MONSTER PARTY IS GOING TO THE MOVIES! AND WE MAY BE THERE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, climb up their imaginary rickety ladder with an armful of imaginary red plastic letters to create the movie billings of their dreams. Sit back with your flat Dr. Pepper and box of Hot Tamales, as we present another round of monumental movie mashups that we're calling... THE MONSTER PARTY MOVIE MARQUEE VOL. 2!!! Once again, MONSTER PARTY chooses from their favorite and not so favorite sci-fi, horror, and fantasy films, to provide listeners with a night (or sometimes night AND day) of themed viewing that is sure to please even the most discerning monster kid. We're talkin' double features, triple features, film festivals, and MORE!  Joining us for this marathon of monstrous movie madness is the film fiend who was with us for THE MONSTER PARTY MOVIE MARQUEE VOL. 1. He's an amazing actor, writer, filmmaker, and comedian (The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, anyone?), who has been a friend and long-time supporter of our show.

MONSTER PARTY GETS WORDY! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, revisit a topic that provides our listeners with a unique glimpse into their minds. Cthulhu help us! It's a psycho psyche-slicing celebration called... THE MONSTER PARTY WORD ASSOCIATION GAME VOL. 2!!! Again, this game is exactly what you think. We each take turns saying a word, and the others must respond with the first genre-related thing that pops into their minds. This game is a tried and true technique utilized by therapists throughout the ages. So what could be more fun than listening to a bunch of nerds who frivolously misuse it? This game was first introduced in a PATREON EXCLUSIVE segment, but was such a hit that we had to do it as a regular episode! Then that episode was such a giant hit that we felt we had to do another one! But this one needed something extra! Some OOMPH! And that OOMPH came in the form of a guest! Helping to navigate the dark waters of our minds is a returning guest, and friend of the show. She's a brilliant comedian, podcaster, film expert, 70mm film tech, and projectionist to the stars! Please welcome back, the incomparable... GARIANA ABEYTA! (THE POPCORN MAFIA, THE CINEFAMILY, THE TELLURIDE FILM FESTIVAL, OPPENHEIMER) FEEL FREE TO PLAY THE MONSTER PARTY WORD ASSOCIATION GAME AT HOME! BUT IF SOMEONE HAPPENS TO BRING UP BONE TOMAHAWK... JUST WALK AWAY.

IN SPACE... NO ONE CAN HEAR A GREAT PODCAST. UNLESS IT'S... MONSTER PARTY! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, engage in another round of high octane movie poster blurb competitiveness! The imaginary stakes have never been higher as we ask the question... WHOSE TAGLINE IS IT ANYWAY?!!! Throughout film history, taglines have been an integral part of film promotion. At their best and worst, they have the ability to shock, titillate, educate, and amuse. That's why MONSTER PARTY is pleased and proud to bring you this 4th installment of the, "guess the movie from the tagline" game. It's the topic that keeps on giving! Joining us for battle in the TAGLINE TERRORDOME is a longtime friend of the show, and a pop culture expert. He's an astoundingly accomplished actor, writer, producer, host, and voice artist, as well as the co-founder of BIF BANG POW! TOYS. Please welcome back the always delightful... JASON LENZI! (A DISTURBANCE IN THE FORCE, PLASTIC SOUL: THE ENTERTAINMENT EARTH POP CULTURE SHOW, CANNONBALL, WIPEOUT, CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER, BEAT THE GEEKS, LET'S THE BOWL) THE TAGLINE GAME IS BACK! BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRAID!  

WHOSE TAGLINE IS IT ANYWAY?!!! With JASON LENZI!

MONSTER PARTY WANTS TO BE THE HOLY GRAIL OF YOUR PODCAST COLLECTION! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, take a deep dive into an unrelenting but often rewarding obsession. With the precision of a surgeon, MONSTER PARTY wields its nerd scalpel to examine the... ANATOMY OF A COLLECTOR!!! One thing all the members of MONSTER PARTY have in common is their love of collecting genre-related items. Whether it be toys, books, records, artwork, or other assorted treasures, acquiring these often elusive items has been an almost endless source of pleasure throughout our lives. But what makes a collector tick? Why do we collect? Is it a fun financial investment? Is it to provide us with a sense of self-worth? Is it okay to just collect what we like, or is it crucial that our collection is "better" than someone else's? And what is better? Does what we collect say something about us as people? Should our collections be on display? Or is keeping them in a safe deposit box WAY more fun? In this episode, MONSTER PARTY will attempt to answer ALL these questions, and many more! Joining us for this artifact acquiring analysis is a brilliant artist, writer, and comedian, who brings his extensive knowledge of art history and literature (yes, you will hear Balzac mentioned) to this topic. He possesses what has been said to be the largest collection of JUMBO MACHINDER toys (offered in this country as the SHOGUN WARRIORS) outside of Japan, and even owns the ultra-rare GARADA K7, a figure whose existence was at one time considered a myth.  Please welcome to his first official MP episode... TOM FRANCK! (JUMBO TITAN X AND THE GREAT ROBOT ARMS RACE, COMICS AND COMICS, A DINOSAUR CHRISTMAS, BOY-BOT AND BOY, GREEN LANTERN) NOW GET TO LISTENING, BEFORE YOU SUFFER THE PLASTIC FINGER MISSILE WRATH OF "THE GREAT MAZINGA!"

MONSTER PARTY GOES FASHION FORWARD AND BEYOND! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, take a time-travel trip down the runway of tomorrow, to celebrate the most incredible outfits from science fiction. It's a guided tour through the garments of the galaxy, as we present... FUTURE FASHION! Whether it's fashion week on Tattoine, Triskelion, or Terra, sci-fi has always provided us with a tantalizing array of would-be wardrobes. This episode playfully takes aim at some of the most amazing, outrageous, and awful creations in genre films and TV throughout the years. With a Tim Gunn-esque eye for detail, we explore the pulp-inspired creations in THINGS TO COME, the hits and misses of STAR TREK, the 70s chic of SPACE:1999 and LOGAN'S RUN, the dressed down/samurai sizzle of STAR WARS, the cyber-punk noir gear of BLADE RUNNER, and much more! But for a podcast of this magnitude, we needed a guest with the one-two punch excitement of Dolce & Gabbana! He's a friend of the show, as well as a talented author, screenwriter, actor, improviser, cartoonist, podcaster, and brand namer. And when he's not doing all that, he's MONSTER PARTY'S go-to armchair science fiction fashion critic. Please welcome back, the always in style... MARC HERSHON! (SUCCOTASH: THE COMEDY SOUNDCAST SOUNDCAST, THE CALIFORNIANS, THE FUNSTER, MONSTER MAKERS, SANTA JR., WEDDING DAZE, I HATE PEOPLE: KICK LOOSE FROM THE OVERBEARING AND UNDERHANDED JERKS AT WORK AND GET WHAT YOU WANT OUT OF YOUR JOB, THE HUFFINGTON POST) AND SPEAKING OF FASHION, WE STILL HAVE T-SHIRTS AND CAPS FOR SALE.
