116: Heretic (2024)

We're back after a good while off and ready to get theological. We're taking a much delayed listener request and looking at 2024's Heretic. So grab your favourite iteration of Monopoly and join us for a rant about the general lack of Catholic cults, how to be a good missionary, what myths actually ARE, wanting a source and a film with fantastic performances, obvious revelations & a disappointing ending.

115: Van Helsing (2004)

We're back to that early 2000's sweet spot of Action/Fantasy/Horror that we love so much with 2004's critically panned (unless you're Roger Ebert) "Van Helsing". So grab your stake gun and join us for a rant about the film taking itself way more seriously than we do, so much CGI (but it's still no Spawn), an overly dramatic Dracula, a more philosophical Adam, cool little Boggart dudes and a Werewolf with some serious Fabio hair Follow us on BlueSky @monorants, Twitter @rantsmono, Instagram: MonoRants_The_Boys or send your own rants to monorantspodcast@gmail.com

114: Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

It's time to live, (laugh at Tom Cruise)die and repeat with 2014's action sci-fi "Edge of Tomorrow. So on you feet maggots and join us for a rant about excellent chaos, entertaining deaths, exploiting your gimmick, expendable J Squad, exactly what the mimics are and just generally being a great all rounder.

113: Urban Legend (1998)

We're back to movies (and, you know, in general) this week and Mono needed a palette cleanser so we watched a bunch of teens get murdered in elaborate ways in 1998's "Urban Legend". So grab one of the many available parkas and join us for a rant about getting the most out of your character actors, punishing the wrong person, some timely hating on Jared Leto, defending goths, respecting fairies, and the problem with urban legends these days.

112: Pretty Little Liars Pilot (2010)

Well we made it to the end of Teen Drama Month and Mono has had his fill, with the final straw being the Pretty Little Liars Pilot episode. So join us for a rant about confusing openings, unlikeable characters, dodgy relationships, A's unbelievable omniscience, a not fat fat girl, Ciara overloading Mono with info and Mono being made feel nostalgic for Twilight Follow us on BlueSky @monorants, Twitter @rantsmono, Instagram: MonoRants_The_Boys or send your own rants to monorantspodcast@gmail.com

111: Shadowhunters Pilot (2016)

Week 3 of teen drama torture for Mono and things aren't going to plan. We couldn't find the show we planned and then Monzo really enjoyed the back up show. So find out what got mono interested in the Shadowhunters pilot in this rant about trying too hard, being both camp and dark & gritty, some solid world building, a bunch incredibly beautiful & highly skilled loose cannons all under 20 and Ciara trying to spoil everything for Mono.

110: The Vampire Diaries Pilot (2009)

It's week two of Mono's unwilling journey into teen drama. This week is a little more his flavour because it involves vampires (yay) that fall in love with teenagers (oh no). It's the pilot episode of The Vampire Diaries and a rant about the scale of annoyance, meeting vampires outside toilets, updating Buffy, why Stefan is marginally better than Edward and mono shattering any illusion of enjoyment on the second watch.

Sci-Fi Wise Guys

Cult movie discussions from people that love them! Their enthusiasm is so fun and infectious that sometimes it's hard to finish an episode because you want to go watch the movie yourself!

The MonoRants... The Boys team take a break from insane superhero TV shows to have mostly Non-Spoiler chats about cult and lesser known films with some hidden gems for good measure. Tangents aplenty, references that are for nobody, nsfw, no refunds.
