Episode 520: Beyond Christmas (AKA Beyond Tomorrow)

The B-Movie Cast is in the holiday spirit this year with a tale of death by plane crash, jealous murder, and holiday cheer! That’s right Mary, Nic and Juan are checking out “Beyond Christmas” AKA “Beyond Tomorrow”, a 1940 holiday tale of three rich old men living together in New York who decide to invite strangers into their home for Christmas and then come back to haunt them when the three dudes meet an untimely end in a plane crash! Beyond Christmas is no “Beyond Thunderdome”, but it’s definitely worth a little yule-tide love this season. So, toss your wallet out the window and see who your having Christmas dinner with on this episode of The B-Movie Cast!

 

For a bit more holiday cheer… 

Try Filmland Spirits Bourbon & Rye Whiskey. The perfect adult beverage for the holidays (if you’re 21yrs or older only)

 

Episode 509: The Shape of Water


The B-Movie Cast continues to dip our feet into the pool of fishy films as we check out the 2017 fairytale for adults, “The Shape of Water”. Joining Nic and Mary for the show are fan favorite Eric Brooks and a new guest host, Mary’s neighbor Crystal Masterson. We also ask listeners to take a moment and remember the last of the Universal Monster actors, Ricou Browning, who passed away just after we recorded the show. Now grab your swimming suit and get ready to dive into “The Shape of Water” on this episode of The B-Movie Cast

Episode 507: The Night Before Christmas (AKA: Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka)


The B-Movie Cast leaves our holiday decorations up way too long as we take a stab at Russian Orthodox Christmas holiday with a Soviet Era flick “The Night Before Christmas”, also known as “Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka” from 1961. Joining Nic and Mary for some very Nikolai Gogol Christmas fun is our resident expert on all things from behind the iron curtain- Matt Kowalski! So grab your favorite brew, put on your cold weather gear and tell the devil to “Get in my pocket Satan!” as we check out “The Night Before Christmas”!

Episode 489: Father Frost (AKA Morozko)


Zdravstvuyte Comrades! Welcome to a new B-Movie Cast! This week Mary and Nic are joined by Matt Kowalski and we’re checking out another New Year’s favorite from behind the iron curtain: “Morozko” AKA- “Father Frost”! This flick has been lampooned on MST3K and Riff Trax, now it’s the B-Movie Cast’s turn to show some love to one of Gorky Studio’s most successful exports from the Soviet era! Tune in to learn about how Russian women can control time and space and why you should always be nice to that old dude in the woods! So, grab some vodka, a bowl of borscht, and get ready for “Father Frost” on the B-Movie Cast!

Episode 440: YOR: Hunter from the Future

The B-Movie Cast is back again! This time we’re getting our furry-80s loin clothes out and tackling “YOR: Hunter from the Future”. As the theme song tells you he’s a man of mystery and always on the run, but we caught up with him!
Joining Mary and Nic is Dr. Adrian Smith. He’s back because he wasn’t happy with just 89 minutes worth of English language YOR- nope, he found the 210-minute-long, 4 part, Italian miniseries that was the original running length of this film!

So if you have an urge to see actor Reb Brown run through the desert and fight really slow, awkwardly moving dinosaurs then you’re in luck with this episode! But be warned, Reb Brown’s voice will occasionally comment on the show with his famous ‘cover up the burp’ line from the film! So grab a beer, heat up that TV dinner and sit back and enjoy the B-Movie Cast’s take on “YOR: Hunter from the Future” and while you’re at it, think about which of the sports you want to try out in the YOR-Olympics!

Episode 439: The Keep

The B-Movie Cast is back and this time we’ve got two special guests. Mary and Nic are joined by fan favorite, British photographer Mark Mawston, and filmmaker John Stevenson. The gang has decided to take on a cult favorite from the 80s- “The Keep”. It has got monsters, Nazis and all the synthesizer music they could cram into it. Some call it a horror film, some call it a fantasy, the director says it’s an adult fairytale and the box office in 1983 said it was a dud. This film suffered from the common problem of the studio (Paramount) taking the artistic vision of the director (Michael Mann) and tossing it into the trash as they cut the film from 3.5hrs to 2hrs and then finally to a nearly incomprehensible 96 minutes! But don’t worry, the B-Movie Cast is ready to make it all right! So get ready for some fun as we break down the movie and live our best life checking out what is really a 96 minute Tangerine Dream music video!
