MPM: Ep. 174 - The Age That Devo Ruled The Earth

The Creature From The Black Lagoon | Revenge of the Creature - Hello everyone! Welcome to another episode of Motion Picture Meltdown! We're continuing our MONSTER MONTH OF MAY by going back to the 1950's and roasting through a couple of classic Universal Monster movies that we left out of our slew of movies last year. This week Phil, Dehart and myself go through the first two movies in the "Creature" trilogy, The Creature From The Black Lagoon as well as Revenge of the Creature. In this episode, we talk about how we'd approach a "creature situation" as a scientist, we harp on 1950's logic and womanizing, and wonder what exactly happened to Jeffrey of the Black Lagoon. Enjoy!

MPM: Ep. 173 - The F*ck You Buddy System

The Mist | The Descent - Hey everyone! Welcome to another episode of Motion Picture Meltdown! To continue our MONSTER MONTH OF MAY, Phil, Dehart and myself decided to do a couple of more modern and popular monster-themed movies. We go through a horror movie that seems to be nearing the top of many horror movie lists in The Descent and we hit a movie based on a Stephen King story and directed by Frank Darabont in The Mist. In this episode, we talk about wrong decisions we've made an immediately regretted, We discuss possibly THE most-hated movie character of all time, and decide that if you're cheating on someone, don't give them the same necklaces. Enjoy!

MPM: Ep. 172 - Everybody Gets A Flamethrower!

John Carpenter's The Thing | The Thing (2011) - Hey everyone! The Monster Month of May has begun for Motion Picture Meltdown! The podcasts each week for the entire month will be dedicated to some of our favorite, and least favorite monster movies! In this episode, we go over a horror movie that is on the top five list for all three of us, in John Carpenter's The Thing as well as the 2011 prequel to the film, The Thing....I know, original, right? In this episode, you'll hear us talk about what names we could come up with for a prequel without calling it the same thing, Phil and I trial by combat over the necessity of the prequel, and we decide telling "fuck you" to an alien, is really the only acceptable thing you can do. Enjoy!
