Episode 522: The Thing 1982- Revisited!

Sometimes a film is worth a second look, especially if Mark Mawston wants to talk about it on the show, so that’s why for this episode the B-Movie Cast is revisiting a true Sci-fi/Horror classic: “John Carpenter’s The Thing” from 1982. Get ready for paranoia on the screen and a lot of confusion from Mary on the podcast as Nic and Mark try, and fail, to help Mary understand what happened in this complicated update adaptation of the John W. Campbell novella ‘Who Goes There?’. So, get your blood tests ready and put on some warm clothes because the B-Movie Cast is heading for Outpost 31 and a rendezvous with “The Thing”.

Episode 503: John Carpenter’s Halloween, 1978


It’s Halloween and the B-Movie Cast is back with our annual Halloween special featuring photographer Mark Mawston! Mark suggested we do the Horror classic from 1978: “Halloween” and that’s when Mary and Nic realized… We’d never done it! When we got over the shock that we hadn’t, it was full scream ahead for one of Nic’s favorite films. Featuring Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasence, PJ Soles one of the most famous film scores ever, and the start of a whole lot of genre tropes! Get ready for a look at what is possibly John Carpenter’s most iconic work, the original “Halloween”!

Episode 461: Big Trouble in Little China

The B-Movie Cast is back! Mary and Nic are joined by Mark Mawston and this week we’re checking out a John Carpenter classic: “Big Trouble in Little China”! This 1986 20th Century Fox release was, like many of Carpenter’s films, not a box office success, but quickly developed a cult following and became a hit on home video. So get ready to dive into long-haul trucking, Kung-Fu, Chinese mysticism, and more snappy dialogue than you can shake a six-demon bag at as the B-Movie Cast checks out “Big Trouble in Little China” as part of our unintentional series of Victor Wong movies!
