The Mummy Returns (2001)
The Stephen Sommer heats up as the Monster Rally goes international with our special guest this week: internationally known, locally tolerated, Toronto's favorite redhead, Red Herring! Red & the Monstie Men dive into The Mummy Returns, the sequel to the perfect(?) modern classic The Mummy. Is it as maligned as some claim? Is it a hidden gem? Why's The Rock in it? Why doesn't Gary eat cheeseburgers? When will Red become the third host? Get ready for a wild ride!

The Mummy (1999)
TW: allergies are the absolute worst, so there's some awful background sounds at parts of the episode, and we did our best to take them out, but...we're sorry.
The time has finally come...a promise made at the very outset of this show: The Monstie Men are sitting across the table from each other to talk about the 1999 Stephen Sommers masterpiece, The Mummy. Do we have huge crushes on Rachel Weisz, Brendan Fraser, & Oded Fehr? Don't you? Don't we all? In a year jam packed with tons of incredible movies, why is this the best one? And why is it so closely tied to Leonardo DiCaprio? LET THE STEPHEN SUMMER BEGIN!

Abigail (2024)
The Monstie Men are back with a new episode straight out of the theater! What do you get when you mix a heist film, a revenge story, a vampire flick, and buckets of blood under the watchful eye of Radio Silence? A heck of a good time. Suffice to say, spoilers abound!

The Invisible Man (2020)
*Trigger Warning: this movie deals heavily with domestic abuse, and it is discussed in the episode.*
James & Gary close out their miniseries about Universal's Dark Universe-adjacent movies as they talk about Blumhouse's 2020 hit, The Invisible Man, starring Elizabeth Moss & Aldis Hodge. It's an interesting modern take on the classic HG Wells story, and it makes the Monstie Men ask the question: Are there any other classic Universal monsters that would benefit from this stripped-down, modern take that completely reimagines the original? Let's be honest...probably not, but maybe this episode description is lying. I'll never tell.

Godzilla X Kong The New Empire (2024)
This week on the Bob Iger Podcast, the Monstie Men are joined by their good friend & noted Kaiju Preservationist, Professor Matthew Sloyan, DKS (Doctor of Kaiju Studies), better known as the YouTube sensation GreenWitEvil! Gary & James lean *heavily* on Matt's wide breadth of Godzilla knowledge as he explains pretty much the entire lore of the Monsterverse, Gary is deeply involved in the Titans' love lives, and James asks the most important question: Are Godzilla & Gamera friends?
Next episode's movie will be The Invisible Man (2020), Blumhouse's take on the classic HG Wells tale.
Make sure to follow Matt on YouTube, Instagram, & Twitter!
