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!

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!

Hey B-Movie Cast fans in this episode Mary, Nic and special guest Brian Cunningham take a trip to Perfection, Nevada to see what’s shaking with the 1990 monster flick “Tremors”. It’s a personal favorite of Brian and Nic’s which we discovered Mary hadn’t seen before! “Tremors” is an ode to classic sci-fi/horror movies with just the right blend of humor and horror. The film features snappy dialogue and loveable characters including Val and Earl (Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward). So grab a beer, but watch out for Graboids, as we check out “Tremors”.

Halloween is coming and for the B-Movie Cast, that means we do a special film with special guest Mark Mawston! This year’s Halloween treat is “Curse of the Demon” AKA “Night of the Demon” in the UK. The ‘trick’ that comes with this treat is that it was covered way back in episode #78 by the show’s creator, Vince Rotolo, and guest Barry Harding. Normally we wouldn’t revisit a film, but Mary, Nic, and Mark weren’t in on that original podcast and this film is a favorite of Marks so… here we go again!
“Curse of the Demon” is a film about black magic and the eternal struggle between the rational mind and forces of the supernatural. Will science win out over superstition or will we learn that some forces are beyond our understanding? Well, don’t just sit there reading! Grab some popcorn, your favorite tasty beverage, and maybe a bit of that Halloween candy you’ve been saving and tune in for episode 458 of The B-Movie Cast for “Curse of the Demon”
