The B-Movie Cast is back and Mary and Nic are in for a treat as Juan brings out the 1968, female luchador film and extreme copyright violation that is “The Bat Woman” (AKA “La Mujer Murcielago”). Yes, she’s a crime-fighting, millionaire who dresses up in bits and pieces of the Adam West Batman suit to form her ‘Bat-kini’. She’s saving the world’s wrestlers from a fish-loving mad scientist who’s using pineal fluid from athletes to create his own personal fishman! So, grab some tartar sauce and your lobster bib and get ready to take a bite out of “The Bat Woman” on the new B-Movie Cast!

Eric Brooks, our resident Egyptologist and Indiana Jones aficionado, joins Mary and Nic to take a look at Steven Spielberg and George Lucas’s homage to the B-movies that inspired them. So, grab your bullwhip, fedora, and any random ancient treasures you have lying around, and get ready for “Raiders of the Lost Ark” on the B-Movie Cast!

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!

That’s OK though, because there was enough spooky fun to keep it real as we check out “The Skull” from 1965.
