Episode 473: Predator


In this episode of the B-Movie cast we’re saying the “B” stands for “Blockbuster” as we do the first in our series of big studio B-Movies that were summer blockbusters! What blockbuster are we checking out? The 1987 sci-fi/action classic “Predator” staring 2 future Governors and launching a franchise that is still going strong to this day. To talk about this iconic film Mary and Nic are joined by Matt Niehoff. Matt, along with his partner Brian Cunningham, is the co-owner of ThoughtFly Studios in Louisville Kentucky. He’s worked on numerous film and television projects and was the co-writer and director of “Loss Prevention”. Matt is also an action film aficionado and the perfect choice to check out this classic. So grab a drink, heat up that TV dinner, and get ready to ‘get to the choppa!’ as we check out “Predator”.

Episode 470: Santo en Anónimo Mortal AKA- Santo in Anonymous Death Threat

The B-Movie Cast is back! This time Mary and Nic are joined by Juan to explore serious social issues and… oh who am I kidding? We’re here to watch Santo, the masked wrestler kick some Nazi butt in “Santo en Anónimo Mortal” AKA- “Santo in Anonymous Death Threat”. This 1975 Santo flick features the masked wrestler solving murders with his two companions and sporting the latest in business suit fashion. It also has a whole bunch of Nazis who have apparently turned what looks like the ballroom at the Mexico City Holiday Inn into their nefarious, and extremely over-chaired, lair! So, grab a cerveza and tune it to “Santo en Anónimo Mortal” AKA- “Santo in Anonymous Death Threat”.

Mark is a professional photographer who has worked with the Bond film promotions team for over a decade. He was involved in the 50th-anniversary documentary and has met more of the Bond creators and stars than anyone outside of Roger Moore!
