The Monster Rally Podcast

Jules (2023) w/ Katie Hampton

EDITOR'S NOTE: In the time between the recording & posting, the Disney/OpenAI deal was scrapped, so don't "@" us. Friend of the show & Geekscape pillar Katie Hampton is back on the show with Jules, a movie starring Ben Kingsley and filmed in the gorgeous & proud state of New Jersey. It's *kind of* an alien invasion flick that Katie tricked James into thinking was a monster movie. You can follow Katie on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram. Check out her shows Napping Through Happy Hour and Christian Cringe wherever you listen to podcasts, and you can watch Katie & James on Geekscape News (usually a couple of times a week) and the Tutorial Guild: a Dungeon Crawler Carl Tunnel, alongside Jefferson & Aaron.

Castle Freak (2020) w/ Alessia Dawn

EDITOR'S NOTE: Due to circumstances out of our control, the audio may not be as crisp as it normally is, but at least the entire record wasn't scrapped. James & Alessia loved everything about the original Castle Freak. How does the remake from 2020, a year that was totally chill & nothing bad happened, hold up? You can follow Alessia on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠and ⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠. She's no longer afraid of the internet.

Castle Freak (1995) w/ Alessia Dawn

James & Alessia fully let their (castle) freak flags fly in this one, Lil Monsties. This is a series of firsts, and certainly won't be the last, of us covering Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton, Stuart Gordon, HP Lovecraft, Full Moon Features, or any combination thereof, we promise. Castle Freak is a gnarly, bizarre, and horny movie that is just a little bit perfect, not despite its flaws, but because of them. You can follow Alessia on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠and ⁠Letterboxd⁠.

Christine (1983) w/ Alessia Dawn & the Jersey Ghouls

Fan-favorite Alessia Dawn fills in for Gary as she & James are joined by fellow Geekscapers, the Jersey Ghouls, as they delve into the John Carpenter X Stephen King classic car collaboration! This was a blind spot in Carpenter's body of work for James, and even though they're both huge King fans, it's very funny that the Ghouls were brought on to talk about his bro-iest film adaptation.

Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004) w/ Red Herring

Red Herring joins James as both Werewolf Winter and our coverage of the Ginger Snaps trilogy comes to an end with 2004's prequel, Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning. If we had a nickel for every series that deals with werewolves having a third movie that's a prequel, we'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
