Classic film legend Steve Vertlieb is up for a Rondo award:
MY RECENT TV APPEARANCE NOMINATED FOR A RONDO AWARD!
The annual Rondo Hatton Award nominations were announced early this morning, and I’m thrilled to see that my recent appearance on New Jersey Public Television’s “Classic Movies with Ron Maccloskey” concerning “King Kong” has been nominated for “Best Event of the Year” under the heading of “Talking Kong.” To vote for my appearance, just send your name and choice to taraco@aol.com, along with my thanks and gratitude.
“KING KONG” … WILLIS H. O’BRIEN … RAY HARRYHAUSEN: EXPLORING THE CULTURAL INFLUENCE AND LEGACY OF A “MONSTROUS” MOTION PICTURE CLASSIC!
I had an opportunity quite recently to sit down once more with Host, Actor, Comedian, and Writer Ron MacCloskey for his Emmy Award Winning Public Television Series, “Classic Movies with Ron MacCloskey.”
Ron is the writer and producer of the new feature length documentary motion picture, “Boris Karloff: The Man Behind The Monster,” now playing in theaters all across the globe.
For this Halloween themed episode of the popular program, however, we explored the cultural significance, history, and legacy of the most famous “Monster” of them all … King Kong … and his nearly ninety year influence on gorilla films of all shapes and sizes, as well as his career defining impact on the lives and reign of Stop Motion Animation legends, Willis H. O’Brien and Ray Harryhausen.
Our spirited conversation both precedes and follows the film segment. Simply click on the projector below in order to screen the program.
Long Live The “King” … VOTE RONDO!

The B-Movie Cast is back! This time Mary and Nic are joined by Juan to explore serious social issues and… oh who am I kidding? We’re here to watch Santo, the masked wrestler kick some Nazi butt in “Santo en Anónimo Mortal” AKA- “Santo in Anonymous Death Threat”. This 1975 Santo flick features the masked wrestler solving murders with his two companions and sporting the latest in business suit fashion. It also has a whole bunch of Nazis who have apparently turned what looks like the ballroom at the Mexico City Holiday Inn into their nefarious, and extremely over-chaired, lair! So, grab a cerveza and tune it to “Santo en Anónimo Mortal” AKA- “Santo in Anonymous Death Threat”.

The B-Movie Cast is back and this time we’re taking on a real Turkish delight… “3 Dev Adam”. This film (also known as “3 Giant Men” and “The Turkish Spiderman”) is a real doozy! Someone forgot to tell Turkey that most of the world recognizes copyright law. So Turkey’s film industry has a bit of a reputation for ripping off western hit films… think “Turkish Star Wars”, “Turkish Rambo”, etc.…
In this cinematic spectacle Spiderman isn’t your friendly neighborhood teen hero. He’s a sadistic arch criminal who, along with his sadistic girlfriend Nadja, is murdering everyone he can while running an extremely overly complicated criminal smuggling/counterfeiting ring. Only the combined forces of Mexico’s greatest hero: Santo, America’s greatest hero: Captain America, and, because they needed a third person… Captain America’s girlfriend Julia, can stop Spiderman before he kills even more innocent people.
Join Mary, Nic and Juan as they take a bite out of crime with this Turkish superhero film!
