Fun Box Monster Podcast

Those pesky Crites are back, and this time they have a bigger FX budget, but not quite enough money for Dee Wallace. Still somehow probably the best installment of the franchise, which of course, is the greatest film franchise in history. Better even than the Munchie expanded universe, or Munchiverse to its legions of fans. 

Gotta catch em all!

You'd think there would have to be a better way to see hot guys in their underpants in this day and age, but there isn't, so we were forced to watch Dreamaniac for our yearly allotment of hot guys in underpants posing like Morrissey. Join us for the worst delivery vehicle for fully waxed dudes available on sub-par DVD, Dreamaniac. 

The Howling pitches a far-fetched world where most people are angry feral monsters just out for themselves. Crazy right? But some of them have fur. Basically, it's like Anthrocon right before lunch time.  Join Matt, Tristan and a group of unemployed Roger Corman actors for 1981's most inexplicably revered film, The Howling. 

If your hope for the movie the Mangler is to see some horrifying Manglings, I think you're going to be pretty pleased. If you want a story that makes sense...maybe less so. Join Matt and Tristan in the speed folder for 1995's The Mangler. 

Now it looks to me like them Bradley boys done got themselves mixed up in a whole mess o' trouble out there yonder by the crick, so Granny and Susan had to peel out the old Secretary of the Treasury Hamilton (That was my best NYC version of the General Lee) and bust them boys out.  Join Matt and Tristan for the down home helpin' of possum grits you city folks call, Basket Case 2. 

WHOOO!!!! It's Spring Break!!! We're taking a brief respite from blood and guts, to enjoy a beach vacation with a movie that has both visuals and sound. It features actors and people both shooting and editing film to create a narrative of sorts. Oh...Just as an afterthought, and strictly in the most tasteful and artistic of settings, there's boobs. Join Matt and Tristan as they decide if they are Sex Geezers, or members of the Geek Squad during a discussion of 1984's Hardbodies. 

In this episode, Tristan confuses the term Sound Stage and Back Lot, and misidentifies a real town as a sound stage. And that's in the first five minutes!

I didn't do much research, but I assume this is some sort of prequel to City Slickers 2, only instead of searching for Curly's gold, it's four colorful serial killers going on a murder spree during a blackout. No wait...I think the prequel to City Slickers 2 was City Slickers 1. But if part 1 is a prequel why did they release it first? Man. I'm reporting that one to the IMDB goofs section. 

Please believe me. We are not hateful people. We love movies. We love horror movies and Larry Cohen.But....this movie is so awful. If this is your first episode...maybe consider another one? We are super negative in this one. But have you seen it? We talk about this movie and I guess I'm sorry? Maybe there's some funny bits that make it worth listening to? I really don't know.
