Author Shawn Pryor joins us to discuss his new book, and whaddyaknow, he loves talkin' monster movies as much as we do! We get REAL nerdy on this one. Ever hear of the tokusatsu show, VR Troopers? Well, you will. That’s just one example of the rich kaiju legacy in film, comics, toys, video games, and more. Thank you for joining us as we share our passion for Godzilla and all his friends (even Reptilicus gets some love!). As Shawn says, "there's a Godzilla for everyone". Ain't it the truth.

Plus, the latest monster movie news and a Minya’s Mailbox not to be missed. Then our one true god, Peter Lorre, returns to review 1920's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

The werewolf film that started it all: full moons, silver weapons, wolfsbane. Yeah, this wolf is the man. And his hair is perfect too. Helping us out is Universal monster aficionado Brian Rodriguez of Instagram's @UniMonsters; we discuss Chaney wrestling a bear, Curt Siodmak's psychoanalysis, and if this is the most tragic of the Universal Monsters. Plus, we continue our Trivia That Challenged the World and hear from Peter Lorre as he reviews F.W. Murnau's Faust.

Heads roll (12 to be exact!) in this must-see monster movie about a rampaging mutant lizard in Chicago's Field Museum. It's a throwback creature feature with some premo Tommy Wiseau-level acting, dubious '90s CGI, medulla oblongatas, and more. Along the way we discuss A Nightmare on Elm Street 2, killer machine movies, Megalopolis, and get a call on the Kaiju Hotline. Then, Peter Lorre reviews Metropolis with Pierre and a bucket of fish heads.

Gladiator apes! Renaissance apes! Apes playing baseball! Sadly, none of these ideas made it into the film we got, where Mark Wahlberg crash lands on a planet of... apes... and leads a rebellion. We discuss the bizarre production journey of Tim Burton's infamous entry of the famed franchise, and welcome Naomi to help us out! Plus, Peter Lorre is back to review The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

Killer brains are on the loose and only the Army can stop them now! Or, at least deny their radiation tests had anything to do with it. Oops.
