After a longer than expected hiatus, the B-Movie Cast is back again! This time Mary and Nic are joined by gentle listener, and fellow podcaster Bill Mize! Bill took a break from board gaming and podcasting to join us for a family film of a different sort- the 1974 cult classic “It’s Alive”! 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”!

In this episode of the B-Movie Cast Mary and Nic are joined by author Fiona Young-Brown. Fiona has a lot to say about our movie: “Squirm”. While it’s a pretty standard horror fare from the 70s, with enough early FX artist Rick Baker magic to make it stand out, what really got Fiona’s attention was the southern gothic aspect of the film. Mary, who’s lived in the south for over 20 years, can’t quite see the forest for the trees when it comes to southern gothic, but she has figured out what really gets to her when it comes to horror films, and it’s not the gore. So, tune in and find out what’s wiggling through our minds after checking out “Squirm”. If you don’t then remember; you’ll be the worm face!
Also- We have a special feature video- author, and B-Movie Cast fan Dax Bradley, checks out his new copy of “The B-Movie Cookbook: the 1960s!” in a cool unboxing video!!
