Werewolf Winter kicks off with Steven C. Miller's 2024 action-horror film Werewolves! In a world where the Supermoon turns anybody bathed in its light into a werewolf, Frank Grillo & Lou Diamond Phillips team up to science humanity to safety. Unfortunately, it all goes wrong (naturally). This one's a little contentious between the Monstie Men!

Awooooooooo & welcome to Werewolf Winter! It's the winter, and we're talking about werewolves, ya Lil Monsties! In this episode, we talk about the cult classic Dog Soldiers, where the premise is as simple & wonderful as "what if soldiers fought werewolves?" Sometimes genius doesn't have to be convoluted.

The Monstie Men start 2025 by wrapping up their Nosferatu retrospective with Robert Eggers's take on Count Orlok! Has there ever been a vampire movie with this much spit or this many O-faces? Is this one a low-key comedy? Or is it an erotic gothic romance? There's a lot to say about this one, and we definitely talk about the mustache of it all.

Okay, Mr Cook, we accept your surrender. That's right, Lil Monsties: after all this time, you can finally (re)listen to our original episode where the original trio (Gary, James, & Mike) talk about the OG Universal Monster: Dracula! It's a Christmas miracle!
We hope you are enjoying the holiday season, we hope you enjoyed the episode, and we can't wait for you to hear what we have in store for next year.
Note: the audio is rough, the format is still forming, but this is where it all began. You may ask yourself "why does it say remastered?" Astute catch there, Monstie. This is a cleaned up version of the original stream-of-conscious episode to make it a bit more enticing for your aural pleasure... plus we had to get rid of a couple of edits that perhaps maybe had licensed music...

Well, everyone knows Max Shreck wasn't an actual vampire when they filmed Nosferatu. What this movie presupposes is... maybe he was? The Monstie Men talk about 2000's Shadow of the Vampire, a movie about the filming of the original Nosferatu set in a world where Count Orlock is a real vampire that FW Murnau hired under the guise of stage actor Max Shreck. Not only is it a wild one, but Willem Dafoe & John Malkovich are firing on all cylinders in this one.

Gobble gobble, Lil Monsties! For this Thanksgiving (one of Gary's Top 5 Holidays), the Monstie Men are here to bring you a full meal of an episode, and here's a spoiler alert: this movie certainly isn't a turkey. We talk about Werner Herzog's retelling of the silent film classic with a modern (well...for the time) twist. And this time? This time they can legally call him Dracula .

The Monstie Men dip a toe into the Public Domain as they talk about the original Nosferatu, a silent German Expressionist black & white film that was supposed to be destroyed over a century ago. Luckily, some keen theater owner had kept a print to themselves, and piracy has let it proliferate over the years. Nosferatu is probably the creepiest monster we've covered yet, even if he's Temu Dracula.

The OG Monstie Men are back to get medieval on the Evil Dead series by talking about 1992's Army of Darkness! For this special Halloween treat, Mycycle Kenny is back on the show, chatting it up with Dr Giggles & The Kid. Definitely the biggest swing in the Evil Dead franchise, Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, & Co get away from the cabin & get into the castle, telling a totally bonkers swashbuckling action period piece with just enough monsters and goofs so you don't get confused.
This is the version of Nosferatu (1922) that we watched for the next episode.

*TW: there is brief discussion of sexual assault about midway through the episode*
In 1981, five friends went to a cabin in the backwoods of Tennessee. What became of them became horror movie legend. Before the boomstick, there was The Evil Dead, a video nasty that would start Sam Raimi's ascent in Hollywood & make Bruce Campbell the genre luminary he is today. The Monstie Men tuck in for this brilliant, nasty masterpiece.
As mentioned in the episode here's thesuper no budget short film James made for a film festival

It's Gary's birthday, so James has gifted him with the incredible 2004 zombedy Shaun of the Dead from minds of Edgar Wright & Simon Pegg.

The Monstie Men head to Merry Olde England for their first alien invasion! his movie is widely available for free online, but that doesn't mean that it won't look more pixelated than an NES being played on an 8K tv. This one's admittedly a weird one, but it does seem like it's a foundational film.
Talking points: carnivorous plants, Unbreakable, saltwater hoses, A Quiet Place Day One, Unbreakable, Jon Pertwee's Third Doctor, and Unbreakable.
Stay tuned to the end to find out what Gary's birthday movie's going to be!

It's James's birthday, so it was Gary's job to pick a gift episode for him and boy, did he deliver! The Monstie Men are big Buffy (the show) fans from way back, but it's been a long time since either of them had watched the Kristy Swanson/Luke Perry(RIP)/Paul Reubens(RIP)/Rutger Hauer(RIP) cult classic. Join us, Lil Monsties, for this early-90s classic(?).

Sad to say, but it's the last episode of the Stephen Summer. But don't fret, Lil Monsties: we're going out with an absolute banger. Geekscape's very own Matt Kelly (host of Weird Al-Gorithm, White People Problems, Horror Movie Night, to name a few) join the Monstie Men to talk about the rip roaring, terror on the high seas cult classic Deep Rising! We mourn the late, great Treat Williams, talk about his full haptic video game chair, and share our fears of being attacked on the toilet. This movie's an absolute banger, folks.

Hey Lil Monsties, the penultimate episode of the Stephen Summer is here! The Monstie Men are joined by friend of the show & horndog-for-vampires Alessia Dawn to talk about Van Helsing, which is absolutely a movie that was made...and nobody can take that away from them. This one goes off the rails in the best possible way.

The Stephen Summer just can't stop with a movie that is definitely not a monster movie, but it maybe, perhaps, possibly could be considered monstrous...and that's good enough, right? But what it does is give us the chance for an inter-Geekscape crossover! Today, the Monstie Men are joined by Chris from Bulletproof Action (both the Podcast & Website). We wax poetically about our love of GI Joe, and also about this "movie." Y'all, Brendan Fraser said that his character was Rick O'Connell's grandson once, and that's good enough for us.

*Editor's note: James's audio is bad in this one, and we are so sorry*
The Stephen Summer continues with another Stephen behind the camera. This week, the Monstie Men are joined by author of the upcoming graphic novel Youth Group, Jordan Morris (Jordan Jesse Go, Free with Ads)! We talk about a little indie movie called Jaws by this up & coming director named Stevie Spielberg. You probably never heard of it & who knows if he's got a career after this one. I heard the shark doesn't even work right in this thing. Y'all know that the beaches are open & Amity means friendship?

The Stephen Summer barrels on with the final entry of the Mummy Trilogy (so far, at least) with a movie that wasn't directed by Stephen Sommers! This time, the Monstie Men are joined by Asa Waggoner, from the Californian ska band For the Record. Rob Cohen's entry into the Mummyverse has been derided in the 16 years since the movie's release, and while Asa definitely agrees with the masses, what do the Monstie Men think?
