Podcast Monsters

After an incalculably long hiatus, we're back, and we figured there's no better way to return than by inviting Alexa on to demolish Drowzee's self-esteem! Join us as we scour the depths of Hypno's depravity, which, spoiler, is a lot.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod Special guest @Tweed_Thneed @gr8shrimp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega

We have returned! We have the honor of having the lovely Lynn Dewitt (@lynndewitttoya) as our guest host this week! We finally reach the first ghost-type Pokemon, and discover that Gengar is a freak in the sheets as well as the streets. Legally I can't ask "who ya gonna call?" but I think you get the gist.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @nathanaelsass @lynndewitttoya @gracerempp

With a new year comes a new guest, and we're lucky to have our pal Sallie Myers on the show! Self-described as the world's biggest Grimer fan, she  helps Nathanael and Grace find out what exactly makes up Grimer's nasty, nasty existence.    Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @nathanaelsass @gr8shrimp   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

Another year has come and gone (thank GOD) and we're back with our annual holiday episode! Grace and Nathanael discuss the jolliest Pokemon they can find, and Grace reminisces about a Disney Channel Original Movie that probably doesn't actually exist. There's nothing more festive than the Mandela effect.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gr8shrimp @nathanaelsass

Like the chill of winter, we have returned, with two icy pals to discuss! Seel isn't gonna win any awards for originality, but at least he's got... uh.... hm. Maybe this guy needed a little more time in the oven.

A chill runs up your spine as a cursed .mp3 file appears in your podcast subscriptions... But opening it only leaves you with silence. "That was weird and didn't really go anywhere," you think. Then you open up Podcast Monsters and listen to our second annual Halloween episode! Happy Halloween!

Oops! All Doduo! We made a big goof getting this one out of the factory, and it turned out to be two episodes Frankensteined together. In retrospect, it's kind of fitting for an episode about Doduo, nature's mistake.

Did we go into this episode expecting to dunk on Farfetch'd? Absolutely. Did we expect to emerge from this episode transformed and enlightened to our new favorite Pokemon? Not in a million years. Sometimes your expectations can be a little... farfetch'd. Haha do you get it   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gr8shrimp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega. High quality rips in this episode by SiIvaGunner.

We're back! Nathanael has settled in to Chicago, which means episodes are back on schedule! Join Grace and Nathanael as they find out what would happen if Windows 95 was a Pokemon, plus the unfortunate revelation that Magnezone is a cop. Hoo boy.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gr8shrimp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

Much like Slowpoke, Grace and Nathanael may not be the quickest on the uptake, but they make up for it in heart. Unfortunately, unlike Slowpoke, they lack the delicious, juicy ass that they discover Slowpoke possesses. Can't win 'em all, folks.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gr8shrimp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega. The Slowpoke Song is owned by The Pokemon Company.

We're back in the saddle as actor and comedian Josh Flitter joins us on today's episode! We discover Ponyta's powerful feet and Josh pitches us on Pokemon Tinder. Someone hire this man IMMEDIATELY.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod Special guest @FLITTER @gr8shrimp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

We're back with a jam-packed episode for you, and the critics agree: Grace and Nathanael talked about Golem's ass for far too long! Sorry about that one.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gr8shrimp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

These guys, man. They're not gonna win any awards; in fact, we'd be shocked if they're even nominated. But of all the things you could say about Tentacruel, you can certainly say this: Tentacruel was banned forever because of 9/11.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gr8shrimp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

Look, if you like Weepinbell, maybe skip this one? We go pretty hard on the guy, but frankly? We think he deserves it. Grace and Nathanael also stumble upon a scam to sell the world a plant that doesn't exist. This one's a trip.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gr8shrimp @nathanaelsass

Are you ready to hit the gym, down a protein shake, and get RIPPED? We certainly aren't, but we know a few Pokemon who are raring to go. Grace and Nathanael find out what makes Machamp so strong, and more importantly, what's under those shorts ;))))))   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gr8shrimp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

Hello Trainers, we hope you're doing well! This week, Grace and Nathanael deep dive into the body horror of Kadabra, Pokemon careers, and the time a magician sued Nintendo. We also get through the whole episode without making a Harry Potter reference, thank GOD.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gr8shrimp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

Buckle in, because we've got a big one this week! Grace and Nathanael discuss the newest abom- er, monkey Pokemon, and take a deep dive into one of Pokemon's strangest unsolved mysteries. SpOoKyY!!

Happy Pokemon Day! Grace and Nathanael are back to talk about some of the goodest boys around, Growlithe and Arcanine! We also find out what happens when you let an AI robot write a Pokemon story. The future? It's right now, and it thinks Ash and Brock are brothers.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gr8shrimp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

The holidays are over and 2020 is upon us, and with a new year comes a Snorlax-sized episode! Grace and Nathanael discuss their experiences playing Pokemon Sword and Shield, and speedrun through the entire Galar Pokedex! They also decide which Gym Leaders should live or die, so I hope you didn't like the ones we sentenced to death!   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gr8shrimp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas! Grace and Nathanael are filled with the giving spirit, and are delivering you a special holiday episode! Grab some cocoa, snuggle up with your Pokemon pals, and listen as they review two of the most festive Pokemon in the dex, and take an unexpected deep dive into one of the most bizarre Christmas movies in existence.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gr8shrimp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song for this episode is "Pokemon Christmas Bash" by the Pokemon cast.

A warning for this one, folks: Grace comes into the discourse with a pretty strong anti-monkey bias. We're sure Mankey won't mind though, as he'd probably hate her regardless. One thing that Grace does love, though? Learning about CANON Mankey death.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gr8shrimp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

We heard you've been going through a lot. Life is that way sometimes, so today we're inviting you to kick back, take a break, and learn how Pokemon cope with all the stresses of THEIR lives. In Psyduck's case... not well.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

Seeing as he's the only Pokemon who can talk, it makes sense that Meowth hops on this episode of Podcast Monsters. What doesn't make sense is why the Pokemon company decided it would be cool to make Alolan Persian's head a gd watermelon. Listen now, or prepare to fight! (Meowth, that's right!)   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

In this very special Halloween episode, Grace and Nathanael present each other with their favorite spooky Pokemon, and they learn that the Pokedex is not afraid to get grotesque. Trainers beware, you're in for a scare...   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass

Have you ever wondered what lies below Diglett's cute exterior? It's sort of impossible not to, right? Wonder no longer, as special guest Hayley Hudson joins us and we get down to the literal bottom of one of Pokemon's longest mysteries.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod Special guest @hayley_hud @gracerempp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

Venonat is NOT a team player, and he gives us virtually nothing to work with in this episode. That's okay, because licensed Comedy Professionals™ Grace and Nathanael work around it by finally getting down to the biggest question of them all: does Brock vape?   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass

We are back from hiatus once again, and we've got an unintentionally spooky episode, as we discover that Grace and Nathanael are not the only beings who are empty inside! (Hint: Parasect is also empty inside.)   Follow us on Twitter! @Pokemon Pod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

This episode, the Pokedex entries get the most brutal we've seen yet. Mother Nature was... not kind to Gloom. Plus, we learn one of our cohosts is a bona fide Poke-Thief.     Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

FINALLY: Team Yell, Galarian Weezing, and Pikachu knockoffs. Oh, you thought I was listing the newest Pokemon reveals? Silly, I'm just listing a few of the many many things Golbat can fit in his big nasty mouth.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

Big shocker on this one, folks: we deem Jigglypuff a cutie. So is Wigglytuff- who could resist those ears? But Igglybuff? Put that little weirdo right back in the oven, thankyouverymuch.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

What Pokemon will not hesitate even a little to curse you for 10,000 years? Did you think of something spooky like Gengar? Well, you're wrong, unless you thought of Ninetales, who we discover is the pettiest (and prettiest) thing we've ever seen.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

Are you sitting down? You should be, because the amount of raw, unmitigated cuteness in this episode will sweep you right off your feet, and set you back down on the surface of the moon. Trust us.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

We're BACK from hiatus and boy do we have a lot to talk about- Sword and Shield news, Pokemon Sleep and more! We also somehow manage to chat about Nidoran in there, and folks? He NASTY.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

We are proud to have Carissa Bruner as our first ever guest on Podcast Monsters! It's only fitting, as this episode is all things girl power. But hey, gang, you know what's NOT girl power? The twisted reproduction cycle of the Nidoran.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod Our special guest @therissabear @gracerempp @nathanaelsass Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

Today's the day! We've come to Grace's favorite Pokemon, and we grapple with rating your favorite Pokemon objectively. We also spend an inordinate amount of time discussing Neopets, which, in retrospect, feels like a bit of sacrilege.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

We've hit our 10th episode, and it just so happens to line up with the legend himself, Pikachu. How do you define a legacy? Listen in to find out! PLUS: Someone gives the show's first 10/10!   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

Look out! A wild Tsacdop appeared! Haha, just kidding. It's just a regular podcast, spelled backwards! Speaking of which, did you know that Ekans backwards is snake? As we find out in this episode, some people don't!   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

We'll be real with you: in this episode, we tried to avoid talking about Spearow. Or maybe we discussed all that there is to be said about Spearow. You be the judge.   Pokemon Fusion: https://pokemon.alexonsager.net/ Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Ciceriega.

Rattata may not look like much, but this week we find out that it can take down ANY POKEMON IN EXISTENCE. Bow to your new god.    Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

Okay gang. Think back to the time in 8th grade where you made a risky decision with your personal style that, in the long run, didn't really pay off. Well friends, you may have more in common with Pidgey than you might think.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega.

One word: MURDERSQUISH. Wait, is that two words? Doesn't matter, because Beedrill MURDERSQUISHED them together.   Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass thepodcastmonsters@gmail.com

Today we take on the cute (and surprisingly large) Caterpie family, and herald Metapod, a trans icon.  

We round out our starter episodes with Squirtle, the Tiny Turtle Pokemon, and also discuss how Blastoise could absolutely wipe out Poke-Crime. Team Rocket is quaking in their boots.   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega. Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass

Grace and Nathanael tackle the Charmander evolution line. Get it? Like Tackle, the first move Charmander can learn? Am I funny yet, mom?   Our theme song is "Pokemon" by Neil Cicierega. Follow us on Twitter! @PokemonPod @gracerempp @nathanaelsass

In the first episode of Podcast Monsters, Grace and Nathanael take on the first Pokemon, Bulbasaur, and his evolutions Ivysaur and Venusaur. You may not be everyone's choice, but you're first in our hearts, Bulbasaur.
