I’m a monster kid raised in the 50s and 60s. I spent a large amount of time in the big one screen theatres with balconies and beautiful décor. I can remember many Saturdays when my parents would drop off my friends and I and we would spend all day watching the Universal monsters along with all the giant atomic bugs and sci-fi films in a theatre filled with nothing but screaming kids. I can also remember my grandmother taking me to see “Horrors of the Black Museum” and waking up with nightmares! Back then going to the movies was an event.

Over the years I never lost my love for classic horror and sci-fi films. So with that in mind, I thought I would start this podcast and talk about the films I love. Over the years we have built a great community of people from around the globe. Some I have met and found that they are fantastic people.

So I hope you enjoy the podcast!

Episode 516: Looker

The B-Movie Cast didn’t ask ChatGPT for anything about this one, instead we asked filmmaker Brian Cunningham to join Mary and Nic for the 1981 sci fi thriller “Looker”. This trip into the uncanny valley was written and directed by Michael Crichton. “Looker” has the honor of being the first film to show a solid looking 3D model of a human, getting to theaters just months before Disney’s “Tron”. It also asks the important question- “if we cut out all the key plot dialogue will Susan Dey still take her clothes off?”. Join the B-Movie Cast for this trip to the uncanny valley of plot holes with Michael Crichton’s “Looker” because we’ve got it all man, we’ve got it made.
