After a long hiatus the B-Movie Cast is back! Just in time for Halloween- Nic, Mary and Juan check out a cowboys meet monsters flick from 1959 called “The Living Cofin”. This Spanish language flick was a lot of fun, and even more entertaining since Nic and Mary don’t speak Spanish and had to rely on Youtube’s auto-translate subtitles to understand things. That’s some amazing technology, but it doesn’t always hit the nail on the head with its English versions if you know what I mean! So, tune in and check out murder plots, haunted swamps, hayloft naps, horses that are smarter the people, zombie/ghosts, and absolutely no animated coffins despite the title… and a whole lot more fun on this episode of the B-Movie Cast!

This episode of the B-Movie Cast, Mary and Nic are joined by Juan to take a look at a classic of Mexican Cinema, that somewhat defies description: “The Exterminating Angel” (Spanish: El ángel exterminador). It’s a 1962 Mexican surrealist film written and directed by Luis Buñuel. It tells a story we can all identify with, what do you do when your party guests won’t leave? Only in this case there is an unknown compulsion preventing these wealthy aristocrats from vacating the scene. Not only can these folks not leave, but other people can’t come in either. It’s surrealism at its best with as much backstabbing, in fighting, classism, and scheming as any reality TV show, only this one doesn’t let the players exit… oh and there’s a bear too because… why not? Check out “The Exterminating Angel” on the B-Movie Cast!
