Monster Kid Radio #053 - Cheesy B-Movies with Tom Biegler, Part Two

A monster that looks like it was made out of papier mâché, a were-jellyfish, and John Carradine - these are just a few of the topics brought up in Part Two of Derek's cheesy monster movie discussion with monster kid sculptor Tom Biegler. This time around, some of the movies Tom mentions are films Derek's never seen before, but next week for his birthday, Derek will sit down to watch at least one of them (we're looking at you, were-jellyfish). (Speaking of your host's birthday, since next week Derek is celebrating his 40th birthday, Monster Kid Radio's schedule will change a little bit. Instead of a show on Tuesday and Thursday, there will be only one show on Wednesday.) Also on today's episode, the winner of the Tom Biegler Island of Terror sculpt is announced!

Monster Kid Radio #052 - Cheesy B-Movies with Tom Biegler, Part One

Quick! Get some wine to go with this week's cheese! This week on Monster Kid Radio, Derek is joined by returning guest and sculptor Tom Biegler for a discussion of our favorite cheesy monster movies. We love 'em, but let's be honest. There's a solid layer of cheese on some of these flicks, which is a testament to the film's worth because we wouldn't love them any other way! During their discussion, John Agar is mentioned a few times (John Agar Rules!), and Derek tends to sidetrack a bit, but Tom keeps him on course. (And don't forget our 50-Review Challenge!)

Monster Kid Radio #051 - Scott & Tracey Morris' Monster Mania, Part Two

Last month, Scott and Tracey Morris left Disney, Indiana for a monster-filled weekend at the Historic Artcraft Theatre in Franklin, Indiana. The event? Monster Mania. The movies? The Invisible Man (dir. James Whale), The Mummy (dir. Karl Freund), Frankenstein (dir. James Whale), and Creature from the Black Lagoon (dir. Jack Arnold). The host of this podcast? EXTREMELY jealous. Most of these movies were movies neither Scott nor Tracey had seen before seeing them at the Artcraft, and in Part Two of their Monster Mania debrief, they'll share their first time thoughts about these films and they even put up with Derek gushing about Creature...! Also, Derek reminds listeners how they can enter the drawing for the original sculpt of the Island of Terror silicates created and donated by previous Monster Kid Radio guest Tom Biegler. (And don't forget our 50-Review Challenge!)

Monster Kid Radio #050 - Scott & Tracey Morris' Monster Mania, Part One

Last month, Scott and Tracey Morris (the high high-muckety-mucks of Disney, Indiana and returning guests to Monster Kid Radio) went to the Artcraft Theater's Monster Mania event in Franklin, Indiana. The 2-day event featured 35mm print screenings of six classic Universal monster films, and most of these films were first time viewings for Scott and Tracey. In Part One of their Monster Mania debrief, they tell Derek about the Artcraft and the two movies they watched on Day One of the event - Dracula (dir. Tod Browning) and The Wolf Man (dir. George Waggner). Also in this week's episode, Derek reminds listeners how they can enter the drawing for the original sculpt of the Island of Terror silicates created and donated by previous Monster Kid Radio guest Tom Biegler.

Monster Kid Radio #048 - Paul McComas Walked with a Zombie, Part One

He's back on Monster Kid Radio, and this time, he brought a zombie with him . . . or did he? Author Paul McComas (Fit for a Frankenstein, Planet of the Dates, Unforgettable: Harrowing Futures, Horrors, & (Dark) Humor) joins Derek to talk about the Val Lewton 1943 classic I Walked with a Zombie (dir. Jacques Tourneur). Derek's background as a former zombie movie podcaster has brought him in contact with this movie before, and Paul's love of voodoo films has made I Walked with a Zombie a mainstay in their DVD players, and in Part One of their chat about the film, you'll find out why.
