  • Became a favorite quickly

    This podcast quickly contain a favorite for me after just a few episodes. I’m now trying to make my way through The entire series. This is also one of my rare podcast favorites for which I will likely listen to certain episodes multiple times. I like the fact that the host Steve and his different guests, will discuss a very wide range of movies in different genres. And the clever way they choose which movie is they literally roll a die, and that chooses which genre and then they choose a movie i... more

  • The Hardest Working Man in Podcasting!

    What started as a movie review podcast has grown to include amazing celebrity interviews and a sub-cast (?) called Hammerama. Listen to one interview with Mr. Turek and you’ll be amazed how he connects with his guests. He seems to surprise even them with his in-depth knowledge of their careers. Terrific!

  • A Welcome And Important Resource For Film Fans!

    What started out as a great and heartwarming podcast with Steven and his kids, Ben and Michaela, has grown into a polished, well researched and welcome addition to the film review community at large and the Monster Kid community as well.

    Steven's interviews with the stars and creators of yesteryear and more recent films, are important, as we need to get their stories captured and told to a new audience.

    Highly recommended podcast for film buffs of all ages and genres!

  • The Turek Family Joins The Podcast Community

    Mr. Steve Turek, familiar voice from Monster Kid Radio and The Classic Horrors Club Podcast, has officially joined the podcast community along with his son Ben and daughter Mikaela. Steve knows his movies and now we get to hear from his children and their varying opinions. The format is unique, offering a variety of films chosen by a roll of the die. Awesome start and I look forward to more!

459 The Stranger (1946) w/Joshua Kennedy
Q: What do you think about the difference in styles of these guys playing Checkers with him?
Kennedy says Edward G. Robinson's character uses the games to draw information from Potter, while Rankin is genuinely focused on winning and establishing his alibi.
459 The Stranger (1946) w/Joshua Kennedy
Q: Is this your first time watching The Stranger?
Kennedy first saw it in high school and did not care for it, but he enjoyed it much more on rewatch and found more to appreciate in the film.
455 The Host (2006) w/Rod Barnett
Q: How familiar are you with him?
Barnett says he has seen The Host, Mother, and Snowpiercer, praises Mother, and says he has yet to watch Parasite, Mickey 17, or Okja.
455 The Host (2006) w/Rod Barnett
Q: How accurate do you think that is?
Barnett says the plot overview is broadly accurate but covers only the film's early portion and leaves out its blend of genres and political layers.
456 The Bad Seed (1956) w/Bill Mize
Q: What are your thoughts about it?
Mize says the film ending gives Rhoda a form of punishment, while he personally prefers the novel and play's ending, in which Christine dies and Rhoda survives.
