Cinema B

Cinema B is the home of the Movietronic and the best of the worst movies ever made. Your hosts, John and Andie, take you into the worlds of giant Gila Monsters and Phantoms from 10,000 Leagues and just maybe, they'll open your eyes to something you may have missed.

These films certainly seem comical at first but, as your hosts point out, these films do have surprisingly much to say about the world at the time they were made. The world more commonly known as Popular Culture.
