  • Midwest Monsters Episode 233 - Home Invasion A Roundtable Discussion

    Join us as we have a discussion on one of the most basic of fears put to screen since 1909- home invasion. Everyone needs a safe, happy place to call home so the idea of someone choosing to violate that, can make for some unpleasant but effective movies. As long as movies have existed, this topic has been explored so be sure to listen in as we take a look at what makes these movies work and some of the notable offerings over the years.

  • Midwest Monsters Episode 230 - Monsterpiece Theatre 5

    Join us for a discussion where we are taking a look at beloved films "Robocop" and "From Dusk Till Dawn".
