Man Made Monstercast

This week on Man Made Monstercast , we're descending into one of the most surreal nightmares ever put on film: The Beyond . Lucio Fulci's 1981 masterpiece isn't interested in making sense—it's interested in making you feel trapped in a waking nightmare where the dead walk, reality crumbles, and every door might lead straight to Hell. Join us as we explore the film's unforgettab...

This week on Man Made Monstercast , we’re cracking open the vault for a throwback episode —a former Patreon exclusive —and revisiting the peak conansploitation trash-classic: Deathstalker . It’s got everything: a greasy anti-hero with main-character immunity, barbarian beefcake bravado, sorcerers doing the absolute most, cheap magic effects, sweaty arena nonsense, and that unmistakable “we shot th...

In this episode of Man Made Monstercast , r0b dives headfirst into conansploitation chaos with Ator, the Fighting Eagle —an Italian sword-and-sorcery oddity from Joe D’Amato . A prophecy-marked baby, a Spider Cult , an adoption-loophole romance, Amazons, a horny witch detour, the hilariously named Shield of Mordor , and—because this movie refuses to behave—a bear cub sidekick . Then it all climaxe...

A deep dive into the 1933 masterpiece - King Kong! Hail to the King!

So... What does r0b think? Is it what the weirdo's on both sides of the internet are saying?

I'm back with my first episode in quite a while! Be gentle! I'm rusty!

This is a little different. I'm finally tackling some of my favorite films. This is a bit more stripped down and conversational. Hope you enjoy!

Was this film based on true events? Will Franklin stop being an annoying dickcheese? Where the hell has r0b been? Who will survive and what will be left of them!? All this and more... check it out.

So, I had some unfortunate events befall me this weekend which ate up a lot of my time (and $$$) That said, I didn't have time to sit down and record a new episode. In it's place I'm posting an older episode of p0d 138 - which can serve as a kind of "free sample" to happens over on patreon! Enjoy!

Better late than never! I'm back, I'm sick and I'm getting right down to business! Join me as I talk about the production of Mad Max: Fury Road!

Sorry for the late upload. Holiday season has been brutal on my time management! I'm also still suffering from a little bit of a Halloween Hangover.
