Episode 501: Steve Vertlieb Interview


The B-Movie Cast is back from a brief hiatus following our 500th episode! This show is a bit different from most as instead of featuring a film, Mary, Nic, and Mark Mawston are joined by Steve Vertlieb! Steve is one of America’s leading film archivists and historians who is a true living link between the golden age of Hollywood and today! A cinema journalist and film music educator Steve is a bit different from some film historians. Many of them collect film memorabilia, Steve, collects friendships, memories and stories! Join us as we talk with Steve about some of his most memorable friends among many of Hollywood’s greatest directors, producers, actors, special effects masters and music composers! Steve is a true wealth of knowledge and we’re very lucky to have him on the show as we talk about everything from Ray Bradbury’s 16mm camera troubles to Ray Harryhausen and more!

Episode 459: The Beast of Hollow Mountain

The B-Movie Cast is back! Mary had to take some time off to get her new bionic hip installed and now she’s ready to slow-mo run with Steve Austin… or at least finally climb the stairs back up the B-Movie Cast studio! So with Mary at the top of the stairs we thought we’d check out the other cowboy-dinosaur movie: “The Beast of Hollow Mountain”. This one is based on a story by Willis O’Brian and was a joint Mexican/American film production.

So get ready for 60 minutes of cowboy politics followed by 19 minutes of Cowboys vs. Dinosaurs with “The Beast of Hollow Mountain” in this episode of The B-Movie Cast!

By the way- Mary LOVES her hip surgeon! She loves him so much that we’ve got a link to his website here and in the cool links section. 
So if you need a new hip and feel like heading to South Carolina… here’s the doctor dude to call:
