Episode 30 - The Monster Mash II Afterthoughts


This episode was exactly what I imagined the experience of this podcast being. Goofing but learning, pontificating but not taking the fun out of movies, and sharing fun times with two fun fellow horror nerds. Not that it hasn’t been great everytime thus far, I just enjoy taking note of this episode as we air it. We had a lot of fun recording it which is just reassurance that our decision to start doing this format for many of the shows was the right one. There is rejuvenation in our approach without the restraint of time for countless other movies to cover within the hour. Basically having twenty minutes give or take for each movie creates a very relaxed nature to the show and allows us to cover any and all things we want. With plenty of extra-curricular goofing (see: Det. John Kimble) in there as well. I cannot express how excited I am to pull back on the thick franchises for every episode, spread those out and pick an assortment of films we are excited about for these mash shows. We will continue to cover themes, sub-genres, actor/director filmographies etc. but this sure is a fun change to have in the mix. If you are not enjoying it, make your peace because it won't be going anywhere in the near future! However, if you are a listener of the show I highly doubt this format perturbing you in the slightest.

 
As for the films this episode, what a trio! Rosemary’s Baby, Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, and The Black Waters of Echo’s Pond were are all very fun to cover and different in material. Films that cannot be guaranteed to have been covered within a theme at some point.


Lastly, I would just like to take a moment to clarify that if we cover something that leads you to a topic you would like us to cover at some point then let us know on social media. Roman Polanski is a perfect example. Whereas we see Rosemary’s Baby as a certainty to cover on our show but as a stand alone, maybe some of you want to hear us cover Repulsion, Knife in the Water, The Tenant, etc. If that is the case for any topic, always run a dialogue with us! That is why we are doing this and are on social media. We LOVE talking horror cinema so reach out anytime. While doing this show (and desired results do take time) I will be honest in saying that we strive for more interaction. Thus far, it has been fairly modest and we hope in the coming months for it to be much more in the mix with us and all of you and each other! So speak up! Don’t feel the need to wait, if you got something on the brain then hit us up!

Lastly, I am curious….

Who is your daddy? And what does he do?


Until next time…
