In this episode of the B-Movie Cast, Mary and Nic are joined by our resident guru of Eastern European and Russian history, Matt Kowalski! Matt is joining us to take a deep dive into the world of Rasputin… well at least according to Hammer Studio’s 1966 film: “Rasputin, The Mad Monk”. Seems this historical flick is even less history-based than many, but with good reason! So, grab yourself a glass of vodka and get ready to go a little mad with “Rasputin, The Mad Monk”!

The B-Movie Cast is back with a very special episode. In January 2021 actor John Richardson passed from Covid-19. John was a friend of cast favorite, Mark Mawston. Mark asked if we could do a show dedicated to John and look at one of the actor’s favorite films: “Black Sunday” (AKA “The Mask of The Demon”). As a special treat, Mark arranged for John’s former domestic partner (no they were never married) two-time Bond Girl and Hammer Glamour Queen Martine Beswick! Martine shares stories of her time with John and how they met, plus more!
Also- Mark Mawston’s article about Ray Harryhausen’s 100th Birthday is a possible nominee for the 2020 Rondo awards! Visit the Ray and Diana Harryhausen Foundation website to find out how you can help Mark and the Foundation with getting nominated for some well-deserved Rondo Award recognition!
