Monster of the Day #3359

They didn't have an actual Godzilla movie, but they had an episode (or more?) of the old Hanna-Babera Godzilla series. Yes, yes, the one with Godzookie, the Scrappy Doo of the Godzilla world. Here Godzilla fought the Fire Bird. Sounds fun, I wouldn't mind seeing more of this in the future. I mean, a…

After Return to Oz the '80s streak continued with Skatetown USA, which the Chads rather liked, I believe. Then came the film Chad R sponsored (although he gave me credit, grafting my head on a cartoon admiral; take that, Cap'n Crunch). He went super old school and showed The Giant Claw, because, hey, it's…

Return of Dr X (in no way a sequel to Dr. X) led to Showdown in Little Tokyo. I remember not liking it much way back in the day--maybe because of the constant jokes about how big Dolph Lundgren's dick was--but the Chads gave it very high marks, so you might want to give…

Monster of the Day #3356

Great B-Fest line-up (all the youngsters stayed away because of, presumably, the 'Rona, so no huge percentage of recent films, as they were picked by the old far contingent of the traditional audience). Brain that Wouldn't Die was followed by Master of the Flying Guillotine (great choice), Firewalker, the perennial Plan 9 from Outer…

  Rock raised a valid point; is Jan in the Pan a monster? I think she falls under the "would eight year-old Ken think it's a monster" rule. However, she is clearly more victim than monster in any case. Not so for this nauseating spectacle. I have to admit, I will never really like…

OK, I'm more or less recovered from having guests in (in various and ever changing amounts) for 12 days straight, two 24 hour events on back to back weekends, having my sleep schedule, such as it is, heavily disrupted, and then having to return to waking up at 3:30 AM when I returned to…

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! I haven't seen it, but if I'm remembering correctly Cemetary Man is a love story about a guy who goes to zany lengths to protect his zombie girlfriend.* Awwwwwwwww. (*On the other hand, in romcoms it's totally valid for ladies to leave their supportive fiance because he snores.) I should…

Looking for an Alien knock-off to watch this weekend. There's the dystopian future serial killer/monster hybrid pic Split Second. Bonus, it stars Rutger Hauer.  If you want a Hauer double bill, Amazon Prime also currently has Blind Fury, the attempt to bring the Zatoichi the Blind Gambler movies to America. It was very spottily…

I apologize for all the terrifying dreams you guys have after viewing this. Anyway, being an astute crowd, several of you noticed Jabootu subject The Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf, probably Christopher Lee's worst movie, is on Amazon Prime. Well worth a look, although obviously it will also be a Watch Party…
