Customer Reviews
Brings me forward and back
Yeah, I'm a monster kid. Although I never had a subscription, whenever I found Famous Monsters of FilmLand in a stationary store or on a magazine stand, I always bugged my parents to get me a copy until I got an allowance and could buy it myself.
I grew up with horror hosts, most especially Sir Graves Ghastly in Detroit. I grew up watching monster and horror movies on television mostly. So many of those still resonate within me, and there are more than a few trips I can find them on Blu-ray, I snatch them right up.
It brings me back and gives me those "feels" associated with nostalgia and "member berries".
There are lots of podcasts that dial into this. But this one for me, it does it the most. It's just feels like somebody connecting to these things out of their love, and stays on point. The guests are amazing, so many topics are ones I want to listen to more than once.
Highly recommended
The Godfather of Monster Kid Podcasters
Even though he's a youngun' (compared to me), it seems that Derek has always been around, creating episodes, reviewing movies, and questioning guests.
Monster Kid Radio is one of those comforting shows - it has a format, you know what you're going to get, and Derek delivers!
He was a prime inspiration for my own show ("Bill Watches Movies") and was very helpful in getting the show publicized and off the ground.
He's going through some rough times now, but rough times always pass, and Derek, a true Monster Kid at heart, will be there with Monster Kid Radio, his weekend monster movie showings on Twitch, and so on.
Thank you for everything you do, Derek!
Awesome
I just have one word: Love it! Ok, well two words. But this show is the best out there. The passion of the hosts prove their commitment to excellence.
