Episode 493: Gothic


The B-Movie Cast is back and the countdown to our 500th episode continues! For film #8 in the countdown, we decided to try something freaky but tied to the classics: Ken Russell’s 1986 film “Gothic”! Joining us to look at this strange flick is filmmaker and show favorite: Brian Cunningham! Mary, Brian, and Nic try to make sense of Ken Russell’s interpretation of what happened in Lord Byron’s villa the night that Mary Shelley wrote her classic “Frankenstein”. Join us as we dive headfirst into the madness on episode 493 of the B-Movie Cast!

Episode 492: The Werewolf and the Yeti (AKA: Night of the Howling Beast)


The B-Movie Cast is taking a bite out of a Paul Naschy werewolf flick: “The Werewolf and the Yeti” (AKA: “Night of the Howling Beast”) for our #9 film in the countdown to our 500th episode! Joining Mary and Nic in this fur-fest is podcaster and Paul Naschy aficionado; Rod Barnett. Get ready for the werewolf vs yeti film with the least possible amount of yeti they could get by with. What it doesn’t have in yeti it makes up for with a whole lot of plot not getting in the way of the story. There’s also not a lot of continuity, but there is a ton of fun as we watch Paul Naschy try to pass off Spain for Tibet and silk shirts for hiking clothes! So, grab some tapas and a cold beverage and get ready for “The Werewolf and the Yeti” in this episode of The B-Movie Cast!

Episode 490: Return to Youth (Returno A La Juventud)


The B-Movie Cast is going south of the border again for some Twilight-Zone-like fun with “Return to Youth” (“Returno A La Juventud”). It’s the story of an old professor with the hots for a young student. When she rebuffs his advances he does what anyone would do; sells his soul to return to youth! Now he’s got to do the devil’s work or it’s all over for him! Join Mary, Nic, and Juan as they find out what happens when you make a deal with the devil in “Return to Youth”.

Episode 489: Father Frost (AKA Morozko)


Zdravstvuyte Comrades! Welcome to a new B-Movie Cast! This week Mary and Nic are joined by Matt Kowalski and we’re checking out another New Year’s favorite from behind the iron curtain: “Morozko” AKA- “Father Frost”! This flick has been lampooned on MST3K and Riff Trax, now it’s the B-Movie Cast’s turn to show some love to one of Gorky Studio’s most successful exports from the Soviet era! Tune in to learn about how Russian women can control time and space and why you should always be nice to that old dude in the woods! So, grab some vodka, a bowl of borscht, and get ready for “Father Frost” on the B-Movie Cast!

Episode 487: Christmas Holiday 1944


Tis the season for Christmas movies on the B-Movie Cast! First up, Mary, Nic, & Juan check out the 1944, vaguely Christmas-related, film noir: “Christmas Holiday”. This film is set at Christmas… and that’s about it. However, it’s got Deanna Durbin & Gene Kelly, so who cares! So get ready for a very noir Christmas with “Christmas Holiday” on The B-Movie Cast.

Episode 486: Near Dark



The B-Movie Cast is back! This episode Mary and Nic are joined by special guest film maker Michael Worth! The gang takes a look at the 1987 modern day vampire western “Near Dark” starring Bill Paxton, Lance Henricksen, and Tim Thomerson. As a special treat, Michael did an interview with Tim Thomerson just for the B-Movie Cast and we’ve included it, in it’s entirety in this episode! So grab a beer and some sunscreen and get ready for the coolest vampire movie that never says the word vampire: “Near Dark”.
