Episode #138: "Creature Stole My Twinkie" | The Monster Squad (1987)

Thirty years before this podcast begins it was a time of darkness in the Monster Squad clubhouse. Fast forward three decades to a time when John and a small band of freedom fighters (Pat) conspired to rid the world of vampires and monsters... and to save mankind from the forces of eternal evil by producing a podcast so amazing that the entire world would listen to it and marvel....
They blew it.

Episode #137: "Groovy" | Evil Dead II (1987)

Legend has it, that it was written by the dark ones: NECRONOMICON EX MORTES; Roughly translated...The Book of the Dead. To trace the origin of the Book, we must go back...back...to a day when spirits ruled the earth. When the seas ran red with blood. It was this blood that was used to ink the book. It was also with this blood that we recorded this podcast. Even though that doesn't make any sense at all. But it doesn't have to... it's Evil Dead II.

Episode #136: "Stop A War With Love" | Wonder Woman (2017)

She's come to the world of men and we don't deserve her. Much to the surprise of movie executives — but not movie fans — Wonder Woman has been the biggest success of the DCEU so far.

Words to live by: You don't tug on superman's cape. You don't spit into the wind. Hermanos Rodriguez do not approve of drugs. Don't f*** with the babysitter.

Episode #133: "I'm Sorry Dave" | Alien: Covenant (2017)

David has a bit of a dysfunctional relationship with his father and — by default — the rest of the human race. As a result, some decisions he made 10 years ago, coinciding with a run-in with an alien race that may have been our creators, has lead him to where he is today: alone on a dead planet, tinkering and learning the flute. Oh... and he's got a connection to a certain xenomorph we all know and love.
