Bride of Monster Kid Radio

Will YOU get lost in The Maze (dir. William Cameron Menzies) with Derek and this week's guest, Jonathan Inbody? The only way to find out is to listen to this week's episode of Monster Kid Radio! When Jonathan isn't producing his X Meets Y Podcast, he's writing, he's making movies, and he's coming up with interesting takes on just-as-interesting movies like this week's film. Also this week we have...

David J. Skal (http://www.monstershow.net/) is someone whose name should not be unfamiliar to monster kids. He's a film historian. He's an author. He's a documentary producer. And he's one of us. The newest book from David J. Skal is Fright Favorites: 31 Movies to Haunt Your Halloween and Beyond, and it's available NOW. Skal's name ALONE should be enough to convince you to buy the book, but in cas...

It's about time for another doctor visit, and Monster Kid Radio has you covered! Dr. Gangrene - aka Larry Underwood - joins Derek this week to discuss his upcoming movie Tales from Parts Unknown. It's an anthology film, kind of like the movie they discuss this week - 1973's The Vault of Horror (dir. Roy Ward Baker). We also have Listener Feedback and Kenny's Look at Famous Monsters of Filmland, as...

One of Derek's favorite things about producing Monster Kid Radio is when he gets to watch a new-to-him classic, or not-so-classic, monster movie. That is exactly what happened this week when author David Annandale returns to the podcast with The Flesh Eaters (dir. Jack Curtis). There are so many disparate elements coming together in this movie - the creator of DC Comics' Doom Patrol, a "Speed Race...

How has Monster Kid Radio gone over 480 episodes and NOT covered 1943's Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (dir. Roy William Neill)?!? Let's correct that this week with special guest Ricardo Delgado! Ricardo and Derek discuss this iconic film, break down WHY it's iconic, and how it influenced the course of the rest of the monster movies to come after it. On top of that, Kenny also has another amazing...

Not every monster kid movie maker saved the movies they made with their friends when they were a kid, but Rob Hampton did, and we're better for it!

Kenny also has his Look at Famous Monsters of Filmland, and it's also time to annou...

This week, David Heath steps out of Dave's Corner of the Universe and onto Monster Kid Radio to join Derek to talk about one of their favorite writers - Robert E. Howard. How is this relevant to Monster Kid Radio? Howard's story "Pigeons from Hell" was adapted for television, directed by John Newland, and was introduced by one of MKR's Patron Saints - Boris Karloff. We have Listener Feedback as we...

Disney, Indiana's Tracey Morris steps outside the House of the Mouse this week for a stop by Monster Kid Radio to discuss 1940's The Invisible Woman (dir. A. Edward Sutherland). What do they see in this film? Insert obvious joke about not being able to see anything here. Kenny also returns this week with a special Look at Famous Monsters of Filmland.

Filmmaker Ansel Faraj and actor Nathan Wilson sit down with Derek to discuss their upcoming movie The Thousand and One Lives of Doctor Mabuse.

Also, Ansel tells us whether or not they were haunted during the produ...

Trust us. Derek and this week's guest, filmmaker Seb Godin, DO talk about 1971's Blood from the Mummy's Tomb (dir. Seth Holt, Michael Carreras) in this episode of Monster Kid Radio. But they also talk about other Hammer films, ideas for future episodes of Monster Kid Radio, Seb's new movie Blood Rites of the Vampyr and his upcoming movie Abominations of Frankenstein (check out the Kickstarter now!...

Go Forth and Game's Tom Gurganus wasn't playing around when he bought the movie Bride of the Gorilla (dir. Curt Siodmak) to Monster Kid Radio. (Tom might have stacked the deck.

(And later this week during our regularly scheduled episode of Monster Kid Radio, Kenny has a special Look at Famous Monsters of Filmland about T...

We've got a double dose of kaiju action this week on Monster Kid Radio! First, Kyle Yount drops by to talk with Derek about the upcoming virtual event Kaiju Con-Line. There's no G-Fest this year, but Kaiju Con-Line is looking to scratch that kaiju festival itch! Then, author Anthony Wendel discusses one of the coolest submarine movies you'll ever see - 1965's Atragon (dir. Ishirō Honda). There's a...

We may not get to see him in person over what would have been this summer's Monster Bash weekend, but we can hear from Ron Adams when he joins Derek on Monster Kid Radio this week. The Monster Bash Conference is the highlight of the year for so many monster kids, and even though the event had to be cancelled this year, there are still ways to connect with, and support, the Monster Bash. And, as al...

Derek's been sitting on The Colossus of New York (dir. Eugène Lourié) for a while now (there's a reason for that, and it gets mentioned in this episode). When The Haunted Cinema's Todd Brown suggested discussing this movie on Monster Kid Radio, Derek decided to finally give it a go! This is a little movie that asks some big questions, and - SPOILER ALERT! - it's GOOD. Kenny also brings his world-r...

We don't talk about Val Lewton enough on Monster Kid Radio. Let's fix that this week with Paul McComas joins Derek to talk about one of the Karloff-Lewton films - 1945's Isle of the Dead (dir. Mark Robson). And, of course, Kenny presents his Look at Famous Monsters of Filmland. Paul recently presented his Intergenerational Self-Collaboration films (courtesy of the Woodland Pattern Book Center). Wa...

Lucha de Mayo 2020 comes to an end with a look at 1964's Wrestling Women vs. The Aztec Mummy (dir. René Cardona).

Mark also has a special announcement about an upcoming video series you'll want to watch; we have Listener Feedback; information...

Week Three of Lucha de Mayo brings Blue Demon to the table when Kenny joins Derek to discuss 1968's Blue Demon Versus the Infernal Brains (aka Blue Demon contra cerebros infernales) (dir. Chano Urueta). Blue Demon has more than the powers of lucha available to him in this movie, but will it be enough to stop these brains? Listen to this week's Monster Kid Radio to find out! Plus Derek reacts to Mo...

Lucha de Mayo 2020 continues when podcaster/writer/filmmaker Jonathan Inbody returns to Monster Kid Radio with a luchador movie to discuss. The movie? 1962's Neutron vs. the Death Robots (dir. Federico Curiel). The film doesn't feature any of the "Big Three" of luchador films, but does that hurt it, or make it even more interesting? Listen to find out. Kenny has another Look at Famous Monsters of...

Happy Lucha de Mayo! To celebrate, Derek kicks off Monster Kid Radio's annual look at luchador-flavored genre films (or is it genre-flavored luchador films?) with the 1974 film Macabre Legends of the Colony (Leyendas macabras de la colonia) (dir. Arturo Martínez). Can the trios tag team of Mil Máscaras, Tinieblas, and El Fantasma Blanco save the day in this film this time around? We'll find out wh...

The 1970s was a good decade for horror on American television, and this week, the Diecast Movie Review's Steve Turek returns to the show to share his love of 1972's Gargoyles (dir.

If he's able to survive their encounter with gargoyle'd Bernie Casey, Derek will also review Listener Feedback and welcome Kenny back to the show for another...

Up until a few years ago, The Beast from the Beginning of Time (dir. Tom Leahy) was a movie that no one in the podosphere was talking about. That changed when Rich Chamberlain introduced it to the late podcasting legend Vince Rotolo, and since then, the movie has only gained notoriety . . . slowly. This week, Rich and Derek discuss the film and its growing legacy. Also, Steve Turek returns to revi...

You've no idea how long Derek has wanted to talk about Dracula vs. Frankenstein (dir. Al Adamson) on Monster Kid Radio, and, finally, after over 450 episodes, he's making it happen. He's joined by writer Stephen D. Sullivan to talk about the movie, what it means to them, and why it's a lot better than people give it credit for. Steve Turek stops by to go over the latest results in the 2020 Monster...
