Camp Kaiju: Monster Movie Podcast

Swamp Thing (1982)


Listen Later

He's a lean, mean, jolly green giant with the powers of... the swamp! Wes Craven delivers a comic book flick with mutants, evil geniuses, and lots and lots of fog. Does this slimy superhero rise from the muck or is he best left in the greenhouse? Plus, discussions on the superhero genre, Wes Craven's career, slime wipes, and the anatomy of a plant man. You know what they say, what happens in the bayou stays in the bayou! Then, Peter Lorre reviews The Mad Monster (1942) - a werewolf film like none other.
