The Monster Rally Podcast

It's finally happened: the Monstie Men finally talk Del Toro. This week, Frankenfall continues with Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein, and we're joined by Geekscape's own Jake Noonan, co-host of Geekscape's Nerding Out On Neurodiversity, to really get into it...and find out if Frankenstein's Monster is really Santa.

Check out Jake on Instagram, listen to Nerding Out On Neurodiversity, or check out any of his music projects: Danger Club, Cynful Ukes, & The Goodbye Mind.

We're back with our regularly scheduled Frankenfall with 1985's The Bride, not to be confirmed with 2026's The Bride! You could, however, get it confused with Monster Rally Film's debut title Frankenstein Meets The Circus, and Jennifer Beals & Sting are hot as Hell in it.

This week is the celebration of James's birthday, so Gary "gifted" everybody with the decision of the 100% accurate, seminal Abraham Lincoln biopic where he hunts vampires...and it was sure a choice.

The Monstie Men are joined by horror aficionado & cosplayer Kayla (aka Demonikayla) to talk about 2013's Evil Dead. Is it a sequel? A remake? A reboot? Perhaps it's the original requel. All we know is that maybe it's better than your memory tells you it is.

We have an annual tradition here at the Monster Rally where we cover a shark film for our episode closest to the 4th of July. We also have an unwritten rule that Geekscape's own Matt Kelly can only join s to talk about aquatic-based monster movies, so it was an absolute pleasure to have him back to talk Jaws, the worst Jaws movie we've covered (so far...wait until next year).

You can find Matt on Instagram, and check out his many shows, such as Horror Movie Night, Christian Cringe, Christmas 365, One Hit Thunder, & Weird Al-Gorithm - all on the Geekcape Network, all wherever you listen to podcasts.

Years ago, Netflix screwed up & labeled The Babadook as an LGBTQ+ film. It was quickly adopted by the Community & had been embraced as a gay icon. It is the perfect film to close out our Pride 2026 duology, and there was nobody that would be a better guest for it than Tony DiNizo. James & Tony are fully off the rails in this one, and don't worry, you aren't going crazy: the cold open is that long.

You can find Tony on Instagram or, more importantly, on Letterboxd.
