The B-Movie Cast is back and this time we’re searching for the Abominable Snow man of the Himalayas. Only we couldn’t afford a trip to Napal, so we had to settle for John Caradine telling us all about how they found one in Nagano Japan! Join Mary, Nic, and Juan as we check out “Half Human” (original Japanese title: “J?jin Yuki Otoko” meaning ‘Beast/Forest Man, Snow Man”. In typical 1950s fashion, when it was released in the US, they stuck some American actors into cut scenes and built the story around them. In this case John Caradine narrates the whole film as a flashback as told to him by a Japanese colleague. Get ready for a whole lot of walking around in the woods and a monster covered all over with fur, but still somehow suffering from male pattern baldness! The B-Movie cast crew did a double header on this one, checking out the original Japanese version from 1955 and the American release from 1957. So, grab your skis and get ready for some fun with “Half Human” on the B-Movie Cast!

This episode of the B-Movie Cast thrill to the excitement as green energy goes wrong! That’s right Mary, Nic and Juan are looking at the only alternative energy powered monsters- the solar-powered Astro Zombies! Thrill as they run around randomly killing people while the heroes of the film spend all their time eating at some kind of Ponderosa/Strip Club hybrid. Oh and don’t forget the foreign (Russian? Chinese? Canadian?) spies out to steal the secret of the Astro Zombies. Plus John Carradine is also in the film as the mad scientist who keeps using psycho killers for his zombie experiments and then wondering why they go around murdering everyone!
So grab a beer, warm up the TV dinner and enjoy The Astro Zombies on this episode of The B-Movie Cast!
