Bride of Monster Kid Radio

Monster Kid Radio has been tackling some 1970s monster movies lately, and since Derek misses the bonafide classics, it's time to howl at the moon with Stephen D. Sullivan as they discuss The Wolf Man (dir. George Waggner). One of the icons of classic Universal monsters, Lon Chaney's portrayal of Larry Talbot is affecting and effecting, and Steve and Derek just can't enough. Kenny's Look at Famous...

Is it too easy of a joke to say the 1970s . . . sucked? Get it? Because . . . vampires? Nevermind. This week on Monster Kid Radio, Derek is joined by filmmaker Sébastien Godin (Slimoids, Lycanimator, Ouija Mummy) to talk about vampire movies of the 70s. They go over their own personal Top Three 1970s Vampire Movies lists, but that's not all. Seb is exploring his love of vampire films with his upco...

We're getting our kaiju on again this week on Monster Kid Radio when Good Beer Bad Movie Night's Pete Quint joins Derek to discuss the 1970 film Space Amoeba (dir. Ishirō Honda).

Not only is Derek excited to talk about the film, but he's also excited because it's al...

Everyone's B-Movie BFF, Kelly Hogaboom, joins Derek on Monster Kid Radio this week to discuss the 1973 film Terror in the Wax Museum (dir. Georg Fenady).

Podcaster/author/filmmaker Jonathan Inbody joins Derek this week to take on 1958's Giant from the Unknown (dir. Richard E. Cunha).

Exciting! Derek and Jonathan even nerd out over copyright law for a b...

It's not Monster Kid Radio. It's Manster Kid Radio this week as artist and ceramist Jim Moore joins Derek to discuss the 1959 film The Manster (dir. George Breakston).

You'll be able to see Jim at the upcoming Son of Monsterp...

Author David Annandale joins Derek this week to take on the film The Devil Commands (dir. Edward Dmytryk). David spends a lot of time in the Black Library, but can even that prepare him for the cosmic horror of this 1941 Karloff classic?

I'm living vicariously through Dan Day, Jr. Why? Because he was on set during the production of 2019's House of the Gorgon (dir. Joshua Kennedy). And, not only was he on set, he assisted behind the camera . . . and he appeared on screen with a Hammer legend. He tells us about his amazing experience in this episode of Monster Kid Radio. Also, since House of the Gorgon features four mainstays of cla...
