Fun Box Monster Podcast

If you took the Freaks, The X-Men, and Cats and mixed them up in a big bowl, you would get a big goopy mess not dissimilar to the movie Nightbreed. The studio totally screwed it over, it's an incomprehensible mess in places, but I still love it. Matt and Tristan go to Midian where the monsters live for Nightbreed. 

Somewhere between genius and absolute idiocy lies Skinned Deep. What a weird movie. I love it, you should watch this nonsense. Matt and Tristan talk Skinned Deep. 

     Did you know that inside this amazing lenticular VHS box is an actual movie? It's true!

     When a truck of "Genetic Material" hits a truck carrying notorious serial killer "Jack Frost" in the sleepy little town of Snowmanton, an immortal killer snowman is born, and orgy of Christmas themed mayhem is set off.

     (Also, this was great for the video store prank where you'd swap all the Michael Keaton movies with it, and traumatize some little kids.)

 Matt and Tristan talk Jack Frost. 

This eye opening documentary show the true dangers inherent in running an independent bakery. If it's not rats and shady business men, it's a murderous Gary Busey turned into cookie golem by black magic. Matt and Tristan talk Gingerdead Man!

One of the standout characters of the muck-man invasion of the seventies, Swamp Thing has been many things to many people over the years. He was a monster, an environmental activist, but most importantly a plant. Watching him punch monsters, punch goons, and punch scientists, I couldn't help but think to myself...what incredibly plant-like behavior. Matt and Tristan answer the eternal question, is Swamp Thing a rubber suit who dreamed he was a man, or a man who dreamed he was a rubber suit? 

The year is 2025. The only entertainment is Endgame. It's like the Running Man, but boring. Plus, you can just take off half way through and nobody says anything about it. Matt and Tristan enjoy the dirt-bike and machine-gun-fight delivery vehicle known as, Endgame. 

We check in on what new shenanigans our old buddy the shape gets up to this time. This week Matt and Tristan pick up every stitch for the Samhain masterpiece, Halloween III. 

Would I say that Newlydeads has a modern sensibility that really speaks to an enlightened audience? Not really. Would I say that it has several exposed breasts and someone running neck first into a two person wood saw? Yes. Matt and Tristan talk about the movie with the least GLAD nominations for 1988, Newlydeads. 

Severed ties was originally called "Army". Which is the kind of pun that works way better once you've already seen the movie. So Severed Ties it became. The specific ties being severed are limbs. They then grow back with a magic serum. Plus, they're evil and kill people. Matt and Tristan talk about one of 1992's best killer limb movie, Severed Ties. 

Virus is a movie directed by an FX legend. Directing...maybe not so much. Matt and Tristan talk Virus.
