Finding Monster Right

Do humans deserve to keep ruling Earth, or is it time to give the apes a chance? Or is there a secret, third, weird option? Your not one, not two, but THREE hominid co-hosts put their heads together and decide the fate of the Planet of the Apes!

It took over half a century for the stop-motion movie The Primevals (2023) to finally get released. This grand tale of lizard men, yetis, different lizard men, and different yetis (who are also lizard men) left us with a concern that rarely gets addressed in "lost world" media: What happens next?

A realistic, two-hour dinner conversation doesn't look like the kind of movie where you'd find a monster, right? But looks can be deceiving. This week, we're going where no monster podcast has gone before!

Be not afraid! Eternal bliss doesn't pay the bills, so it's time for the heavenly host of angels to proclaim with unending hymns the reason for the 6,000-year gap in their resumé.

Discord (“I want to dig for fossils and then eat every one I find to obliterate all eviden...

Way back in cowboy times, a small town in Iowa was visited by a pterodactyl with laser vision. What better way is there to start the morning than by unpacking that?

In 1975, Universal Pictures released Jaws, the birth of a new shark-centric media landscape. But after the critical and financial failure of its three subsequent installments, the franchise was indefinitely abandoned. Now, in 2025, the powers that be have called on two snarky monster devotees to unearth the concept. We're Adam and Allie. Are You Afraid of the Shark Universe? Discord (“And you...

Adam was missing for several weeks in 2023. Upon his return, something still felt wrong. Imagination, it turns out, is a very dangerous thing.

More people are familiar with the David Bowie song "Cat People" than they are the 1982 film for which the song was written. This tale of sex panthers, melting corpses, and unethical zoos has us wondering exactly how uncomfortable we should be the next time we find ourselves in a pet store.

As a kid, did you ever tell a whimsical story to explain why you got so dirty playing outside? In doing so, did you ever convince Arthur Conan Doyle that you could manifest fairies with your mind?

The timeline has changed quite a bit since we went on break, so now we're back to save humanity from the rise of the machines! AI can't take our jobs if we take AI's job first, and the most prominent of those jobs is sending Terminators back in time to kill John Connor. Come with us if you want a living wage!

War! The Merchant Church has begun its full assault on the Falcon Corps. Their ultimate weapon is ready to reduce Cay Caldera to a scorched rock upon the Stygian Sea.

Continuing our high-flying D&D adventure, Wren (Allie) and Fletcher (Ben) keep a promise they made ten years ago to Demetria the sphinx.

We hope your ready to brush up on tooth fairy lore, because we have questions! What's the point of collecting children's teeth? What does the Tooth Fairy even look like?
