He's a lean, mean, jolly green giant with the powers of... the swamp! Wes Craven delivers a comic book flick with mutants, evil geniuses, and lots and lots of fog. Does this slimy superhero rise from the muck or is he best left in the greenhouse? Plus, discussions on the superhero genre, Wes Craven's career, slime wipes, and the anatomy of a plant man. You know what they say, what happens in the bayou stays in the bayou! Then, Peter Lorre reviews The Mad Monster (1942) - a werewolf film like none other.Thank you all for listening!

The debut of that other Big G - Gamera! And that's with one "M", before you forget and wind up on the roasting end of his fire breath. Or maybe you'd prefer the Toshio approach to certain death: ignore every warning and run straight toward the rampaging kaiju. Honestly, who's watching this kid? YOU are! As you thrill at a movie that may have started as a Godzilla knock-off, but proved it had jet legs all of its own. Along the way, we discuss the American "Gammera", MonsterVerse news, horror award nominations, and more!

You haven't lived until you've seen this erotic, sci-fi thriller about a team of scientists hunting an alien with one thing on her mind: procreating with every hunk she comes across. We ain't sayin' its high class; in fact, we might even use the word tawdry. But it's busting at the cocoon with cheesy lines, campy effects, and questionable decisions. Thrill as you watch an A-list cast battle a most fearsome foe (a poorly written screenplay?) in this 90s cult classic. Then, Peter Lorre reviews the dubious WWII espionage-horror, Black Dragons (1942).Thanks for listening! If you enjoy Camp Kaiju, please leave a rating and review.

The Martians are coming! Don't trust anyone! So it goes when a young boy descends into a nightmare of tentacled alien heads, mind-controlled parents, and Martians in green pajamas. And it's all shot in surreal, colorful imagery. Grab your telescopes, get in your tank, and cover your necks - we're digging into this seminal, yet underseen, sci-fi film that influenced the likes of Spielberg, Scorsese, Dante, Cameron, and more. Then, if that wasn't enough, Peter Lorre trims his lilacs on the Poverty Row Picture Show covering the John Carradine classic, Bluebeard (1944). What a time to be alive!

Greetings Beast Folk. Welcome to Dr. Moreau's island. Don't suck the water, kill the rabbits, or even pretend to memorize your lines. Such was the case with this film's two powerhouse leads: Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer. You can literally see their egos taking over and ruining everyone's time. Forbidden Planet anyone? Not to mention the on-set witchcraft, the world's smallest man (inspiring Austin Powers' Mini-Me!), and ice bucket hats. Truly, this is a film everyone should see to believe. So dear Sayers of the Law: does this adaptation of an H.G. Wells classic stand the test of time? Or is it best left in the House of Pain? Plus, enjoy Peter Lorre's review of a Bela Lugosi haunted house romp called Spooks Run Wild. We're all running wild with this one.
