Episode 447: The Damned (AKA- These Are The Damned)

This episode Mary and Nic are joined by show favorite Mark Mawston. Mark has been wanting to do his favorite Hammer Studios film with us on the show so we’re checking out the Hammer film that some people forgot: “The Damned” (AKA- “These are the Damned”). It’s a rare treat that mixes a bit of sci-fi, a bit of cold war nihilism, and a dash of horror to create an unforgettable film that feels oddly appropriate do cover during the spring of 2020. Oh, and let’s not forget, it has Oliver Reed at his most sinister, and even more diabolically it has a catchy tune the goes with it. Once you hear it, you can’t get it out of your head! Fair warning though, you may want to try and watch this one before the episode because we spoil this one worse than cottage cheese on a car dashboard in July!
Episode 439: The Keep

The B-Movie Cast is back and this time we’ve got two special guests. Mary and Nic are joined by fan favorite, British photographer Mark Mawston, and filmmaker John Stevenson. The gang has decided to take on a cult favorite from the 80s- “The Keep”. It has got monsters, Nazis and all the synthesizer music they could cram into it. Some call it a horror film, some call it a fantasy, the director says it’s an adult fairytale and the box office in 1983 said it was a dud. This film suffered from the common problem of the studio (Paramount) taking the artistic vision of the director (Michael Mann) and tossing it into the trash as they cut the film from 3.5hrs to 2hrs and then finally to a nearly incomprehensible 96 minutes! But don’t worry, the B-Movie Cast is ready to make it all right! So get ready for some fun as we break down the movie and live our best life checking out what is really a 96 minute Tangerine Dream music video!

On this episode of the B-Movie Cast Mary and Nic are joined by two special guests from the U.K.: show regular, photographer & writer Mark Mawston and filmmaker John Stevenson (director of “Kung Fu Panda” and “Sherlock Gnomes”).
We start the show off with our top movie picks from 2019. We’re not just talking new films, we’re also looking at any movies we saw for the first time in 2019. Then the gang is taking a look at one of Clive Barker’s most interesting, and controversial, films: “Nightbreed” from 1990. This is a film that turns the idea of horror on its head. It asks the question “what if the monsters were the heroes?”. While Barker’s original film clocked in at over 2.5 hours, the studio released a heavily edited cut that just ran 1 hour & 42 minutes. However, we’re checking out one of the ‘director’s cut versions which has more than 20 minutes of additional footage.
So join us in looking at a lost gem featuring amazing make-up and practical special effects as well as a truly original story from one of horror’s legends; Clive Barker!
