Monster Mash

Jesters to the left of me, owls to the right, here I am stuck in the middle with hoot.  This week, we're fighting the weirdest owl around, the Malfestio.

Snakes are weird and the Najarala is pretty much a snake. Jay wants to know what's going on with the arms, Luke's a bit freaked out, Jaster's an aerial insect glaive wizard and Andy isn't all this new-fangled pish.

This is our longest episode yet, but to be fair it is the mighty Rathalos! Also, last week was our shortest ever, so deal with it. This is the main man, the firey wyvern who rules the roost, the king of the skies. Marvel as Luke manages to find legitimate reasons to bring up Transformers, Metal Gear and Nicki Minaj.

Join a very excited Luke, Jay and Jas to crack John Cena jokes and enthuse about the slicin', dicin' Shogun Ceanataur while a very sleepy Andy continues to not understand wrestling.

Look! In the sky! It's a bat! It's a panther! No, it's Nargacuga! One of the most popular monsters about, the sleek, catlike ninja Nargacuga is a big hit with the Monster Mash lads as well. Even if they can't decide if it's a panther, a bat or the predator.

This week, we hunt the monster that well and truly gives Jay the boke: the Volvidon. He's big, red, not a car, he rolls, he shits everywhere and that is one creepy tongue. Prepare to be amazed at how much one man can hate a fictional armadillo bear, and how many tangents we can take when trying to explain it.

The lads discuss The Queen of the Land, the Rathian. Luke is glad to see Monster Hunter understand the distinction between Wyverns and Dragons, Jay wants to lure children to a park, Andy doesn't think Rathian is very pretty and nobody wants their land to even have a queen. Happy new year! Do scroll down and look at all the social media/ sharing stuff. Let's make 2017 the year of Monster Mash!

Sorry about this. In a desperate attempt to put out something festive, and have a small amount of content about Monster Hunter Double Cross and the potential film project, here is a weird Christmas Carol thing about us trying to make Andy less of a fanny. Includes some amusing outtakes and extended scenes from the first year of Monster Mash. More of the usual, actually good, content coming soon. Love you. Merry Christmas.

No, we're not telling porkies, it really is the episode you've been gagging for. Stand to attention and get ready for us to thrust some juicy chat your way. The long and short of it is this episode we get down and dirty with the no-eyed cave snake himself, the Khezu.

This week, enjoy stimulating conversation about the Gypceros. We discuss the fascinating hunt, with the stealing and sleeping and poison and flashing, the visual design and the armour. We also have a very uncomfortable discussion about the name, in which we try very hard but probably fail to not be offensive. Really Capcom!?
