In what is perhaps one of the oddest double-features Jeff and Rich have ever encountered, the two brave podcasters face Hedorah (the Smog Monster) and the temporarily decapitated head of Ray Milland. During the respective running times of their films, both monsters evolve in ways possible only in the early 1970s.

.

Spoiler alert if you didn't know: pollution and racism are bad. Yes, these movies have messages! Occasionally heavy-handed, but always fun, Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster and The Thing with Two Heads are worth watching if you haven't seen them. Still not sure? Then listen to what Jeff, Rich and their special guest have to say...

This is a very special episode as we're joined by one of the stars of, not one, but two, of the Ray Harryhausen Sinbad films: Kurt Christian! Kurt went from the hero Haroun in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973), to the villain Rafi in Sinbad & the Eye of the Tiger (1977.) He has great stories to tell about the making of the films and even has a thing or two to say about our first film, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958.)

.

Thanks to Steve Turek for hosting the conversation and sharing it with all of us. You can listen to a full interview with Kurt Christian on episode 34 of the DieCast Movie Podcast:

Lon Chaney once told Boris Karloff, "“The trick in this business is to do something totally different from the rest so they’ll take notice of you.”

.

This month we celebrate the birthday of the great Lon Chaney, "Man of a Thousand Faces." You already know him from The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Phantom of the Opera, but get to know him from He Who Gets Slapped, The Monster, and The Unknown, as we celebrate his life and career.

We're back and ready to launch into cosmic adventure with Professor Bernard Quatermass! In 1955, he performed an "xperiment" of The Creeping Unknown. In 1957, he returned in a sequel (or is it a prequel?) to face an Enemy from Space. And in 1967, he went into the pit to encounter alien grasshoppers that travelled Five Million Years to Earth.

.

Which one is your favorite? Can you rank them like Richard, or do you have issues with commitment like Jeff? Please join us for the discussion. It's the one thing that may save us... and humanity.

Wow! It's been five years since Jeff and Richard sat down in front of a microphone and recorded their conversation about King Kong (1976.) 64+ episodes and more than 150 movies later, they're still plugging away at it. Who knows if they sound any better, but they're still having fun...

.

To celebrate, they concoct a theme for movies with the word "Five" in their titles: Five (1951), DImension 5 (1966), and Devil Times Five (1974.) Three different decades... three very different movies, but each a "classic" in its own special way.

It's Naschy November as Jeff and Richard discuss the life and career of Paul Naschy, focusing on three specific movies: Vengeance of the Zombies (1973), The Mummy's Revenge (1975), and The Beast & the Magic Sword (1983.) They disagree on which one is their favorite, but not on the fact that, while Paul Naschy films may be an acquired taste, they're often a delicious Eurohorror feast.

Happy Halloween from Jeff and Richard as we take a look at the 1960-62 television anthology, Thriller, hosted by Boris Karloff. We each pick two episodes to "review." For Jeff it's Pigeons from Hell and the Weird Tailor. For Richard it's The Hungry Glass and Parasite Mansion. (Thank you for your suggestions on which episodes we should watch!)

Countdown to Halloween:

The power of Satan compels you... to listen to this month's episode of The Classic Horrors Club podcast! You'll learn how, at the peak of 1970s "Satanic Panic," three movies had more in common than simple devil worship: The Brotherhood of Satan (1971), The Devil's Rain (1975), and Race with the Devil (1975.)

.

Jeff and Richard have one of their biggest disagreements about one of them, but escape the podcast without bloodshed. The latter laments an abundance of stupid decisions, while the former insists there wouldn't be any movies without them. What would Shatner do?!? (or Lara Parker?!?)
