
