Xenorama, the Podcast of Heroes and Monsters

In which X7 takes a look at a movie for the first time, The Aztec Mummy! It is a very atmospheric film, but it is padded with a lot of extra padding. Hence the term padded, right? It is the first in a pure trilogy, and an accidental franchise of sorts. Let's dig into this mummy's tomb!

In which X7 reviews four more episodes of the rather fantastic Phantom 2040 series! Every episode does indeed build upon the previous one, as the continuing characters show up to help or hinder our heroes. Let's roll!

In which X7 struggles to say positive things about a movie he should love, Planet of Dinosaurs. The dinosaurs are great. The rest of the movie... well, watch and find out! Let's roll!

In which X7 talks about a really fun and slightly unusual martial arts/superhero movie, the Heroic Trio! It was eye-opening in 1993. at least to most Western audiences! See how it fares nowadays! Let the heads roll!

In which X7 does an actual seven song Friday, featuring raucous rockabilly music! We did skip the more common and popular acts, but we span the gamut of time and space! Let's rock and roll!

In which X7 reviews Riley Black's fun book, My Beloved Brontosaurus! First published in 2013, it chronicles both Riley's history with dinosaurs and the way dinosaurs have changed since humans have discovered them. It is probably close to many dinosaur fans stories! Let us dig in to the book!

In which X7 talks about a very effective little sci-fi thriller, The Monolith Monsters! It is from 1957, and works quite well for the short-ish running time. Never ever trust rocks from space! Let's dig into it now! Geology rocks!

In which X7 reviews four more episodes of Phantom 2040, and we get more mysteries solved! These are about the characters as well as what Rebecca Madison is up to! This show is quite good, and needs to be seen by millions more people! Let's roll!

In which X7 reviews the 1997 Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery movie! It is his favorite, so of course this episode is a bit longer than usual. Let us know what you think, baby! Let's roll!

In which X7 looks at a really fun ninja movie, Watari, Ninja Boy! We are not sure why it never got brought over here, though there is a LOT of bloodless violence and death presented. Too bad, it is way fun! Let these heads roll!

In which X7 reviews three great episodes and one standard one of the splendid Square Pegs show! This is our penultimate review of the show! It is totally new wave, not punk! Lets roll!

In which X7 reviews the delightful Little Norse Prince, aka Hols, Prince of the Sun from 1968! This is a movie that some kids saw on the telly back in the 70s, and then some did not. Guess who did not? Let's roll!

In which X7 talks about his favorite (more or less) aquatic superheroes! This one was a lot of fun to do, and we hope you enjoy it! Let's take a deep dive into this theme!

In which X7 reviews the amazing 1959 movie, The Mysterians! This was Toho's first sci-fi spectacle, and it delivers the goods! Let's roll!

In which X7 reviews four more episodes, well, not quite, of the Phantom 2040 series! Why only sorta four episodes? You will have to watch and find out! Let us roll!

In which X7 talks about a movie that far too entertaining than it should be- The Earth vs. The Spider! Even though that does not happen at all. Be that as it may, it is still quite fun, like a lot of Bert I. Gordon's movies. Let's rock and roll!

In which X7 dodges two flying guillotines whilst reviewing The Fatal Flying Guillotine(s) of 1977! Is it a worthy successor to the other movies featuring the bizarre weapon? Let us know in the comments! Let's roll!

In which X7 talks about a movie he has now seen twice, Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains! It is a rather bleak and unflinching look at the rock and roll lifestyle, and how it can warp even the noblest of causes. Take a look, if you dare...

In which X7 reviews four more episodes of Square Pegs, which concludes with their Yuletide episode. This was an hour long special, and so far, it is the best episode of the series! Run, Rudolph, run!

In which X7 reveals he is a pro-wrestling fan, at least of the matches and territories in the 1980s. The AWA was the territory of Fossil Bed in the 80s, so he reviews 7 matches of his favorite tag-team, The Road Warriors! Ring the damn bell!

In which X7 takes a dive into 1959's The Alligator People! Sure, there is only one alligator person, but let's not be pedantic. It is a pretty fun and effective movie, overall. It has a great cast! Let's jump in!

In which X7 articulates episodes 16-19 of Phantom 2040! These are good episodes, and we get some wrap ups to earlier episodes here. We also get knowledge of Graft's past! Let's roll!

In which X7 looks at the delirious (and rather delicious) Mexican movie La Mujer Murcielago, AKA The Batwoman! This 1968 movie is a rather blatant attempt to capitalize on the 66 Batman show, but it is very entertaining! Let's roll!

In which X7 reviews the wild Maciste in Hell, aka The Witch's Curse! A peplum from 1962, it feature Maciste in Scotland. Yes, you read that right, Scotland. X7 has a theory about that as well. Let's roll!

In which X& rocks out to the seminal rock and roll movie, Rock Around the Clock! Spoiler, he really enjoyed it! Lots of great tunes which make a formulaic plot a lot of fun! Let's get ready to rock and roll!
