Episode 466: Rasputin, The Mad Monk


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! Matt is joining us to take a deep dive into the world of Rasputin… well at least according to Hammer Studio’s 1966 film: “Rasputin, The Mad Monk”. Seems this historical flick is even less history-based than many, but with good reason! So, grab yourself a glass of vodka and get ready to go a little mad with “Rasputin, The Mad Monk”!

Episode 465: Secret of the Incas

The B-Movie Cast is back! In this episode, Mary and Nic are joined by Eric Brooks. Eric is our resident Egyptologist and Indiana Jones cosplayer, so we decided to check out a recommendation of his: the 1954 Paramount adventure film “The Secret of the Incas”. Watch as Charlton Heston shows us what Indiana Jones would be like if Indy was a greedy, womanizing, con-man… and yet Nicole Maurey still wants to find his treasure! So grab your fedora and leather jacket and get ready for adventure on this episode of The B-Movie Cast!

Speaking of adventure… Here’s some pics from Eric when he visited Machu Picchu and when he cosplays as Indiana Jones! 

Episode 464: Black Sunday- Dedicated to John Richardson


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!

Episode 463: The Phantom of the Convent

The B-Movie Cast is back & this week Mary, Nic, & Juan are taking a trip south of the border for a classic Mexican horror film: “El Fantasma del Convento”- “The Phantom of the Convent”. This is considered to be one of the first true horror films from Mexican cinema & it’s quite a treat, even if the ‘convent’ is full of monks, not nuns… So grab a Cerveza & get ready for the new episode of the B-Movie Cast!

 

Episode 462: 3615 Code Père Noël -AKA- Deadly Games

Merry Christmas B-Movie Cast fans! This episode has a special holiday treat from France: “Deadly Games” AKA “3615 Code Père Noël”. It’s the film that we’re pretty sure John Hughes watched in 1989 and said “let’s do that only with 3 Stooges humor instead of murder”. It’s “Home Alone” on steroids and a first for Mary and Juan. Now let’s see if Nic’s winning streak will continue, Mary liked “Tremors” and “Big Trouble in Little China”, but can Nic really pick three in a row that Mary doesn’t hate? Tune in to find out the answer, and stick around to hear why René Manzor is Nic’s new spirit animal! Grab a beer and get ready for some French Yuletide cheer with “Deadly Games” AKA “3615 Code Père Noël”.
