Writer, director Larry Cohen works out some daddy issues in this film about a mutant, killer baby, and a father torn between his repulsion at the monster and his love for his child. It’s a better film than it should be, with social messages, character growth, and a couple of quick looks at FX master Rick Baker’s crazy killer baby suit! Get ready for some crazy baby physics and a lot of weirdness as the B-Movie Cast checks out “It’s Alive”!

The B-Movie Cast is taking a bite out of a Paul Naschy werewolf flick: “The Werewolf and the Yeti” (AKA: “Night of the Howling Beast”) for our #9 film in the countdown to our 500th episode! Joining Mary and Nic in this fur-fest is podcaster and Paul Naschy aficionado; Rod Barnett. Get ready for the werewolf vs yeti film with the least possible amount of yeti they could get by with. What it doesn’t have in yeti it makes up for with a whole lot of plot not getting in the way of the story. There’s also not a lot of continuity, but there is a ton of fun as we watch Paul Naschy try to pass off Spain for Tibet and silk shirts for hiking clothes! So, grab some tapas and a cold beverage and get ready for “The Werewolf and the Yeti” in this episode of The B-Movie Cast!
