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!

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!

Episode 505: Day of the Beast -1995



The Holiday season has The B-Movie Cast in a tizzy! So much so, that Mary picked the strangest holiday film I think she’s ever chosen… “Day of the Beast” (El Dia de la Bestia)! A Spanish horror film that launched the carrier of filmmaker Alex de la Inglesia. Juan and Nic join Mary for the this tripped out tour of Madrid as a priest goes on a mission to commit as many sins as possible because he believes this will help him stop the birth of the Anti-Christ! Spoiler alert- you need to watch this one before you check out the show! Now, grab a beer, some rosary beads and get ready to enter the Christmas miracle that is “Day of the Beast” on this episode of the B-Movie Cast!
