Hey everybody! Welcome to a very special episode! I've got two fantastic guests here with me (Rod and Adrian), and we have a very obscure horror film to talk about today. There's a specific reason this film was chosen, as these guys are extremely knowledgeable about Italian cinema. I also have a little extra special intro and outtro for this one as well. Just a small tribute to a very special person. So jump in the van, take your eyes off of that girls legs, and grab your nudie magazine, because we're going on a road trip!As usual, if you'd like to leave any feedback for the show, you can do so through email at Magazinesandmonsters@gmail.com or to me on Twitter @Billyd_licious or on the show's FB page (just search Magazines and Monsters). You can find Rod at his blog and podcast The Bloody Pit, as well as cohost (with Troy) of the Naschycast! Adrian (along with Rod) can be heard on the fun Wild Wild Podcast! All of these shows can be found on any podcast app. Thanks for listening.

Rattling in a MASSIVE Iowa Buck: Biggest Deer of My Life! | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 452 As November's rut action explodes, hosts Matt and Tim welcome Drury Outdoors team members Dave Kramer and Rick Malik to the studio to break down Dave's unbelievable Iowa bow kill. Hunting near a steep bluff on his cousin Carter's beautiful property, Dave and Rick strategically chose a stand half a mile from the massive buck's core area based on a perfect wind. The rut action was immediate, with the deer counting upwards of 30 bucks by mid-morning. Despite Dave's reluctance to call, Rick persuaded him to try rattling , which proved to be the pivotal moment. Within seconds, the 6.5-year-old giant, affectionately known as "Ed Jones," charged out of the thicket and stopped at 20 yards. The incredible footage captures the chaos as Rick battled to film the rapidly moving deer, shouting updates while dealing with trees. Dave, at full draw, waited for the massive deer to clear the limbs and executed the shot on his personal biggest buck with any weapon. The shot was successful, and the celebration was shared immediately. Dave and Rick share the full story of this spectacular hunt, Rick's "I told you so" moment , and their attempt to enter the "Ring of Honor" by winning "Producer of the Year" for the third straight time.

Big Bucks, Cold Fronts & Winchester Wisdom | 100% Wild Podcast Ep.448 Tim and Matt catch up with Jason Gilbertson, Winchester's Director of Marketing, to talk cold fronts, deer movement, and how weather timing shapes his hunts back home.

Matt Drury Finally Lands the Perfect Shot | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 447  Matt opens up about coming home from Idaho after skimming a bull's back and how it tanked his confidence, then walks through the exact moves that put a mature Missouri buck on the ground: ditching minerals, building and maintaining DIY water holes, reading an east/southeast wind with nasty thermals (and a neighbor 90 yards away), and leveraging a pre-built mock scrape for a 25-yard heart shot.

Think of this episode as an unofficial eleventh entry in the most recent season of Wild, Wild Podcast. When Adrian Smith and I discovered that ZORRO THE AVENGER (1962) had no real connection to Italy we dropped it and reviewed another Zorro movie instead. But we had already watched this one and wanted to talk about it as well. Since this is a Spanish production it has many connections to the films of Paul Naschy so we could have just as easily made this an episode of the Naschycast. And wait until you learn who wrote the script! We ramble a bit but were trying to keep this show as brief as Adrian prefers the Wild, Wild Podcast episodes to be. We fail in the attempt, but there was a solid effort made, I promise! The history of cinematic Zorro adventures is touched on with favorite versions of the character listed. As I state in the show, most Zorro films seem to tell the same tale with a few variations so the joys here are noticing the choices made in casting and emphasis. American actor Frank Latimore plays our hero and the legendary Howard Vernon is the villainous Colonel Clarence. The cast of female actors includes Maria Silva years before she was a victim of the Blind Dead or clashed with a certain Spanish werewolf. We don't spoil the film as it is easy to catch online but we do make a plea for a better-looking version to be made available.  If you have any comments about Zorro or anything else we covered in this episode (we really did ramble) thebloodypit@gmail.com is the place to send them. Thank you for listening and we'll be back soon!

In this episode, the crew is at it again, discussing listener questions, but this time the questions are a little more technical. The crew discuss the challenges of humidity on camera gear, managing focal points and time in the field, as well as how to turn your passion into a business and a lot more. And of course, there are many bunny trails the crew can't avoid going down as they get lost in this passion-filled listener-question episode.

Why Long-Range Hunting Is Easier Than You Think (w/ Brian Wiese) | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 441 Join host Matt Drury and guest host Jim Richman for a wide-ranging conversation with Brian Wiese of the Drury Outdoors team and co-host of Critical Mass. This episode dives deep into long-range rifle shooting, the power of suppressors, and how Brian and his partner Cody use 14+ POV cameras to capture some of the most dynamic and cinematic hunting footage in the game. They discuss how modern scope technology (like Leupold's CDS dials) makes 400-yard shots accessible, the balance of recoil and precision with cartridges like the 6.8 Western, and how suppressors are changing the game—not just for accuracy but also for ethical, effective deer management. Plus, the crew shares behind-the-scenes insight into a 12-hour spot-and-stalk hunt, dealing with an influx of mountain lions on their Nebraska properties, and how scent control is critical when you're placing cameras right in a buck's exit path.

He Beat Cancer… Then Tagged a 201 4/8" Illinois Giant | 100% Wild Podcast ep.440 Adam Locke joins Matt and Tim from the “Land of Lincoln” with a raw story that starts in a doctor's office and ends with a 201 4/8" Illinois buck on the ground. Adam walks through the pain that led to a testicular cancer diagnosis, surgery, recovery, and how faith, family, and deer season pulled him forward. He breaks down the hunt—late-October conditions, access, wind, doe groups, and how he stayed in the game a month and a half after surgery. The guys also kick around how modern tech changes hunter efficiency, swap Cardinal baseball memories (spot the Bottomland Cards hat), shout out the Rat Pack, and flag a limited deal on the Stealth Cam Spectre 4K. Matt closes with an F3 men's group plug about getting stronger together. Solid perspective, actionable whitetail takeaways, and a reminder to make every season count.
