  • Episode 525: Wolfen -1981
    Sep 9 2024

    The B-Movie Cast is back and this time Nic and Mary are joined by special guest Eric Brooks. The gang check out one of the 1981 cinematic Werewolf movie trinity: “Wolfen”. We’ve got an apocalyptic looking New York neighborhood mixed with a liberal dose of Native American folklore and some sinister urban wolves all stirred up into the most underrated of 1981’s three entries in the Werewolf genre!

    Here’s a bonus- this website does an amazing job of ‘then-and-now’ for the New York City of “Wolfen” watch the film (we spoil it big time anyway) and then check out the site here- https://nycinfilm.com/2019/10/31/wolfen-1981/

    Also of note – the B-Movie Cast will be going on hiatus (in case you hadn’t noticed). But like the Drive-In, The B-Movie Never dies so stay tuned!

    Final note- From Nic to fan favorite Mark Mawston: We had some feedback that wasn’t favorable to Mark or myself. I’m sorry Mark for not sticking up for you when we aired that feedback. That one’s on me and I hope you’ll forgive me.

    Keep your noses in the wind and your tails to yourselves and keep watching the skies!

  • Episode 524: Half Human (Japanese: Jūjin Yuki Otoko}
    Apr 28 2024
    The B-Movie Cast is back and this time we’re searching for the Abominable Snow man of the Himalayas. Only we couldn’t afford a trip to Napal, so we had to settle for John Caradine telling us all about how they found one in Nagano Japan! Join Mary, Nic, and Juan as we check out “Half Human” (original Japanese title: “Jūjin Yuki Otoko” meaning ‘Beast/Forest Man, Snow Man”. In typical 1950s fashion, when it was released in the US, they stuck some American actors into cut scenes and built the story around them. In this case John Caradine narrates the whole film as a flashback as told to him by a Japanese colleague. Get ready for a whole lot of walking around in the woods and a monster covered all over with fur, but still somehow suffering from male pattern baldness! The B-Movie cast crew did a double header on this one, checking out the original Japanese version from 1955 and the American release from 1957. So, grab your skis and get ready for some fun with “Half Human” on the B-Movie Cast!

    Dec 25 2023

     


    The B-Movie Cast is in the holiday spirit this year with a tale of death by plane crash, jealous murder, and holiday cheer! That’s right Mary, Nic and Juan are checking out “Beyond Christmas” AKA “Beyond Tomorrow”, a 1940 holiday tale of three rich old men living together in New York who decide to invite strangers into their home for Christmas and then come back to haunt them when the three dudes meet an untimely end in a plane crash! Beyond Christmas is no “Beyond Thunderdome”, but it’s definitely worth a little yule-tide love this season. So, toss your wallet out the window and see who your having Christmas dinner with on this episode of The B-Movie Cast!
