I wasnt expecting cross dressing and pro wrestling and Lou Ferigno in a Scorpion King movie I got at RedBox. Plus it was funny as heck.
The Nekromantix track got you a sub... Also, ah... I am guessing you guys are part of the big 'G" if ya know what I mean? Did they seriously create mankind as a soul farm? Are we really nothing but food for white skin giants? What is the point of existing if we are just food for quantum 'gods'?
We have no idea what you mean
@themonstersthatmadeus you should seriously stockpile food and water immediately. get a combat shotgun. remember it's GOLD not silver.
Aw man sorry I missed this live! 🎉
The gruesome twosome hit the ball out of the park with the live stream debut. That said, they get a Toronto guy, and no mention of Count Floyd😂. TMTMU are keepers of the flame true believers.
1st🎉 Hey TMTMU, great thumbnail! And not a bad episode either😂.
This version of The Monster is a cyborg and has a unique piece of machinery built into him. I just eatched House of Frankenstien last night and the doctor in that was obsessed with the monster even when he had dracula and a wilf man to play with too.
Intro song: Nekromantix- Nice Day for a Resurrection Got a subscribe off that alone lol
Hello The Invisible Dan, and Monster Mike. I enjoyed your conversation, more so than I did the actual film. I suppose in my heart, I wanted this one to be more in line with what the 2010 Del Toro Wolfman was. That said, you both made this a fun and worthwhile TMTMU episode.
Yeah, we always try to find the positive stuff to talk about. I mean, who wants to listen to two hours of complaining? Not us! They can't all be winners, but that doesn't mean there isn't fun to be had, especially when the monsters are involved. Glad to hear you enjoyed our conversation! If memory serves, I ended up appreciating Van Helsing more by the end of this episode than I did when we began recording it, and that's always fun. - Dan
As a self critique, if I want the 2010 Wolfman, I can go watch the 2010 Wolfman. Listening to your research about the shooting, locations and production on the sets and backdrops was legitimately, educational and captivating. I’m a goon for DVD extras, and this episode here definitely made me have a better appreciation of a lot of pieces of the movie.
@@ChrisConnolly-Mr.C-Dives-In It becomes tough to hate something when you realize its heart is in the right place. And sharing those discoveries with Mike and our listeners, and perhaps changing a few minds, is a big reason why I love doing this show. It's always good to look at things in a new way, especially if your memories of them aren't particularly great. - Dan
Well said. And yes, I remain on board to hear the discoveries.
Hey Fellas, this is an amazing show you have here. I am going through your entire catalog, in chronological order. What would you think about being guests on another channel to talk about monsters and your production process?
Love this!
I love the podcast! Love your research and passion. Happy to see you on TH-cam!
Thanks so much for listening!
