SOMETHING I WOULD DO

BANDCAMP

Continuing the Halloween festivities, Brian and David conscript their pal Naomi to talk about the only straight horror film in Ishiro Honda's filmography, 1963's Matango! Is this secretly the perfect kaiju movie for the scariest time of the year? We certainly think so!

THETRUTH

Spooky season has come to a close for the year, so the self-proclaimed biggest Camp Cretaceous fans in the world have finally come together to review the second season of that show's follow-up, Jurassic World: Chaos Theory! The Internet claims this is the best Jurassic content since the original! This podcast once gave that title to Camp Cretaceous. Are the rumors true? Or is this just the Jurassic franchise's equivalent of a filler arc?

Talking Toku E81: Jurassic World: Chaos Theory S2 REVIEW

In the wake of the live action adaptation's trailer being released to the public, David finally peer pressures Brian into starting one of his favorite animated trilogies of all time, How to Train Your Dragon! How does the first film in the franchise hold up after almost 15 years? Does Dean DeBlois' live action version seem like it will be worth watching? Not in the least! But the original is still delightful.

Opinions change over time! It's just a fact of life, and this show is no exception. Brian and David take some time to talk about some of the movies they used to like and now dislike, or vice versa. There might be some surprises in there, and definitely ones that some fans might take issue with...

UNDERGROUND BUMPS VOL 4

FADEAWAY

Talking Toku is BACK, and kicking off 2025 with Universal Studios' latest attempt at bringing their cast of classic monsters to the big screen, Wolf Man! How does it hold up? Does Leigh Whannell keep up the good work after his excellent take on The Invisible Man? Does it even come close to touching either of the last two takes on the Wolf Man? The answer to most of the questions is no!
