Monster Kid Radio #258 - Justin Macumber and a look at Dracula

He's the original Dead Robot. He's a Hollywood Outsider. And he likes Dracula (dir. Tod Browning). He's author and podcaster Justin Macumber, and this week he joins Derek to talk about this landmark monster film and it's impact on them. It's a light conversation that speaks to what it is about these movies that brings us monster kids together - we just LOVE THEM and love talking with others who love them. Also, Derek reminds the listeners about why this Wednesday, March 9th, is important.

Monster Kid Radio #254 - The 2015 Monster Rally Retro Awards & A Word About a Magazine

Every year, Monster Kid Radio retroactively honors the genre cinema of the past with the Monster Rally Retro Awards, or as we like to call them, The Rallies! As most agree that 1931 was the year that started the horror film genre thanks to Universal's iconic monster movie releases, we'll start with 1931, and (thanks to a suggestion from Monster Kid Radio Irregular and writer Stephen D. Sullivan - buy his books!), we'll also honor 1941's and 1951's monster movie makers. Last year, the ballots were submitted, and now it's time for the winners to be announced! Plus, Derek has a few words about a monster magazine.

Monster Kid Radio #253 - Chris McMillan and The Thing From Another World

Way back in Episode #1 of Monster Kid Radio, The Shadow Over Portland's Chris McMillan joined Derek to discuss their Top Three Favorite Monster Movies, and this week, on Episode #253, Chris is on the podcast to discuss his Number Two pick - 1951's The Thing from Another World (dir. Christian Nyby). There's a reason why this film made Chris' list, and there's a good chance it may creep up on Derek's Top Three the more he thinks about it! Also, while discussing the film, Derek realizes an odd, tenuous connection he almost had with this film.

Monster Kid Radio #252 - Christopher R. Mihm and John Agar

Christopher R. Mihm is beginning his second decade as a filmmaker with his upcoming movie Weresquito: Nazi Hunter. Before production of this sure-to-be-a-hit film kicks off, he stopped by Monster Kid Radio to talk with Derek about the upcoming movie. As much as it is to talk about the films of the Mihmiverse, it's also a lot of fun to talk about one of the patron saints of Monster Kid Radio, John Agar, and Chris and Derek do just that!

Monster Kid Radio #251 - Yongary and Stephen D. Sullivan

After a quick congratulatory shout out to Joshua Kennedy regarding recent accolades for his movie Slave Girls on the Moon, Derek gets down to business in the deep with Stephen D. Sullivan. The two of them discuss 1967's Yongary, Monster from the Deep (dir. Kim Ki-duk). Does the recent blu-ray release of this South Korean monster movie deserve a place in your movie collection? How does Steve handle playing a round of the Classic Five? And how can you read more of Steve's monster fiction on a regular basis? Listen to this episode to find out! (WARNING: YONGARY SPOILERS AHEAD.)

Monster Kid Radio #249 - Meet Monster Kid/Filmmaker Joshua Kennedy, plus holiday greetings!

This week's Monster Kid Radio guest just had one of his movies accepted into next year's Miami International Science Fiction Film Festival, but before that happens, he spends some time with us here on the podcast. Joshua Kennedy is a film student who's been making waves in the retro monster film community, and in this week's episode, he and Derek talk about his background (he was a Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award nominee - when he was 15!), his movies, and his favorite Hammer actress. We also play a round of the Classic Five! You'll get all this and a batch of holiday greetings from previous Monster Kid Radio guests.
