This jam packed new episode of MONSTER PARTY is all about... PLANET OF THE APES! 

Talking humans JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, welcome back our comedy Lawgiver and “Apes” expert supreme... DANA GOULD (STAN AGAINST EVIL, THE SIMPSONS, SUPER ADVENTURE TEAM, MOB CITY), and knock back a few rounds of “grape juice plus”!

For this special 2014 SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL COMIC CON podcast, JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, throw the rules out the window and let demon booze decide where the conversation goes! It's... ANYTHING GOES!!!

We don't want to give away too much but let's just say that the film, FREE ENTERPRISE, is revealed to be a malevolent force, capable of destroying friendships. And don't get us started on THE BIG BANG THEORY. Oops, too late!

Get ready for one of strangest MONSTER PARTY podcasts ever!

The topic is TIME TRAVEL and JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, and MATT WEINHOLD, welcome super comedian and THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN staple, JAKE JOHANNSEN, to explore the complexities of the time/space/booze continuum. Sadly, LARRY STROTHE could not join us (due to some good natured tampering with his time line that temporarily erased him from existence), but filling in is Matt’s lovely, intelligent and opinionated wife, CAROLYN WEINHO

This time out, JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, are graced by the loveliness of scream queen MAX WASA as they discuss…wait for it… SCREAM QUEENS!

It’s a celebration of those tantalizing heroes and victims who are the staples of cinematic horror!  Oh, and it’s also a drinking game, created from our inability to be inebriated say, “scream queen”. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!

In this episode, we also welcome vampire/zombie rapper WAYZAY to the party. Let’s do t

JAMES GONIS, LARRY STROTHE, MATT WEINHOLD, SHAWN SHERIDAN (absent, but there in spirit), and special guest, actor/comedy writer/longtime chum, KEN DALY (NERD POKER, THE KARATE KID, STAN AGAINST EVIL, SUPER ADVENTURE TEAM), revel in the amusement park magic of... DARK RIDES!

We’re talkin’ haunted horror houses (Ken’s quite the expert on that one), Japan’s take on the sci-fi of Jules Verne, and that crazy Norwegian ride at Epcot that’s half travelogue/half scenes from the movie TROLLHUNTER!

Join the comic, earth-shattering action as JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, sing the praises of one of our favorite screen monsters... GODZILLA!

But what would a great party be without a great guest? That's why we have have writer (Another 48 Hours, Darkness Falls, and loads of other truly great stuff), director, artist, and Godzilla expert... JOHN FASANO!

JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, drink a magical elixir called vodka, as special guest comedian and visiting necromancer, JACKIE KASHIAN (CONAN, COMEDY CENTRAL, THE DORK FOREST PODCAST) schools us in the often annoying subject of... FANTASY!

Get ready to learn why you're wrong about THE LORD OF THE RINGS, even wronger about WILLOW, and probably permanantly damaged by the horrors of KRULL. And how does WORKING GIRL fit in to all this? Because we say so, damn it!

JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD,  are joined by monster of comedy DANA GOULD (STAN AGAINST EVIL, THE SIMPSONS, SUPER ADVENTURE TEAM, MOB CITY) as they breathe new life into those undead staples of horror...VAMPIRES!

Some of the questions pondered are, "Why didn't Blacula protest his name?", "Why is a bloodsucking Muppet allowed near children?", and "Why does Tim Burton have to ruin everything we love?"

JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, welcome comedy actor... DAVE HIGGINS (Higgins Boys and Gruber, Ellen, Malcolm In The Middle, American Horror Story) to a lively discussion about... GHOSTS!!!

This leads to some very kind words about THE SHINING, some not so kind words about POLTERGEIST, some unusual comments about CASPER, and then back to kind words about Dave's new show, INTERNATIONAL GHOST INVESTIGATORS: HOLLYWOOD DIVISION, now airing on Direct TV's Audience.

JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD,  unearth the classic monster/horror films of UNIVERSAL STUDIOS with our guest monster movie expert, The Pitbull of Comedy... BOBBY SLAYTON! 

You'll need to pour yourself two fingers of fright as we talk about the best of... UNIVERSAL MONSTERS!!!

Like FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER, DRACULA, THE WOLFMAN, THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, THE INVISIBLE MAN, and begrudgingly, THE MUMMY... you know, I guess because we had to.
