I am very excited about this episode of Monster Men. There is a lot going on. First of all, we have our buddy, Anthony Ventarola back on as a guest. Since the topic is The Walking Dead, we ask him to join us. Not only does he love the show and have a great perspective on it, but he has actually been to Georgia and visited many of the locations used in the show. He knows his stuff and is always fun to talk to.
Ant, Hunter and I discuss the state of The Walking Dead here at the season four hiatus. How have we liked the season so far? How does it compare to last season? What did we think of the big mid-season finale? What were some of our favorite moments… and favorite kills? What do we think will happen next to Rick, Carl, Daryl, Michonne, Carol, Tyreese, Maggie, Glen and the rest of the group?
If you want to get your Walking Dead “Geek On”, you’ve come to the right place.
After our discussion we have a very special treat for you. Anthony was kind enough to share video footage from his recent trip to Georgia where he visited several locations from season three of The Walking Dead, including Woodbury, the town where Morgan lived and the restaurant where Carl and Michonne risked their lives to recover a certain item that was important to Carl. It is very
interesting and very cool. Be sure to stick around to the end of the show to see this segment.
One of the new things you’ll notice in this show is that we recorded it remotely rather than together in the same room. In the spirit of expanding what we do on Monster Men, we plan to have more guests on and this format makes it possible for us to schedule people at most any time and from most any location. It really will extend our reach and enable us to take the show to new heights. This was our first run at it and we are very excited to bring you an array of very interesting guests in the New Year.
What did you think of The Walking Dead this year? What do you think is coming next? Let us know!
Are you a fan of Paranormal Activity, Insidious, Sinister, The Purge, The Bay, The Lords of Salem? If you answered yes to any – or all – of those movies, you have Blumhouse Productions to thank. In this episode, Jack and Hunter explore the filmography of possibly the most important and relevant filmmakers in horror today.
If you told us when we were recording our first Monster Men podcast that we would still be rolling along 49 episodes later, we would have probably laughed you out of the Monster Men Studio. Goes to show what we know.
We started this madness talking about vampires, so we figured it’s only right to celebrate our 50th episode waxing poetic about the men who played Dracula throughout the last 90 years. Grab a pint of blood, relax your bat wings and join the celebration. And while you’re at it, tell us who your favorite Dracula was in the movies.
OK, after 2 years of living without a website, the Monster Men finally have their own dungeon…I mean home. We’re just a few days away from October, or what Jack and Hunter call #Horrortober. That means prepping for Halloween, watching a horror movie a day, scary reads and saving our sheckles for horror cons.
We’re going to add the Monster Men archives over the next few weeks, which means you’ll be able to watch all 48 episodes right here, in the comfort of our horrid abode.
So, to get you in the proper mood, let’s start things off with a few Halloween themed podcasts. Watch on, if you’ve got the guts.
