THE MAD MOVIE SMACKDOWN: A.D. 2025!!! With ED GRANT!

THE SMACKDOWN IS BACK! AND NOT A MINUTE TOO SOON!

JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, start the year with a game that is really just an excuse for genre film nerds to read more. Can your inflated sense of film trivia entitlement handle... THE MAD MOVIE SMACKDOWN A.D. 2025!!!?

MONSTER PARTY fans know the drill, but if you're late to the game, here's how it works: We each take turns thumbing through a genre film reference book, randomly stop on a page, blindly point at a film entry, and discuss said film with the group. What results is the kind of white-hot excitement you've come to expect from MONSTER PARTY!

Joining us for this marvelous melee of meandering movie madness is a beloved return guest! You've listened in awe at his rapid-fire encyclopedic knowledge of obscure movies on our CULT FILMS episodes, and been yearning for his return. Not only is he a well-respected writer, editor, and film journalist, he is also the host of the long-running TV show, MEDIA FUNHOUSE! Please welcome back the always captivating... ED GRANT!

MONSTER PARTY STARTS 2025 WITH A SMACK! AND IT HURTS SO GOOD!
