Monster Mash

In this episode, the boys dream of ice areas as they chat about the Legiana: features such nonsense as "is Legiana the only new flying wyvern in MHW?" Make sure you stick around to the very end to find out Jay's favourite Black Eyed Peas song. Also, ping us a tweet if you missed the hunt snippets at the end - we're trying something new considering we're uploading the hunts in full now.

The boys wax lyrical about tar, peat and the Radobaan in a very sticky episode of Monster Mash. Enjoy!

In a Monster Mash first, Andy takes over the reins for editing and puts together a perfectly adequate cast. Enjoy.

This week, the boys are supposed to be discussing the big, good, fluffy bat Paolumu but it's honestly just a train wreck. Muss quite accurately likens it to this video. If you miss the good old days when man in Japan Luke Summerhayes provided excellent monster-based content, you're in luck! Check out his new video and podcast series Luke Loves Pokémon. Find it on twitter @LukeLovesPKMN Like what y...

Just a three-man show this week as Andy, Jay, and Jas talk you through a blue dinosaur with a light bulb on his head.

The design, hunt and ecology of the Anjanath

Join the lads for another episode of Monster Mash in which they discuss this big lightning squirrel lizard. The lads talk about ol' Tobes himself alongside discussing the map design of the Ancient Forest. Enjoy!

Big fish must die

He's big. He's green. He's a lizard. He's a frog. He's a bully. He's a flower. He's a bitch. He's a lover. He's a child. He's a mother. He's a sinner. He's a saint. He does not feel ashamed. He's Pukei Pukei!

He block. He knock. But most importantly, he love rock. This week, the lads discuss the adorable chicken Kulu Ya Ku. And because Luke is still travelling Japan, nobody was on hand to bring up real life prehistoric analogues like the terror bird. Shocking.

After a two week break, Monster Mash is back!  It's time for season three, and this is the one you've all been waiting for: we're covering the monsters from Monster Hunter World! Some slight changes going forwards. You'll be hearing less of Luke (though he's still producing and editing, and writing this in the third person) but instead you'll hear from Alex Musselwhite, who'd pretty chill. We're g...

This week, we've got some outtakes for you. We all talk a lot of rubbish, Andy disconnects, and Luke is unexpectedly interrupted by both his sister and his mother on different occasions. The show is taking a brief break but we'll be back better than ever to get stuck into the content we know you really crave: Monster Hunter World Monsters!

It's the final monster of Monster Hunter XX! The Atlal Ka, or Atoraru Ka, hasn't ever appeared in an English game and none of us speak good Japanese, so expect some nonsense. Luke's audio was a little better in the cast this week, but unusable in the hunt. Easy come, easy go. Next week, we'll have some outtakes for you. After that, the show is taking a brief break but we'll be back better than eve...

It's the last day of Elder Dragon Month and the penultimate monster before we move onto the Monster Hunter World beasties! It's a bit of a long one this week again, but we are discussing and hunting three big elder dragons. Also, Luke's audio is a little out of sync and choppier than usual as he's recording from Japan on his travel writing laptop. I've done what I can to fix it, but apologies if i...

Elder Dragon Month continues! A three-man cast this week, bringing you our longest, and possibly stupidest, episode to date. Andy and Jas have fought Gogmazios before, but Jay and Luke haven't. Luke's too busy being in Japan like a big weeaboo, but Jay's here and ready to draw a picture of Gogmazios based on Andy and Jas' descriptions. Look at the album art to see how that turned out . . . Links o...

The design, hunt and ecology of the Lao Shan Lung.

The lads are raring to get hunting in Monster Hunter World, but we've kindly decided to take some time to chat about our early impressions of the game. We've roped in Muss (who you may have heard drunkenly chatting about monsters back on our previous project Guesstus Flask) to give a new player's perspective. This one's edited by Jay as Luke is otherwise indisposed travelling to a new world himsel...

The design, hunt and ecology of Monoblos and Diablos.

The design, hunt and ecology of the Nerscylla and Shrouded Nerscylla.

We know there's been some long ones lately, about some big serious wyverns, but here's a nice sensible length episode about a monster who isn't very sensible at all. Expert farts, burbs and silliness as we discuss a big stupid monkey.

Its the first Monster Mash of 2018 and its a bit of a long one as we cover two monsters: little baby Basarios and big bad Gravios. Some of us completed Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, so we may be a little tired of these monsters . . .

Merry Christmas! Because you've been good this year, we're releasing our Giadrome episode a week early. He's a snow monster, it counts as a Christmas special. Also, it features a spectacularly drunk Andrew Rice who has just returned from a Christmas party. If you like sensible monster chat, but dislike "the bantz", maybe give this one a miss. See you next year for better episodes about better mons...

Bloody hell, its only a proper episode of Monster Mash! We talk about the brute wyvern Barroth in our continuing mission to cover all the monsters in Monster Hunter XX, and spend an inordinately long time arguing about the weird Barroth none of us have even encountered yet in Monster Hunter Stories.

A slightly different episode this week, as the three PS4-owning members of the crew chat some sugar about the almighty Monster Hunter World and their experience of that game's beta. Don't worry, Luke will be back next week to discuss imaginary dinosaurs and dragons in excruciating detail.
