Hey B-Movie Cast fans in this episode Mary, Nic and special guest Brian Cunningham take a trip to Perfection, Nevada to see what’s shaking with the 1990 monster flick “Tremors”. It’s a personal favorite of Brian and Nic’s which we discovered Mary hadn’t seen before! “Tremors” is an ode to classic sci-fi/horror movies with just the right blend of humor and horror. The film features snappy dialogue and loveable characters including Val and Earl (Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward). So grab a beer, but watch out for Graboids, as we check out “Tremors”.

This episode of the B-Movie cast is a bit different. Mary was going to be out of touch for 8-12 weeks with the nuclear plant shutdown she normally works. That didn’t happen because she retired from that gig due to concerns about working with a lot of people, in confined spaces for 12 hours a day, 6 days a week (and we’re glad she decided to quit that gig). However, in preparation for her outage we recorded a few episodes to have ‘in the can’. This is one of those episodes!
Special guest host for this show is Nik Havert! He’s the man behind the new book “The Golden Age of Disaster Cinema: A Guide to the Films, 1950-1979”. He also loves to introduce people to new music through his blog – 7th Level Music (http://www.7thlevelmusic.com/). So we asked him to do a special music cast for the show! Tune and check out some of Nik’s favorite monster themed music!
Also- for a bit of fun- check out this video from artist Casey Knoll. Casey did the cover for the new “B-Movie Cookbook: The 1960s” and she created a video showing how she worked her magic! It’s amazing to see the images come to life and it’s also got a kicking-60s theme-song montage to accompany it!

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!

It’s the Halloween season and the B-Movie Cast has some spooky-fun treats for you! This episode Mary and Nic are joined by Brian Cunningham from Thoughtfly Studios! Brian and Nic worked together on the films “Loss Prevention” and “Wretch”, but for this show, we thought we’d talk about Brian’s documentary “Monsters Wanted”. It’s a fun and touching look into the world of haunted attractions, or ‘haunts’. This film shows that sometimes the scariest thing you can do is follow your dreams, though guys with chainsaws are still pretty terrifying! So grab a beer, warm up a TV dinner and enjoy the first of 2018 Halloween casts!
