The B-Movie Cast decides to get our feet wet this episode when we check out “Island of the Fishmen” (Italian: L’isola degli uomini pesce)! Joining Mary and Nic is special guest, is podcaster and cool man-about-town, Bill Mize. This Italian flick from 1979 had a bunch of walking-in-the-jungle scenes cut and gratuitous amounts of Cameron Mitchell added in, but it still flopped in the US. Even the often scantily clad Bond girl, Barbara Bach couldn’t save it. That said, the film boasts some surprisingly good special effects and more fishmen than Red Lobster on a Friday night. So, grab some tarter sauce and get ready for some fun with “Island of the Fishmen” on the B-Movie Cast!

Writer, director Larry Cohen works out some daddy issues in this film about a mutant, killer baby, and a father torn between his repulsion at the monster and his love for his child. It’s a better film than it should be, with social messages, character growth, and a couple of quick looks at FX master Rick Baker’s crazy killer baby suit! Get ready for some crazy baby physics and a lot of weirdness as the B-Movie Cast checks out “It’s Alive”!

This episode of the B-movie Cast is a Juan pick- “El Monstruo de los Volcanes” from 1963. It’s a Mexican monster flick featuring an abominable snowman creature living in the desert, in a cave, under a volcano… yeah not much snow for him to be abominable in here, but that’s beside the point. Juan breaks it down for us while Nic has a breakdown about the idea of karate vs Yeti! We also discuss the future of movie/themed conventions and why Mary will be stuck downstairs for 6 weeks.
So grab some a cold cerveza, get some popcorn and enjoy “El Monstruo de los Volcanes” (The Monster of the Volcano) on this episode of the B-Movie cast!
